Morgan Rielly - Remains day-to-day Rielly (upper body) is still considered day-to-day and won't play Monday against Florida, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Although Rielly will miss a fourth consecutive contest Monday, he's reportedly close to 100 percent healthy and is expected to practice Tuesday. A return to action Wednesday versus Tampa Bay appears to be a real possibility for the 30-year-old defender, who's racked up 51 points through 65 contests this campaign.

Auston Matthews - Joins elite company with 60 goals Matthews scored his 60th goal Saturday in a 3-0 win over Buffalo.
Impact It's the second time in his NHL career that Matthews has reached the mark. He also hit it in 2021-22, when he scored 60 goals in 73 games. Matthews is the first two-time 60-goal scorer since Pavel Bure of the Canucks (1992-93 and 1993-94). And he's the ninth NHLer with two or more 60-goal seasons, joining Mike Bossy (five), Phil Esposito (four), Mario Lemieux (four), Brett Hull (three), Bure (two), Jari Kurri (two) and Steve Yzerman (two). And to think his game Saturday was mid at best. Wow.
