McTavish notched a goal and took four shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

McTavish has been inconsistent with his scoring production, but he seems to be turning a corner after finding the twine in three of his last five outings. The 22-year-old playmaker has a good shot at reaching the 50-point plateau for a second straight campaign if he stays healthy, and his role as the center of the first line should continue to give him plenty of opportunities to produce. McTavish has 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 49 contests so far in 2025-26.

Bedard scored an empty-net goal and fired three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over the Jets.

Bedard's empty-net tally with just over a minute left to play in Tuesday's contest was his first goal in five games since returning to Chicago's lineup from a shoulder injury. Overall, the 20-year-old phenom is up to 20 goals, 48 points and 122 shots on net across 36 games this season. While the injury led to a hit in his overall production compared to the league's other stars, he is ninth in the NHL with 1.33 points per game. Additionally, he hasn't relied heavily on the power play for offensive production, as just 14 of his 48 points have come with the man advantage. Despite already missing 13 games this season, he is still on pace to surpass his career high of 67 points, which was set across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Dickinson scored a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over Winnipeg.

Dickinson's tally over halfway into the second period would stand as the go-ahead goal in Monday's contest, with goalie Spencer Knight keeping Winnipeg off the scoreboard. With the twine finder, Dickinson is up to six goals, 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits and 27 blocks through 36 games this season. While he has supplied four goals since Dec. 16, his offensive production has taken a step back from the consecutive 30-plus point regular seasons that he posted to begin his tenure in Chicago three campaigns ago. He still has time to reach the 20-point mark this year, but his lack of high-end category coverage likely leaves more desirable options available in deep fantasy leagues.

Hertl scored a power-play goal and fired two shots on net in Monday's 2-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Hertl kept the Golden Knights from being shut out with his power-play tally late in the second period. The 32-year-old center is now up to a three-game point streak and a run of play with 13 points over his last eight games. Overall, he has 20 goals, 43 points, 126 shots on net, 57 hits and 23 blocks through 48 outings this season. The 13-year veteran has ramped up his quality of play as of late and is back on track for the fifth 60-plus point regular season of his career. While he's been bumped down to a third-line role with Mitch Marner sliding into the second-line center spot amidst multiple injuries, Hertl hasn't lost much playing time, and he remains a strong fantasy option in most standard leagues.

Dach (foot) was activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Minnesota, per the NHL media site.

Dach is set to suit up for the first time since Nov. 15 versus the Bruins, a stretch of 31 games on the shelf due to his foot problem. With his injury concerns behind him, Dach figures to step into a top-six role and should see minutes with the man advantage.

Kadri scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Devils.

Kadri represented all the offense the Flames could muster in this game after notching a goal midway through the second period. The marker snapped a 13-game scoring drought for the 35-year-old playmaker, whose last goal had come Dec. 18. Kadri remains a valuable offensive weapon for the Flames, and he seems to be trending in the right direction after cracking the scoresheet in the Flames' last two contests.

Mercer scored a goal with his lone shot in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Mercer enjoyed an excellent start to the campaign with eight goals and 13 points over his first 12 regular-season contests. However, the winger has cooled off considerably since then and has been limited to only 16 points (five goals, 11 helpers) in his subsequent 37 appearances. Mercer will continue to have opportunities to produce, especially given that he's posted three points over his last four games, but the overall drop in production since that hot start has limited his appeal in most formats.

Misa picked up two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over Florida.

Both helpers came in the second period, as Misa helped set up tallies by Vincent Desharnais and Mario Ferraro. The points were the first in four games for Misa since rejoining the Sharks from the World Juniors, and on the season, the second overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft has a goal and five points in 11 contests.

Winterton collected two assists in Monday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

It was the first career multi-point performance in the NHL for the 22-year-old. Winterton has carved out a regular spot in the bottom six this season, and he's begun to contribute offensively as well -- he has three goals and 12 points in 46 games on the campaign, but over half that production (one goal, six assists) has come in the last 12 contests.

Meyers produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Meyers, and only the second of his career -- the other came with the Avs back on Apr. 6, 2023. Despite his bottom-six role, Meyers has contributed a little offense too in January, picking up three goals and five points in 10 games to account for half his scoring on the season.
