  • Oilers' Jack Roslovic: Goals in consecutive contests

    Roslovic scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Roslovic has scored in back-to-back games after going scoreless in his first three contests back from an undisclosed injury. He's up to 12 goals, 20 points, 65 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances. He's filling a middle-six role and a spot on the second power-play unit and should remain a productive depth forward in fantasy.

    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Tallies in Wednesday's loss

    Hyman scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Hyman continued a surge of goal-scoring with his 10th goal and 16th point over the last 11 games. The 33-year-old got the Oilers on the board late in the first period, but the momentum didn't carry over into the middle stanza. Hyman is up to 12 goals, 22 points, 64 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-4 rating across 22 appearances this season.

  • Bruins' Fraser Minten: Pockets pair of helpers

    Minten logged two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Minten matched his offensive output from the last nine games combined with this effort. He helped out on goals by Hampus Lindholm and David Pastrnak in Wednesday's win. Minten has been a steady third-line center for the Bruins to keep them in the mix in the ultra-competitive Atlantic Division. In his first full NHL campaign, he's collected 15 points, 47 shots on net, 85 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 41 appearances, and he could improve as he gets more comfortable in the second half.

  • Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Buries goal Wednesday

    Mittelstadt scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Mittelstadt ended a six-game goal drought, a span in which he had just one assist, with a tally at 18:13 of the first period. The 27-year-old forward continues to see top-six minutes despite his lack of steady offense. He's up to nine goals, 16 points, 35 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 31 appearances this season, primarily from the second line.

  • Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Pair of points in win

    Lindholm scored a goal on two shots, supplied a power-play assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

    Lindholm's third-period tally ended his eight-game goal drought. He had also gone four contests without a point prior to this effort. The 31-year-old center is up to six goals, 25 points, 51 shots on net, 30 PIM, 26 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 31 appearances. He's earned 13 of his points with the man advantage and should continue to have stable offense as long as he remains productive in that situation.

  • Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Deposits power-play tally

    Sharangovich scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

    Sharangovich has two goals over his last three outings. This was his first power-play contribution since Oct. 30 versus the Senators, as he's struggled to get offense going in any situation this year. He's up to eight goals, five helpers, 64 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 36 contests overall. Sharangovich is in a top-six role, but he can't be trusted in fantasy until he shows more consistency.

  • Flames' Mikael Backlund: Opens scoring in win

    Backlund scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

    Backlund ended 2025 on a high note, racking up five goals and four assists during a six-game point streak. The 36-year-old center opened the scoring at 13:30 of the first period. He's having a strong year, but it would be a lot to ask of him to stay on a 50-point pace in the second half. He's at 10 goals, 25 points, 94 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 40 appearances this season, but his 10.6 shooting percentage is his highest since 2016-17.

  • Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau: Finds twine in win

    Huberdeau scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

    Huberdeau put up four goals and four assists over 13 outings in December. The 32-year-old's tally Wednesday was the game-winner, ending a three-game slump. He's up to eight goals, 20 points, 54 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 22 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 35 appearances. He's on pace to miss the 50-point mark for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign, when he was limited to 31 games.

  • Connor Zary C | CGY

    Flames' Connor Zary: Pair of points in win

    Zary scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

    Zary was listed in a top-six role but frequently bounced between there and the fourth line, which is the unit he was on when he scored his goal. The 24-year-old has two goals and five helpers over his last seven outings, but he still doesn't appear to have the full trust of head coach Ryan Huska. For the season, Zary's at six goals, 13 points (three on the power play), 48 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances.

  • Brock Nelson C | COL

    Avalanche's Brock Nelson: One of each Wednesday

    Nelson scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

    The helper was the 300th of Nelson's career. He's earned four goals and five assists over his last seven outings, a span that includes four power-play points. For the season, the veteran center is up to 16 goals, 30 points (seven on the power play), 76 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 39 appearances in a second-line role.
