J. Hughes - F

New Jersey GM Tom Fitzgerald has informed USA Hockey that Jack Hughes won't be available for the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship.

Team USA was interested in adding Hughes, but it's not surprising that he won't be released for the tournament. He wasn't even among the names that USA Hockey released when the team's preliminary camp roster was unveiled earlier this week. The 19-year-old forward had seven goals and 21 points in 61 matches for the Devils during his rookie season in 2019-20. Hughes is expected to take a step forward in his sophomore campaign.

T. Thompson - F

BUF

Tage Thompson was on the third line in practice with Cody Eakin and Tobias Rieder.

Thompson started the season on the Sabres first line with Jack Eichel and Taylor Hall but that lasted only one game. He has lost all his fantasy value.

C. Mittelstadt - F

BUF

Casey Mittelstadt practiced on the top line with Jack Eichel and Taylor Hall on Sunday.

Well that's going from the basement to the penthouse as Mittelstadt is currently sitting on the taxi squad. He replaced the injured Sam Reinhart Sunday and while Reinhart travelled with the Sabres to Philadelpgia for Monday's tilt with the Flyers, he will be a game-time decision. Mittelstadt was taken eighth overall in 2017 but has been a huge disappointment ever since.

N/A

K. Yandle - D

FLA

Keith Yandle scored a goal in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Yandle also contributed with a plus-2 rating, three shots on goal and a minor penalty in 16:41 of ice time across 21 shifts. He was used on the bottom group of defenders, but his streak of consecutive games is now intact at 867. There were reports he had fallen out of favor with the team and wasn't skating with the main group until recently, putting his streak into jeopardy. If he keeps lighting the lamp, he'll certainly be back in the good graces of the organization. Fantasy owners in deeper pools are the only ones who need to be interested in his services, however.

N/A

P. Hornqvist - F

FLA

Patric Hornqvist posted a goal with an assist in his team debut in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Hornqvist finished with a plus-2 rating, three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a hit in his 14:17 of ice time across 17 shifts. The veteran jelled nicely with Jonathan Huberdeau, and he was one of three Panthers to post at least two points in the victory. The 34-year-old Swede is looking for a bounce back season after managing just 18 goals and 37 points last season in Pittsburgh, his lowest in a full season during his NHL career.

N/A

E. Luostarinen - F

FLA

Eetu Luostarinen registered a goal with an assist in Sunday's 5-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Luostarinen posted an assist with a minus-2 rating in his eight games last season for the Carolina Hurricanes. He was acquired from the Canes in the Vincent Trocheck trade last season, and he is paying instant dividends with his first multi-night game in the NHL. Despite the good start, he is simply a watch option or a stash option in deeper fantasy leagues with plenty of roster flexibility.

Added Yesterday 10:43 pm (EST)

N/A

J. Huberdeau - F

FLA

Jonathan Huberdeau posted a power-play goal with three points in Sunday's 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks defense and goaltenders were like a popular Chicago talk show host, saying, "You get a point, you get a point...everyone gets a point!" Huberdeau ended up with a plus-2 rating, a shot on goal, a minor penalty and a hit in 14:27 of ice time across 19 shifts. He was one of three Panthers with at least two points, and one of nine players to record at least one point. Fantasy owners in weekly pools will be glad to see the Blackhawks back in the building on Tuesday, and DFS players will want to take note, too.

N/A

D. Keith - D

CHI

Duncan Keith registered a pair of assists in Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Florida Panthers.

The good news is that Keith factored into all of his team's goals. The bad news is that his team had just two goals, he took a minus-2 rating and he ended up with one shot on goal and a blocked shot in his 25:14 of ice time across 29 shifts. He logged the most time amongst the Chicago rearguards, and he is really one of the only old guard defenders for the rebuilding Blackhawks. He has some fantasy appeal still, particularly in pools which do not penalize plus/minus rating.

Added Yesterday 10:20 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Murphy - D

CHI

Connor Murphy registered a goal in Sunday's 5-2 road setback against the Florida Panthers.

Murphy ended up with a minus-1 rating and a hit in his 22:36 of ice time and 28 shifts. His ice time was second-most amongst all Chicago rearguards. The goal was nice, but it's his only point through three games while taking a minus-2 rating. Murphy can mostly be avoided for fantasy purposes, as he'll top out with perhaps 20 points, but that will be accompanied by an awful plus/minus rating for the rebuilding Blackhawks.

Added Yesterday 10:16 pm (EST)

N/A

A. DeBrincat - LW

CHI

Alex DeBrincat registered a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-2 road loss against the Florida Panthers.

DeBrincat's goal was nice for fantasy owners, but he still ended up on the tough end of a minus-2 rating while posting four shots on goal, a minor penalty and a lost faceoff in his only chance over 21:11 of ice time across 23 shifts. Still, there weren't a lot of fantasy stars for the Blackhawks, who are looking like they might be one of the worst teams in the league in this rebuild year. The Blackhawks are back at it in Sunrise against the Panthers on Tuesday night.

Added Yesterday 10:10 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Delia - G

CHI

Connor Delia allowed five goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 5-2 road loss against the Florida Panthers.

Delia and Malcolm Subban are each struggling to keep the vulcanized rubber out of the back of the net, as the Blackhawks are allowing 5.0 goals per game through three outings. Delia allowed an unassisted goal to Aaron Ekblad just 12 seconds into the second period, but Chicago was able to scratch back to 2-2 early in the third. However, Delia allowed goals to Eetu Luostarinen, Patric Hornqvist and Jonathan Huberdeau to eat another L. These teams will square off again Tuesday at BB&T Center in Sunrise for the second end of the double dip, and Chicago will probably be using a different goaltender.

Added Yesterday 9:58 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Driedger - G

FLA

Chris Driedger allowed just two goals on 25 shots in Sunday's 5-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Driedger made the start in the team's regular-season opener with Sergei Bobrovsky missing most of training camp and deemed unfit to play. Samuel Montembeault actually backed up Driedger in this one, but obviously wasn't needed. He allowed a power-play goal to Alex DeBrincat in the second period, and Connor Murphy beat him early in the third to level the score 2-2. However, Eetu Luostarinen, Patric Hornqvist and Jonathan Huberdeau provided the goals to give Driedger a much-deserved win.

Added Yesterday 9:53 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Gunnarsson - D

STL

Carl Gunnarsson will be in the lineup for the first time this season on Monday night versus San Jose.

Gunnarsson will fill in for injured blueliner Robert Bortuzzo, who left Friday's game against Colorado due to an upper-body injury. "I'm happy to be back in," he said. "Left side, right side, doesn't matter. I feel bad for 'Bobbo.' It is what it is. I don't care if I'm on the left or right, just happy to be back in." Gunnarsson is slated to be paired with Vince Dunn.
