  • Canadiens' Joe Veleno: Pockets helper in overtime loss

    Veleno logged an assist and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

    Veleno saw 15:51 of ice time in this contest, his second-highest total of the season. The 25-year-old also landed on a line with defensive ace Jake Evans, which could lead to more ice time if that duo, plus Brendan Gallagher, stays together. Veleno is not a fantasy option in most formats -- he has just two points with 23 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 outings.

    Rangers' Sam Carrick: Slumping on offense

    Carrick's point drought is up to 11 games after he failed to get on the scoresheet in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

    Furthermore, Carrick has just one helper over 22 games since he scored in an Oct. 28 win over the Canucks. The 33-year-old center is valuable enough to the Rangers in a fourth-line and penalty-killing role that he stays in the lineup even during slumps. He has six points, 34 shots on net, 50 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances, but he's likely to fall far short of his career-high 20 points from last year.

  • Flyers' Trevor Zegras: Two points Saturday

    Zegras recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

    Zegras participated in two of the Flyers' three goals in this win, setting up Bobby Brink's first-period goal and later adding one of his own before the end of that first frame. Zegras remains one of the Flyers' most productive players and has notched 30 points this season, with 12 goals and 18 assists.

  • Seth Jarvis C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Scores vs. Philly

    Jarvis scored a goal, took three shots and recorded five hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

    Jarvis scored his 18th goal of the season at the 12:26 mark of the third period with a wrister that gave the Canes a 3-2 lead. The Flyers tied it up, but Carolina ended up winning after a shootout in which Jarvis couldn't score. The star winger remains productive and has netted seven goals over his last nine appearances, a stretch in which he's also racked up an assist, 33 shots on goal, 18 hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating.

  • Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Ends scoring drought

    Coyle scored a goal and took four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Coyle found the back of the net at the 7:02 mark of the first period with a wrister that gave Columbus a one-goal lead. However, the team was unable to sustain it and lost a fifth straight game. At least Coyle snapped his scoring drought, as this was his first goal since Dec. 1. With only five points (two goals, three assists) in seven December games and a bottom-six role entrenched, Coyle shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy upside moving forward.

  • Nick Suzuki C | MON

    Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Helps out twice Saturday

    Suzuki distributed two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

    Suzuki gave out the primary helper on the team's opening goal by Zachary Bolduc before chipping in on Josh Anderson's tally in the second period. The 26-year-old Suzuki is up to 28 assists, 36 points, 66 shots on goal, 25 hits and 25 points through 31 games this season. Not only does he rank in the league's top 20 in points, but he also has solid category coverage to bolster his fantasy profile. He's on pace for another 70-plus point season, which would be his third straight year hitting that mark.

  • Jake Evans C | MON

    Canadiens' Jake Evans: Lights lamp in loss

    Evans scored a goal, put two shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

    Evans gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Rangers promptly surged back with two goals of their own prior to the first intermission. The 29-year-old winger is up to five goals, nine points, 34 shots on net, 42 hits and 23 blocks through 30 games this season. He is currently centering the third line and has continued to provide all-around stat coverage. There are likely better options for higher-end scoring in fantasy, but Evans should continue to be a steady source of category coverage when he's in the lineup.

  • Zack Bolduc C | MON

    Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Scores opening goal Saturday

    Bolduc tallied a goal, had four shots on net, blocked two shots and put out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

    Bolduc opened the scoring in Saturday's contest near the 13-minute mark in the first period. The 22-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 14 points, 46 shots on net and 52 hits through 31 games this season. He has struggled to score consistently, with his goal Saturday being the first since he scored in back-to-back contests Nov. 26 and Nov. 28. Despite his role on Montreal's top line, Bolduc's value in fantasy is best served for deep leagues until he can produce points consistently.

  • Adam Lowry C | WPG

    Jets' Adam Lowry: Breaks slump with two helpers

    Lowry notched two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

    The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Morgan Barron and Alex Iafallo, the former proving to be the game-winner. Lowry snapped an 11-game point drought with his first multi-point performance of the season, and through 19 contests, he has just one goal and five points.

  • Noah Laba C | NYR

    Rangers' Noah Laba: Records two points in win

    Laba scored a power-play goal, distributed an assist, put two shots on net and had five hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

    Laba netted the first goal of the night for New York with the man advantage near the end of the first period before helping out on Will Cuylle's tally in the second. With the pair of points, Laba is up to five goals, five assists, 36 shots on goal, 39 hits and 21 blocks through 33 games this season. The 22-year-old rookie has shown promising versatility on the Rangers' third line. His multi-point effort in Saturday's contest was the second of his career. Laba's on pace for only 25 points, but his category coverage gives him some value in deeper fantasy leagues.
