Kadri scored a goal and took five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Kadri endured a slow start to the season, but there's no question the veteran playmaker has found a way to turn things around. This was his ninth goal of the campaign, and the 34-year-old has been very consistent over the last few weeks. He's cracked the scoresheet in five of his last six appearances and nine of his previous 12, a span in which he's racked up four goals and six assists. He's notched four of those points (one goal, three assists) on the power play as well.

Rooney notched a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Rooney cracked the scoresheet for the first time since Nov. 23, when he scored a goal in a 4-3 win over the Canadiens, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production from the 31-year-old going forward. Even though he sees regular ice time due to his role in the fourth line, he's registered just three goals and four points in 21 games this season. Even though he brings physicality to the table, as evidenced by his 34 hits and 10 blocked shots, ultimately, he doesn't produce enough to be reliable in most fantasy formats.

Huberdeau scored a power-play and delivered an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Huberdeau was the hero for the Flames in this tight win, as he capped a second-period comeback with a power-play goal with only 1:19 left in the frame. This was his 10th goal of the season, and the 31-year-old is riding a very productive stretch in recent weeks. He's cracked the scoresheet in five consecutive appearances, posting three goals and four assists in that stretch.

Monahan scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

Monahan snapped a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally, though it was too late to flip the result. The center had a burst of offense in mid-November, but he's been limited to four points over his last eight contests. There will be some ebbs and flows with a young team around him, but Monahan remains a surprisingly strong No. 1 center for Columbus. The 30-year-old is at nine goals, 15 helpers, 73 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 28 appearances.

Malkin provided an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Malkin has been held off the scoresheet over the previous two contests. He has a goal and six assists over his last 11 appearances, a decent but unremarkable level of offense for a top-six center. The 38-year-old has accumulated 25 points, 61 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 30 outings this season.

Glass scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Glass has a goal and an assist over three games since he returned from a concussion. The 25-year-old forward is up to six points, 22 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-8 rating through 17 appearances. He's seeing third-line minutes for now, and if he can sustain a decent level of offense, he should be able to stay in that role without too much risk of being scratched.

Dewar registered a shorthanded assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Devils.

Dewar set up a Pontus Holmberg tally to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the third period. The helper was Dewar's first point in 12 appearances this season. The 25-year-old has filled a fourth-line role, adding physicality -- 27 hits and 10 blocked shots -- since he recovered from offseason shoulder surgery. Given his limited scoring upside, Dewar is not a strong option for fantasy managers.

McCann notched an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

McCann ended a four-game slump with the helper on a Chandler Stephenson tally in the first period. The 28-year-old McCann has rarely gone on extended droughts, but he has just three points over his last 12 outings. For the season, he's at 10 goals, 14 helpers, 78 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 30 contests.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

Stephenson has two goals and five assists over his last six outings. The 30-year-old is starting to find some consistency while logging top-six minutes for the Kraken. He's up to 20 points, 27 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 29 appearances. He's still more playmaker than scorer, so Stephenson's fantasy value won't be as high in formats that reward goals above all else.

Reinhart produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Kraken.

Reinhart set up Aleksander Barkov for the game-tying goal in the second period. Both of them then scored in the shootout to lift the Panthers to the win. Reinhart has three goals and five helpers over his last seven outings, getting on the scoresheet in six of those games. The 29-year-old is up to a fantastic 39 points (12 on the power play, five shorthanded) with 77 shots on net, 37 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 29 appearances.
