Coleman scored the game-winning goal and added a shorthanded assist in Saturday's 6-4 victory over Chicago.

The veteran winger's tally late in the second period seemed like a fairly meaningless insurance goal at the time, as it gave Calgary a 5-1 lead. Coleman has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, producing three goals and six points over that stretch, but on the season he's managed just 17 points (eight goals, nine helpers) in 34 appearances.

Teravainen notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Flames.

Both points came in the third period as Chicago tried to rally from a 5-1 deficit. Teravainen has reeled off four straight multi-point performances, erupting for a goal and 10 points over that stretch while seeing regular shifts with Connor Bedard, both at even strength and on the top power-play unit.

Bedard scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Flames.

The teen phenom got Chicago on the board midway through the second period, then helped set up two Tyler Bertuzzi tallies in the third as the visitors tried to rally from a 5-1 deficit. Bedard has three multi-point performances in the last six games, and over the last 13 contests, he's piled up five goals and 14 points.

Wright notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Wright has three goals and five assists over 10 contests in December. The 20-year-old center set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Wright is getting more comfortable in his middle-six role and now has 15 points (six on the power play), 31 shots on net, 20 hits, 22 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances this season.

Stephenson produced a pair of power-play assists and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Stephenson had a positive performance against his former team, but the Kraken as a whole couldn't say the same. The 30-year-old center is up to three goals, 20 assists, 13 power-play points, 32 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 34 outings this season. Stephenson's first helper Saturday was the 200th of his career, a mark he reached in his 529th game.

Eichel logged two assists, fired three shots on goal and went plus-4 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Eichel helped out on first-period tallies by Brett Howden and Nicolas Hague. With a goal and seven assists over his last seven outings, Eichel continues to thrive in a playmaking role on the top line this season. The 28-year-old center is up to nine goals, 35 helpers, 95 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 33 contests.

Karlsson scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Karlsson has scored in back-to-back contests, and his point streak is up to three games. The center's third-period tally helped the Golden Knights end any threat of a Kraken comeback. Karlsson has seven goals, 15 points, 57 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 24 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Howden scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-4, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Howden looks set to take on increased responsibilities while Ivan Barbashev (upper body) is on the mend. The 26-year-old Howden has three goals and five points over his last four games. He's typically a bottom-six player when the Golden Knights are healthy, but he's moved up to cover for injuries in previous seasons. Howden has 13 goals, three assists, 55 shots on net, 57 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances.

Suter notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.

The helper was Suter's second over his last seven games. The 28-year-old's offense has taken a significant drop since J.T. Miller returned, bumping Suter out of the top six. Suter is at 11 goals, eight assists, 58 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 32 appearances, but he'd likely have to move back to the wing to play above the third line, and that's not even a guarantee given the Canucks' strong wing depth.

Miller notched an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.

Miller helped out on a Quinn Hughes tally late in the first period. The 31-year-old Miller has four helpers over his last six games and continues to see top-six minutes, though not at the same volume as in previous seasons. He's contributed six goals, 14 assists, 39 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-1 rating through 23 appearances, and he's not blocking a lot of shots after logging at least 50 blocks in three straight campaigns. Miller still has all-around appeal in fantasy, but his recent struggles make him a buy-low target.
