Marchment tallied a goal, put four shots on net and dished out four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Marchment continued his success in Columbus with the first tally of the second period to extend the Blue Jackets' lead. Since he was traded to Columbus from Seattle on Dec. 19, the 30-year-old left winger has 10 goals and 16 points in 16 games. While his overall point pace is behind the necessary pace to match his 47 points in 62 regular-season games from a year ago, he has completely revamped his game with the Blue Jackets. Marchment is a strong fantasy option in most standard leagues for the remainder of the season.

Kulikov (upper body) was removed from long-term injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Following a 57-game absence, Kulikov appears to be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Islanders. The Panthers moved Cole Schwindt (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kulikov had four goals, 13 points, 64 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and 114 hits in 70 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Lundestrom scored a goal, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Lundestrom put the Blue Jackets on the scoreboard with the lone tally of Saturday's first period. The twine finder brought him up to three goals, eight points, 36 shots on net, 22 hits and 20 blocks across 44 games this season. While he remains off the fantasy radar, he has noteworthily been more consistent in 2026 with two goals and three points across nine games.

Barzal dished out two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.

Barzal recorded an apple on each of the Islanders' final two goals Saturday, including Simon Holmstrom's game-winning tally in overtime. With the pair of helpers, Barzal is up to 37 assists, 54 points, 125 shots on net and 36 blocked shots across 59 games this season. The 28-year-old forward extended his point streak to six games (four goals, six assists). He remains a strong fantasy option in all formats while leading the Islanders offensively in their hopes to claim a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division.

Schwindt (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Schwindt is out indefinitely after getting injured in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto. He has contributed three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, eight blocked shots and 25 hits across 22 appearances this season.

Binnington turned aside 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Devils, with New Jersey's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

After stellar showing at the Olympics for Team Canada en route to a silver medal, Binnington returned to the St. Louis crease and immediately resumed his NHL losing streak, which now stands at eight games. During that tailspin, the veteran netminder has labored under a 4.19 GAA and .844 save percentage. With his strong international performance serving as a reminder of what a motivated Binnington can do, a trade to a playoff contender might be the only lifeline he has available to salvage his 2025-26 season.

Hamilton scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Blues.

The veteran blueliner gave the Devils a 2-0 lead with 16 seconds left in the second period as he ripped a shot from the high slot past Jordan Binnington. Hamilton has put a sluggish start to the campaign well behind him, and over the last 15 games, he's collected three goals and 13 points, including six points (two goals, four assists) with the man advantage.

Markstrom stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Markstrom spoiled it himself by getting greedy -- he tried to go for the open St. Louis net with less than 90 seconds left, but his shot didn't get past Pavel Buchnevich, who eventually scored after Pius Suter retrieved the loose puck. Markstrom has given up three goals or fewer in eight of his last 10 starts, going 6-4-0 over that stretch with a 2.40 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Fabbri has been placed on waivers and designated a non-roster player, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Sunday.

The return of Robert Thomas (leg) from injured reserve means that someone had to clear the roster logjam. That was Fabbri, desginated a non-roster player and likely headed for AHL Springfield, if he clears waivers. The 30-year-old has appeared in 15 games with the Blues, notching a goal and three assists in those contests.

Silovs will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Sunday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers. The 24-year-old Silovs has won his last two outings while allowing only three goals on 57 shots. He has a 12-7-8 record this season with a 2.86 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 27 appearances. Vegas is tied for eighth in the league with 3.36 goals per game this campaign.
