McDavid scored three goals on seven shots and added an assist in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Two of his goals as well as his lone assist came on the power play. McDavid had produced just a trio of three-point efforts prior to Thursday, but this outing might be the spark the Oilers' offense as a whole needed to get back on track. McDavid has still been pretty good with 14 goals, 40 points (17 on the power play), 82 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances, but he has the potential to make the remarkable look routine in any given game.

Trenin scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Trenin tied the game late in the second period, but the Flames scored three unanswered goalies in the third. With two goals and two assists over his last nine outings, Trenin is mixing in a little offense to go with his usual physical play. The 28-year-old is at two goals, seven points, 33 shots on net, 131 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 28 appearances this season.

Malkin scored two goals, including the game-winner late in the third period, and had an assist in a 4-3 victory over the Lightning on Thursday.

Malkin broke the 3-3 tie late in the third with a one-timer from the low slot off a feed from Thomas Novak. It was his seventh career go-ahead goal in the final five minutes of regulation, tying Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby for the most in franchise history. Malkin also tied Bryan Trottier for the 10th-most assists with a single franchise (853).

Zary scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Zary provided some insurance in the third period with his goal. The 24-year-old has had a poor season so far, but he's showing a little life with three points over his last six games. He's up to a total of three goals, five points, 37 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-4 rating over 27 appearances.

Jarvis scored a goal Thursday in a 5-1 loss to Toronto.

It was a gimme -- Shayne Gostisbehere took a pass in the slot before wrapping around Leafs' defender Morgan Rielly right to Jarvis, who had an easy backdoor tap-in. He has five goals in his last games and 16 (23 points) in 26 games this season. Jarvis is in a four-way tie with Leon Draisaitl, Wyatt Johnston and Tom Wilson for ninth in goal scoring across the NHL.

Huberdeau scored a goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Huberdeau ended a month-long goal drought with his tally at 4:21 of the second period. During that stretch, he was limited to six assists and 22 shots on net over 14 outings. The 32-year-old winger has remained in a top-six role despite the slump, as the Flames haven't seen anyone else step up to challenge him. Huberdeau is at five goals, 14 points, 40 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 13 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 24 appearances.

Matthews scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over Carolina.

Matthews finished a pass from Max Domi on a 2-on-1 that started in the Leafs' zone when Matthews Knies intercepted a pass and sprung his linemates. The elite pivot is on a four-game, five-point streak that includes two goals and 16 shots.

Roy delivered a two-assist performance Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

The cerebral pivot has five points, including four assists, and six shots in his last four games. That total more than doubles Roy's output from his first 20 games (one goal, two three assists) in blue and white. Roy also has 32 face-off wins (62.7 percent) in this span.

Domi set up two goals Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Domi is skating on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, and he's making the most of the opportunity. He's on a three-game, five-assist run (four shots). Domi's fantasy value is tied to a top-six deployment, so grab him for the short term. He hasn't been able to keep a top-six gig in Toronto, but you might as well enjoy the output right now.

Laughton scored a goal Thursday in a 5-1 win over Carolina.

The puck took a bizarre bounce off the backboards and bounced over Frederik Andersen and into the slot where Laughton slammed it past the stunned netminder. He has a goal in each of his last two games. It's a nice little burst for the pivot who has struggled to find his bearings in blue and white.
