  • Flyers' Trevor Zegras: Reaches 20-goal mark

    Zegras scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.

    Zegras had been limited to two helpers over his previous six games. The 24-year-old reached the 20-goal mark for the third time in his career after missing that milestone in each of the previous two campaigns. He's at 47 points (17 on the power play), 119 shots on net, 34 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 54 appearances this season.

  • Kings' Quinton Byfield: Tallies game-winner in overtime

    Byfield scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

    Byfield ended a five-game point drought at a good time, cashing in on an Adrian Kempe feed 2:48 into the extra session. The 23-year-old Byfield has struggled with consistency this season, with his tally Saturday being just his 10th goal and third game-winner. He's at 29 points, 109 shots on net, 37 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 52 appearances.

  • Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Pots goal Saturday

    Barzal recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

    Barzal made his presence felt on two of the Islanders' three goals, and the 28-year-old playmaker continues to make a huge impact as a reliable point producer. Barzal recorded 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) over 15 appearances in January.

  • Noah Ostlund C | BUF

    Sabres' Noah Ostlund: Pots goal Saturday

    Ostlund scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Ostlund has been a productive presence in the Sabres' lineup of late, but most of his contributions have come on even strength, as this was just his second power-play goal of the season. Ostlund has seven points (three goals, four assists) over his last 10 contests.

  • Cody Glass C | NJ

    Devils' Cody Glass: Slides helper in return

    Glass supplied an assist, placed three shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.

    Following his one-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, Glass picked up the primary helper on Timo Meier's lone goal of the game for New Jersey. Overall, Glass is up to six assists, 19 points, 76 shots on net, 30 hits and 26 blocked shots across 43 games this season. Since Jan. 11, the 26-year-old center has played his best hockey of the campaign with 10 points in as many games. With 13 goals, he is just one away from matching his career high from the 2022-23 regular season. He centered the top line Saturday in the absence of Jack Hughes (lower body). If Glass can maintain a top-six role, he could be a solid streaming option.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Strikes empty-netter

    Pinto scored an empty-net goal and put three shots on net in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.

    Pinto placed the bow atop Saturday's 4-1 win with his empty-net goal with just over one minute remaining in the contest. Through 44 games this season, the 25-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 27 points, 95 shots on net, 52 hits and 26 blocked shots. While his numbers don't immediately jump off the page, Pinto has taken a step forward this season while skating over one minute more per game than a season ago. From his secondary power-play usage to solid category coverage, the young center holds plenty of reasons to maintain a middle-six role for the remainder of the regular season. He has a strong chance to surpass the 37 points he posted in 70 regular-season games a year ago, which bodes well for his fantasy stock in category-based leagues.

  • Jets' Mark Scheifele: Pots winner against Panthers

    Scheifele scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Florida.

    The Jets headed into the third period down 1-0, but Scheifele completed the comeback with just over four minutes left on a tic-tac-toe passing sequence with Kyle Connor and Gustav Nyquist. Scheifele heads into February with a huge head of steam, racking up seven goals and 17 points over the last 13 games.

  • Red Wings' Sheldon Dries: Inks two-year extension

    Dries signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Red Wings on Sunday.

    Dries has 122 regular-season NHL games under his belt, but he hasn't appeared in one since the 2022-23 season. This season, the 31-year-old has 15 goals and 14 assists in 34 games with AHL Grand Rapids. With his two-year extension, he will continue to serve as organizational depth for the Red Wings.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Two-point effort in win

    Rakell scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

    After helping to set up Anthony Mantha's second tally of the game in the second period, Rakell gave the Pens a 4-1 lead just 80 seconds into the third as he flipped a rebound past Jonathan Quick. Rakell got onto the scoresheet in six of the final eight games in January, collecting four goals and seven points over that stretch, but Saturday's power-play goal was his first since Dec. 21.

  • Noel Acciari C | PIT

    Penguins' Noel Acciari: Lights lamp twice in win

    Acciari scored two goals in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

    The fourth-line grinder has only two multi-point performances on the season, but they have come in the last two games. Acciari is having a disappointing season for the most part -- after reaching triple digits in both hits and blocked shots in 2024-25, he has only 44 hits and 31 blocks in 40 games so far this season, but he has chipped in six goals, 15 points and a plus-9 rating.
