Gustafson (undisclosed) returned to action with WHL Lethbridge on Saturday.

Gustafson impressed in his first game of the season, notching a goal and an assist in a win over Moose Jaw. The 20-year-old Gustafson, a third-round pick in 2022, figures to spend most of the campaign in the WHL, though he could join AHL Henderson later in the year.

Donato scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

Donato has a tally in back-to-back contests. The 28-year-old continues to fill a versatile role, moving all around the lineup for the Blackhawks without suffering too much of a drop-off in any spot. He's up to 13 goals, 24 points, 101 shots on net, 74 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 41 appearances this season. Donato is on pace to easily surpass his career high of 31 points from the 2021-22 campaign.

Henrique scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Henrique has three goals over his last three games. He has added just four shots on net in that span, so this doesn't look to be a sustainable burst of offense, but it's encouraging he's getting some reward for his effort. The 34-year-old center has a modest 13 points with 64 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-2 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Hyman scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

The goal was the game-winner in the third period, but more importantly, Hyman was back on the first line after Connor Brown dropped back to the bottom six. Hyman's production didn't suffer much despite the recent third-line usage -- he has a goal and five assists over eight outings since the holiday break. Overall, the winger has 14 goals, 25 points (nine on the power play), 104 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. If he can stick on the top line, Hyman is poised to have a strong second half while playing alongside Connor McDavid.

Gaudette notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.

The helper ended a nine-game slump for Gaudette. It appears the magic has worn off for the 28-year-old forward, who is still routinely in the lineup but has now gone 14 games without a goal. He's produced a career-best 13 tallies with five assists, 51 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-6 rating over 40 appearances, but volatile production won't make him a strong choice to fill out the depth of a fantasy roster.

Norris logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.

Norris ended a four-game slump with the helper on Drake Batherson's second-period tally. It's been 16 games without a multi-point effort for Norris, who has six points, 30 shots and 36 hits in that span. The center is at 23 points, 79 shots, 105 hits, 35 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 41 contests in a top-six role this season.

Teravainen scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

Both points came in the first period as Chicago jumped out to an early 2-0 lead that then slipped away. Teravainen has produced back-to-back multi-point performances, and over his last 13 contests, the streaky winger has erupted for four goals and 17 points with a plus-6 rating -- a surprising showing for a player with a minus-9 rating on the season.

Draisaitl produced two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over Chicago.

After the 29-year-old superstar helped to set up Vasily Podkolzin for Edmonton's first tally early in the second period, Zach Hyman banged home the rebound on a Draisaitl wrister midway through the third for the game-winner. It was Draisaitl's third multi-point performance in the last four games, and he's failed to get onto the scoresheet only once in his last 17 appearances, piling up 14 goals and 31 points over that impressive stretch.

Pinto scored two goals, one on the power play and one shorthanded, in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.

Both tallies came in the first period as the Senators surged out to a 3-0 lead. Pinto continues to be a feast or famine fantasy asset -- the 24-year-old has three two-goal performances in the last 13 games, but he's been held off the scoresheet entirely eight times during that span. On the season. Pinto has a modest eight goals and 12 points in 33 appearances.

Sillinger scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blues.

Sillinger missed the 6-2 win over the Kraken on Thursday due to an illness, but the 21-year-old center returned to action and found the back of the net in the latter stages of the second frame with a power-play tally to give Columbus a 2-0 lead. This was Sillinger's first goal since Dec. 17, when he notched a power-play tally in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning. He's up to 23 points in 41 games this season, racking up seven goals and 16 assists, and he seems to be trending in the right direction after cracking the scoresheet in three of his last four appearances.
