Lizotte scored a goal and added seven PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Lizotte stretched the Penguins' lead to 4-1 in the second period, getting a piece of a Noel Acciari attempt on the way to the net. Through eight games in January, Lizotte has three goals and an assist. The 28-year-old forward signed a three-year extension with the Penguins on Monday, so he looks to be part of the team's long-term plans in the bottom six. He's at six goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 37 appearances.

Ostlund logged two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Ostlund has three helpers over his last two outings. The 21-year-old is still prone to being an occasional scratch -- he sat out Monday's game versus the Panthers -- but he's been fairly steady in a middle-six role lately. He's up to a total of 15 points, 37 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances this season. Ostlund has potential, but his usage still isn't ideal for fantasy managers in standard formats.

Laughton scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Laughton scored for the second time in five games. His tally Thursday put the Maple Leafs ahead 5-3 in the third period, but they weren't able to manage the lead. The 31-year-old center has contributed six goals (two shorthanded), two assists, 35 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 29 appearances this season, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Matthews scored a goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Matthews' hot January continued with this effort. He has eight goals and three assists over eight contests this month, though his minus-3 rating was his worst in a game since Dec. 20 in Nashville. The star center is up to 23 goals, 38 points, 156 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 41 appearances this season.

Tavares scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Tavares picked up his first multi-point effort since Dec. 28 in Detroit. The 35-year-old center has two goals and four assists over eight outings in January as he continues to provide steady offense in a second-line role. For the season, Tavares is up to 17 goals, 42 points (six on the power play), 115 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-5 rating across 47 appearances.

Abols scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Abols deflected a Cam York slap shot early in the second frame; it was his second goal of the season. It was his first goal in 12 games (five assists). The 30-year-old fourth-line center has three goals, seven assists and 43 shots in 41 games. There's limited fantasy value in his profile.

Hertl scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and logged two PIM in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Hertl helped out on Pavel Dorofeyev's second goal of the game early in the third period before scoring the game-tying tally with seven seconds left in regulation. This was Hertl's fourth multi-point effort over the last six contests, and he has four goals and seven assists in that span. The center is up to 19 goals, 41 points (17 on the power play), 123 shots on net, 56 hits, 25 PIM, 20 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 46 appearances this season. He's still listed on the third line but is functionally a top-six forward in a strong offense.

Eichel scored a goal on five shots, added three assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Eichel's fingerprints were all over the comeback effort. He assisted on the Golden Knights' last two goals to force overtime, and he then scored 2:44 into the extra session to complete the comeback. With five goals and nine assists during a seven-game point streak, Eichel is dialed in right now. He's up to 17 goals, 55 points (20 on the power play), 148 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 39 appearances in a top-line role.

Novak picked up two assists Thursday in a 6-3 victory over the Flyers.

The second-line forward picked up his first points in five games. Novak has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last 14 games and 23 (eight goals, 15 assists) in 46 games this season. He doesn't deliver hits, blocks or PIM, so his fantasy value is limited.

Crosby had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.

Both points came on the power play. Crosby now has 25 goals and 26 assists in 46 games. It's his 19th season with at least 50 points, which ties him with Alex Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky for the sixth-most in NHL history behind Ron Francis (22), Gordie Howe (22), Jaromir Jagr (20), Mark Messier (20) and Ray Bourque (20). He's also on pace for 44 goals, which would tie him with Gordie Howe (1968-69) and Ovie (2024-25) for the most by a player 38 years or older.
