  • Hockey Club's Alex Kerfoot: Nets goal in blowout win

    Kerfoot scored a goal in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

    Kerfoot deflected in a shot attempt by Maveric Lamoureux. Entering Saturday, Kerfoot had picked up just one helper over his previous seven outings. The 30-year-old forward is a key part of Utah's structure, but he often fills a bottom-six role at even strength. He's contributed six points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 20 contests this season.

  • Jack McBain C | UTA

    Hockey Club's Jack McBain: Tallies again Saturday

    McBain scored a goal and added seven hits in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

    McBain opened the scoring at 8:54 of the first period. He's primarily been a fourth-liner in 2024-25, but he was on the second line Saturday. The 24-year-old has four goals, 11 PIM and 20 hits over his last seven contests to earn a larger role. He's up to six goals, three assists, 57 hits, 37 PIM, 15 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 20 outings overall.

  • Hockey Club's Nick Bjugstad: Strikes on power play in win

    Bjugstad scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

    Bjugstad's first power-play point was also his fourth goal in the last five games. The 32-year-old center has held down a middle-six role since he returned from an upper-body injury Oct. 26. He has six points, 17 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances this season.

  • Zack MacEwen C | OTT

    Senators' Zack MacEwen: Waived Sunday

    MacEwan was placed on waivers by the Senators on Sunday.

    MacEwan has two goals and an assist in 30 games with Ottawa this year, though just one of those points has come in his last 17 contests. Should he clear waivers, the 28-year-old MacEwan will likely remain with AHL Belleville as a depth option.

  • Bruins' Marc McLaughlin: Reassigned to AHL

    McLaughlin was assigned to AHL Providence on Sunday.

    McLaughlin was called up by the Bruins on Friday, though he served as a healthy scratch in their last two games. The 25-year-old center scored a goal in his lone appearance with Boston last season.

  • John Beecher C | BOS

    Bruins' John Beecher: Goes quiet after hot start

    Beecher's point drought reached 12 games in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Beecher was a pleasant surprise in the first couple weeks of the season, but he's contributed no points since his assist Oct. 26 versus the Maple Leafs. The 23-year-old has two goals, six points, 14 shots on net, 28 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances, and he was scratched versus the Blues on Nov. 16. Beecher is still good enough to hold down a fourth-line role, but he's not a fantasy factor now that his offense has dried up.

  • Bruins' Tyler Johnson: Earns first point with new team

    Johnson produced an assist and four PIM in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Johnson picked up his first point as a Bruin, doing so in his sixth appearance with the team. The 34-year-old has added five shots on net, four hits, six PIM and a plus-3 rating. He's played primarily in a bottom-six role, and with little to offer outside of limited offense, he's not a strong option for fantasy managers.

  • Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Scores early in loss

    Verhaeghe scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and went minus-4 in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

    Verhaeghe scored in the opening minute, but that was the extent of his positives in the contest. He's been limited to two points and has a minus-12 rating over his last six appearances, a stretch that has seen him drop down to the third line. Verhaeghe is at five goals, 14 points, 75 shots on net, 25 hits and 18 PIM, but his minus-16 rating sticks out like a sore thumb, especially on a Florida team that has a top-10 offense.

  • Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Tallies in Saturday's loss

    Barkov scored a goal in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

    Barkov has 18 points over 11 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old center is at four goals, 19 points, 28 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 13 appearances. He's playing at an elite level while on the top line, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him reach the 80-point mark for the third time in four years even with an eight-game absence already on his ledger.

  • Sam Reinhart C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Can't stop scoring

    Reinhart scored a power-play goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche.

    Reinhart kept pace for the league lead in goals, potting his 16th of the season. He's netted 11 of them during his 13-game point streak, which has also seen him earn eight assists. The 29-year-old forward has a total of 31 points (seven on the power play), 56 shots on net, 24 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 21 outings.
