Devils' Paul Cotter: Pots goal in defeat
Cotter found the back of the net on his only shot and added two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 10:32 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.
Cotter stripped the puck from Jesperi Kotkaniemi in the neutral zone before depositing a shot past Dustin Tokarski on a breakaway to open the scoring in the middle frame. It was Cotter's first goal since Nov. 12, a span of 19 games. The 25-year-old has cooled off significantly after producing 12 points over his first 19 appearances of the campaign. Overall, Cotter is at eight goals and 14 points through 39 outings.

Morgan Geekie C | BOS
Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Pair of points in win
Geekie scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Geekie continues to fit in just fine in the top six, racking up four goals and three assists over his last seven outings. He scored at 6:29 of the second period and then set up David Pastrnak just under two minutes later as the Bruins took control of the game in the middle frame. Geekie is now at eight goals, 16 points, 67 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-4 rating through 33 appearances, but he's clearly trending up with 12 of his points coming in the last 15 games.

Seth Jarvis C | CAR
Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Bags three apples Saturday
Jarvis produced three even-strength assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.
Jarvis recorded a helper on Dmitry Orlov's second-period marker, which tied the score at 1-1, and he assisted on both of Jack Roslovic's tallies in the final frame. It was Jarvis' first multi-point effort since Nov. 25, but perhaps this type of performance will serve as a springboard for the talented winger going forward. The Winnipeg native has logged nine goals and 24 points through 29 appearances this season.

Jack Roslovic C | EDM
Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Three points in victory
Roslovic netted two goals and added a helper and a plus-3 rating in 15:26 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.
All three of Roslovic's points came at even strength in the final frame. The right-shot forward is riding a four-game point streak consisting of three goals and three helpers, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in five of his past six contests. Roslovic is now leading Carolina with 16 goals, and he's up to 24 points through 36 appearances.

Hendrix Lapierre C | WAS
Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Dishes helper
Lapierre tallied an assist while logging 9:59 of ice time during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Lapierre's ice time was lowest among the Capitals and does not bode well for his presence in the lineup once Lars Eller (illness) is healthy enough to return. The 22-year-old is still searching for his first goal of the season and has tallied a modest eight points in 27 games.

Nic Dowd C | LV
Capitals' Nic Dowd: Nets game-winning goal Saturday
Dowd tallied the game-winning goal, a plus-2 rating and two shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Dowd was all alone near the goal line and ripped a feed from Rasmus Sandin to give the Capitals a 3-2 lead midway through the third period. The 34-year-old's ninth goal of 2024-25 ended an eight-game scoring drought and brings him to 12 points on the season.

Dylan Strome C | WAS
Capitals' Dylan Strome: Dishes helper Saturday
Strome tallied a power-play assist and added five shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Strome stripped the puck from Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev to help setup Tom Wilson's strike in the third period. Despite a four-game point drought, Strome continues to lead the Capitals with 11 goals and 39 points in 35 games and can be relied upon for solid fantasy production most nights.

Max Domi C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Bags apple
Domi tallied an assist and registered 13:41 of ice time during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
Domi set up Bobby McMann for Toronto's second goal of the game early in the third period. The 25-year-old has been a solid contributor since returning from a lower-body injury Dec. 10 with three goals and seven points in his last 10 games.
