Greenway (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Greenway should return to the lineup versus Detroit on Monday after missing the last 10 games due to a mid-body injury. He has registered three goals, six points, 20 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 40 hits through 16 appearances this campaign. After alternating line drills with Greenway during Sunday's practice, John-Jason Peterka might be the odd man out of the lineup.

Whitecloud (upper body) is expected to suit up at some point during the Golden Knights' three-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Monday.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy didn't specify which game might work for Whitecloud's return to action, only indicating that it is expected at some point during the trip. Prior to his seven-game absence due to his upper-body problem, the 28-year-old blueliner was struggling to produce in the offensive end with just one point in his last 20 outings. Once cleared to play, Whitecloud figures to supplant Kaedan Korczak for a spot on the third defensive pairing.

Dahlin (back) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Dahlin went through a rehab skate with no issues and could return to game action Saturday against the Capitals or Sunday against the Maple Leafs. The defenseman has been dealing with back spasms since Buffalo's Dec. 3 matchup against the Avalanche, and he could still be in the mix to be activated over the weekend. However, Dahlin's move to injured reserve allowed the Sabres to activate Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) ahead of Monday's game against the Red Wings.

Lauko (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Utah, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Lauko will occupy a bottom-six role after missing the last six games. He has contributed two goals, two assists, 18 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 41 hits across 21 appearances this season. Lauko will likely replace Reese Johnson in Tuesday's lineup.

DeMelo's point drought reached 13 games in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

DeMelo has also been under 20 minutes of ice time in two of the last three games -- the only other time that's happened this year was in a blowout win Opening Night versus the Oilers. The 31-year-old remains firmly in the Jets' top four, but the lack of offense hinders what little fantasy value he has. Overall, he's at three assists, 25 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 29 appearances. He topped the 30-point mark with three goals, 28 assists and a career-best plus-46 rating in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, so this downturn on offense is disappointing.

Provorov logged an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Provorov ultimately played after being a game-time call with an upper-body injury, which was likely a thumb or hand issue. He saw 23:07 of ice time after exiting Friday's contest early, so it appears whatever the injury is, it's something he can play through for now. Provorov is up to 10 points, 35 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 27 outings in a top-four role this season.

Monahan posted an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Monahan set up the first of Kent Johnson's two goals in the third period, with that tally standing as the game-winner. The assist snapped a three-game slump for Monahan -- that's just his third drought of more than one game this season. The center is up to eight tallies, 15 helpers, 71 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 27 appearances.

Kuraly scored an empty-net goal on two shots and doled out eight hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Kuraly ended an 11-game goal drought, a span in which he had just one assist, with the empty-netter to seal this win. The 31-year-old is holding down a fourth-line role, though the Blue Jackets' surprisingly strong depth down the middle has temporarily pushed him to the wing. Kuraly has seven points, 24 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-4 rating through 27 appearances.

Smith, Mackenzie Blackwood and a 2027 fifth-round pick were traded from the Sharks to the Avalanche on Monday in exchange for Alexandar Georgiev, Nikolai Kovalenko, a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2026 second-round pick.

Smith was waived by the Sharks on Sunday and will have a change of scenery after clearing waivers Monday. The 26-year-old has made six appearances for San Jose this year, logging seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while averaging 6:17 of ice time. It appears as though he'll report to the NHL club following the trade, and he could compete for bottom-six minutes.

San Jose acquired Georgiev, Nikolai Kovalenko, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round selection from Colorado on Monday in exchange for Mackenzie Blackwood, Givani Smith and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice.

Georgiev has posted a record of 8-7-0 with a 3.38 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. If Georgiev continues to struggle with the Sharks, he could get pushed for playing time by Vitek Vanecek.
