Philadelphia Flyers center Christian Dvorak tallied a game-high two points as the team recorded a 3-1 road win against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. The Flyers picked up only their fifth win of the season, with Dvorak contributing two assists. His passing ability helped Michael Bunting open the scoring just 2:03 into the game, and Dvorak earned a power-play assist as Travis Konecny lit the lamp early in the second period. Dvorak is one of only a few Flyers players who can be happy with their contribution in 2026-27. The 30-year-old has produced three goals and seven assists in 20 games, ranking third on the team in scoring.

San Jose Sharks winger Tyler Toffoli contributed a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-2 shootout victory over the New York Islanders. Having lost five consecutive games, the Sharks fell behind twice, but Toffoli's quality helped them return to winning ways. The veteran forward had a hand in two goals despite logging just 10:57 of ice time. The Sharks have limited Toffoli's playing time due to his poor form. Before Monday night, he had finished seven straight games without a point. Toffoli went ice-cold after a four-game point streak. San Jose will hope Toffoli returns to his early-season form. His overall numbers aren't bad, with 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 20 games.

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl found the back of the net twice as the team defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 on Monday night. Connor McDavid got the scoring started in the first period, and Draisaitl took things over with goals in the second and third frames. His second marker went down as a short-handed tally, scored into an empty net as the Rangers chased an equalizer. This was Draisaitl's fifth multi-point effort in his last six games. He leads the NHL with 18 goals and sits second with 36 points. The German superstar can post his second five-game goal streak of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the struggling Philadelphia Flyers.

St. Louis Blues defenseman Logan Mailloux (hand) was activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to make his season debut in Tuesday's clash against Detroit. The Blues started the campaign without Mailloux after he underwent hand surgery on Sept. 27. In 2025-26, Mailloux had a decent rookie season, finishing with 13 points (five goals, eight assists), 81 SOG, 56 blocks, and 93 hits. Since Mailloux has been dealing with a hand injury, he's been skating regularly and should be in a good spot physically despite his long absence. St. Louis appears to have big plans for him, as the 23-year-old is projected to work on the first defensive pairing against the Red Wings.
