Henrique notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, five blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Since his two-helper game versus the Mammoth on Oct. 28, Henrique had gone 16 contests with just two assists and a minus-6 rating. He matched that output by assisting on both of Matt Savoie's goals in this game, one shorthanded and the other on the power play. Henrique is at nine points, 47 shots on net, 18 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 28 outings this season. He's valued for his experience and defensive acumen, but Henrique will see most of his minutes in the bottom six, limiting his scoring potential for fantasy.

Nugent-Hopkins logged three assists, including two on the power play, in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

With five points over three games since he returned from an undisclosed injury, Nugent-Hopkins has taken little time to find his form. He's earned four of those points with the man advantage. The top-six forward has six goals, 15 helpers, 13 power-play points, 28 shots on net and a minus-12 rating across 19 appearances in 2025-26.

Janmark scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Janmark got his first goal of the year Thursday. He's been heating up -- all four of his points this season have been earned in the last seven games. The 32-year-old defensive forward has added 12 shots on net, six hits, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 12 appearances in total. Janmark probably won't provide enough consistent offense to help most fantasy managers, but he plays a valuable on-ice game that keeps him in the lineup.

Hyman scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Hyman always seems to elevate his game versus Seattle -- he has 11 goals and 21 points over 16 career appearances against the Kraken, including goals in each of his last three contests in this matchup. He's starting to get a rhythm back with three points over his last three outings while playing on the top line and first power-play unit. The winger is at five points 21 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-3 rating through nine outings this season.

Savoie scored two goals, one on the power play and the other shorthanded, in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Savoie's shortie was in the second period, giving the Oilers a 4-2 lead. He added a power-play tally in the third as the Oilers looked for chances to give their top players rest in the blowout win. Savoie is seeing top-six minutes while Jack Roslovic (undisclosed) is out for the next few weeks. On the year, Savoie has five goals, nine points (three on the power play), 39 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 28 appearances. Given his current role, he may be worth a short-term look in fantasy until the Oilers' forward group is healthier.

Teravainen (face) is expected to be fine after getting bloodied by a slap shot in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Kings, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Teravainen was on the ice to help protect a lead late in the third period, and he caught an Adrian Kempe shot to the face. Head coach Jeff Blashill relayed that the winger was in a lot of pain, but it appears he's avoided a more significant injury at this time. Fantasy managers will want to double-check on his status prior to Saturday's rematch with the Kings.

Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots and added three assists in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Draisaitl's power-play goal put the Oilers ahead 3-0 in the first period. He also earned two of his three helpers with the man advantage. The 30-year-old saw an eight-game point streak snapped Tuesday against the Wild, and he responded with his best game of the year. Overall, Draisaitl has 16 goals, 19 assists, 16 power-play points, 70 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-5 rating over 28 appearances.

McDavid scored three goals on seven shots and added an assist in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Two of his goals as well as his lone assist came on the power play. McDavid had produced just a trio of three-point efforts prior to Thursday, but this outing might be the spark the Oilers' offense as a whole needed to get back on track. McDavid has still been pretty good with 14 goals, 40 points (17 on the power play), 82 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances, but he has the potential to make the remarkable look routine in any given game.

Trenin scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Trenin tied the game late in the second period, but the Flames scored three unanswered goalies in the third. With two goals and two assists over his last nine outings, Trenin is mixing in a little offense to go with his usual physical play. The 28-year-old is at two goals, seven points, 33 shots on net, 131 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 28 appearances this season.

Malkin scored two goals, including the game-winner late in the third period, and had an assist in a 4-3 victory over the Lightning on Thursday.

Malkin broke the 3-3 tie late in the third with a one-timer from the low slot off a feed from Thomas Novak. It was his seventh career go-ahead goal in the final five minutes of regulation, tying Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby for the most in franchise history. Malkin also tied Bryan Trottier for the 10th-most assists with a single franchise (853).
