Line Change
Tverberg is expected to make his season debut vs. Colorado on Tuesday.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start vs. Colorado on Tuesday.
Rielly (lower-body) is still considered day-to-day.
Sissons (lower-body) is out week-to-week.
Goalie Start
Daws is in the starter's crease at Winnipeg's morning skate.
Daws hasn't seen much action since being acquired by the Winnipeg Jets in a trade nearly three weeks ago, starting just a single game where he allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. Winnipeg's crease remains uncertain, and if Daws can string together some solid outings, he can earn himself an increased workload. The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as +132 home underdogs against Daws' former team, the New Jersey Devils, who are riding a five-game winning streak.
Point (undisclosed) has been placed on IR.
Point played only 5:35 time-on-ice in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. Following the game, Head Coach Jon Cooper was hopeful that Point's injury was not severe, but suggested that he could "miss some time," which was reaffirmed when he was placed on IR on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Point was starting to heat up before his injury, scoring 10 points (4G / 6A) during a seven-game point streak.
O'Reilly has been recalled from Syracuse (AHL).
With Brayden Point (undisclosed) on IR, Tampa Bay has recalled O'Reilly from Syracuse (AHL). The 20-year-old O'Reilly is in his first professional season and has four points (2G / 2A) in 12 games with Syracuse.
Tverberg has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Lettieri has been reassigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL).
Parsons has been recalled from Belleville (AHL).
Goalie Start
Sorokin will start in San Jose on Monday.
Bunting is expected to return to the lineup on Monday.
Knuble is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Goalie Start
Woll will start in Vancouver on Monday.
Goalie Start
Merilainen will start vs. Philadelphia on Monday.
Manson (ankle) has been placed on LTIR.
Fiala (lower-body) has a chance to return vs. Nashville on Tuesday.
Fiala has yet to play this season, recovering from an injury from the Winter Olympics in February, but was a full participant at practice on Monday. Head Coach Peter Laviolette wouldn't commit to Fiala's readiness, aside from saying that he is "making progress towards a return." The 30-year-old forward tallied 18 goals, 40 points, and 147 SOG in 56 games last season.
Guenther (maintenance) missed practice on Monday and is questionable for Wednesday vs. Vegas.
Head Coach Andre Tourigny said Guenther was "banged up" in Utah's previous game, but insisted his absence from practice was more of maintenance. The 23-year-old Guenther had a career-high 73 points (40G / 33A) in 79 games last season, but has not had the same offensive touch to start 2026-27, with just 12 points (6G / 6A) through 18 games.
Holl has been recalled from Hershey (AHL).
Holl had a brief stint with the Capitals earlier this season and scored two goals in three games. That said, 34-year-old defenseman, a veteran of 408 NHL games, has spent most of the past two seasons in the AHL.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
