Frost scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Frost scored the go-ahead goal 55 seconds into the second period. The 26-year-old hasn't assembled a point streak in November, but he has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The goal Friday was also his first power-play point of the month. For the season, the center is at six goals, 14 points, 50 shots on net, 14 PIM, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 26 appearances.

Turcotte scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Turcotte was scratched Monday versus the Senators, and it may have sparked his play. The 24-year-old snapped his 11-game point drought upon his return to the lineup, and he earned 13:27 of ice time. The Kings have struggled to get much out of their centers this year, with Turcotte and Phillip Danault in particular struggling. Turcotte is at one goal, three assists, 19 shots on net, 13 PIM and a minus-3 rating while primarily playing on the fourth line through 23 appearances.

Bolduc recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Bolduc has been on a tear of late and has recorded back-to-back multi-point performances while also tallying six total points (two goals, four assists) over his last four games. That comes after a nine-game stretch in which he didn't record a single point, though. That lack of consistency makes Bolduc hard to trust in most formats, even if he owns a steady top-six role in Montreal's lineup.

Gaudette scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Gaudette was the hero for the Sharks on Friday, as he netted the game-winning goal at the 15:17 mark of the second period with a slick backhander. Gaudette has six goals on the season, and while he has a steady role as a top-six forward, he doesn't do enough in fantasy to be considered a worthwhile roster addition in most formats. He has seven points in 21 games on the season and has cracked the 25-point plateau just twice in his career.

Smith scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Smith found the back of the net at 9:25 of the first period with a wrister, giving him his first goal since Nov. 11 -- and his eighth on the season. The 20-year-old promising playmaker is expected to go through ups and downs, but he seems to be turning things around after cracking the scoresheet in four of his last six appearances.

Pettersson scored a goal and had five shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

Pettersson found the back of the net with a wrister at the 3:04 mark of the second period, a goal that would give the Canucks a temporary 2-1 lead. Pettersson has been playing at a high level of late and has cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last eight appearances, tallying 11 points (five goals, six assists) in that span.

Zegras scored a power-play goal in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.

Zegras found the back of the net with a wrister at 1:55 of the second period, giving the Flyers a 3-0 lead, although they'd have to fight back and earn the win in the shootout. Zegras has eight goals and 14 assists in 23 games this season. If he can keep this pace, he would be in line to post career-best numbers in both goals and points -- as long as he stays healthy throughout the campaign.

Sundqvist scored his first goal of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

The veteran checking-line center opened the scoring midway through the second period by jumping on a loose puck at the side of the Ottawa net and banking it in off the back of Leevi Merilainen. It was Sundqvist's first regular-season tally since March 16 of last season, snapping a 28-game drought, but he's been fairly productive to begin 2025-26 with 10 points in just 16 contests.

Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will return to the lineup against Seattle.

Nugent-Hopkins missed nine games with the injury. He is slated to line up on the third unit with Adam Henrique and Mattias Janmark, as well as seeing first power-play time. Nugent-Hopkins had five goals and 16 points in 16 appearances, includig nine points on the power play, before he was injured.

Zacha (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Detroit on Saturday, according to Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal.

Zacha revealed that he missed Friday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers after suffering an injury on a faceoff against the Islanders on Wednesday. The 28-year-old forward has compiled five goals, 17 points, 38 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 26 hits across 25 appearances this season.
