Dahlin picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

The star blueliner helped set up tallies by Noah Ostlund in the first period and Beck Malenstyn in the second. Dahlin has posted back-to-back two-assist performances since returning from a three-game absence due to a personal matter, and on the season, the 25-year-old has a goal and 13 points in 16 contests with 41 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 13 hits and a minus-9 rating.

Roy scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Roy lit the lamp against his former team just under four minutes into Monday's contest for his first goal of the season. With his opening goal to the campaign, the 30-year-old blueliner is up to three points, 28 shots on net, 21 hits and 40 blocks through 19 games this season. Despite his slow start offensively, Roy hasn't missed a beat in terms of category coverage and is once again near the necessary pace to reach his fifth straight regular season with 100-plus hits and blocks. Roy is a solid depth fantasy defenseman in category leagues and could find a way to increase his scoring output alongside his blue line partner Jakob Chychrun, who is also heating up offensively.

Kolyachonok was recalled from AHL Texas on Tuesday.

Kolyachonok could be in line to make his 2025-26 season debut if Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed) is unable to suit up versus the Islanders on Tuesday. Acquired from Pittsburgh in the offseason in exchange for Matt Dumba, the 24-year-old Kolyachonok has featured in 74 NHL games in his career, racking up four goals and 10 helpers for the Coyotes/Mammoth and Penguins.

Nystrom pocketed two assists in Monday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

It was the first multi-point performance of the rookie defenseman's career, as he had a hand in tallies by Jordan Staal in the second period and Taylor Hall in the third. Nystrom was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, so it's remarkable he's even made it to the top level. Through his first 14 games for Carolina, he's produced three assists, 18 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating, but he'll likely return to AHL Chicago once the Hurricanes' blue line gets healthier.

Carlson (upper body) is in the lineup for Monday's road matchup versus the Bruins, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Carlson will resume his usual role on the top pairing and No. 1 power-play unit in Boston. As a result of his return to the lineup, Declan Chisholm will be a healthy scratch. The 35-year-old Carlson has generated four goals and 14 points through 17 appearances this season.

Parekh (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Parekh is currently week-to-week, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him pop up on injured reserve. Considering the blueliner has featured in just two of the Flames' last nine outings, his continued absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers -- especially considering he has managed a single point in 11 games when healthy.

Lauzon was sidelined against Minnesota on Sunday with an undisclosed injury, Golden Knights' broadcaster Dan D'Uva reports.

Lauzon was limited to just 8:02 of ice time in the previous matchup with the Blues on Saturday and was unable to play the second half of the back-to-back. With Lauzon on the shelf, the Golden Knights deployed Ben Hutton in a third-pairing role versus the Wild and will likely continue to do so until Lauzon is given the all-clear.

Chabot (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Chabot sustained an upper-body injury during last Tuesday's game against the Stars, and the Senators announced Thursday that the defenseman was expected to miss approximately two weeks. His move to injured reserve shouldn't impact his return timetable, but Jordan Spence should have an opportunity to step up for Ottawa while Chabot is sidelined.

Mancini was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Mancini sustained an upper-body injury against Edmonton on Oct. 26 that forced him to spend several weeks on injured reserve, but he was activated off IR on Friday. However, he didn't appear in any games for the Canucks over the weekend and should have more consistent opportunities to work on his conditioning in the minors. Over five appearances with Vancouver this year, Mancini has recorded no points, six hits, five blocked shots and five PIM while averaging 10:32 of ice time.

Guenette was traded to the Flyers from the Senators on Monday in exchange for Dennis Gilbert. Additionally, Guenette agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract.

Guenette has yet to suit up this year, as he was an unsigned restricted free agent. In the minors last year, the 2019 seventh-round pick notched nine goals and 14 helpers in 58 regular-season games. Given the time off, Guenette will likely need some time getting up to speed with AHL Lehigh Valley before being in the mix for a call-up.
