    Kadri's tally was his 32nd of the year, with this being the third time in his career he's reached that number.

    Smith scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

    Smith scored for the fourth game in a row -- he has five goals and three assists in that span. He got the Sharks on the board in the first period of this contest. Smith is up to 18 goals, 45 points, 122 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 71 appearances. Fantasy managers in redraft formats should have the 20-year-old on their radar by now, as he's put together a strong rookie season.

  • Oilers' Adam Henrique: Dishes two power-play helpers

    Henrique logged two power-play assists and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Henrique had a hand in goals by Evan Bouchard and Corey Perry in this contest. This was Henrique's second multi-point effort in his last three games. The 35-year-old center continues to handle second-line duties while Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) are out. Henrique is up to 25 points (six on the power play), 99 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-2 rating over 78 appearances this season.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Helps out on all four goals Friday

    McDavid recorded four assists, four shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    McDavid has seven helpers over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old earned two of his assists Friday on the power play. He's matched his jersey number in the points column with 97 (26 goals, 71 assists) across 65 appearances, and he's added 191 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-16 rating. The injury doesn't look to be bothering him, and with the Oilers missing a lot of other players, McDavid may have to suit up for all three remaining regular-season contests.

    Oilers' Connor Brown: Deposits empty-netter Friday

    Brown scored an empty-net goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Brown has three goals over two games since he was elevated to the top line amid the Oilers' injury crisis. The 31-year-old has thrown it back to the Erie Otters days while playing alongside Connor McDavid, and it's helping the Oilers stay warm while they're missing big-name teammates. Brown is now at 12 goals, 29 points, 117 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 79 appearances.

  • Devils' Dawson Mercer: Manages assist

    Mercer notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Mercer has two helpers over his last three games. The 23-year-old continues to see time as the Devils' second-line center, a role he's filled since Jack Hughes' season ended due to a shoulder injury. Mercer is up to 33 points over 79 appearances, matching his output from 2023-24. He's added 136 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 40 hits and a plus-3 rating. It's not growth for Mercer, but at least he didn't take another step back in 2024-25.
