Stevenson stopped 13 of 15 shots in Sunday's 7-0 loss to the Hurricanes after replacing Stuart Skinner midway through the second period.

Stevenson entered with Winnipeg trailing 5-0 and surrendered two third-period goals, including a power-play tally by Mark Jankowski. Stevenson carries considerable fantasy risk any time he starts, given the Jets' defensive struggles this season. The 27-year-old netminder has gone 1-3-0 with a 3.61 GAA and an .870 save percentage in his five appearances this season.

Brazeau (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Brazeau had one assist and one shot on net during his two-game conditioning loan in the minors. While his availability for Tuesday's game against Vegas is unclear, he is likely close to making his NHL season debut after suffering a lower-body injury during the preseason.

Bump was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Bump spent the past two weeks with the NHL club, and he was held scoreless with nine hits and two blocked shots while averaging 13:39 of ice time across five appearances during his stint with the Flyers. However, he was a healthy scratch for Sunday's win over Utah and will head back to the minors a day later, where he should have more consistent opportunities for playing time.

Kochetkov stopped all 26 shots he faced in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.

Kochetkov recorded his second shutout of the season and extended his season-opening winning streak to 10 games, establishing a Hurricanes franchise record. He also became just the third goaltender in NHL history to win each of his first 10 appearances in a season. With Carolina playing outstanding hockey and providing substantial offensive support, Kochetkov has established himself as an elite fantasy option. Aside from the 10-game winning run, Kochetkov owns a 1.49 GAA and .929 save percentage to open the campaign.

Jankowski scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.

Jankowski extended Carolina's lead to 6-0 early in the third period, converting a power-play opportunity for his eighth goal of the season. The veteran has scored in eight of his last nine appearances, with the lone instance it didn't happen being the game in which he returned from a four-game absence following a lower-body injury. His current finishing pace makes him an intriguing short-term fantasy option, although sustaining that production could prove difficult as long as he still has a middle-six role in the lineup.

Stankoven scored a goal on three shots and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.

Stankoven assisted on Juuso Valimaki's second-period goal before scoring his 10th of the season to chase Stuart Skinner from the contest. Stankoven wasn't done, though, and he later contributed a power-play assist on Mark Jankowski's third-period tally. Stankoven has been on a tear of late and has cracked the scoresheet in five of the Hurricanes' last six games, tallying nine points (six goals, three assists) in that span.

Aho scored a power-play goal on one shot and added an even-strength assist in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.

Aho assisted on Sean Walker's shorthanded opener before converting a feed from Andrei Svechnikov early in the second period. The center reached nine goals this season and recorded his 186th career multipoint game, tying Eric Staal for second in franchise history. Aho's prominent offensive responsibilities and consistent power-play involvement continue to make him a dependable high-end fantasy contributor across all formats, and he's also in a good run of form since he has three multi-point games in his last five contests.

Walker scored two goals, including a shorthanded one, on five shots in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.

Walker opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal in the first period before adding his second tally midway through the second. The defenseman doubled his season goal total to three while recording his first two-goal game with Carolina. Although Walker's offensive production is typically limited, this performance highlights his ability to contribute occasional scoring bursts, making him worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats. Don't expect consistency in the scoring column from Walker, though -- he has cracked the scoresheet in just five of his 16 appearances so far this season.

Sanderson notched two assists and two PIM in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Ducks.

Sanderson has five helpers over four games on the Senators' road trip, which ends Wednesday in Buffalo. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to four multi-point efforts in eight games this season. He has a goal, nine assists, 14 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-pairing minutes.

Tomasino scored a goal in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Ducks.

Tomasino had the Senators' opening goal in this contest. He's earned two points, three shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over two games since he was called up to fill in for Andre Burakovsky (lower body) in the lineup. Tomasino is currently in a second-line role at even strength, giving him some potential to produce decent offense. That said, fantasy managers can wait and see if he sticks around and stays productive for the long run.
