Kotkaniemi provided an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kotkaniemi set up a Jackson Blake goal in the second period, which came after the former was moved to the fourth line. Kotkaniemi saw a season-low 9:36 of ice time, and it's unclear if his demotion was a one-game thing or something to be watched moving forward. Jack Drury moved up to the second line in the swap. Kotkaniemi has been inconsistent in November with a goal and four assists over 11 appearances, and he's at 12 points, 41 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 20 outings overall.

Necas recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Necas has been held without a goal for three straight games, but he has three helpers in that span. That's his longest goal drought of the campaign, which illustrates just how excellent he's been so far in 2024-25. The 25-year-old is up to 33 points (11 goals, 22 helpers), with 14 of them coming on the power play through 20 appearances. Necas has added 48 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-8 rating while seeing time on the second line and first power-play unit.

Duchene scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Duchene took a return pass from Tyler Seguin on a rush and roofed the puck over Andrei Vasilevskiy from below the right circle. The goal stood as the game-winner. The crash is coming -- Duchene has just 33 shots, but he's scored 11 times (33.3 percent). His career average is 13.5 percent over 1,075 games. And he has 22 points in 19 games. You may want to test the trade waters for Duchene now.

Roslovic scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Roslovic extended his goal streak to three games with a tally against one of his former teams, which tied the game at 1-1. The 27-year-old winger has been streaky on offense this season and hasn't done much playmaking, racking up 12 goals and one assist through 20 contests. He's added 52 shots on net and a plus-6 rating, and he'll carry some fantasy value as long as he plays on the top line.

Burke scored a goal on four shots and had one block in Saturday's 6-2 win over Montreal.

Burke, who was called up from AHL Henderson earlier this week, skated on the fourth line, which contributed a pair of goals in the win. He potted his first NHL tally as part of Vegas' five-goal second period, finding an open area in the slot and burying a one-timer past Sam Montembeault. Burke was added to the roster after the Golden Knights placed Mark Stone (lower body) on injured reserve.

Cirelli scored twice and had eight shots Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Stars.

Both goals were off rebounds from in tight. Cirelli is on a five-game goal streak (six goals, two assists), and he has eight goals and 13 assists in 19 games this season. He has been underestimated since his junior days and proving to all that he's more than a shutdown pivot. Cirelli is almost halfway to his career-high 45 points, which he set last season in 79 games. He has also stepped up his game at the circle this season, and he's on his way to his first 600 faceoff win season.

Hertl scored a goal on three shots, adding two blocks and one hit to his line in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

Hertl was wide open after several Montreal defenders bit on a pump fake by Brayden McNabb, who fed Hertl for the game's first goal. It looked like Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault was screened and couldn't see McNabb's pass. The tally was Hertl's eighth to go along with nine assists, 45 shots and two PIM through 21 outings.

Rooney scored a goal in a 4-3 shootout win over the Wild on Saturday.

Rooney put the Flames up 1-0 at the 15:00 mark of the first period with a great tip over Filip Gustavsson's right pad. The 31-year-old Rooney has two goals in 13 games this season in a fourth-line role. He has played 273 NHL games for the Devils, Rangers and Flames over nine seasons. He has no fantasy merit, but he's living his dream.

Sharangovich scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Minnesota.

Last year's 31-goal scorer has had a rough start to 2024-25, but he has collected two goals, three points and 11 shots in his past two games. Both of his markers have come on the power play. Sharangovich needs this little run to be a fresh start -- he has just four goals and one assist in 14 games this season.

Pospisil scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.

Pospisil put the Flames up 2-1 on the power play late in the second period when he redirected Nazem Kadri's slap pass past Filip Gustavsson's outstretched pad. The 25-year-old Pospisil ended his 19-game goal drought with his second tally of 2024-25. It's been a productive week for him, as he also snapped a 15-game point slump with an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders. Pospisil isn't as good as his three-game, five-point streak to start the season, but he's not as bad as his recent struggles. Wait to see what Pospisil can do over the next week before considering him as a waiver-wire option.
