  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Three-point effort in win

    Smith scored a power-play goal, dished two assists and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    One of Smith's helpers also came on the power play. The 20-year-old continues to roll after an upper-body injury, earning three goals and four helpers over five contests since his return to action. For the season, he's at 15 goals, 21 helpers, 11 power-play points, 89 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 38 appearances. He needs 10 more points to surpass his total from 74 outings as a rookie last year.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Torches hometown team

    Celebrini scored a goal on four shots, added three assists, went plus-2 and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    Celebrini earned two of his assists over the power play. The North Vancouver native has earned six points over two homecoming games this season. For the season, the 19-year-old superstar is now at 27 goals, 51 assists, 24 power-play points, 177 shots on net and a plus-14 rating through 51 appearances. There's been hardly any slowing down for Celebrini, who now has 16 points across 11 outings in January.

  • Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Posts helper Tuesday

    Dickinson notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

    Dickinson earned his first point in three games since he missed a contest due to an illness. The 30-year-old center has been in a middle-six role lately, offering a little offense while also filling a shutdown role. He's now at 11 points, 50 shots on net, 44 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 39 appearances this season.

  • Ryan Donato C | CHI

    Blackhawks' Ryan Donato: Nets goal Tuesday

    Donato scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

    Donato snapped an 11-game goal drought with the tally. He's picked up three points over his last five outings, but he's in a fourth-line role currently, which doesn't bode well for sustained offense. Donato has struggled this season with 11 goals, 21 points, 82 shots on net, 59 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 53 appearances while moving all around the lineup.

  • Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Scores goal in return

    Teravainen scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

    This was Teravainen's return from a six-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he saw 21:19 of ice time. He scored the Blackhawks' opening goal just 1:19 into the game. The 31-year-old winger could heat up if he maintains a spot on the top line. He's produced 10 goals, 22 points, 56 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 46 appearances this season.

  • Yakov Trenin C | MIN

    Wild's Yakov Trenin: Sparks comeback effort

    Trenin scored a goal and added six hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

    Trenin snapped an 11-game drought with his tally. The 29-year-old has moved into a full-time spot on the fourth line now that the Wild's forward group is at full health. His scoring contributions are likely to be limited, though he's at 15 points this season, matching his total from 76 regular-season contests last year. Trenin has added 58 shots on net, 267 hits, 30 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 54 appearances.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Key role in comeback

    Eriksson Ek scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

    Eriksson Ek recorded both points in the third period. He scored to get the Wild within a goal and then set up Jared Spurgeon's tying tally with 2:02 left in regulation. Eriksson Ek has three points over his last two games and looks to be back up to speed after a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury. For the season, the center has 13 goals, 35 points, 141 shots on net, 74 hits and a plus-15 rating through 48 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Matthew Gard C | PHI

    Flyers' Matthew Gard: Pots pair of goals Tuesday

    Gard scored twice in WHL Seattle's 7-3 win over Brandon on Tuesday.

    Gard's already earned eight points in nine games for the Thunderbirds, just two shy of his 23-game total with Red Deer before a January trade. The Flyers prospect has a total of 18 points in 32 outings, which is a slightly better pace than his 36-point effort in 66 regular-season contests in 2024-25. Momentum is on his side as he plays a big role for the Thunderbirds, which should propel him to career-best production.

  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Three-game, four-point streak

    McMann had a goal, an assist and two hits in a 7-4 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday.

    McMann is on a modest three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists) with 11 shots and seven hits. His deployment on the top line is the sole reason for his fantasy success. Don't get us wrong -- he's talented enough, but playing with Auston Matthews is like manna from the heavens.

  • Max Domi C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Three-game, five-point streak

    Domi scored a goal and added two assists in a 7-4 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday.

    Domi's point streak stands at a modest three games and five points (two goals, three assists), and he has eight points, including three goals, in his last six games. Domi's time on the top line continues, and that makes him a valuable fantasy asset. He has 13 shots in his last six games.
