Gaudreau recorded two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Gaudreau has his first multi-point effort as a member of the Kraken after setting up third-period tallies by Kaapo Kakko and Berkly Catton. The 32-year-old Gaudreau has been flexing his versatility lately, drawing some power-play time while playing on the right wing at even strength in a second-line role. He's up to 11 points, 30 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 28 appearances this season. Gaudreau has earned nine of his points since the start of December.

Beniers notched two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Beniers has opened January with five points (three goals, two assists) over four games. The center helped out on tallies by Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann in this high-scoring victory. Beniers is up to seven goals, 19 helpers, eight power-play points, 76 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 41 appearances in a top-six role.

Meyers scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Meyers has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. He's finding ways to contribute from the fourth line, which has kept him in the lineup for every game since Dec. 10. The 27-year-old forward is now at four goals, eight points, 34 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-2 rating over 23 outings this season. Meyers' scoring isn't enough to get him on the radar in fantasy, but his spot in the lineup looks to be secure for now.

McCann scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

McCann extended his point streak to five games (three goals, three assists) with this effort. The 29-year-old set up Berkly Catton's first NHL tally early in the second period before scoring a buzzer-beater on the power play to end that frame. McCann is up to eight goals, 14 points (five on the power play), 43 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating across 17 outings this season. As long as he can stay healthy, he should be productive for fantasy managers -- his most recent return from a lower-body injury has breathed some life into the Kraken's offense over the last couple of weeks.

Catton scored twice, including once on the power play, and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Catton ended a nine-game point drought with the effort, a span that was interrupted by him missing eight games due to an upper-body injury. It took him 28 contests to join the ranks of NHL goal-scorers, though it was just over another period before he tallied a second time as part of the Kraken's surge in the third. The 19-year-old has seven points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances this season. Catton is in a third-line role, and he still has ample value in dynasty formats, though he's unlikely to be a factor in redraft leagues in 2025-26.

Monahan scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

Monahan missed four games due to an undisclosed injury, which is believed to be stemming from something he's been playing through for most of the campaign. In his first contest back, he snapped an 11-game goal drought. Monahan has struggled a bit this year with six goals, 20 points, 69 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-4 rating over 38 appearances, but it makes sense that his production is down since he's been at less than 100 percent. He'll likely handle middle-six minutes moving forward as long as he can avoid aggravating the injury.

Ostapchuk scored a goal on four shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Ostapchuk has scored twice over his last four games. He's been over 10 minutes of ice time in four of the last seven contests, including a season-high 12:25 in Tuesday's game after Ty Dellandrea (lower body) left the contest early. Ostapchuk now has three points, 19 shots on net, 55 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances this season in a fourth-line role.

Celebrini scored an empty-net goal on five shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Celebrini's point streak was on the line late, and the empty-netter sufficed to extend the heater to 11 games (eight goals, 21 points). The 19-year-old superstar has surpassed his rookie-year total with his 64th point in 2025-26. He's at 23 goals, 41 helpers, 136 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating over 42 appearances, and he needs just two more tallies to match his total from last season in that category. He'd have to hit a brutal slump or suffer a significant injury to fall short of the 100-point mark in just his second campaign.

Wennberg scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Wennberg got on the scoresheet in each period in one of his best performances of the season. This was the first game since he signed a three-year contract extension, which cements his status as a veteran leader for the young Sharks while also rewarding his strong play this season. He's now at eight goals, 29 points (seven on the power play), 50 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances. Wennberg is on pace to top the 50-point mark for the first time since 2016-17, when he had a career-best 59 points in 80 appearances.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.

O'Reilly ended a five-game goal drought when he got the Predators on the board in the third period. The veteran center had been limited to three assists over those five contests, though he's still been steadier recently than he was in November. He's up to 12 goals, 36 points, 74 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 42 appearances this season, mainly in a top-line role.
