McMann scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

McMann scored for the fourth time in five games, and this was his second power-play tally in that span. His goal late in the first period also stood as the game-winner. Despite a demotion to the third line, the physical winger continues to get involved on offense. He's secured a career year with 17 goals, 25 points, 117 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-7 rating over 46 outings, surpassing his production from 56 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Guentzel picked up a goal in Tampa Bay's 5-1 win over Ottawa on Thursday.

Guentzel opened the scoring on the power play at the mid-point of the first period when he poked in a loose puck off a rebound. He has six goals, four assists and 33 shots in his last 11 games. Overall, Guentzel's 27 goals are second on the Bolts, behind only Brayden Point's 29. His 13 power-play goals not only lead the team, but also lead the NHL.

Point had a goal and two assists in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.

Point has 29 goals, 27 assists and 123 shots in 48 games this season. That puts him on pace for a campaign that almost perfectly mirrors his output last season -- 46 goals and 90 points. Point is as consistent as they come. He will skate for Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off from Feb. 12-20.

Amadio scored the Senators' only goal in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

It's Amadio's third goal in his last four games. It's a real outburst for the winger, who has just five goals and 14 points in 45 games this season. And his secondary stats (56 hits and 27 blocks) are unspectacular. Amadio is a journeyman who has played for five NHL teams over the last eight seasons. His value is on the ice, not in the fantasy arena.

Pospisil notched an assist, four shots on goal and six hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Pospisil has three helpers and 26 hits over his last five contests. The 25-year-old continues to see middle-six usage, adding plenty of physicality and a little depth offense. For the season, he has three goals, 15 helpers, 75 shots on net, 192 hits, 72 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 54 appearances. He's also avoided suspensions so far in 2024-25 -- he had one in March of last season, but he can be a solid fantasy option in formats that reward his heavy play as long as he doesn't cross the line.

Kadri logged an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Kadri helped out on a Rasmus Andersson tally in the third period. Kadri has opened February on a four-game point streak (one goal, four assists), and this was his first even-strength contribution in that span. The 34-year-old center has just two streaks of at least that many contests -- his other one was a five-game run from Dec. 8-17. For the season, he's at 18 goals, 21 helpers, 180 shots on net, 57 PIM, 36 hits and a minus-16 rating over 54 appearances in a top-line role.

Huberdeau scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Huberdeau scored just 3:22 into the contest. He's started February well with two goals and two assists over four games, with three of those four points coming on the power play. Huberdeau also saw 24:44 of ice time Thursday, his second-highest total in a game this season. The winger is up to 21 goals, 40 points (14 on the power play), 102 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 54 appearances, emerging as a fixture on the top line.

Karlsson (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Thursday, per PuckPedia.

Karlsson has been out since Jan. 20 and is not considered close to a return. His placement on LTIR means he won't be available for Feb. 22 versus the Canucks, which will be his 10th straight game on the shelf. He'll be eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Kings, but an update on his status shouldn't be expected until after the Golden Knights resume their season at the earliest.

MacKinnon notched three assists, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

MacKinnon set up all three of the Avalanche's second-period tallies, scored by Cale Makar, Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Necas (on the power play). This was just the second multi-point effort in the last 10 games for MacKinnon, but he has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of those outings. The superstar center reclaimed the NHL lead in points with 83 (20 goals, 63 helpers), and he's added 220 shots on net, 29 PIM, 29 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 56 appearances.

Necas scored twice on eight shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Necas had been held off the scoresheet over the previous two games. He helped out on Artturi Lehkonen's tally in the second period before tipping in a power-play goal late in that frame. Necas also scored on a breakaway in the third to give the Avalanche some insurance. He has eight points over seven outings since he was traded from the Hurricanes, and the 26-year-old is at 19 goals, 44 assists, 139 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating over 56 appearances this season.
