Smith scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Calgary. He fired five shots.

Smith is on a four-game, seven-point streak (two goals, five assists; 12 shots). Saturday's goal came on the power play. Smith's ascension toward stardom continues. He has 38 points (16 goals, 22 assists) in 40 games this season, and he has already equaled his power-play production (five goals, 12 points) from 2024-25 in 34 fewer games. Last season, Smith delivered 45 points (18 goals, 27 assists) in 74 games.

Gaunce scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 6-5 overtime win over Belleville on Saturday.

Gaunce has six goals and four helpers over 14 AHL outings this season. This was just his second game back with Cleveland after spending over two months in the Blue Jackets' bottom six. He'll likely be near the top of the list for a recall if the team sustains future injuries at forward.

Del Bel Belluz scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Cleveland's 6-5 overtime win over Belleville on Saturday.

Del Bel Belluz snapped a seven-game goal drought. He has a goal and seven assists over his last five outings. The 22-year-old would likely have to wait for injuries to open a spot in the Blue Jackets' lineup, but with 33 points in 30 appearances, he's been plenty productive at the AHL level.

Pilon scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Belleville's 6-5 overtime loss to Cleveland on Saturday.

Pilon has a goal and five assists over his last three games after going five contests without a point. The veteran forward is at six goals, 23 points and a plus-2 rating through 30 appearances this season. Pilon has been an AHL veteran for the Senators over the last three years, but he hasn't gotten a call-up.

Jankowski tallied a goal and recorded three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Washington.

Jankowski continued his solid month of scoring Saturday with the opening tally just over 13 minutes into regulation. Over his last 11 games, the 31-year-old center has three goals and six points, which ties him for eighth on the team. With Saturday's twine finder, he is up to five goals, 12 points, 37 shots on net, 29 hits and 29 blocked shots across 42 games this season. While he continues to heat up slowly, Jankowski is on track to post the third-highest point total of his nine-year NHL career. He had 17 points in 60 regular-season games between Nashville and Carolina a year ago. He is worth keeping tabs on as a potential streaming option in the deepest of fantasy leagues if he continues to find the scoresheet down the stretch.

Frost had a goal on five shots and an assist in a 3-2 win over the Sharks on Saturday.

Frost has scored a goal in three of the past four games, including the last two. Two of the snipes, including the one Saturday, have come with the man advantage. Frost had as many shots Saturday as he put up in his previous seven games. He has 95 shots in 54 games, and he's converted 12 into goals while adding 15 assists.

Monahan (illness) left Saturday's game after two periods, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Monahan logged an assist in the contest prior to his exit. The center is now at 26 points in 50 appearances. He'll have until Tuesday to move past the illness, which is when the Blue Jackets visit the Devils before hosting the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Protas distributed two assists and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Carolina.

Protas slid a pair of primary helpers Saturday, with the latter of the two coming on Jakob Chychrun's game-tying goal late in the third period. Protas now has 18 assists, 36 points, 118 shots on net and 31 blocked shots through 53 games this season. Saturday's contest ended his six-game streak without an assist and helped him end January on a high note after struggling through the month, posting just six points. While he likely won't replicate the 66-point campaign he posted across 76 regular-season games a year ago, he should remain heavily involved at even strength, making him a viable fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Sturm (illness) won't play versus the Oilers on Saturday.

Tyler Pitlick will enter the lineup in Sturm's place. With the absence, Sturm will end January with one goal, two assists, nine shots on net and 13 hits over 14 appearances. His next chance to play is Monday versus the Canadiens.

Lapierre scored a goal and put four shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

After the Capitals went down three goals, Lapierre helped start their four-goal rally with a twine finder midway through the second period. Overall, the 23-year-old center is up to two goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and 32 hits through 53 games this season. Despite having his upside capped in a checking-line role, the young center has passed his offensive output of eight points through 27 regular-season games from a year ago, thanks to a trio of points across his last five appearances. Lapierre's recent run of play likely won't warrant him much consideration in standard fantasy leagues. However, he remains an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues if he can continue to find the scoresheet.
