  • Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Produces two assists

    Sillinger recorded two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

    Sillinger has three points over his last two games. He went 10 contests without a point over the bulk of January, so this return to form on offense is a positive, though he remains in a third-line role with no power-play time. The 22-year-old is now at six goals, 17 helpers, 89 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-1 rating through 51 contests. He's on pace for a career high in points, sitting just 10 back of matching his previous high-water mark from 2024-25.

  • Sean Monahan C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Scores game-winner Wednesday

    Monahan scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

    Monahan's tally answered the game-tying goal by Travis Konecny late in the third period. The 31-year-old Monahan has three goals on five shots over his last four contests. That's not a sustainable scoring pace, but it looks like the center may be finding his rhythm a bit. He's now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 48 appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Secures pair of points

    Olivier scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

    Olivier earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 13 versus the Oilers. The winger has just four points across 13 outings in January while seeing consistent time on the third line. For the season, he's up to five goals, 13 points, 49 shots on net, 145 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 39 contests. He's unlikely to match his 32-point output from 2024-25, but he should be able to top the 20-point mark if he stays healthy.

  • Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Goal, assist in win

    Coyle scored a goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

    Coyle was honored in a pregame ceremony for reaching 1,000 career appearances last week, and he celebrated by scoring just 38 seconds into the game. The 33-year-old is locked in right now with six goals and four helpers over his last eight outings. For the season, Coyle has 12 goals, 23 assists, 85 shots on net, 71 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 52 appearances in a middle-six role.

  • Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Strikes on power play in loss

    Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Zibanejad's cooled off from his frenetic pace earlier in January, but he's still earned 10 goals and 10 assists while getting on the scoresheet in 11 of 12 games this month. For the season, the 32-year-old is up to the 50-point mark, including 20 on the power play. He has 22 goals, 28 helpers, 145 shots on net, 75 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 53 appearances.

  • Marc Gatcomb C | NYI

    Islanders' Marc Gatcomb: Posts helper

    Gatcomb logged an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Gatcomb looked to be slipping into a part-time role last week, but he's retaken a fourth-line spot over Calum Ritchie (lower body) in the past two games. The 26-year-old Gatcomb ended an 18-game point drought with his helper in Wednesday's win. He's produced just three points with 30 shots on net, 108 hits and a plus-1 rating over 24 outings, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

  • Bo Horvat C | NYI

    Islanders' Bo Horvat: Notches power-play assist

    Horvat recorded a power-play assist and four PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Horvat picked up his first point in three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old center has held onto a top-six role with power-play time. However, he may need time to get back up to speed after missing a total of 14 contests over two absences due to lower-body issues. For the season, Horvat has 21 goals, 13 helpers, 128 shots on net, 30 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 39 appearances.

  • Islanders' Mathew Barzal: Pots power-play goal

    Barzal scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Barzal has now scored in back-to-back games, though he has just three goals to go with 11 assists over 13 contests in January. The center has a power-play point in five of the last seven games. He's up to a total of 13 goals, 44 points, 114 shots on net, 41 PIM, 35 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 52 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Earns one of each Wednesday

    Pageau scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    Pageau has four goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 33-year-old center can find bursts of offense at times, so he's worth considering in deeper fantasy formats. Overall, he's at 11 goals, 23 points, 47 shots on net, 62 hits, 41 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 45 games.

  • Maple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Shifts to LTIR

    Joshua (kidney) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

    Joshua still isn't expected to be back before the Olympic break. This procedural move will create more cap flexibility for the Maple Leafs. Joshua can be activated whenever he's ready.
