Roslovic scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Roslovic has seen top-line usage at even strength at times this season. He's already picked up three points, 10 shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating over four contests. In the right situation, Roslovic can be an effective complementary scorer, and it appears that's exactly what he's getting in Toronto. He's worth a look in fantasy formats that focus on offense.

Tavares scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Tavares helped spark the Maple Leafs' offense with a second-period tally to answer the game's first three goals from Nashville. This was Tavares' first goal of the season, along with two assists, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. The 36-year-old center continues to fill a second-line role and a spot on the first power-play unit. He's reached the 70-point mark in four of the last five years and could do so again in 2026-27 as long as his usage is steady.

Hallander was traded to the Oilers from the Penguins on Wednesday in exchange for Spencer Stastney.

Hallander began the 2026-27 campaign on a high note with his first career three-point game during the Penguins' Opening Night matchup against Philadelphia. Across his first two appearances of the year, he's recorded a goal, two assists, a hit and a blocked shot while averaging 10:17 of ice time. He'll attempt to carve out playing time with his new club as the season progresses.

Toninato was recalled from AHL Rockford on Wednesday.

Toninato was waived by the Blackhawks ahead of the regular season and subsequently sent to the minors. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club after Andrew Mangiapane (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Toninato made eight regular-season appearances for the Blackhawks last year, recording no goals, an assist, 12 hits, six PIM and a blocked shot while averaging 9:09 of ice time.

Larkin scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

After a turbulent offseason that featured a public trade request and a delayed start to the campaign due to an upper-body injury, Larkin re-joined the lineup Tuesday and wasted no time demonstrating his importance to the Red Wings. The 30-year-old center gave his team a 2-1 lead midway through the first period by completing a tic-tac-toe sequence with Viktor Arvidsson and Alex DeBrincat, then Arvidsson banged home a Larkin rebound for his own tally early in the second. Detroit may give Larkin a chance to rehabilitate his value on the open market before re-engaging trade talks with other clubs, so expect him to remain in a prominent spot in the lineup -- he tied for the lead among all Wings forwards with 6:01 in power-play time Tuesday.

Suzuki produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

The star center gave Montreal a 2-1 lead early in a wild first period, snapping a shot from the top of the faceoff cirlcle past Brandon Bussi, before Suzuki helped to set up Juraj Slafkovsky late in the third as the home side tried to keep pace with the defending Stanley Cup champs. Suzuki has delivered back-to-back multi-point performances, giving him two goals and six points through three games to begin the campaign along with eight shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating.

Jankowski produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

The checking-line center helped set up Eric Robinson for a tally midway through the first period before potting his own in the second. The points were the first of the season for Jankowski, and he doesn't offer much fantasy appeal given his role -- the 32-year-old put together 11 goals and 21 points over 68 regular-season games in 2025-26 during his first full season with the Hurricanes.

Aho scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

The star center rounded out his night with three shots on net, two hits and two PIM. Aho has had a blistering start to the season, racking up four goals -- three with the man advantage -- and seven points in four games. He's also been surprisingly chippy, collecting at least one minor penalty in each contest for 10 PIM, but that's unlikely to last as his career high is just 46 PIM.

Stamkos scored twice in a 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

Stamkos became the third active player to score 100 game-opening goals. Alex Ovechkin (154) and Sidney Crosby (127). lead that list. Stammer has 627 career goals, which puts him in sole possession of 17th all-time. He is just 13 from tying Dave Andreychuk for 16th.

Matthews scored a goal and added three assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

His goal came with 14 seconds left to deliver the win. Matthews earned the praise of new head coach Jim Hiller after the game: "I thought he's been really good our whole camp, he's been working on every puck, but tonight for me, he was a little bit different tonight. From just a pure hockey perspective, to appreciate his game tonight, it was really a special night for him. I'm not even talking about the goal, just his game start to finish." Matthews is looking to rebound from an injury-related decline in output last season. He had 27 goals and 53 points in 60 games. So far, so good.
