Mason McTavish C | ANA
Ducks' Mason McTavish: Nets lone goal in loss
McTavish scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
McTavish has a goal and an assist over the last two games. The 21-year-old center is up to four goals, 10 helpers, 48 shots on net, 24 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 27 appearances this season. He continues to add some depth scoring from a third-line role, but it's likely too little to make him a major factor in fantasy.

William Karlsson C | LV
Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Deals helper Monday
Karlsson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Karlsson extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) after setting up a Keegan Kolesar tally in the third period. For the season, Karlsson has 16 points, 59 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 25 appearances. He's trending upward, and that's come with a lineup adjustment that has Karlsson and Tomas Hertl coexisting on the second line rather than having each of them center their own trio.

Jack Eichel C | LV
Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Posts assist in win
Eichel notched an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Eichel set up Tomas Hertl's goal in the third period, which was the game-winner. With six helpers over his last five contests, Eichel has remained productive despite going six games without a goal. The center has nine tallies, 36 assists, 98 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 34 appearances in a top-line role this season.

Tomas Hertl C | LV
Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: One of each in win
Hertl scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
Hertl scored the go-ahead goal at 9:36 of the third period and then helped out on a Keegan Kolesar tally later in the frame. The goal was Hertl's first since Dec. 6, and he had just one helper over five games between goals. He's up to 10 tallies, 24 points, 79 shots on net, 47 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 34 appearances this season. Hertl continues to hold down a middle-six role.

Mikael Granlund C | ANA
Sharks' Mikael Granlund: Power-play helper in loss
Granlund notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Granlund had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three games. That was his longest drought of the season and just the third one to cover multiple contests. The 32-year-old has been on the wing recently -- he's a natural center and may not be fully comfortable with the position change. Granlund has 11 goals, 22 helpers, 12 power-play points, 97 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 35 appearances in 2024-25.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Collects pair of helpers
Celebrini notched two assists and five shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
The North Vancouver native had an impressive performance in a loss to his hometown team, the first time he's suited up against the Canucks. Celebrini has been a standout player lately with three goals and seven assists over his last seven outings. The 18-year-old is up to 11 goals, 14 helpers, 85 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 25 appearances this season.

Luke Kunin C | FLA
Sharks' Luke Kunin: Reaches 10-goal mark
Kunin scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
Kunin has scored in back-to-back games and has four points over his last three contests. The 27-year-old's goal came late in the third period -- too late to change the result. The center has been excellent as a depth forward this year with 10 goals, six assists, 52 shots on net, 94 hits, 46 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 37 appearances. He's on pace to top the 30-point mark for the first time since 2019-20.

Teddy Blueger C | VAN
Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Puts up helper
Blueger notched an assist, two hits and four PIM in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Blueger has a goal and five helpers over his last 10 outings. The 30-year-old continues to produce in a depth role -- he's been on the fourth line officially in recent contests, though his defensive acumen allows him to play a larger role on the ice. For the season, the center is at 16 points, 40 shots on net, 49 hits, 22 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 34 appearances. He's on pace to exceed the 30-point mark for the first time in his career.

J.T. Miller C | NYR
Canucks' J.T. Miller: Adds power-play helper
Miller notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, five hits and four blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Miller has a helper in back-to-back games and five assists over his last seven outings. The 31-year-old topped 20 minutes for just the second time in that span. He now has six goals, 15 assists, seven power-play points, 43 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-1 rating through 24 appearances this season. Another 100-point season is likely out of the question, but Miller should flirt with a point-per-game pace the rest of the way.

Nick Schmaltz C | UTA
Hockey Club's Nick Schmaltz: Nabs helper Monday
Schmaltz provided an assist and five shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
Schmaltz has a goal and five assists over his last six outings. While it's a return to his helper-heavy production from earlier in the year, that's not a bad thing, as Schmaltz can make a big impact in that one category. He's up to five goals, 22 assists, 78 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 34 contests this season.
