Henrique logged two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Henrique helped out on goals by Isaac Howard and Ty Emberson as the Oilers' depth players made a contribution in this comeback win. This was Henrique's first multi-point effort of the season. The 35-year-old center has two goals, three assists, 17 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and an even plus-minus rating through 11 appearances, primarily in a bottom-six role.

Girgensons scored twice Tuesday in a 5-2 win over the Predators.

He managed just two goals in 82 regular-season games with the Lightning in 2024-25. Girgensons is better known for his bruise -- he delivered 174 hits last season. He already has eight in three games this year. Even still, how valuable is a guy who rang up just six points in 82 games in 2024-25? We think there are better hits options than Girgensons.

Draisaitl scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Draisaitl set up a Mattias Ekholm goal early in the second period before tying the contest at 13:33 of the same frame. The 30-year-old Draisaitl has five goals and four assists during his six-game point streak, which has him looking in midseason form. He's up to a total of eight goals, 13 points, 32 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-3 rating across 11 appearances. He's shooting 25 percent to begin the season, but considering he's been above 18 percent in each of the last seven campaigns, Draisaitl can be expected to continue finishing at an elite rate.

McDavid scored twice on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

McDavid provided the insurance tallies for the Oilers, scoring late in the second period and adding an empty-netter in the third. The 28-year-old hasn't had trouble putting pucks on net this year, but his shots haven't been going in with much frequency yet. He's at three goals, 14 points, 31 shots and a minus-2 rating across 11 appearances, with all three of his tallies coming in the last five games.

Frost scored a goal in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

Frost now has a point in each of his last four games (one goal, three assists) after putting up just two points (one goal, one assist) in his first seven games. Frost is showing that he can play with Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau on the team's top line. Check your wire.

Frank sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Tuesday's loss to the Stars, and there was no update on his status after the game, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

The injury occurred late enough in the contest that the lack of an update is not a surprise. For now, he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Islanders. Frank was called up Monday to add to the Capitals' forward depth in the absence of Dylan Strome (lower body), but it looks like the team will either need to make another move or insert Sonny Milano into the lineup if Frank misses time.

Domi scored twice Tuesday in a 4-3 win over Calgary.

Domi went high glove from the left hash marks on a 2-on-1 early in the second to run the game to 1-1, and then he notched the winner with 2:04 remaining in the third. Domi had gone seven games without a point, and he now has three goals in 10 games (22 shots). He has upside, but inconsistency has plagued Domi for a few seasons. He is a spot play only at this point.

Namestnikov scored a goal and logged 17:24 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota.

Namestnikov redirected a Neal Pionk slapper past Filip Gustavsson midway through the first period for his fourth goal of the season. Namestnikov's now up to five points through Winnipeg's first 10 games, which is roughly in line with his 75 points in 156 regular-season outings over his previous two seasons with the Jets. With limited contributions in peripheral categories, Namestnikov remains more of a fringe streaming option, though he draws a favorable matchup at home against Chicago on Thursday.

Crosby scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins.

At the midpoint of the third, Crosby tied the game 2-2 when his backhand pass from behind the net went off the shoulder of Flyers defender Nick Seeler and dropped in behind Samuel Ersson. Crosby has been vintage Sid the Kid this season. He has eight goals, seven assists and 22 shots in 11 games.

Rossi notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Winnipeg.

Rossi notched multiple points for the second straight game and is now producing at a point-per-game pace through his first 10 outings. The former first-round pick tallied 24 goals and 36 assists during the 2024-25 regular season and appears ready to take another step forward in his third full campaign with Minnesota. His offensive surge has solidified his spot as the top-line center next to Kirill Kaprizov, making him look like a major draft-day bargain for fantasy managers who landed him in the later rounds in standard leagues.
