Siegenthaler (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per PuckPedia.

Siegenthaler has already missed seven games due to his lower-body injury and is expected to be sidelined until mid-March at the earliest. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was mired in a 15-game pointless streak during which he generated 21 blocks, 16 hits and 15 shots while averaging 18:20 of ice time.

Del Mastro scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Del Mastro put the Blackhawks up 3-1 with his second-period tally. The 22-year-old defenseman has two goals over his last three games, and he's added five blocked shots in that span. The rookie has three points, seven shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 11 outings. He hasn't seen power-play time this season, but that could be a duty added to Del Mastro's workload if he continues to hold steady at even strength. For now, Alex Vlasic and Alec Martinez are handling the power-play work for the Blackhawks following the Seth Jones trade.

Martinez scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Martinez tallied against his former team at 10:57 of the first period, though the Blackhawks' initial lead lasted less than a minute. Since the start of February, Martinez has three goals and three assists over 10 outings. The 37-year-old is poised to at least temporarily see power-play time following Chicago's deal to send Seth Jones to Florida. Martinez could ultimately lose his role with the man advantage to a younger defenseman like Ethan Del Mastro or Wyatt Kaiser. For the season, Martinez has 12 points, 34 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 34 appearances.

Mukhamadullin notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Mukhamadullin is settling in well at the NHL level with three helpers over five games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 23-year-old blueliner saw 21:28 of ice time Monday -- while the game went past regulation time, this was still a season high for the rookie. He's up to four points, 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 appearances. It's tough to trust most Sharks defensemen in fantasy, but Mukhamadullin is showing a bit of multi-category potential early in his career.

Manson (lower body) will not play Tuesday versus the Penguins but is making progress in his recovery, according to Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

Manson will sit out for a seventh consecutive game Tuesday. The right-shot blueliner is trending in the right direction, so he could be an option for Thursday's home matchup against the Sharks. Once he's ready to return, Manson will most likely replace one of Oliver Kylington or Sam Malinski in the lineup.

Dahlin scored a goal on six shots, added six PIM, levied four hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Dahlin has racked up four goals and 10 assists over his last 10 games. He's not one-dimensional either -- he has added 21 shots, 21 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman has double-digit goals in each of the last four campaigns, sitting at 10 goals, 38 helpers, 133 shots, 75 blocks, 69 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 51 outings in 2024-25.

Jones notched an assist, four blocked shots and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.

This was Jones' first point in three games since he came back from his conditioning stint with AHL Hartford. The 24-year-old is poised to play a larger role down the stretch as the Rangers have pivoted to selling. Jones is still on the third pairing on paper, but he saw 19:14 of ice time Monday as well as a power-play role in the absence of Adam Fox (upper body). Six of the Rangers' seven healthy blueliners are left-handed shots, so there could be a pinch point for bottom-four minutes once Fox is healthy again.

Borgen scored a shorthanded goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.

Borgen ended an 11-game goal drought with his tally late in the first period. The 28-year-old isn't known for his offense, but four points over his last 13 games makes for decent production from a shutdown defenseman. Overall, he's at nine points, 59 shots on net, 103 hits, 91 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 63 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken this season.

Fehervary scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked five shots in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Senators.

Fehervary has two multi-point efforts over his last six games, but he's been held off the scoresheet in the other four contests in that span. The 25-year-old is not a steady source of offense, instead filling a shutdown role on the Capitals' blue line. For the season, he has matched his career high from 2021-22 with 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) while adding 58 shots on net, 111 hits, 122 blocks and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances.

Jones fired three shots on goal, blocked two shots and provided a hit during his Florida debut in Monday's 2-1 win against Tampa Bay.

While Jones was held off the scoresheet in his first game with the Panthers, he posted a solid performance on both sides of the ice. He saw 22:56 TOI in a top-four pairing with Niko Mikkola. The 30-year-old Jones has 27 points, 84 shots on net and 85 blocks in 43 games this season. The newly-acquired blueliner from Chicago is capable of quarterbacking a power-play unit and has 15 points with the man advantage this season. However, Florida elected to stick with veteran Aaron Ekblad as their top power-play option on the blueline in Jones' debut. Until Ekblad shows signs of struggling on the power play, we may see Jones as a secondary option with a man advantage. Regardless, Jones should see an uptick in fantasy value now that he's playing alongside the reigning champs.
