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.

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.

McMann tallied a goal, two shots, a minus-1 rating and two hits during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

McMann continues to be productive following his return from an upper-body injury earlier in December with four goals and eight points in his last eight games. The 28-year-old has 10 goals and 15 points in 29 games thus far in the 2024-25 campaign.

Frost scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Frost isn't a consistent scoring weapon for the Flyers despite holding a top-six role and a spot in the second power-play unit, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. This was Frost's seventh goal of the campaign, and the 25-year-old center has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four games, tallying four points (three goals, one helper) in that span.

Evans logged a shorthanded goal on one shot in Saturday's 4-0 win over Florida.

With Florida on its first and only power play, Evans took advantage of a sloppy pass in the neutral zone and beat Spencer Knight with a riser above the right shoulder to give Montreal a 3-0 lead. It was Evans' fourth straight game with a tally and his third with Montreal a skater down. The fourth-line center is up to nine goals, 13 assists and a staggering 29.0 shooting percentage through 35 outings.

Newhook recorded two assists, two shots on net and one block in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Newhook set up linemate Kirby Dach twice for his first two assists of the season. The two-assist night snapped a seven-game point drought for the second-line center, who has just eight points in 35 outings.

Geekie (upper body) will play against the Rangers on Saturday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Geekie will occupy a top-six role and see time on the second power-play combination after missing Monday's 4-0 win over Florida. He has earned five goals, five assists, 51 hits and 39 shots on net across 31 appearances this season. Geekie will replace Michael Eyssimont (lower body) in Saturday's lineup.

Dach scored two goals on three shots, blocked one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 4-0 win over Florida.

Dach scored 99 seconds into the second period, getting barely enough on a feed from Alex Newhook to beat Florida's Spencer Knight. He was perfect on the second tally 12 minutes later breaking in alone on Knight and beating him with a backhander. The two strikes upped his goal output to four in 35 outings.

Eyssimont (lower body) won't play versus the Rangers on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Eyssimont didn't participate in Friday's practice and will miss his first game since Opening Night versus Carolina on Oct. 11. He has accounted for three goals, five points, 58 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 37 hits over 31 appearances this season.

Pavel and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft were acquired by Nashville from Colorado on Saturday in exchange for Juuso Parssinen and a 2026 seventh-round selection.

Pavel has two assists and 16 PIM in 14 outings with AHL Colorado in 2024-25. The 24-year-old has appeared in two career NHL games but hasn't recorded a point at that level.
