McAvoy delivered two assists in a 5-3 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

McAvoy has yet to record a goal this season, but he has 14 helpers in 17 games, and that includes six on his current four-game scoring streak. McAvoy is back to the level he showed in the early 2020s when he delivered 56, 52 and 47 points, respectively (2021-22 through 2023-24).

Lindholm scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 5-3 win over Toronto.

It came on the power play. Lindholm pushed the Bruins up 2-1 near the midpoint of the first period when his wrist shot from above the left circle beat Anthony Stolarz to the top right corner. He has four points (one goal, three assists) in his last four contests. Lindholm will never replicate his lightning-in-a-bottle 2022-23 season in which he put up 53 points. Still, now that he's healthy, he could put up more than 30 points.

Jensen scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

It was his first goal of the season. Jensen pinched in from the blue line and finished a passing play by chipping the puck over Jake Oettinger's glove from in tight. He has four points (one goal, three assists) and 13 shots in 17 games this season, and he averages about one hit and one block each game. Jensen's fantasy value is limited, at best.

Andersson scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Andersson found the back of the net at 14:29 of the second period, 25 seconds after Matthew Coronato's goal, with a wrister that went past Jordan Binnington. This was Andersson's first goal since Oct. 20, and while he can deliver solid numbers in the physicality department, he ultimately isn't producing enough to warrant much fantasy consideration despite his top-pair role in the lineup.

Heiskanen put up two assists Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

The points extended Heiskanen's scoring streak to five games and 11 points, including 10 assists and 10 shots. Five of the helpers have come on the power play, including one Tuesday. Heiskanen has really caught fire after scuffling through the first 12 games games with just two goals and three assists on 30 shots.

Chabot sustained an upper-body injury and won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Stars.

Chabot did not take the ice for the second period, and the injury explains why. The 28-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day until more information is made available. Nikolas Matinpalo would likely draw back into the lineup if Chabot is unable to play Thursday versus the Bruins.

McDonagh (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

After being injured in Saturday's 3-2 win over Washington, McDonagh will miss the next few games. He hasn't been practicing, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has recorded three goals, six points, 15 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and eight hits through 15 appearances this season. McDonagh's move to the IR list frees up a roster spot for the Lightning to recall a blueliner from AHL Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

McNabb logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

This was McNabb's first point of the campaign. The 34-year-old has remained in a top-four role, but he's almost exclusively a defensive presence. His slow start to 2025-26 makes it unlikely that he'll be able to get to the 20-point mark for a third straight season. In addition to his assist, he has nine shots on net, 20 hits, four PIM, a plus-4 rating and an NHL-best 51 blocked shots through 15 appearances.

Petry produced an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Petry is warming up in November with three helpers over his last four games. The 37-year-old defenseman has been working alongside Donovan Sebrango this month after Uvis Balinskis was most often on the third pairing in October. Petry is up to five helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 contests. He should be a regular in the lineup, but he'll only be a part-time power-play option, which limits his scoring potential.

Sebrango notched two assists, two hits, a plus-2 rating and five PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Sebrango has played in all five of the Panthers' games in November, supplanting Uvis Balinskis as the team's preferred option on the third pairing. The pair of helpers accounted for Sebrango's first scoring contributions of the season. He's added six shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating in seven outings between Florida and Ottawa.
