Khusnutdinov scored a goal in regulation and the winner in the shootout in a 4-3 victory over the Islanders on Tuesday.

Late in the third, Khusnutdinov came off the wall, picked up a rebound and backhanded the game-tying goal past Ilya Sorokin as he was falling. He has two goals in three games while skating with elite wingman, David Pastrnak. The top-line gig will disappear when Elias Lindholm (lower body) returns, but right now he's week-to-week. Khusnutdinov is a smart pickup right now.

Horvat scored two goals in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston on Tuesday.

Horvat's nine goals this season put him on the NHL's top-10 snipers list. Yes, the top 10. Horvat has three 30-plus goal seasons, including a career-high 38 in 2022-23. His career mark in points (70) also came that season. Horvat has 15 points and 45 shots in 13 games this season -- that puts him on a career pace for goals (57), assists (95) and shots (283). Can he sustain it? Probably not, but he could still break his career mark, and there's plenty of value in that.

Sissons (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Sissons will return to a fourth-line role after a two-game absence. He has one assist through nine appearances this season while averaging 11:06 of ice time.

Faksa (undisclosed) won't play against Edmonton on Tuesday, according to Stars reporter Robert Tiffin.

Faksa will miss at least one game, forcing the Stars to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Tuesday's contest. He has earned one goal, three assists, five shots on net, nine blocked shots and 22 hits across 12 appearances this season. Due to Faksa's absence, Kyle Capobianco will play against the Oilers.

Acciari (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Pittsburgh recalled Danton Heinen from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move. Acciari will miss at least the next three games, beginning with Thursday's matchup against Washington, after being hurt in Monday's 4-3 loss to Toronto. However, it is unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has contributed three assists, 11 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and 18 hits in 13 appearances this season.

Heinen was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

The Penguins are dealing with a number of injuries up front, and Heinen will help replenish the team's depth. He can be expected to contend for bottom-six minutes while with the big club.

Arvidsson scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

He has two goals in his last two games, and four in his last six. After putting up just one assist in his first seven contest, Arvidsson has six points (four goals, two assists) and 23 shots in his last eight games. He's had a couple of rough seasons of late, but he did deliver 59 points, including 26 goals, in 77 games in 2022-23. The Bruins would be more than happy with that kind of output from Arvidsson this year.

Brazeau (upper body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday.

Brazeau will miss his third straight game against Washington on Thursday, and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 12 points, 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 17 hits through 12 appearances this season. Due to Brazeu's absence, Philip Tomasino has been skating on Pittsburgh's second line.

Eklund (lower body) won't play against Seattle on Wednesday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Eklund remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has generated five goals, 11 points, 31 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and eight hits across 12 appearances this season. Adam Gaudette (upper body) participated in Tuesday's practice and could replace Eklund in the top six versus the Kraken on Wednesday.

Kravtsov is slated to sign a three-year deal with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL, per Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK on Tuesday.

Kravtsov was put on unconditional waivers by Vancouver earlier Tuesday for the purpose of contract termination, and it didn't take long for him to link up with the team he played for in Russia in recent years. The No. 9 overall pick in 2018 accounted for one goal, four points and a minus-7 rating over 10 appearances with AHL Abbotsford this season. Kravtsov recorded 27 goals and 58 points across 66 regular-season games with Traktor in 2024-25, so he should have more success overseas.

Haula scored a power-play goal on three shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Haula's offense is heating up again with four points, including two on the power play, over his last four games. He opened the season on a four-game point streak but followed it up with six scoreless outings. The 34-year-old has three goals, five helpers, 18 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 14 contests this season while filling a middle-six role with power-play time.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on six shots and added two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

DeBrusk ended a four-game point drought with his tally. All three of his goals this season have come with the man advantage. It hasn't led to more consistent offense overall for the winger, but the Canucks myriad of injuries have kept him firmly in a top-six role so far. The 29-year-old is at five points, 42 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 14 appearances.

Gudas (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

This will be Gudas' fifth straight absence. It's unclear if he'll be available for the Ducks' upcoming two-game road trip with stops in Dallas on Thursday and Vegas on Saturday. Ian Moore remains in the lineup on the third pairing while Gudas recovers.

Wilsby (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Minnesota on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Wilsby remains day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. It's unclear when he will receive the green light to return to the lineup. He has recorded two assists, 11 shots on goal, seven blocked shots, four hits and 10 PIM across 11 appearances this season.

Pickering was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh recalled Ryan Graves from the minors in a corresponding move. Pickering hasn't earned a point in four NHL outings this season while supplying one shot on goal, two blocked shots and one hit. He has one goal and three assists in seven AHL appearances this campaign.

Graves was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Graves was called up while Owen Pickering was sent down to the minor-league team in a corresponding move. With injuries stacking up around the Penguins' roster, it appears they want to take a more veteran approach to their lineup for a while. Graves will contend for third-pairing minutes in the NHL while Pickering takes on a large role on the farm.

Hanifin (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Hanifin appears poised to return to the lineup against Detroit on Tuesday after missing the last 10 games. He logged 24:00 of ice time, earning three shots on goal and two hits, in Vegas' season-opening 6-5 shootout loss to the Kings on Oct. 8 before the injury.

Leddy (upper body) participated in Tuesday's practice, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Leddy will accompany the Sharks to Seattle ahead of Wednesday's game, but a return to the lineup is unlikely. Mario Ferraro skipped Tuesday's session for maintenance, giving San Jose eight healthy blueliners on the roster. Still, Leddy appears to be nearing a return after missing the last six games.

Kuemper will guard the home goal versus the Jets on Tuesday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Kuemper has allowed nine goals on 88 shots while going 1-1-1 over his last three games. The 35-year-old will make a fourth consecutive start, his longest run between the pipes so far in 2025-26. The Jets are averaging 3.75 goals per game, best in the NHL, which will make this a tough matchup for Kuemper.

Hellebuyck will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Tuesday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Hellebuyck has allowed exactly three goals in three straight games, but he's come away with wins in each of his last two starts. The 32-year-old netminder will look to keep his success rolling against the Kings, who have averaged a poor 2.77 goals per game so far in 2025-26.

Oettinger will be the backup netminder for Casey DeSmith in the Stars' home game versus the Oilers on Tuesday.

Oettinger was away from the team Monday to attend the birth of his child. However, he has since rejoined the Stars and will be in uniform Tuesday. Expect Oettinger to be back between the pipes as soon as Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

Vasilevskiy is projected to start on the road versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate Tuesday, putting him in line for the start. The 31-year-old rattled off three straight wins prior to getting a rest Sunday versus the Mammoth. He'll look to keep his momentum going in a tough matchup versus the Avalanche, who have averaged 3.62 goals per game.

Jarry (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Pittsburgh recalled Sergei Murashov from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move. Jarry stopped 16 shots in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday. As a result of moving to the IR list, he will be out of action for at least the next three games, starting with Thursday's home matchup against Washington. He has posted a 5-2-0 record this season while surrendering 18 goals on 202 shots. Arturs Silovs will probably see the majority of the starts for the Penguins during Jarry's absence.

Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road versus the Ducks on Tuesday.

Bobrovsky has given up three or more goals in four of his last five outings, while posting a 3-2-0 record and a 2.79 GAA. Even with a capable backup behind him in Daniil Tarasov, fantasy managers should continue to expect Bobrovsky to reach the 50-game mark for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons.
