Seth Jarvis C | CAR
Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Extends point streak
Jarvis scored a goal and took five shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.
Jarvis netted his 10th goal of the season with a wrister in the first period to give the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead. Jarvis has scored in three of his last four appearances, and he's currently riding a four-game point streak. This is the second time this season that he's cracked the scoresheet in at least four straight contests, as he opened the campaign with an impressive seven-game point streak.

Logan Stankoven C | CAR
Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Plays hero role Sunday
Stankoven scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.
Stankoven snapped a four-game slump in style, assisting Taylor Hall's goal in the third period before completing the comeback with a wrister at the 12:13 mark of the final frame. Stankoven has five goals and nine points this season, and perhaps this two-point effort might be the burst he needs to get things back on track following his recent slump.

Tyler Seguin C | DAL
Stars' Tyler Seguin: Scores game-winner Sunday
Seguin scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Seguin scored what ended up being the game-winning goal with a backhander at the 19:26 mark of the first period. The veteran playmaker has endured a slow start to the season, as this was just his fifth goal and seventh point of the campaign. However, he should remain a player worth rostering as long as he remains in a top-six role with the Stars. That's not expected to change in the near future.

Wyatt Johnston C | DAL
Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Point streak reaches five games
Johnston scored a power-play goal and took two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Johnston was unable to record a fourth consecutive game with multiple points, but he boosted his current point streak to five games, producing four goals and six assists over that span. The 22-year-old playmaker has been one of the Stars' most reliable and consistent scoring weapons this season and is up to 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 16 games. It's still early in the campaign, but it seems Johnston is on pace to surpass the 71-point output he delivered in 2024-25.

Linus Karlsson C | VAN
Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Lights lamp Sunday
Karlsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
The goal was Karlsson's first of the year. He has two points over five contests in November and four points through 14 outings overall. The 25-year-old forward has added 17 shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating from his fourth-line role. Karlsson has been with the big club all season and should continue to find time as a depth forward while the team navigates a tough stretch of injuries.

Gavin Brindley C | COL
Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Scores first game-winner
Brindley scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Brindley got a chance on the rush as the Avalanche made a line change in overtime, and he converted on a rebound that Kevin Lankinen wasn't able to sweep away in time. This was Brindley's first game-winning goal in his career, and just his third tally overall. He has three points over two games since returning from a concussion and five points through 14 outings in a fourth-line role. He's quickly gaining trust with his energy and tenacity, which could help Brindley stick in the lineup even when the Avalanche get Logan O'Connor (hip) and Joel Kiviranta (lower body) back.

Nathan MacKinnon C | COL
Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Involved in all five goals in win
MacKinnon scored twice on four shots and added three assists in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
MacKinnon extended his point streak to nine games with a goal at 6:41 of the first period, but he was far from done. He added a power-play goal 89 seconds later and then assisted on the Avalanche's last three tallies of the contest for his best game of the season. He's been the best player on the best team so far, racking up 14 goals and 29 points to lead the NHL in both categories. MacKinnon has added 71 shots on net, eight power-play points and a plus-13 rating through 16 appearances. Given that production, he should be the early favorite for the Hart Trophy, though he has an excellent supporting cast as well.

Leo Carlsson C | ANA
Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Pots two more goals in win
Carlsson scored a pair of power-play goals in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Carlsson has back-to-back multi-goal games, and he's logged at least two points in four straight outings. His point streak is up to 10 games overall, six of which have been multi-point efforts. Carlsson's superstar moment is here, as he's making good on his No. 2 overall draft status from 2023. The center is up to 10 goals, 25 points, 37 shots on net, 19 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 15 appearances.

Joel Eriksson Ek C | MIN
Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Contributes pair of assists
Eriksson Ek logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flames.
Eriksson Ek's goal drought reached seven games, but he was able to help out on tallies by Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov. Consistency hasn't been a big part of Eriksson Ek's production this season, as he has created just one point streak that has reached three games. The veteran center is up to two goals, nine helpers, 51 shots on net, 32 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances in a top-six role.

Nick Schmaltz C | UTA
Mammoth's Nick Schmaltz: Puts away goal Sunday
Schmaltz scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Senators.
Schmaltz has been limited to two goals over five outings in November after a strong start to the season. The 29-year-old's offensive dip has corresponded with a stretch in which the Mammoth have just 11 goals over five contests. He's produced nine goals, 19 points, 50 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 16 outings this season and should be able to get back to being a steady contributor.
