Celebrini dished a power-play assist and put two shots on target in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Celebrini extended his point streak to four games with the primary helper on John Klingberg's power-play score in the first period. With the helper, Celebrini has 19 assists, 32 points and 62 shots on goal through 22 games this season. The 19-year-old superstar has already accumulated more than half the points he needs to surpass the 63 points he had in 70 games throughout his rookie campaign. Additionally, his ice time at even strength continues to increase, giving him even more opportunities to produce at an elite level in all fantasy formats.

Goodrow tallied a goal, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Goodrow found the back of the net for the first time this season midway through the second period to give the Sharks a 2-1 lead. With the goal, the 32-year-old winger is up to two points, 18 shots on net, 33 hits and 16 blocks through 22 games this season. He should continue to see consistent minutes on the fourth line with Jeff Skinner (lower body) on IR.

Cozens scored a goal, put four shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Cozens posted a strong all-around effort Saturday, highlighted by a power-play goal in the first period to spark Ottawa's offense. With the solid performance, the 24-year-old center is up to eight goals, 16 points, 47 shots on goal and 64 hits in 21 games this season. He's helped fill the void of physicality without Brady Tkachuk (thumb) in the lineup and is on pace to smash his career high of 205 hits that he posted in 82 games between the Sabres and Senators last year. Cozens has also heated up offensively, with six points in his last six games. He is set up nicely to get back toward the 68-point mark he had with Buffalo in the 2022-23 campaign, making him a strong asset in nearly all fantasy formats.

Reinhart scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Reinhart has four goals and five assists, including a total of six power-play points, during his six-game point streak. The 30-year-old's tally brought the Panthers back within a goal, but they weren't able to find an equalizer. Reinhart remains productive in a top-six role, earning 12 goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 21 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 21 appearances for a team that has fallen short of expectations early in 2025-26.

Savoie scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Savoie ended a four-game point drought with the final tally of this contest. The 21-year-old is still listed on the top line, but his 13:47 of ice time suggests he won't be seeing much prominent usage moving forward. That lineup also included Zach Hyman on the third line, which wasn't reflected in either player's usage. Savoie has six points, 31 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances, so he should be able to challenge for at least a 20-point campaign.

McDavid scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

McDavid helped put some distance between the Oilers and the Panthers late in the third period. The 28-year superstar has seen his goal-scoring bounce back in November with seven goals and 12 assists over 12 games this month. For the year, he has 10 tallies, 33 points, 72 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 24 appearances.

Hischier scored two goals, dished out a power-play assist, fired five shots on target and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Philadelphia.

Hischier once again carried a heavy workload and did his best to keep New Jersey in the game with two straight goals across the end of the second period into the middle of the third. He also picked up a power-play assist on Timo Meier's power-play tally early in the first period. With the trio of points, Hischier is up to six goals, 10 assists, 48 shots on net and 23 blocks through 21 games this season. After a rocky start to the season offensively, Hischier has found his stride and has been a leader up the center of the ice for New Jersey. With Jack Hughes (finger) potentially sidelined into January, Hischier will likely continue to lead New Jersey's forwards in ice time, making him a reliable option in most fantasy formats.

Staal (illness) won't play against Buffalo on Sunday.

Staal will miss at least one game, but he has some time to recover ahead of Wednesday's home matchup against the Rangers. He has collected seven goals, two assists, 27 shots on net and 37 hits across 21 appearances this season. Due to Staal's absence, the Hurricanes will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Sunday's contest, with Alexander Nikishin returning to the lineup.

Zegras netted a goal and fired four shots on target in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

Zegras continues to impress with his new team this season as he placed the bow on top of a strong victory for the Flyers with a late goal Saturday. Overall, the 24-year-old winger has seven goals, 21 points and 47 shots on goal in 20 games this season. Zegras has five goals in his last four games and has revitalized his career in the Flyers' system. He's already just 12 points away from surpassing the 32 points he posted in 57 games with the Ducks last season and has a strong chance to surpass his career high of 65 points from the 2022-23 campaign. Zegras should be rostered in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Couturier had two assists and placed a shot on goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over New Jersey.

Couturier assisted on goals by linemates Matvei Michkov and Bobby Brink. With the pair of apples, the 32-year-old Couturier has 11 assists, 13 points and 26 shots on net through 19 games this season. Philadelphia's captain has continued to lead by example this season, and the team has proven to be at its best when he finds the scoresheet. With three assists in his last two games, Couturier is a solid depth piece in deep fantasy leagues and should continue to center Philadelphia's top line if he can stay healthy.
