Bengals Injury Report
Nichushkin scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs. Nichushkin tied the game at 1-1 on a feed from Nathan MacKinnon early in the second period. This was Nichushkin's third game in a row with a goal, and he has earned four points, nine shots and six hits in that span. The 30-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, nine helpers, five power-play points, 82 shots, 32 hits and a plus-10 rating over 31 appearances in 2024-25.
Vlasic logged an assist, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken. Vlasic has held steady in March with five points over nine contests, though he has a minus-4 rating for the month. The 23-year-old defenseman was poised for a large boost in ice time following the Seth Jones trade, but the call-up of Artyom Levshunov has balanced out the ice time on Chicago's blue line recently. Vlasic is still a top-four defender for the team and is now at 27 points, 90 shots on net, 128 blocked shots, 51 hits and a minus-16 rating over 68 appearances.
Eyssimont posted an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks. Eyssimont is up to three points over seven contests since the Kraken acquired him from the Lightning. The 28-year-old forward has played in a fourth-line role, but that's not holding him back much. He's up to 13 points, 116 shots on net, 91 hits, 50 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 64 appearances in 2024-25.
Schwartz logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks. Schwartz snapped a five-game point drought when he earned the secondary helper on Adam Larsson's first-period goal. The 32-year-old Schwartz has gone nine games without a goal and has just five points over 16 contests since the start of February. The winger reached the 40-point mark for the second time in four years with the Kraken and the seventh time in his career. He's added 162 shots on net, 38 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 69 appearances this season.
Dobson had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Tuesday. He tied the game 2-2 about five minutes into the third period on a backhand off a rebound. Dobson has three points, including two goals, in his last two games (eight shots). He's had a quiet season with just 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 56 outings after exploding for 70 last year. Dobson may be a wise offseason target in dynasty. His manager may be frustrated and sell him off as a 50-point player. It's worth filing that away for inquiry later.
McMichael scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings. He scored from in front on a feed from Alex Ovechkin late in the third to make the score 4-1. McMichael is on pace for more than 60 points, and he's the kind of player every team wants -- he goes out and proves people wrong every time they say he can't do something. McMichael's drive and energy will make him an ideal second-line scoring center for the next 6-8 years, and his fantasy contributions will be integral to many championships.
Knies notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames. Knies logged 19:52 of ice time to lead Toronto forwards in the blowout win. The winger has gone six games without a goal, but he has three assists in that span while maintaining his top-line role and a spot on the first power-play unit. For the season, he's up to 24 goals, 20 helpers, 113 shots on net, 149 hits and a minus-3 rating across 63 appearances.
Faksa scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks. Faksa snapped a two-month goal drought, a span in which he was limited to three assists over 22 appearances. He had gone seven games without a point entering Sunday's action, but he snapped the drought at 15:39 of the second period to restore a three-goal lead for the Blues. Faksa remains in a fourth-line role, so opportunities to generate offense are limited. He's up to 12 points, 53 shots on net, 96 hits, 41 blocked shots and 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 56 contests this season.
