Sillinger is dealing with an illness and isn't in the lineup for Monday's road game versus the Oilers, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

EDGE Analysis

Sillinger will miss his first game of the season Monday. Miles Wood (illness) is also unavailable in Edmonton, so Zach Aston-Reese and Isac Lundestrom will suit up and skate in fourth-line roles. Sillinger's next chance to return to game action will be in the second half of a back-to-back in Seattle on Tuesday.

Wood won't play in Edmonton on Monday due to an illness, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wood and Cole Sillinger (illness) are both under the weather, so Zach Aston-Reese and Isac Lundestrom will draw into Monday's lineup. Columbus will play in the second half of a back-to-back in Seattle on Tuesday, so Wood should be considered questionable for that contest, at best.

Spacek was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Spacek will provide depth on Minnesota's blue line since Jake Middleton is dealing with an illness, and it's unclear if the latter will be ready for Tuesday's home game against the Sharks. Spacek, a fifth-round pick in 2022, has yet to make his NHL debut. The right-shot defenseman has six helpers and a minus-1 rating across 12 appearances with the minor-league squad this year.

Brown (upper body) won't suit up Monday against the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Brown will miss his fifth consecutive game Monday. He last played in San Jose on Oct. 30. It's unclear when he'll return to the lineup, but his next opportunity to do so will come in Chicago on Wednesday.

Wilsby (lower body) is in the lineup for Monday's road matchup versus the Rangers, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Wilsby will return to game action Monday following a six-game absence. The 25-year-old will skate beside Spencer Stastney on the third pairing against the Rangers.

Saros will be between the road pipes against the Rangers on Monday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Saros is 1-3-1 over his last five appearances, allowing 16 goals on 144 shots during that stretch (.889 save percentage). The 30-year-old holds a 5-4-1 record, .940 save percentage and 1.76 GAA across 11 career outings against the Rangers. New York is 4-2-0 in its last six games.

Markstrom will patrol the home crease Monday versus the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom has won back-to-back games after allowing eight goals in his return from a lower-body injury against Colorado on Oct. 28. The Swedish netminder has a 4-2-0 record, 3.95 GAA and .871 save percentage across six appearances this season. The Islanders are coming off a 5-0 win over the Rangers on Saturday and rank ninth in the NHL with 3.33 goals per game in 2025-26.

Novak scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Novak opened the scoring at 8:48 of the first period. This was just his second goal of the year, though he produced a decent four assists over nine contests between tallies. The 28-year-old is up to seven points, 22 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role.

Mantha scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Mantha gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead in the second period, but it didn't last. He's scored in two of the last three games but has just three shots on net in that span. For the season, the winger is putting together a strong bounce-back campaign with eight goals, five assists, 30 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 17 appearances.

Knies notched two assists, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Knies saw a six-game point streak ended versus the Bruins on Saturday, but he bounced back quickly. The 23-year-old winger continues to bring both scoring and physical play in a top-six role this season. He's up to five goals, 15 helpers, 33 shots on net, 40 hits, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating across 16 appearances. He had a career-high 58 points in 78 regular-season outings in 2024-25, but he should shatter that mark if he stays on his current pace.
