Robidas scored two goals and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 6-5 shootout loss to Rockford on Sunday.

Robidas has six goals and three assists over his last four games. He's been pretty good all season, but this is another level for the forward. He's now at 19 goals, 34 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 33 appearances. If Robidas keeps it up, he could earn a call-up the next time the Hurricanes need a forward.

Brown logged three assists in AHL Providence's 6-2 win over Cleveland on Sunday.

Brown's offense isn't slowing down this season. He's up to 13 goals and 26 helpers over 36 appearances, putting him just seven points shy of matching his regular-season output from 56 contests last year. He's actually cooled off slightly with just one goal and four helpers over his last six outings. Brown doesn't yet appear to be in the mix for a call-up, but he's certainly done enough to receive consideration if the Bruins need a fourth-line forward.

Sillinger scored twice in AHL Cleveland's 6-2 loss to Providence on Sunday.

Sillinger earned his first multi-goal game of the season, which was just his second multi-point effort. The 28-year-old has struggled a bit this year with five goals and 16 points over 33 appearances for the Monsters. He peaked at 40 points in 69 regular-season contests in 2023-24, but Sillinger would need to make a massive improvement to reach that level in 2025-26.

Back scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Back ended an 11-game point drought with his first-period tally, but that goal was all the Stars could get past Andrei Vasilevskiy. The 25-year-old Back is up to four goals, four assists, 22 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 39 appearances. He's been a regular in the Stars' bottom six, but he doesn't offer enough offense to help in most fantasy formats.

James scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

James snapped a five-game skid with the effort. Despite the burst of offense, he still saw just 11:14 of ice time. James has been decent on the ice in a depth role, earning four goals, 10 points, 30 shots on net, 47 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 32 appearances. He won't be a factor in most fantasy formats unless he can claim a top-six role or power-play time on a regular basis.

Guentzel scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Guentzel had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. This was the third time he's avoided letting a skid reach three contests, as he and Dominic James set up each other's goals to lead the Lightning's offense Sunday. Guentzel is up to 21 goals, 49 points, 127 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 21 PIM, 20 hits and a plus-9 rating over 47 appearances. He continues to see steady time in the top six and on the first power-play unit.

Eller notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

The helper was Eller's first point in five games since he returned from a broken foot. The 36-year-old center continues to occupy a bottom-six role, which has led to limited chances on offense. He's at seven points, 27 shots on net, 25 hits and 21 blocked shots through 33 appearances -- most fantasy managers can find better production on the waiver wire.

Namestnikov notched two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Namestnikov has a goal and three helpers over five games since he was a healthy scratch Jan. 8 versus the Oilers. The 33-year-old's renewed success on offense has helped the Jets win four of those five games, picking up a total of nine standings point in that span. For the season, Namestnikov has 12 points, 57 shots on net, 60 hits, 27 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 46 outings. He will continue to occupy a middle-six role.

McMann scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

McMann continues to bounce around the lineup, but it's working for him. He has scored four goals and added three assists over his last 10 outings despite the frequent changes in linemates. McMann is up to 15 goals, 25 points, 95 shots on net, 104 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 47 appearances.

Cozens scored a power-play goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Cozens found the back of the net on a second-period power play to level Saturday's game at three goals apiece. Overall, the 24-year-old center has 14 goals, 35 points, 110 shots on net and 126 hits through 47 games this season. After missing out on the scoresheet in four consecutive games, he now has a goal in back-to-back games. His first full season with the Senators has been off to a solid start, setting him up to reach the 60-point mark for the first time since the 2022-23 season with the Sabres. His contributions on offense and steady stream of hits give him good all-around fantasy value moving forward.
