Edmundson scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens.

The veteran blueliner and former Hab got the Kings on the board just 1:17 into the second period by blasting a one-timer from the point past Sam Montembeault. Edmundson has never produced more than 20 points in an NHL campaign, a mark he reached in 73 regular-season games for Los Angeles last season. However, he's off to a flying start to 2025-26 by his standards, earning eight points in 17 contests, including seven points in the last nine games.

Chychrun scored a power-play goal on five shots on net while adding four PIM, two hits, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

The 27-year-old blueliner ended an eight-game goal drought by snapping a rebound past Frederik Andersen early in the third period, giving Chychrun his 100th career NHL goal. He's been productive in his second season with the Capitals, producing four goals and 11 points in 16 games while adding 53 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 PIM, 14 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating.

Carlson picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

The veteran blueliner extended his point streak to four games with the performance, a stretch in which he's collected two goals and six points. Carlson has been streaky so far this season, but the overall results have been good. He's delivered four goals, 13 points, 35 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 16 contests.

Kessel scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flames.

Kessel has played a part-time role over the first month-plus of the season. The 25-year-old was making just his eighth appearance of the season, and he was able to get on the scoresheet for the first time with a goal at 13:43 of the first period. He's added six shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating. Kessel's ice time is likely to remain low, as the Blues frequently lean heavily on their top-four blueliners, and he's firmly on the third pairing at best.

Hughes logged three assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.

Hughes played a part in all three of the Canucks' goals in this loss. The 26-year-old has racked up six helpers over his last four games after being held scoreless Nov. 3 versus the Predators in his return from a lower-body injury. When healthy, he has played at his usual elite level, racking up one goal, 12 helpers, 40 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 14 appearances. Hughes will continue to see massive minutes on the Canucks' blue line, which is still dealing with a couple of injuries to Derek Forbort (undisclosed) and Victor Mancini (upper body).

Morrissey scored a power-play goal, dished two assists and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Morrissey has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the Jets' last nine games, with the lone exception being last Tuesday's shutout loss to the Kings. The 30-year-old blueliner had two points, including his goal, in the first period, and he added a power-play helper on Gabriel Vilardi's tally in the third. Morrissey is up to three goals, 16 points (four on the power play), 30 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 16 contests. All three of his goals have come in the last six games.

Fleury (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Canucks in the second period, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Fleury's injury is his second of the season already after he missed a game due to a kneecap in October. The defenseman's status should be updated prior to Thursday's game against the Kraken. If Fleury can't play, Colin Miller would likely enter the lineup on the third pairing.

Ekman-Larsson delivered a goal in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Tuesday.

It pulled the Leafs to within one goal early in the third period. Ekman-Larsson wired a wrister from the point that fooled Jeremy Swayman. OEL is becoming a bit of a renaissance man with a point in four of his last five games (one goal, three assists).

Ahcan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Ahcan has been on the shuttle to and from the AHL frequently this season. The Avalanche's next game is Thursday versus the Sabres, and the Eagles don't play Wednesday, so Ahcan won't be back with the big club immediately this time around.

Rielly picked up an assist in a 5-3 loss to Boston on Tuesday.

It was his 438th assist, and that moved Rielly past Tomas Kaberle for second among defensemen in Maple Leafs history. Borje Salming is first with 620. Rielly is on a six-game, eight-assist streak, and he has 14 points in 16 games thus far. He has just two power-play helpers, but that unit has struggled, and he's now a one-man band for excellence.
