Detroit Red Wings forward Alex DeBrincat scored and added an assist in Monday afternoon's win versus the Nashville Predators. Halfway through the second period, DeBrincat assisted on Lucas Raymond's 20th goal of the year, and then with 28 seconds left in the game, he scored an empty-net goal to make it 4-2. DeBrincat now has 31 goals and 29 assists on the campaign, and he is leading the Red Wings in scoring.

Columbus Blue Jackets right winger Kirill Marchenko scored twice and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the New York Rangers. His first goal came on the power play with 4:28 left in the first period, and the second one was the game-winning goal in overtime. Marchenko now has 23 goals and 27 assists for 50 total points in the 2025-26 season. He will continue to provide top-100 value for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore (illness) will miss Monday's contest against the Colorado Avalanche. He will exit the lineup due to illness after contributing an assist in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Calgary Flames. Overall, Moore has recorded seven goals and nine assists in 47 games this season. With Moore unavailable, Kenny Connors will make his NHL debut. During his first pro year, Connors has amassed nine goals and 20 assists in 49 AHL appearances. He is expected to skate with Warren Foegele and Corey Perry on the third line.

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) will remain out on Monday against Colorado but could return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders. Doughty sustained a lower-body injury last week and will miss a second straight game on Monday. The veteran rearguard leads the Kings in average ice time at 22:48 in 50 games. Yet Doughty has struggled to make an impact offensively, posting 14 points (three goals, 11 assists). In Doughty's absence on Saturday against Calgary, Cody Ceci enjoyed increased ice time, while Jacob Moverare slotted into the lineup.
