Glass is being checked for an undisclosed injury, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports Wednesday.

Glass is currently mired in a seven-game pointless streak in addition to his 16-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 10 versus Colorado. If the winger were to miss out on Friday's matchup with Buffalo, Philip Tomasino figures to be elevated to a second-line role, while Jesse Puljujarvi will likely be called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if needed.

Ludvig was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Ludvig was claimed off waivers by the Avs from the Pens before the start of the 2024-25 campaign, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Pittsburgh put in a claim to try to get the 24-year-old blueliner back. In eight games with Colorado this year, the defenseman has notched two assists, 16 hits and nine shots while averaging 12:57 of ice time. Assuming Ludvig clears waivers, he figures to be sent down to AHL Colorado.

Barrie has not played in two months after being scratched for a 26th consecutive game Tuesday versus the Blues.

The Flames have carried eight defensemen for the bulk of the season, but head coach Ryan Huska hasn't given Barrie a game-day assignment since Nov. 12 versus the Canucks. Barrie is likely at the bottom of the depth chart, as Daniil Miromanov is more probable to get back in the lineup if an opportunity arises. The 33-year-old Barrie has two points and 12 shots on net through nine appearances in 2024-25.

Cholowski has gone six games without a point after Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Senators.

Alexander Romanov's upper-body injury has opened the door for Cholowski to play again after a six-game stint as a healthy scratch. Prior to that stretch, he had seen a healthy share of ice time, but he's topped 15 minutes just once in his last four outings while filling a spot on the third pairing. Cholowski has eight points, 23 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 27 appearances. He could lose his place in the lineup and possibly also his roster spot once the Islanders' blue line is fully healthy, but that won't happen until Mike Reilly (chest) is able to return, which isn't expected to happen until after the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Gaudette scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.

Gaudette could have had two tallies in the contest, but the Islanders won a challenge the first time he put the puck in the net. He scored officially at 8:42 of the second period ending a 15-game point drought in which he logged just three assists. The 28-year-old has done enough to stay in the lineup, but his ice time remains limited despite him being listed on the second line. He's at 14 goals, 19 points, 52 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-7 rating through 42 appearances.

MacDermid logged a season-high four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

MacDermid has a short-term path to playing time while Stefan Noesen (illness) and Erik Haula (ankle) are out. Even if he continues to suit up, MacDermid will have extremely limited minutes on the fourth line -- his 6:36 of ice time Tuesday was his fourth-highest total of the season. He doesn't have a point this season while adding five shots on net, 29 hits and 19 PIM across 17 appearances.

Bastian logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

The helper was Bastian's first point in 16 games since he returned from a broken jaw. The 27-year-old winger has occupied a fourth-line spot during that stretch and has been a regular in the lineup despite the lack of offense. He's at six points, 24 shots on net, 27 PIM and 58 hits through 28 appearances this season.

Meier logged an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

Meier has a goal and two assists over his last seven outings. He had seven points over a five-game span right before the holiday break, so the winger has cooled off a bit. Overall, he's at 14 goals, 16 helpers, 133 shots on net, 78 hits, 50 PIM, 34 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 45 appearances. Meier's all-around production is excellent for fantasy, and his 10.5 shooting percentage could still tick up a couple of notches if he gets back on track in the second half.

Verhaeghe logged an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Devils.

Verhaeghe has four points over his last six contests. The winger has had to generate most of his production from a middle-six role recently, as the Panthers' offense has been a bit sluggish, and head coach Paul Maurice is experimenting with new combinations. Verhaeghe has been part of the problem on offense at times, racking up a rather modest 10 goals, 21 assists, 132 shots on net, 65 hits and a minus-20 rating through 45 appearances. The 29-year-old has topped the 30-goal and 70-point marks in back-to-back years but would need a massive surge in the second half to reach those thresholds in 2024-25.

Seeler notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Seeler set up Bobby Brink's opening goal 3:44 into the first period. The helper ended a six-game point drought for Seeler. The 31-year-old defenseman isn't one to get on the scoresheet a lot, and he's had to focus on his own zone a bit more while paired with Jamie Drysdale, who has a bit more flair on offense. Seeler is at 13 points, 43 shots on net, 44 hits, 99 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 40 appearances this season. He needs just two more points to top his career high from 2022-23.
