Gaudreau notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Gaudreau was able to get a little revenge on a former team, setting up Brandon Montour's game-winning tally in overtime. This was Gaudreau's first point in four games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him 13 contests. The center has two assists, seven shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. He probably won't be a big factor in fantasy while playing in a bottom-six role.

Zary's point drought reached 11 games in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.

That stretch also includes a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, but that came as the calendar flipped from October to November. Zary's offense wasn't sparked by that, and he's been stuck in a bottom-six role while trying to get going. On the season, he has just two points with 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 21 appearances. He's in the first season of a three-year contract, but the 24-year-old needs to show a lot more on offense to be part of the Flames' long-term plans.

Kadri logged two power-play assists and fired three shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.

Kadri had a hand in goals by Matthew Coronato and Joel Farabee in this contest. In the shootout, Kadri tallied in the fourth round with the goal that gave the Flames the win. The 35-year-old center has five helpers over his last three outings following a five-game skid. He's up to 16 points (seven on the power play), 75 shots on net, 17 hits, eight PIM and a minus-13 rating through 23 contests overall.

Eichel logged two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Eichel set up Shea Theodore's opening goal and Tomas Hertl's power-play tally in the first period. With back-to-back multi-point efforts, Eichel looks to be heating up again as he builds chemistry with Braeden Bowman on the top line. Eichel has 10 goals, 19 assists (12 on the power play), 86 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances. Eichel has 30-goal potential when healthy, but he's also excelled in a playmaking role and that looks to be continuing this year after his career-high 66 helpers in the 2024-25 regular season.

Hertl scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Hertl saw a five-game point streak end Thursday versus the Mammoth, but he bounced right back Saturday. The 32-year-old's goal late in the first period put the Golden Knights ahead 3-2. Hertl continues to impress in a second-line role, which has seen him produce nine goals, 18 points (seven on the power play), 62 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances.

Cirelli scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.

Cirelli closed out the scoring for the Lightning with a backhander at 15:51 of the final frame. It was his eighth goal of the season, but it might be the spark he needs to turn things around. Cirelli missed four games from Nov. 8-16 due to an upper-body injury, and he still has only three points (two goals, one assist) in six games in November. That's poor production for a top-six forward, let alone one that notched a career-high 59 points across 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Beniers scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Beniers scored the Kraken's second goal with a wrister at the 12:36 mark of the third period, and that goal was the one that sent this game to overtime. Beniers only has three goals this season, but he's cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five appearances, tallying five points (one goal, four helpers) in that stretch.

Crosby recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Crosby became the sixth player in NHL history to reach 500 multi-point games, according to Wes Crosby of NHL.com, after chipping in on the team's two goals. The 38-year-old Crosby has notched eight points (five goals, three assists) through nine games in November. He has 23 points across 21 games this season, thanks to 13 goals and 10 helpers.

Malkin scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Malkin found the back of the net thanks to a wrister at 5:56 of the second period, and now he has six goals on the season. The veteran playmaker has been extremely productive of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 10 games, tallying three goals, five assists, four PIM, 26 shots and two hits over that stretch. However, he hasn't recorded a multi-point game since tallying two points in a 6-3 win over the Blues on Oct. 27.

Laczynski scored a goal on six shots and added two assists in AHL Henderson's 5-1 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.

Laczynski briefly earned an NHL call-up as injury insurance for the Golden Knights, but he didn't appear in a game. The 28-year-old has been strong in the AHL this year with five goals and 11 helpers over 15 appearances, including four multi-point efforts. Should he get another call-up, he could be an option to fill a fourth-line role for Vegas.
