Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho set up Jalen Chatfield for the team's second goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Calgary. In his 10th outing of the campaign, Aho already posted his eighth assist. The Finnish forward has complemented his playmaking ability with six goals. He's one of five players with at least six goals and eight assists this season. Aho has been a point-per-game player five times in his career and looks as sharp as ever in 2026-27. He will look to build on his success on Tuesday against a weak Vancouver defense.

Calgary Flames center Morgan Frost marked his 400th career game with a multi-point effort in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. He scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist. After a bad start to the year, Frost has averaged a point per game over his last four outings. He has three goals and five points in eight games this season. Although Frost has upped his offensive performance lately, he faces a very tough matchup next against the Minnesota Wild, who hold the league's fifth-best defensive record.

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov maintained his hot goal-scoring form in Sunday's clash against Columbus, netting his 10th goal of the season in a 2-1 win. Kaprizov potted the game-winning goal on the power play early in the second period. It's been a special start to the season for Kaprizov, who made history as the first Wild player to reach 10 goals before anyone else in the NHL. He's also had five assists in nine games. Tuesday's matchup with Edmonton will give Kaprizov a chance to record his first four-game goal streak since November 2025.

St. Louis Blues left wing Ross Johnston (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve Sunday. The veteran forward missed Saturday's loss to Nashville due to a lower-body injury. With him moved to Injured Reserve, the Blues expect to be without Johnston for multiple games. The team will primarily miss Johnston's physical presence, as he's averaging 4.5 hits per game this season. Offensively, he has recorded one assist in six appearances. Defenseman Theo Lindstein replaced Johnston in the lineup over the weekend as the Blues opted for 11 forwards.
