Nikita Zadorov - Status in question for Monday Zadorov sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens, and his status for Monday's road game against the Rangers has yet to be determined, Kevin Paul Dupon...

Impact Zadorov was unable to practice Sunday due to his ankle injury. The left-shot blueliner can be considered questionable for Monday's matchup in Manhattan. If Zadorov is unable to suit up against the Rangers, Henri Jokiharju will draw back into the lineup.

Jake Evans - Gets first helper since return Evans logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Evans picked up his first point in four games since returning from a lower-body injury. He missed 13 contests with the issue, and he's retaken a third-line spot. The 29-year-old has 11 points, 38 shots on net, 45 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 38 appearances this season.

Nick Suzuki - Plates two apples Saturday Suzuki supplied two assists in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Suzuki extended his point streak to five games Saturday with a pair of power-play assists to help Cole Caufield secure his hat trick in the second period. With the helpers, Suzuki is up to 43 assists, 59 points, 111 shots on net, 40 hits and 44 blocks through 52 games this season. During his five-game point streak, he has recorded two points in four of the five outings. At 43 assists, he is currently tied for ninth across the NHL and remains one of the league's best playmakers. Suzuki's all-around play style gives him an added boost in fantasy, giving him elite value moving forward.

Cole Caufield - Scores hat trick in loss Caufield scored three goals and fired six shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

Impact Caufield tallied the lone goal of the first period before he struck the back of the net twice in the second on two separate power plays. Overall, the 25-year-old winger has 29 goals, 53 points, 155 shots on goal and 35 hits through 52 games this season. He is currently on a five-game goal streak and has eight goals in that span. The young winger is well on his way to another career year and sits just 17 points shy of the 70 he totaled in 82 regular-season games a season ago. Caufield's rise to stardom gives him high-level fantasy value for the rest of the season.

Charlie McAvoy - Hat trick of helpers Saturday McAvoy dished out three assists, blocked two shots and recorded two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact McAvoy played a hand in each of the final three goals scored by the Bruins, including when he slid the primary helper on Morgan Geekie's go-ahead goal in the back half of the third period. Overall, McAvoy is up to 29 assists, 33 points, 58 shots on goal, 52 hits and 78 blocks across 40 games this season. Since Dec. 31, the 28-year-old blueliner is tied for sixth among NHL defensemen with 14 points. He also ranks in the top 15 in blocked shots with 26. Boston's top blueliner remains a category-coverage machine when it comes to fantasy, giving McAvoy elite value down the stretch in most league formats.
