NHL Player News

Celebrini scored two goals, one on an overtime power play, and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

The 20-year-old superstar recorded his second three-point performance in the last three games, this one capped by his first game-winning goal of the season. Celebrini is on a point-a-game pace just from his power-play contributions alone, and through eight contests he's racked up five goals and 14 points, including two goals and six assists with the man advantage.

Carlsson picked up two assists while adding two shots on net and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders.

The Ducks' $18 million man helped set up tallies by Frank Vatrano late in the first period and Alex Killorn late in the third, accounting for all of the team's offense on the night. Carlsson has had a strong start to his fourth NHL season, producing two goals and 11 points in nine games -- including one goal and six assists on the power play.

Boqvist scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Boqvist's insurance tally ended up being the game-winner as the Avalanche made a late push that fell short. Boqvist has three goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating across seven appearances this season. He's primarily playing in a fourth-line role, though competition for playing time will be tougher after Connor Brown (lower body) made his season debut Tuesday. Amadeus Lombardi was the healthy scratch up front in this contest, but Boqvist could occasionally find himself in the press box as well.

Cirelli (undisclosed) didn't play in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Golden Knights, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Cirelli's last shift ended with 1:09 left in the second period. Prior to his exit, he scored two goals, giving him five points through nine outings this season. There was no update available after the contest, so Cirelli will be considered day-to-day leading into Friday's matchup against the Avalanche.

Sasson scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and served two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Sasson has two goals over his last four contests. The 26-year-old forward is maintaining a steady spot in the Canucks' bottom six, but he's not much of a factor with the man advantage. He's produced three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, five hits, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 11 appearances on the year.

Karlsson scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Karlsson has scored in consecutive contests, and he's on a three-game point streak. The 26-year-old winger has shuffled around the Canucks' lineup a bit this year, but he's currently in a top-six role, which should help his offense. He has three goals, five assists, 21 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 11 appearances. Even on the Canucks, he's a viable depth option in some fantasy formats if he's going to see top-six minutes and power-play time.

Stankoven scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

The Kamloops, British Columbia native put on a show for friends and family as a leading force on offense for the Hurricanes. Stankoven opened and closed the scoring Tuesday, and he also helped out on the first of Nikolaj Ehlers' two goals. Consistency is a small concern early in the season, but Stankoven remains in a top-six role for a reason. He has six goals, three assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 11 appearances this season, aided by a pair of three-point outings.

Coyle scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Toronto.

He scored it while on his stomach from the side of the net. It was a tough night for Coyle and the rest of the Blue Jackets. The Leafs were up 5-1 by the mid-point of the second period. The Jackets are in last place in the Eastern Conference right now, but Coyle is quietly delivering sneaky fantasy value amongst the ruins. He has one goal, six assists, 15 shots, a plus-3 rating and a 57.1 face-off percentage in eight games after putting up 58 points, including 20 goals, in 82 games last season.

Larkin registered two power-play assists and six shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

Larkin has a pair of multi-point efforts and has totaled a goal and four assists over seven games this season. He's added 20 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. Reports broke Tuesday that Larkin has expanded his list of preferred trade destinations to 10 teams, but no deal is imminent. As such, expect Larkin to continue handling top-six minutes and power-play time for the Red Wings until he's on the brink of getting dealt.

Matthews had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

His goal stood as the winner. And the snipe was Matthews' 436th goal in his 700th career game, tying Pavel Bure for the sixth most by an NHL player through that mile marker, behind Hall-of-Famers Wayne Gretzky (589), Mario Lemieux (580), Mike Bossy (542), Brett Hull (504) and Jari Kurri (454). Matthews is on fire so far this season. He has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last two games and 18 points, including eight goals, in 11 contests so far. Both of those marks put him in a tie for second in the league thus far.
