  • Max Domi C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Streak at five games, seven points

    Domi scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over Vancouver.

    His third-period goal tied the game and ultimately forced overtime and the shootout. Domi is on a five-game, seven-point streak that includes three goals, and he has points in seven of his last eight games (four goals, six assists; 15 shots). Domi runs hot and cold, and his success is tied to how long he stays tied to Auston Matthews.

  • Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Climbing team record lists

    Matthews picked up an assist in regulation and a goal in the shootout in Saturday's 3-2 win over Vancouver.

    Nikita Tolopilo had turned Matthews away on a penalty shot in the third period, but the sniper undressed the netminder on a beautiful play in the shootout. Matthews' assist was his 20th of the season, which gives him 10 consecutive regular seasons with that many at the start of his career. He's the fifth Maple Leafs player to accomplish that feat. The others are Dave Keon (15), Morgan Rielly (13), Mats Sundin (13) and Borje Salming (12).

  • Pius Suter C | STL

    Blues' Pius Suter: Nabs helper in return

    Suter posted an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Suter returned from a 15-game absence due to an ankle injury, and he centered the third line. He ranked second among Blues forwards with 18:05 of ice time, and since the team is still a bit thin down the middle, there could be room for Suter to land a top-six role. The 29-year-old has managed 15 points, 62 shots on net, 29 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances in his first year with the Blues.

  • Blues' Brayden Schenn: Supplies pair of helpers

    Schenn recorded two assists and five hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Schenn's second helper came on the power play. The 34-year-old has five points over his last four outings. He's been on the wing for the last couple of games, and he's seeing top-line usage while Robert Thomas (leg) is out through the Olympic break. Schenn is up to 12 goals, 12 helpers, six power-play points, 78 shots on net, 123 hits, 25 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-25 rating over 55 appearances.

  • Blue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Tallies in Saturday's win

    Lundestrom scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

    Lundestrom has earned two points and three shots on net over five games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old has played well enough to see steady fourth-line usage throughout much of the campaign. His value is as a defensive forward -- fantasy managers can look elsewhere, as Lundestrom has seven points, 33 shots on net, 19 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 40 appearances.

  • Kent Johnson C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Kent Johnson: Earns two points in win

    Johnson scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

    Johnson set up Denton Mateychuk in the first period before scoring a goal of his own in the second. There was a little life in Johnson's offense in January -- he earned seven points with 25 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 15 outings for the month. He's up to six goals, 18 points, 82 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 53 contests overall, mainly in a middle-six role.

  • Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Three-game goal streak

    Gaudette scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to the Flames on Saturday.

    He now has a goal in each of his last three games. Gaudette has 13 goals, seven assists and 65 shots in 43 games this season. He can finish, so playing with talented offensive players like Michael Misa and William Eklund should result in a few more goals.

  • Dylan Cozens C | OTT

    Senators' Dylan Cozens: Finds twine on power play

    Cozens tallied a power-play goal, placed two shots on net, served four PIM and recorded two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.

    Cozens tallied the go-ahead goal in Saturday's contest less than a minute into the third period. His power-play twine finder brought his season totals up to 18 goals, 41 points, 128 shots on net and 144 hits through 54 games. Since Jan. 1, the 24-year-old center has shot the puck efficiently with seven goals, 12 points and a 16.4 shooting percentage across 16 outings. Cozens is developing into a high-level center option in fantasy in leagues that value banger stats, as he's on pace to reach the 200-hit mark for the second straight year.

  • Sam Morton C | CGY

    Flames' Sam Morton: Nets both goals in AHL loss

    Morton scored twice in AHL Calgary's 7-2 loss to San Jose on Saturday.

    Morton is now at nine goals and 15 helpers over 40 appearances this season. He's earned five goals and an assist over his last eight contests. The forward saw some time with the Flames earlier in the season, and he could be a call-up candidate if the NHL club is able to trade away some players.

  • Kings' Jimmy Lombardi: Contributes three points

    Lombardi scored two goals and added an assist in OHL Flint's 6-3 win over Sarnia on Saturday.

    Lombardi has been dominant for the Firebirds this season with 28 goals and 53 points over 47 appearances. He's already well beyond his 45-point performance in 63 regular-season games from last year. The Kings signed Lombardi to an entry-level deal in December, and he's earned 12 points in 14 contests since putting pen to paper with his NHL club.
