  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Four-game, five-point streak

    McMann scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Panthers.

    McMann now has points in four straight games (two goals, three assists). Remarkably, the winger has 13 goals so far, and that has him fourth on the team goal list. He's just one behind William Nylander (14) and two behind John Tavares (15). McMann is a worthy fantasy play right now, especially given his plum role beside Auston Matthews at even strength.

  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Three-point effort in win

    Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

    Draisaitl had gone four games without a goal before lighting the lamp in the third period. He's scored in just four of his last 16 games, earning six goals, 23 assists and 53 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old superstar is up to 21 goals, 60 points, 120 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 43 appearances. He's not on pace to match his career-best 128-point campaign from 2022-23, but he could get close to that mark with a strong second half.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Paces offense with hat trick

    McDavid scored three goals on 10 shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

    McDavid had the Oilers' first two goals -- a power-play tally in the first period and a penalty shot in the second. He also closed out the scoring at 19:03 of the third to earn his second hat trick of the campaign. His other hatty started his active 16-game point streak, a span in which his offense has taken off with 17 goals and 22 assists, including 18 power-play points. The superstar center is now at 28 goals, 75 points (32 on the power play), 161 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 43 contests this season.

  • Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: First goal in nine games

    Verhaeghe scored a goal in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

    It was his first goal in nine games and first point in eight. Verhaeghe has 12 goals, 17 assists and 95 shots this season, which puts him on pace for 58 points this season. It looks like last season's 53-point campaign may not be the outlier many thought it was.

  • Sharks' Ty Dellandrea: Sustains apparent lower-body injury

    Dellandrea will not return to Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets due to an apparent lower-body injury.

    Max Miller of NHL.com reports Dellandrea couldn't put weight on his right leg coming off the ice after a collision near the Blue Jackets' crease. Pending more information, Dellandrea can be considered day-to-day, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss Wednesday's game versus the Kings.

  • Oilers' Adam Henrique: Set to miss time

    Henrique (undisclosed) is set to miss a little time after getting hurt in Tuesday's game versus the Predators, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

    Henrique doesn't have an official status, but he will be out for at least some time. The Oilers will put either Trent Frederic or Andrew Mangiapane back into the lineup while Henrique is out, and Matt Savoie will join Jack Roslovic and Isaac Howard in Henrique's spot.

  • Brock Nelson C | COL

    Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Six-game, nine-point streak

    Nelson scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

    Nelson is riding a six-game, nine-point scoring streak that includes five goals. He has 19 goals overall, which puts him in a tie with Martin Necas for second on the team. Nelson is on pace for 37 goals this season. That would equal his career mark set on Long Island in 2021-22.

  • Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Gets first goal in 19 games

    Girgensons scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Colorado.

    It was his first goal in 19 games. Girgensons has just six goals, two assists and 98 hits in 35 games. He leads the Bolts in hits and has put up hits in all but one of those games. Girgensons plays an important on-ice role in the Bolts' bottom six, but his fantasy value is limited.

  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Three-game, five-point streak

    Guentzel scored a power-play goal in a 4-2 win over Colorado on Tuesday.

    Guentzel is on a three-game, five-point scoring streak (one goal, four assists), and he has put up a power-play point in each of those games (one goal, two assists). He sits second in team scoring with 44 points (19 goals, 25 assists) in 42 games, which puts him on pace for a potential 86-point season. That would be a career mark for Guentzel, whose best year came in Pittsburgh in 2021-22.

  • Noah Philp C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Noah Philp: Gets dinged up Tuesday

    Philp sustained an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Stars, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

    Philp was reportedly dinged up in the second period and couldn't finish the contest. The 27-year-old forward was in just his second game for the Hurricanes since they claimed him off waivers from the Oilers. Philp can be considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's game versus the Ducks.
