Reinhart scored a goal and fired seven shots on net in Monday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.

Reinhart ended a four-game scoring drought when his power-play goal less than three minutes into Monday's contest gave the Panthers an early 1-0 lead. The marker brought the 30-year-old winger up to 24 goals, 45 points, 123 shots on net, 45 hits and 28 blocks through 45 games this season. Despite the recent cold stretch, he has maintained above a point-per-game pace since the start of December with 22 points in 21 games. While he likely can't afford to go on a quiet stretch offensively if the Panthers are to start pushing for a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Reinhart has displayed incredible stretches of consistency throughout his career. He should challenge for the 80-point threshold this campaign, which would be his third consecutive regular season reaching that mark.

Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday.

The goal was his 20th of the season, and the ninth time in 10 seasons where he's hit that snipe mark. Guentzel also has eight points (two goals, six assists) during a five-game point streak. He's one of several Lightning players, including Nikita Kucherov, Brandon Hagel and Darren Raddysh, on streaks. The team itself is on a 10-game win streak. Rack 'em and stack 'em.

Johnston scored a goal on his lone shot during Monday's 3-1 victory over the Kings.

Johnston put the Stars on the board early in Monday's matchup by scoring just 3:44 into the game. He's now recorded five goals over his last five appearances, and he's generated points in seven of his last nine outings. The 22-year-old is now up to 25 goals and 51 points over 46 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, and he's on pace to surpass his career-best marks of 33 goals and 71 points.

Byfield scored a power-play goal on four shots while also blocking a shot during Monday's 3-1 loss to Dallas.

Byfield has been on a hot streak early in the calendar year, as he's generated points in five of his last six appearances, while Monday's goal was his second in the last three games. The 23-year-old will have to have a solid second half of the season if he hopes to reach the 20-goal threshold for a third consecutive year, as he's now up to eight through 44 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. However, Byfield remains heavily involved on the power play, and he's already matched his 2024-25 total of three tallies with the man advantage.

Dvorak scored his 10th goal of the season in a 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.

Dvorak has four points (one goal, three assists) during a season-best four-game point streak. Overall, he has 29 points and 86 shots this season, and he's on pace to obliterate his career mark of 38 points, which was set in 2019-20. Dvorak could hit 50 points this season, and there's always room for a guy like him in deep formats. Remember he won't deliver much else, as he simply doesn't get enough exposure to the power play.

Carrick scored a goal Monday in a 4-2 loss to Seattle.

It was Carrick's second goal of the season. His first snipe came Oct. 28 and this one came 36 games later. Carrick's contributions for fantasy come with his hits (69), as he has just two goals and six assists in 47 games. He's a classic better on the ice than in the fantasy arena center.

Zibanejad scored a goal Monday in a 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

The goal extended Zibanejad's scoring streak to six games and 12 points, including six goals. His 18 goals lead the Rangers in that category, and his 41 points are second only to Artemi Panarin. We're sure he'd trade this streak for a few more wins -- Zibanejad is on pace for his first 30-plus goal season since 2022-23.

McCann netted a goal in a 4-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.

McCann has eight points (four goals, four assists) and 23 shots in his last nine games. He has nine goals, seven assists and 50 shots in 20 games this season. That's a mid-60s pace, which makes him incredibly consistent for his managers. In his last three seasons, McCann put up 70, 62 and 61 points and averaged 30 goals each season, and he's on that same pace in 2025-26.

Catton scored the game-winning goal Monday in a 4-2 win over the Rangers.

Catton jammed a rebound past Jonathan Quick with 7:58 left in regulation. It was his fourth goal of the season, and fourth goal in his last four games (nine shots). The 19-year-old winger has struggled to find his touch this season -- he had gone nine games prior without a point, and he had just five helpers in 27 games to start the season. But this burst shows off his touch and has clearly given him a confidence boost.

Teravainen (upper body) will not finish Monday's home contest against the Oilers.

Teravainen had seven shifts in which he logged one takeaway in 5:27 of ice time before exiting the game. Until his status is updated prior to Thursday's home matchup versus Calgary, Teravainen should be considered day-to-day.
