  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Two goals in shootout loss

    Draisaitl scored twice on six shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kings.

    Draisaitl had the Oilers' first two tallies of the contest, but neither lead he created was able to last. The 30-year-old superstar is up to six goals and 11 points over his last eight outings. For the season, he's racked up 23 goals, 63 points, 128 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 45 appearances.

  • Blues' Robert Thomas: Goal, assist in loss

    Thomas scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Thomas was in on both of the Blues' goals for his first multi-point effort since Dec. 27. This was also just his second goal in his last nine outings. The playmaking center is up to 11 goals, 33 points (nine on the power play), 60 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 42 appearances.

    Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Finds twine in win

    Eichel scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

    Eichel has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. His tally Saturday put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 early in the second period. The star center is up to 14 goals, 46 points, 132 shots on net, a plus-5 rating, 21 hits and 24 blocked shots through 36 appearances. Eichel should be a fixture in most fantasy lineups for his lofty scoring potential.

    Wild's Ben Jones: Scores for first NHL point

    Jones scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Jones, a seventh-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2017, has finally joined the ranks of NHL scorers. He opened the scoring Saturday at 2:51 of the first period with his first career goal and point, coming in his 49th appearance. The 26-year-old has added 19 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-5 rating over 21 contests with the Wild this season. Jones looks to have a chance to play regularly as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is out.

  • Islanders' Casey Cizikas: Nets shortie in win

    Cizikas scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    Cizikas tied the game with 26 seconds left in the second period, and that goal ultimately forced overtime. The 34-year-old has four points over his last three games, but he went 11 contests without getting on the scoresheet prior to that. The veteran center is at six goals, 12 points, 32 shots on net, 96 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances this season, mainly in a fourth-line role.

  • Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Credited with goal

    Pageau scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    The Islanders' first goal was officially an own goal by the Wild, with Pageau getting the credit for the last touch. It was his first goal since Nov. 13 versus the Golden Knights, and he's logged just four helpers over 19 contests between tallies. The veteran center is up to seven goals, 17 points, 37 shots on net, 50 hits, 38 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 37 appearances. Pageau is playing on the third line, and while he can chip in some depth scoring, he's far from a reliable player in fantasy.

    Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Scores PP goal Saturday

    Larkin scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens. He also added an even-strength assist.

    Larkin gave the Red Wings a 2-0 lead midway through the second period with a snap shot. It was his 23rd goal of the campaign, and he'd later add an assist on Andrew Copp's empty-netter in the final frame. Larkin has cracked the scoresheet in five of the Red Wings' last five games and is up to 42 points (23 goals, 19 assists) in 46 contests this season.

  • Andrew Copp C | DET

    Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Post empty-netter

    Copp scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.

    Copp found the back of the net late in the third period, as he took advantage of the Canadiens' extra attacker to fire an empty-netter. He has amassed four goals and 10 points in his last 11 outings, thanks in large part to three multi-point performances.

  • Sabres' Tage Thompson: Pots two points Saturday

    Thompson recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

    Thompson extended his point streak to three games by earning his third multi-point performance in the Sabres' last seven outings. Thompson continues to produce at a high level, earning nearly one point per game. He's up to 41 points (22 goals, 19 assists) through 43 contests this season. He should continue to find ample opportunities to produce due to his top-line role and spot on the first power-play unit.

  • Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Earns two helpers in win

    Bedard notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

    Bedard returned to action after a 12-game absence due to a shoulder injury, and he got back on the scoresheet one contest later. The 20-year-old center set up Tyler Bertuzzi's power-play tally in the second period and Nick Lardis' insurance marker in the third. Bedard is up to 46 points (19 goals, 27 helpers), 110 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 33 appearances this season. He won't be taking faceoffs for a while as his shoulder gets back to full strength, but he's clearly feeling well enough to resume being the centerpiece of Chicago's offense.
