  • Luke Kunin C | FLA

    Panthers' Luke Kunin: Gets tying goal in comeback win

    Kunin scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    Kunin snapped an 11-game point drought with the tally. He also missed five games as a healthy scratch during that time. The 28-year-old has filled a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup, earning just three points with 19 shots on net, 52 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Pots another goal

    Bennett scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    Bennett has three goals and two assists during his current four-game point streak. The 29-year-old center has earned 14 points over 12 outings in December, putting him at 13 goals, 13 helpers, 92 shots on net, 74 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 36 contests this season. He should remain productive from the Panthers' second line and first power-play unit.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Game-winner in big comeback

    Lundell scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    Lundell tallied the go-ahead goal at 7:00 of the third period, and it stood as the game-winner. Over the last 10 contests, Lundell has six goals and two assists while continuing to produce in a top-line role. He's up to 12 goals, 28 points, 81 shots on net, 42 hits, 28 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 36 appearances this season, by far the best pace of his career.

  • Bruins' Marat Khusnutdinov: Finds twine Tuesday

    Khusnutdinov scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Khusnutdinov has been trending well lately with a goal and three assists over his last five games, but he's in a bottom-six role with little consistent power-play time. The 23-year-old forward has proven himself to be a versatile option in his time with the Bruins, so he may continue to float around the lineup wherever he's needed. He's produced 12 points in just 33 outings, matching his regular-season total from 75 appearances last year. Khusnutdinov also has 35 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating this season.

  • Alex Steeves C | BOS

    Bruins' Alex Steeves: Scores on power play

    Steeves scored a power-play goal on two shots, added four PIM and logged three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Steeves remains in the power-play mix despite dropping into a bottom-six role in recent games. It'll be tough for him to sustain his success from late November and early December without more proximity to Boston's best players, but he is doing enough to stick around in the NHL. The 26-year-old is at eight goals, two helpers, 30 shots on net, 81 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 21 appearances.

  • Zack Bolduc C | MON

    Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Nets go-ahead goal

    Bolduc scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Bolduc has been getting a look on the top line recently, earning four goals over eight games while playing alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The 22-year-old Bolduc is producing at a similar rate to last year's 36-point effort in 72 regular-season appearances. He's at 10 goals, seven helpers, 56 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-5 rating over 37 appearances in 2025-26. Tuesday's goal was also his second game-winner of the campaign.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Nets game-tying goal

    Eriksson Ek scored a goal, placed four shots on net, served two PIM and had two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville.

    Eriksson Ek scored the last goal before overtime when he recorded the game-tying tally less than a minute into the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to nine goals, 27 points, 111 shots on net and 63 hits through 38 games this season. The 28-year-old center has 11 points in his last nine games while maintaining his strong two-way play style. Eriksson Ek's inclusion in the lineup has been a welcome sight for fantasy managers who drafted him after appearing in just 38 games a season ago. If he can stay healthy, he has plenty of time to reach 60-plus points and 100-plus hits in the same season for the third time in his career. His strong category coverage makes him a great player in nearly all fantasy formats moving forward.

  • Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Chips in two helpers Tuesday

    Luostarinen picked up two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    The 27-year-old winger had a hand in tallies by Niko Mikkola and Anton Lundell to help the Panthers rally from a 2-0 deficit. It was Luostarinen's first multi-point performance in 10 games since returning from a lower-body injury. He's produced three goals, 15 points, 61 hits, 43 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 28 contests this campaign.

  • Sam Reinhart C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Three helpers in comeback win

    Reinhart notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    The Panthers were down 2-0 heading into the third period before Reinhart's fourth three-point performance of 2025-26 led the comeback charge. The veteran winger is on pace to top 80 points for a third straight season and 30 goals for his fifth consecutive campaign. He has produced 19 goals and 38 points through 36 contests this year.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Stays hot in OT win

    O'Reilly scored a power-play goal, tallied a power-play assist, put two shots on goal and served two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Minnesota.

    O'Reilly played a hand in both power-play goals scored by the Predators in Tuesday's opening period. He scored just shy of 15 minutes into the period before helping out on Roman Josi's tally minutes later. With the pair of points, O'Reilly is up to 11 goals, 21 assists, 61 shots on net and 24 hits through 36 games this season. The 34-year-old center has been on fire, registering 19 points in his last 14 games while posting two goals and nine helpers over an eight-game point streak. He continues to lead Nashville in points from his spot as the team's top line center alongside Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos. O'Reilly is trending toward must-roster status in all fantasy formats with his play over the last month.
