Hr has six points, four PIM, 15 shots and three hits during his four-game point streak. Thompson has been so consistent throughout the season that this is the sixth time that he's recorded points in at least four consecutive games.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Stays hot with another goal

That's not a sustainable shooting percentage, but Rakell should remain a popular fantasy option down the stretch. He has 19 points (10 goals, nine helpers) in 19 games since the Olympic break.
