  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Deposits empty-netter

    McMann scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

    McMann has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last six games, totaling three goals and three helpers in that span. He put the cherry on top of Monday's win in Calgary. McMann has a good thing going on the top line, which is where he's typically been most productive over the last couple of years. He's produced 18 goals, 31 points, 111 shots on net, 122 hits and 30 PIM through 55 outings this season.

  • Marco Kasper C | DET

    Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Strikes early in win

    Kasper scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 2-0 win over the Avalanche.

    Kasper's goal 33 seconds into the game guaranteed the Red Wings would be more productive than they were in a 5-0 loss to Colorado on Saturday. In the end, Kasper's goal was all Detroit needed in the win. He had gone three games without a point, but the slump hasn't cost him a top-line spot, giving him a chance to continue working on a second-half surge. He's at six goals, 13 points, 88 shots on net, 127 hits, 35 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 56 appearances.

  • Sharks' Philipp Kurashev: Nabs assist Monday

    Kurashev notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

    This was Kurashev's second outing since he returned from a 19-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team. He's at 16 points in 33 contests this season, compared to 14 points with a minus-28 rating in 51 appearances with the Blackhawks last year. Kurashev has found a steady middle-six role for the Sharks, though his play on offense is only good enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Extends point streak to five games

    Smith scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Smith has three goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 20-year-old continues to thrive on the top line as he closes in on matching his rookie-year numbers. He's at 17 goals, 39 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 41 appearances this season, compared to 18 goals and 45 points in 74 outings in 2024-25.

  • Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Dishes pair of assists

    Dickinson notched two assists and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Dickinson has three helpers over his last four games. The 30-year-old center has a total of 13 points, 50 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 42 outings. He posted 16 points in 59 contests last season, so he's scoring at a slightly better pace in 2025-26. Dickinson remains in a shutdown role in Chicago's middle six.

  • Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Tallies opener on power play

    Bedard scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Bedard has scored in three straight games, though this was his first power-play point since Jan. 10 versus the Predators. The 20-year-old has five points over his last four outings. He's up to a total of 23 goals -- matching his 82-game total from last year -- and 53 points in just 43 contests. He's added 142 shots on net, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Unavailable for Olympics

    Cirelli (undisclosed) won't be available for the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Tuesday.

    After suffering an injury in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over Boston, Cirelli will miss Tuesday's game against Buffalo and Thursday's matchup against Florida. It's unclear if he will be ready to return after the Olympic break. Sam Bennett (upper body) will replace Cirelli on Team Canada.

  • Ryan Donato C | CHI

    Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Erupts for four points in win

    Donato produced two goals and two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

    At least for one night, Donato rediscovered his 2024-25 form. The 29-year-old hadn't had a multi-point performance since Jan. 1, and through 56 games, Donato has managed just 13 goals and 25 points, a huge regression after he delivered a career-high 31 goals and 62 points in 80 games last season.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Two points in Monday's loss

    Celebrini produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to Chicago.

    The Sharks didn't even get on the board until midway through the second period, when they were already staring at a 4-0 hole. Celebrini still came away with his third multi-point performance in the last five games, and the 19-year-old phenom is up to 28 goals and 81 points through 54 games, putting him fourth in the NHL scoring race behind perennial Hart Trophy candidates Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov. Celebrini remains on pace for a truly historic season -- only five teenagers in history have scored 100 or more points, with the last being Sidney Crosby (120 points in 2006-07).

  • Matt Duchene C | DAL

    Stars' Matt Duchene: Two helpers against Jets

    Duchene collected two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Winnipeg.

    His second helper was the biggest, as Duchene sprung Thomas Harley for a clean break on Connor Hellebuyck that resulted in the OT winner. Duchene extended his point streak to five games with the performance, and since the beginning of January, the veteran center has delivered seven goals and 13 points in 16 contests.
