Stillman will miss a second straight game after suffering an injury in a fight with Tanner Jeannot on Saturday. The 24-year-old Stillman practiced in a non-contact jersey Monday, so the injury shouldn't be considered too serious, but he'll need to log a full-contact practice before he can return.

Rotowire
Stillman (upper body) won't play Monday versus Edmonton.
Stillman, who is considered day-to-day, was injured in Saturday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay after dropping the gloves with Tanner Jeannot. The Sabres blueliner took part in Monday's morning skate but was sporting a non-contact jersey, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. Buffalo's defense corps will also be missing Mattias Samuelsson (upper body), so Jacob Bryson and Kale Clague will both draw into the lineup.

Canucks' Riley Stillman: Adds helper Thursday
Rotowire
Stillman notched an assist in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Islanders.
Stillman has two assists over his last three games, more than he had in his previous 10 outings.

He's only seeing third-pairing minutes when in the lineup, so he's unlikely to be very helpful for most fantasy rosters.

Canucks' Riley Stillman: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Rotowire
Stillman notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
Stillman earned his first point of the year on a Bo Horvat goal in the third period. An undisclosed injury kept Stillman out for four games in late October, but he's since been scratched four times in the last 10 contests. The defenseman has 19 hits, nine blocked shots, 10 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 11 outings this season, and his lack of a guaranteed spot in the lineup makes him a no-go for most fantasy formats.
Stillman was held off the scoresheet for the sixth straight game versus New Jersey on Tuesday.
Stillman -- who was making his return from a four-game injury absence -- logged a season-high 18:10 of ice time in which he generated two blocks, one hit and a minus-1 rating. With the addition of Ethan Bear, the 24-year-old Stillman is far from guaranteed to make the lineup on a nightly basis and could still find himself watching from the press box periodically, especially if Travis Dermott (concussion) is cleared tor return.
