Ryan Greene C | CHI
Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Opens scoring in loss
Greene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Greene has two goals over his last four contests. The 22-year-old opened the scoring Saturday, but the Bruins dominated the last two periods. Greene is up to six goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 48 appearances. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he keeps skating alongside Connor Bedard on the top line.

Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Produces pair of assists
Mittelstadt notched two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Mittelstadt earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 1 versus the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old continues to hold a second-line role, and he has two goals and six helpers over his last nine outings. He's up to 23 points, 47 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 39 appearances this season.

Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Registers two assists
Zacha posted two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Zacha continues to surge in January. He has four goals and five assists over eight contests this month. The 28-year-old center is up to 35 points (14 goals, 21 helpers), 75 shots on net, 40 hits, 24 PIM, 19 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 48 appearances. Zacha should continue to have plenty of scoring upside in a second-line role. He's on pace to push for the first 60-point campaign of his career.

Elias Lindholm C | BOS
Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Earns two helpers
Lindholm registered two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Lindholm had gone three games without a point after sustaining a lower-body injury in a Jan. 10 blowout win over the Rangers. The 31-year-old didn't miss a contest, but his offense has slipped since then. He's up to 32 points (eight goals, 24 helpers), 61 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 29 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 39 outings in a top-line role.

Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Pots another goal
Khusnutdinov scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Khusnutdinov has scored in consecutive contests and is up to six goals and three assists over eight outings in January. The 23-year-old continues to see his even-strength minutes on the top line, which has certainly helped him achieve more scoring success. He's at 11 goals, 22 points, 47 shots on net, 22 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 44 games this season.

Matthew Gard C | PHI
Flyers' Matthew Gard: Tallies twice in WHL win
Gard scored two goals in WHL Seattle's 5-3 win over Portland on Saturday.
Gard was traded to Seattle from Red Deer on Jan. 2. He's clicked with his new team, picking up three goals and two assists over five games with the Thunderbirds after posting just 10 points in 23 outings with the Rebels. The Flyers prospect appears to have just needed a change of scenery to unlock his offense.

Trevor Zegras C | PHI
Flyers' Trevor Zegras: Scoring slows during team skid
Zegras had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
Zegras has gone as the Flyers have gone lately. The team has lost six in a row (0-5-1), and Zegras has just three points (one goal, two assists) in that span. He does have 16 shots over that stretch, but look closely, and you'll find he put up seven in a single game. Zegras has 44 points, including 19 goals, and 107 shots in 47 games. His previous best came in 2022-23 when he delivered 65 points (23 goals, 42 assists) in 81 games.

Mika Zibanejad C | NYR
Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Records drop like flies
Zibanejad had a hat trick in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
He set all sorts of records Saturday. It was Zibanejad's 10th career hat trick and his ninth with the Rangers, tying Bill Cook for the franchise record. One of his goals came on the power play, which brought Zibanejad up to 117 career regular-season goals with the man advantage as a member of the Rangers. Zibanejad is now ahead of Camille Henry and Chris Kreider for the most in team history. Zibanejad also has 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) during an eight-game point streak.

Cole Guttman C | LA
Kings' Cole Guttman: Two goals in AHL win
Guttman scored twice in AHL Ontario's 4-3 win over Texas on Saturday.
Guttman didn't get a chance to play after earning a call-up to the Kings on Jan. 8, but he's certainly earned the opportunity. He's now at 11 goals and 26 points over 34 appearances this season. That includes six goals and four assists over his last eight outings.

Ryan Suzuki C | CAR
Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Nets two goals for Wolves
Suzuki scored twice in AHL Chicago's 5-2 win over Rockford on Saturday.
Suzuki had gone six games without a goal, though he had five assists in that span. The center is at six goals, 24 points and a plus-10 rating over 33 appearances this season. Suzuki's offense is a little worse than last year, when he had 59 points in 69 regular-season contests, so a call-up to the NHL doesn't seem likely any time soon.
