Emberson logged an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Emberson has three helpers over 11 outings in January, matching his output for all of December. The 24-year-old defenseman doesn't get a lot of chances to chip in from the third pairing, but he's been in the lineup steadily since late October. Emberson has eight assists, 38 shots on net, 70 hits, 62 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 46 games.

Ekholm notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Ekholm set up an Adam Henrique tally in the first period, which ended up being the game-winner. This was Ekholm's second helper over 11 contests in January, which has been a fairly quiet month for the defenseman, though not as bad as his November (one assist in 13 games). Overall, Ekholm's at 19 points, 108 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 32 hits and a plus-17 rating through 48 appearances.

Bouchard notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Bouchard helped out on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tally in the second period. The 25-year-old Bouchard was held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests, but he racked up 10 points over 10 games before that, so he's been locked in lately. For the season, the defenseman is at eight goals, 28 helpers, 12 power-play points, 133 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 48 outings.

Schneider scored a goal Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Flyers.

It was a bit of a fluke, but a goal is a goal. Schneider tied the game 1-1 at 9:00 of the first period when his attempted pass to Reilly Smith hit Egor Zamula's stick and went in. He snapped a 43-game goal slump. Schneider has a point in each of his last two games, but his fantasy value is limited. He has just 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) and 65 shots in 48 games, but he does offer hits (79) and blocks (84).

Fox had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.

His goal was a short-handed empty-net tally at 16:53 of the third. Fox is riding a three-game, multi-point streak (one goal, five assists), and he sits sixth in scoring from the blue line with 40 points, including 37 assists, in 48 games this season. Fox has been a big part of the Rangers' recent resurgence -- they've now picked up at least a point in 10 games.

Miller had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Flyers.

Miller, who is more of a shutdown guy, is on a surprising three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). He's on pace for triple digits in both hits and blocks, so adding a bit of offense certainly gives him a short-term boost. Miller has three goals and eight assists in 42 games.

Seider had two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-2 win over Montreal. He also had two shots, two blocks, three hits and two PIM.

The 23-year-old had secondary helpers on goals by Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin (on the power play), marking Seider's eighth multi-point effort of the season. The two helpers raised his season total to 26, which ranks fourth on the Red Wings.

Guhle scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and had one hit in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Guhle's wrist shot from the point looked harmless, but it worked its way through several bodies and past Cam Talbot. It was the defenseman's fourth goal of the season and first in eight outings.

Jensen (undisclosed) did not finish Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Jensen took a handful of short shifts in the third period but retreated to the locker room and didn't return. The 34-year-old defenseman's status was not updated after the contest. That leaves him questionable to play Saturday against the Maple Leafs -- if he can't go, either Jake Sanderson (lower body) will draw back in or the Senators will need to make a roster move for a blueliner.

Mateychuk (illness) won't play Thursday versus Carolina.

Mateychuk is set to miss his third straight game. He has a goal and three points in 12 appearances in 2024-25. His next chance to return to the lineup will come Saturday against Los Angeles.
