Logan Stanley to Sit Out One Game With Suspension
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Logan Stanley has been suspended for one game for roughing Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk during Saturday's 4-2 loss. As a result, Stanley will miss Tuesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, marking his first absence of the season. He has had a career year offensively, producing 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in 40 appearances. Without the puck, Stanley has logged 43 blocks and 67 hits, giving him fantasy value in some formats. Luke Schenn or Haydn Fleury will take Stanley's spot in the lineup on Tuesday night

Sean Monahan Expected to Return Tuesday
Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. Due to an unspecified injury, the veteran forward skipped a fourth consecutive game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Monahan has been banged up all season, severely limiting his impact. Over his last 20 appearances, Monahan has landed on the score sheet only six times. He boasts 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in 37 games for the season. Charlie Coyle and Cole Sillinger have shared the second-line center role during Monahan's absence. He will probably reclaim the spot on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks.

Alexander Wennberg Lands Three-Year Extension
San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg extended his contract on Sunday, earning a three-year, $18 million deal. Right now, he is in the midst of Year 2 on a two-year, $10 million contract. The Swedish veteran has been a good pickup for San Jose, recording 61 points (17 goals, 44 assists) in 118 appearances with the team. This season, Wennberg is tied for second on the roster with 19 assists and has added seven goals in 41 games. After an impressive 13-point month in December, Wennberg opened January with a scoreless performance in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

John Beecher Handed One-Game Suspension
Calgary Flames center John Beecher (upper body) was suspended for one game on Sunday for roughing Nashville Predators forward Michael McCarron during Saturday's loss. In the game, Beecher received a minor penalty for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct, and on Sunday, the NHL Department of Player Safety issued further discipline. Beecher finished Saturday night with 17 penalty minutes in total and left the game with an upper-body injury. As a result, the fourth-line center may have missed Monday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken regardless. The Flames are likely to use Justin Kirkland as Beecher's replacement in the lineup.
