Trenin scored a goal and added six hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

Trenin snapped an 11-game drought with his tally. The 29-year-old has moved into a full-time spot on the fourth line now that the Wild's forward group is at full health. His scoring contributions are likely to be limited, though he's at 15 points this season, matching his total from 76 regular-season contests last year. Trenin has added 58 shots on net, 267 hits, 30 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 54 appearances.

Eriksson Ek scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

Eriksson Ek recorded both points in the third period. He scored to get the Wild within a goal and then set up Jared Spurgeon's tying tally with 2:02 left in regulation. Eriksson Ek has three points over his last two games and looks to be back up to speed after a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury. For the season, the center has 13 goals, 35 points, 141 shots on net, 74 hits and a plus-15 rating through 48 appearances in a top-six role.

Gard scored twice in WHL Seattle's 7-3 win over Brandon on Tuesday.

Gard's already earned eight points in nine games for the Thunderbirds, just two shy of his 23-game total with Red Deer before a January trade. The Flyers prospect has a total of 18 points in 32 outings, which is a slightly better pace than his 36-point effort in 66 regular-season contests in 2024-25. Momentum is on his side as he plays a big role for the Thunderbirds, which should propel him to career-best production.

McMann had a goal, an assist and two hits in a 7-4 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday.

McMann is on a modest three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists) with 11 shots and seven hits. His deployment on the top line is the sole reason for his fantasy success. Don't get us wrong -- he's talented enough, but playing with Auston Matthews is like manna from the heavens.

Domi scored a goal and added two assists in a 7-4 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday.

Domi's point streak stands at a modest three games and five points (two goals, three assists), and he has eight points, including three goals, in his last six games. Domi's time on the top line continues, and that makes him a valuable fantasy asset. He has 13 shots in his last six games.

Fabbri scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Fabbri has been out of the lineup more often than not for most of January, but injuries are piling up for the Blues' forward group. This was his third time in the lineup in the last four games, and he responded with his first goal of the season. The 30-year-old winger is now at four points, 14 shots on net, 24 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances. Even if Fabbri carves out consistent playing time, it's likely to come in a bottom-six role.

Matthews had a goal and two assists in a 7-4 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. He fired three shots.

Matthews got back on the scoresheet after a three-game quiet stretch. The center looks every part the superstar, but his team is in a free fall without a chute -- they went 0-4-1 on a five-game homestand. Matthews cannot carry this team alone, despite being the most exciting offensive player to ever slip the blue-and-white over his head.

Schenn scored two goals on four shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Schenn has racked up three goals over the last two games after going nine contests without scoring. The 34-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 22 points, 75 shots on net, 115 hits, 45 PIM and a minus-24 rating through 53 appearances. Schenn could carry some fantasy value if this hot stretch is here to stay. He's currently in a top-line role in place of Robert Thomas (lower body). Thomas was ruled out for two weeks as of Jan. 15, but it's possible the Blues will keep him out through the Olympic break if he hasn't made progress in his recovery.

Thompson had a goal and an assist in a 7-4 victory over Toronto on Tuesday.

His scoring streak now stands at four games and five points, including three goals, and seven shots. Thompson been dominant in January. He has been held off the scoresheet just twice in 13 games, and he's scored eight goals and added 10 helpers. It's not Nikita Kucherov dominant, but it's impressive.

Duchene scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Duchene has three goals over the last two games. He's earned nine points over 13 contests in January, which has helped him get his scoring pace on track. Duchene has a total of seven goals, 14 points, 41 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 28 appearances this season. He's in a middle-six role for now, but he would likely move up into a more prominent spot if a key forward became unavailable.
