  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Scores in shootout loss

    Rakell scored a goal on seven shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Rakell had been limited to three helpers over his previous five games. The 32-year-old forward continues to play on the top line, and he's been fairly steady with six points over nine outings in January. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 84 shots on net, 36 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 27 appearances.

  • Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Deposits goal Saturday

    Stephenson scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

    Stephenson has scored in consecutive games. The 31-year-old center continues to offer steady offense in the Kraken's top six -- he hasn't had a point drought longer than two games since he scored Dec. 6 versus the Red wings. Stephenson is at 13 goals, 29 points, 65 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 45 appearances.

  • Mammoth's Kevin Stenlund: Scores shortie in win

    Stenlund scored a shorthanded goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

    Stenlund snapped an 11-game point drought with his first-period tally, answering Jordan Eberle's opening goal. During his slump, Stenlund had just five shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. The 29-year-old is up to four goals, 11 points (two shorthanded), 41 shots on net, 39 blocks, 25 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 48 appearances, mainly in a bottom-six role.

  • Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Fills empty cage

    Hayton scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

    Hayton ended a month-long goal drought, a span in which he still chipped in six assists and a plus-7 rating over 13 games. The 25-year-old has mostly played in a middle-six role lately, as he hasn't been consistent enough to bump Nick Schmaltz from the top-line center job. Hayton is now at five goals, 14 points, 71 shots on net, 32 PIM, 22 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating across 44 outings.

  • Mammoth's Nick Schmaltz: Nets goal Saturday

    Schmaltz scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

    Schmaltz's hot January continues -- he has six goals and five assists over nine outings this month. The 29-year-old put the Mammoth up 3-1 in the second period, and while that lead didn't last, the team's strong third period was enough for the win. Schmaltz is up to 18 goals, 44 points, 118 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 49 appearances. His career highs of 23 goals and 63 points are both likely to be bested this season if he stays healthy, despite him being on track for his worst power-play year since 2022-23.

  • Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Lights lamp in Saturday's loss

    Pageau scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

    Pageau has two goals over his last four games, compared to a 19-game goal drought before that in which he logged just four assists. The veteran center is up to eight goals, 18 points, 40 shots on net, 55 hits, 38 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances this season. Pageau remains in a second-line role in the absence of Bo Horvat (lower body).

  • Nazem Kadri C | COL

    Flames' Nazem Kadri: Gets on scoresheet with helper

    Kadri registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

    Kadri's still in a 13-game goal drought, a span in which he has two assists, 24 shots on net and a minus-9 rating. The 35-year-old remains in a top-six role, but his fortunes have soured after he was one of the few productive players for the Flames in the first half of the campaign. Overall, Kadri is at eight goals, 25 assists, 137 shots on net, 29 hits and a minus-18 rating through 48 appearances.

  • Nick Suzuki C | MON

    Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Power-play success continues in win

    Suzuki dished out two assists, put three shots on net and recorded two hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Ottawa.

    Both of Suzuki's helpers Saturday came on power plays in the first period, and his 27 power-play points are tied for third in the league. The 26-year-old center is up to 39 assists, 54 points, 106 shots on goal, 37 hits and 40 blocks through 49 games this season, ranking 20th in blocks among forwards. Suzuki is well above the necessary pace to record his third consecutive season with more than 75 points, making him a staple for fantasy lineups in any league format.

  • Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Tallies opening goal in win

    Sharangovich scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

    Sharangovich stayed hot, earning his second goal and fifth point over the last three games. He tallied the opening goal at 11:51 of the first period. The 27-year-old forward now has 10 goals, 19 points, 81 shots on net and a minus-13 rating across 44 appearances. He should remain productive as long as he's able to hold onto a top-six role.

  • J.T. Miller C | NYR

    Rangers' J.T. Miller: Two more helpers Saturday

    Miller notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

    This was Miller's second two-assist effort in a row. He has a goal and five helpers over five games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old forward is now at 28 points (11 goals, 17 helpers), 88 shots on net, 84 hits and a minus-16 rating over 40 appearances in a top-six role this season.
