  • Sean Monahan C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Shortie in second straight

    Monahan scored a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

    The tally tied the game at 2-2 early in the second period, as Monahan's toe-drag let enough traffic build up in front of Justus Annunen that he was able to pinball a shot home. Monahan has two shorties on the season, and they've come in the last two games as he begins to regain something close to his 2024-25 form. Over the last 12 contests, the veteran center has scored six of his 12 goals on the season.

  • Ethen Frank C | WAS

    Capitals' Ethen Frank: Secures two-year extension

    Frank inked a two-year, $4 million contract extension with Washington on Wednesday.

    Frank is currently mired in a 13-game goal drought during which he recorded three assists, 15 shots and 16 blocks while averaging 12:49 of ice time. The 28-year-old winger has set new personal bests in games played (52), goals (11) and assists (12) this season and should continue to be a presence in the Caps' bottom-six.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Earns 200th career point

    Lundell scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Devils.

    Lundell's goal was the 200th point of his career. The Finnish forward is up to 17 goals, 43 points, 130 shots on net, 72 hits, 35 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 58 appearances. Lundell has earned two goals and five helpers over his last six outings and continues to offer steady offense in a top-six role.

  • Cody Glass C | NJ

    Devils' Cody Glass: Gets goal in Tuesday's win

    Glass scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

    Glass ended an eight-game goal drought with the tally. He had just one assist in that span. The 26-year-old has filled a third-line role lately, and his limited ice time makes it tough to rely on him for steady offense. He's put together a decent campaign with 14 goals, 20 points, 84 shots on net, 33 hits, 28 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 49 appearances. That's fine production for his role, but it's not really enough to move the needle in most fantasy formats.

  • Jake Evans C | MON

    Canadiens' Jake Evans: Notches pair of assists

    Evans logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Sharks.

    Evans has three points over his last two games. The 29-year-old forward continues to play a key defensive role for the Canadiens. While listed in the bottom six, Evans and Phillip Danault often handle tough matchups that elevate their ice-time totals. Evans is up to 16 points, 50 shots on net, 50 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 46 outings overall.

  • Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Tips in goal

    Danault scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Sharks.

    Danault got a piece of a Mike Matheson shot for the Canadiens' second goal. This was Danault's second tally in the last four contests. The 33-year-old center is up to four goals, 15 points, 74 shots on net, 42 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 54 appearances between the Canadiens and the Kings this season. Danault's defensive work will keep him in the lineup, but he's only good for modest offense most of the time.

  • Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Opens scoring in loss

    Kapanen scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Sharks.

    Kapanen saw just 9:55 of ice time in this contest, continuing a downward trend in his usage since the Olympic break. The 22-year-old has a second-line spot on the depth chart, but Phillip Danault and Jake Evans are likely to be leaned on more as shutdown centers in close games. Kapanen has three goals over his last six games, and the 22-year-old is up to 19 tallies, 32 points, 106 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 60 appearances this season.

  • Alex Newhook C | MON

    Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Scores twice in loss

    Newhook scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Sharks.

    Newhook had a breakout campaign in the works before a long-term ankle injury, and he has picked up where he left off while notching four points over three games since his return. The 25-year-old forward is up to eight goals, 16 points, 28 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-9 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's in a bottom-six role for now, though he's also seeing power-play time, so there is still a bit of upside.

  • Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Fills empty cage

    Gaudette scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Canadiens.

    Gaudette had been scratched for the first three games coming out of the Olympic break. He returned to the lineup with a goal, potting the empty-netter to fend off the Canadiens late. Gaudette has 14 goals, 21 points, 69 shots on net, 41 hits, 17 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 46 appearances this season. He's in a part-time role but offers some scoring upside when the Sharks are facing weaker goalies or defenses.

  • Sharks' Michael Misa: Goals in three straight games

    Misa scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Canadiens.

    This was Misa's third straight game with a goal, and he's earned five points over his last four outings. The 19-year-old looks to be getting more comfortable in a middle-six role for the Sharks, though his ice time is still often limited. Misa has five goals, 13 points, 30 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 22 appearances as a rookie.
