  • Matt Duchene C | DAL

    Stars' Matt Duchene: Sniping ways continue

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Goals in three straight games

    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.

  • Golden Knights' Callahan Burke: Pots first in NHL

    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.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Goal streak now at five games

    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.

  • Tomas Hertl C | LV

    Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Opens scoring in win

    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.

  • Kevin Rooney C | CGY

    Flames' Kevin Rooney: Rare goal in shootout victoy

    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.

  • Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Goals in back-to-back games

    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.

  • Flames' Martin Pospisil: Snaps 19-game goal drought

    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.

  • Marco Rossi C | MIN

    Wild's Marco Rossi: Game taking another step forward

    Rossi scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary.

    Rossi was Mr. Clutch, scoring a five-hole goal with 34 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. He's taken the next step this season after putting up 40 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. So far, Rossi has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) and 37 shots in 20 appearances this campaign, and he's starting to contribute on the power play. His assist came with the man advantage, where he has three points in his last seven outings. He won't deliver many hits or blocks, and he's still working at improving on faceoffs, but Rossi might be on the verge of fulfilling his draft-day promise as a top-10 pick.

  • Nick Paul C | TB

    Lightning's Nick Paul: Out Saturday

    Paul (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Dallas, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

    Paul will miss his second straight game. He has five goals and 13 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Tampa Bay will dress seven defensemen Saturday, including Darren Raddysh, who was a healthy scratch Thursday against Columbus. Paul's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Avalanche.
