Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Extends goal streak Tuesday
Fantilli scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Predators.
Fantilli has scored in four straight contests while earning four goals and three assists during a five-game streak. The 21-year-old center continues to show growth in his third NHL campaign. He's up to 17 goals, 42 points, 157 shots on net, 99 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 60 appearances. He's on pace to top the 54-point campaign he had in all 82 games a year ago, and his recent play suggests he is poised to finish strong.

Rangers' Adam Edstrom: Closing in on return
Edstrom (lower body) took part in rushes as a member of the fourth line during Wednesday's practice, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
Edstrom might be ready to return for Thursday's game against Toronto. However, he would need to be activated off LTIR before rejoining the lineup. Edstrom has two goals, four points, two PIM and 48 hits in 24 appearances in 2025-26. He hasn't played since Nov. 29 because of the injury.

Raphael Lavoie C | LV
Golden Knights' Raphael Lavoie: Sent down Wednesday
Lavoie was sent to AHL Henderson on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Lavoie recorded a hit in 8:34 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Buffalo after being recalled from the minors. He'll head back to the minors a day later after the Golden Knights acquired Cole Smith from Nashville on Tuesday.

Ben Jones C | MIN
Wild's Ben Jones: Sent to AHL
Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Jones spent just over a week with Minnesota, but he didn't appear in any games during his stint with the NHL club. He should see more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors, where he's recorded five goals, 11 assists and 12 PIM over 18 appearances with Iowa this year.

Mark Scheifele C | WPG
Jets' Mark Scheifele: Three points in OT win
Scheifele scored a goal, added two assists and recorded six shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Scheifele cracked the scoresheet after going pointless in the Jets' last two contests, and he also snapped a five-game goalless skid when he netted the game-winner at the 2:06 mark in overtime. Scheifele has 28 goals and 45 assists on the season, giving him 73 points across 60 appearances.

Teuvo Teravainen C | CHI
Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Scores once again
Teravainen scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Teravainen has been on a roll of late and has cracked the scoresheet in each of his last four appearances. He had three goals and two assists over that stretch. Teravainen has generated 13 goals, 28 points and 68 shots on net through 54 contests this season.

Ryan Greene C | CHI
Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Pots goal Tuesday
Greene scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Greene found the back of the net with his lone shot Tuesday, but he's not known for his scoring prowess. In fact, this was the first time he scored a goal since Jan. 23, and he's recorded multiple shots in just two of his last 11 games. Despite holding a top-six role in the lineup, Greene hasn't been a very productive fantasy contributor in recent weeks.

Wyatt Johnston C | DAL
Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Another two-point effort
Johnston recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.
Johnston didn't crack the scoresheet in the 6-1 win over the Canucks on Monday, but he continued his torrid scoring pace Tuesday with another multi-point effort. He has recorded two or more points in three of his last four games and is up to 65 points (33 goals, 32 assists) across 61 appearances in 2025-26. He's on pace to establish a new career-high mark in points and already tied his previous best in goals with 33, which he established in the 2024-25 regular season.

Sam Steel C | DAL
Stars' Sam Steel: Three points in win
Steel recorded two goals, an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.
Steel has recorded multi-point performances in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The winger has been outstanding of late and has taken full advantage of the Stars' red-hot play. He has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last nine outings, tallying 10 points (three goals, seven assists). If he remains a productive member in Dallas' top six, he could make for an intriguing pickup option.

Morgan Frost C | CGY
Flames' Morgan Frost: Scores in blowout loss
Frost scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.
Frost has recorded points in back-to-back games following a four-game stretch without finding the scoresheet. However, the 26-year-old hasn't been a consistent scoring threat, and his bottom-six role doesn't boost his chances of garnering much fantasy appeal. He has 13 goals, 29 points and 100 shots on net through 60 appearances this season.
