Cole recorded an assist, four hits, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Cole has three helpers, a plus-5 rating, 22 hits and 27 blocked shots over his last 11 outings. The 36-year-old defenseman continues to play his role effectively for Utah, though it's not one that leads to accolades or fantasy interest in most cases. He's up to 16 points, 62 shots on net, 69 PIM, 98 hits, 191 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 75 appearances this season.

Durzi notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Durzi has four points over his last nine contests. The 26-year-old blueliner set up a Barrett Hayton goal in the second period of this contest. Durzi typically isn't among the leaders for points from defensemen, but he's a reliable depth scorer and shot blocker in a top-four role. A shoulder injury earlier in the year has limited him to eight points, 27 shots on net, 40 blocks and an even plus-minus rating over 23 appearances this season.

Mukhamadullin sustained an apparent upper-body injury and is questionable to return to Tuesday's game versus the Ducks, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Mukhamadullin was injured early in the third period and appeared to be favoring his shoulder, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. The defenseman scored a goal prior to his injury, giving him nine points in 30 NHL appearances this season. He's also slotted in as a top-four option down the stretch for a Sharks team already hampered by multiple injuries to blueliners. It's unclear if he'll be available to play Thursday against the Oilers.

Hedman scored a goal in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

It was Hedman's 60th point of the season, and it was the fifth time in his career that he hit that mark. He extended the lead to 3-1 in the second period with a goal off the rush. Hedman is on a three-game, six-point streak that includes two goals, and he has seven points (two goals, five helpers) in his last five outings.

Fehervary was struck in the face by a puck in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Gulitti speculated that Fehervary's nose was broken, but there was no official update from the Capitals regarding the defenseman's status. The team is back in action Wednesday on the road versus the Hurricanes. If Fehervary can't play, Alexander Alexeyev will likely be pressed into action.

Schenn (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Kings, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Schenn is dealing with some stiffness that occurred during Tuesday's morning skate. The Jets are opting to play it cautious, with Haydn Fleury set to draw into the lineup in Schenn's absence. The Jets' next game is Thursday in Vegas.

Maatta (lower body) will not play Tuesday, Brogan Houston of Deseret News reports.

Maatta was labeled a game-time decision by head coach Andre Tourigny earlier in the day. This will be Maatta's second straight absence, but it doesn't appear to be an overly serious injury he's dealing with. Nick DeSimone continues to fill in on the third pairing in place of Maatta, who will try to be ready for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Trouba (lower body) will be back in action against San Jose on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Trouba will be back in the lineup after missing just one game due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner is currently mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he has managed just one helper to go with 11 shots. Oliver Kylington will likely be relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch with Trouba back in action.

Schenn (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against the Kings on Tuesday, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Schenn left Tuesday's morning skate early and will be evaluated before puck drop. He has generated one goal, five assists, 70 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 277 hits in 70 games between Winnipeg and Nashville this season. If Schenn can't play against the Kings, Haydn Fleury or Ville Heinola could be in the lineup.

Manson (upper body) will not travel with Colorado for its upcoming three-game road trip, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Tuesday.

Manson last suited up March 14 and has missed eight consecutive games. Erik Johnson and Keaton Middleton have each received playing time on the third pairing in Manson's stead. Colorado's three-game road trip concludes Saturday, so Manson may not be an option until a home matchup against the Golden Knights on April 8.
