Byfield notched three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Byfield helped out on Vladislav Gavrikov's goal just 1:39 into the contest and also played a part in both of Kevin Fiala's third-period tallies. The line of Byfield, Fiala and Alex Laferriere had a strong contest and appear to be out of the doldrums from the Kings' low-scoring end to January. Byfield has five helpers over his last two contests and is up to 11 goals, 17 assists, 96 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances.

Bedard notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Bedard helped out on a Ryan Donato tally in the third period. The 19-year-old Bedard continues to offer consistent offense with points in eight of his last 10 outings, though his last multi-point effort was Jan. 8 versus the Avalanche. He's up to 46 points (21 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 28 PIM and a minus-23 rating through 53 appearances this season.

Teravainen recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Teravainen set up tallies by Lukas Reichel and Ryan Donato. Prior to Wednesday, Teravainen had been limited to one goal over his previous six games. The winger is up to 36 points (17 on the power play), 80 shots on net and a minus-16 rating through 53 appearances this season. He's seen steady top-six minutes recently, giving him a better chance of contributing consistent offense.

Donato scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Donato was instrumental in erasing a two-goal deficit -- his goal brought the Blackhawks within one, and he set up Alec Martinez on the equalizer. With five goals and five assists over his last 12 contests, Donato continues to chip in offense at a fairly steady rate, though he was also on the top line Wednesday. The 28-year-old forward has a career-high 32 points, and he's matched his personal best with 16 goals in just 51 appearances this season. He's added 114 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-5 rating. His consistency has made him a viable fantasy option, especially since he's remained on the first power-play unit even when he moves around the lineup at even strength.

Janmark logged an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

This was Janmark's first helper since Dec. 22 versus the Senators. He also has just one goal over his last 20 outings, though it shouldn't be considered unusual for him to go through long droughts given his bottom-six role. The 32-year-old has produced 16 points, 33 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 54 contests in 2024-25, which is already better than his 12-point 2023-24 regular season.

McDavid registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

McDavid has six points, including three on the power play, over five contests since he returned from a three-game suspension. The 28-year-old center set up Zach Hyman's tally at 1:36 of overtime to help the Oilers fend off the Blackhawks. McDavid is now at 22 goals, 49 assists, 23 power-play points, 150 shots on net, 29 PIM, 29 hits and a plus-13 rating across 48 appearances.

Hyman scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Hyman's second tally in the last three games helped the Oilers avoid an embarrassing collapse after they blew a two-goal lead in the third period. The 32-year-old winger is up to 19 goals, 32 points (11 on the power play), 143 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 49 appearances this season. He's bounced around the lineup a fair amount lately, but he's usually been at his best when he's alongside Connor McDavid, as he was Wednesday.

Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Draisaitl and Jeff Skinner assisted on each other's goals in the third period. This was Draisaitl's second multi-point effort in a row, and he has three goals and four helpers during a five-game point streak. For the season, the 29-year-old superstar has overtaken Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead in points -- Draisaitl has 81 (38 goals, 43 helpers) through 54 outings. He's added 184 shots on net and a plus-27 rating.

Zacha produced an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Zacha continues a productive stretch of games -- he has three goals and nine assists over his last 11 outings. The 27-year-old center set up David Pastrnak for a game-tying goal at 15:03 of the second period. Zacha now has 33 points, 102 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-4 rating through 56 contests this season. He's a steady depth option for fantasy managers as a top-six forward.

Lindholm scored a goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Lindholm's go-ahead goal in the second period came just 16 seconds after David Pastrnak tied the game at 1-1. The 30-year-old Lindholm has two goals and three assists over his last five outings. He's had few extended hot streaks this season and is sitting at 10 goals, 29 points, 89 shots on net, 87 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 56 appearances.
