  • Blues' Nick Bjugstad: Pots GWG in return

    Bjugstad scored a shorthanded game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Hurricanes.

    The veteran center opened the scoring early in the second period, picking the top corner over Brandon Bussi's glove from the faceoff dot, and it would be all the offensive support Joel Hofer would need. Bjugstad was returning from a 15-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and both the shortie and the GWG were his first of the season. Through 26 contests in 2025-26, Bjugstad has five goals but only six points with 53 hits, 42 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

  • Ethen Frank C | WAS

    Capitals' Ethen Frank: Lights lamp twice Tuesday

    Frank scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.

    With the Capitals down 2-0 in the third period, Frank sent the game to OT with his third two-goal performance of the season. The 27-year-old winger has found the back of the net in three straight games, and while Frank has just 10 goals and 18 points in 36 contests, his role seems to be growing. He logged a season-high 18:08 of ice time against the Canadiens, including 4:44 on the power play.

  • Josh Dunne C | BUF

    Sabres' Josh Dunne: Set to miss 4-6 weeks

    Dunne (undisclosed) is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Wednesday.

    Dunne will likely return after the Olympic break, based on that timetable. He has a goal, four points, 34 PIM, 34 hits and 12 blocks in 28 appearances in 2025-26. Dunne hasn't been able to stay in the lineup consistently, so there's no guarantee he'll play regularly once he's available.

  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Adds three points in loss

    Draisaitl tallied a goal, supplied two assists and fired four shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville.

    Draisaitl played a hand in all three of Edmonton's goals, with the second of the trio being the one he scored himself to tie the game at two apiece. Following Tuesday's three-point performance, the 30-year-old center now has 25 goals, 42 assists and 135 shots on net through 47 games this season. While his teammate Connor McDavid is garnering all of the attention due to his 20-game point streak, Draisaitl has a solid streak of his own with 10 points during his five-game scoring run. Five of those points are goals, which have brought him up to a tie for fifth across the league in that regard. If he can push toward the 52 goals he posted in 71 regular-season games a year ago, the veteran center could end up posting a number near the top of the league.

  • Zach Hyman C | EDM

    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Lights lamp twice in loss

    Hyman scored two goals and put three shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville.

    Both of Hyman's twine finders came on power plays, with his first goal tying the game at one apiece before his second gave the Oilers a brief 3-2 lead. Overall, the 33-year-old winger has 16 goals, 27 points, 83 shots on net and 32 hits through 28 games this season. Hyman's goals helped extend the point streak of Connor McDavid, who reached the 20-game mark Tuesday. Hyman should not only continue to play a key part in that storyline, but is also on track to finish the season near a point-per-game pace after missing the first month with a wrist injury.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Point streak up to 20 games

    McDavid recorded two assists and placed three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.

    McDavid extended his point streak to 20 games. He is up to 52 assists, 82 points and 176 shots on net across 47 games this season. While it wasn't ever in much question, the superstar center secured a point-per-game for the season, assuming he plays all 82 games for the Oilers. During his point streak, he has 19 goals, 27 assists and 101 shots on net. He'll have a chance to extend his point streak to 21 games during Thursday's home contest against the Islanders.

  • Tristan Broz C | PIT

    Penguins' Tristan Broz: Shipped down to minors

    Broz was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

    Broz didn't get into the lineup versus the Lightning on Tuesday, serving as a healthy scratch. The youngster will likely suit up for the Baby Pens in Wednesday's clash with AHL Providence, which would technically make him eligible to be called back up ahead of Pittsburgh's matchup with Philadelphia on Thursday.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Nets opening goal Tuesday

    Stamkos scored a goal, placed three shots on net and dished out two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton.

    Stamkos put a tally on the scoreboard less than three minutes into regulation to secure his fifth consecutive season with 20 goals or more. Overall, the 35-year-old forward is up to 20 goals, 31 points, 110 shots on net, 45 hits and 20 blocks through 46 games this season. Since Dec. 11, Stamkos has amassed 12 goals and 20 points in 17 outings. He remains a relevant fantasy producer, especially when it comes to finding the back of the net, giving him value in nearly all standard fantasy formats moving forward.

  • Senators' Michael Amadio: Hands out assist in win

    Amadio notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

    Amadio is still stuck in a 15-game goal drought, and he's picked up just three assists in that span. The 29-year-old is still seeing third-line minutes, but the lack of offense has taken him out of the mix for consideration in most fantasy formats. For the season, he's up to 17 points, 57 shots on net, 67 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 45 contests.

  • Boone Jenner C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two points, two hits in win

    Jenner had a goal and an assist Tuesday in a 5-3 win over Calgary.

    His goal stood as the winner. Jenner has eight goals and 15 assists in 32 games this season, and eight of those (three goals, five assists) in his last nine contests. Jenner is hurt far too often, but when healthy, he brings a real edge to the ice, and he can obviously score. He put up two hits Tuesday and has 73 hits in 32 games this season.
