  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Another three-point effort

    O'Reilly recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

    O'Reilly is riding an impressive six-game point streak while posting three multi-point efforts over his last four contests. The star playmaker has been a dominant force for the Predators in recent weeks and is up to 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) with a plus-5 rating since the beginning of January. This prolific stretch has him at 50 points (18 goals, 32 helpers) in 50 games in 2025-26.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Scores hat trick Thursday

    Stamkos recorded a hat trick, including two power-play goals, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

    The Predators erased a 3-0 deficit to secure a 5-3 victory at home, and Stamkos was a big reason why Nashville mounted an impressive comeback. The star forward netted a power-play marker late in the second period and added two key goals in the final frame -- the 3-3 equalizer at 10:07 and the go-ahead tally at 18:47. This was Stamkos' second game with at least three goals this season. He's up to six goals and eight points over his last six contests.

  • Ridly Greig C | OTT

    Senators' Ridly Greig: Pots goal Thursday

    Greig scored a goal and took three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

    Greig has found the back of the net in back-to-back contests and is riding one of his most productive stretches of the campaign. The 23-year-old has 23 points in 45 games so far this season, though he's racked up seven points (two goals, five helpers) over his last five outings. Greig should continue to see a decent amount of scoring opportunities as long as he remains in a top-six role.

  • Peyton Krebs C | BUF

    Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Fills empty cage

    Krebs scored an empty-net goal and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

    Krebs has three goals and an assist over his last four games. He's been back on the fourth line lately, but his production is still there despite the lack of quality minutes on offense. The 24-year-old center has six goals, 20 points, 57 shots on net, 118 hits, 30 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 50 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for the first time, but Krebs' offense could be volatile if he stays in the bottom six for an extended period of time.

  • Zack Bolduc C | MON

    Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Snags helper in loss

    Bolduc registered an assist, two shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and six PIM in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Bolduc has had a rough January with just two assists over 12 outings this month. The 22-year-old has mainly been in a bottom-six role, though his 14:18 of ice time Thursday was his most in any game this month. The forward is up to 19 points, 69 shots on net, 103 hits, 26 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 51 appearances. Unless he carves out a top-six role, he's too risky to roster in standard fantasy formats.

  • Blue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Gets helper in return to lineup

    Lundestrom notched an assist in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Stars.

    Lundestrom missed 12 games due to a lower-body injury and was a healthy scratch Tuesday versus the Senators despite being activated from injured reserve ahead of that contest. The 26-year-old checked back in on the fourth line Thursday, replacing Brendan Gaunce at center. Lundestrom has six points, 30 shots on net, 17 hits and 16 blocked shots over 36 appearances this season. With the Blue Jackets missing only Miles Wood (leg) up front, Lundestrom could be headed for a part-time role in the near future.

  • Red Wings' Emmitt Finnie: Produces assist Thursday

    Finnie notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Finnie came out of the holiday break cold, going 13 games without a point. He snapped the slump with a helper on James van Riemsdyk's tally at 5:36 of the third period. Finnie's downturn on offense has cost him power-play time while bumping him to a bottom-six role at even strength. Finnie reached the 20-point mark with this assist, and he's added 84 shots on net, 75 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 52 outings during his rookie year.

  • Oilers' Matt Savoie: Lights lamp in loss

    Savoie scored a goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Savoie has scored two of the Oilers' last three goals over the last two games. The 22-year-old had gone 16 contests without a goal prior to this improved stretch of finishing. He's up to nine goals, 17 points, 68 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances. Currently, Savoie is holding down a third-line role with ice time in all situations, so his recent burst of offense may be a short one.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Buries goal in win

    Rakell scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Rakell has three goals and two helpers during his five-game point streak. His tally Thursday extended the Penguins' lead to 4-1 in the second period. The versatile forward is up to nine goals, 22 points, 91 shots, 42 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 30 contests this season, mainly in a top-line role.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Finishes quick flurry of goals

    Crosby scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Crosby finished a stretch of three goals in 37 seconds during the early stages of the first period. The 38-year-old has three goals and five helpers during his active five-game point streak. Crosby is having a superb season for a player of any age, racking up 27 goals, 57 points, 118 shots on net, 34 PIM, 42 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 50 appearances. His shot volume is down a bit at 2.36 per game this season compared to 3.09 shots per game across the previous four campaigns combined, but he's made up for it by shooting 22.9 percent in 2025-26. That's a red flag for the long run, but Crosby's talent is likely enough to keep him productive for the remainder of this year.
