    Rangers' J.T. Miller: Contributes two helpers

    Miller logged a pair of assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

    Miller set up the Rangers' last two goals, including a shorthanded tally by Vincent Trocheck late in the third period. The 32-year-old Miller has three goals and four assists during his four-game point streak as he continues to be a leader on offense. For the season, he's produced 19 goals, 41 helpers, 120 shots on net, 160 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 64 appearances between the Rangers and the Canucks as a top-six center.

  • Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Finds twine Saturday

    Brodzinski scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

    Brodzinski has three goals and a helper over his last five contests. The 31-year-old forward has reached the 10-goal mark for the first time in his career after his third-period tally Saturday. Overall, he's earned 17 points, 59 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-9 rating across 43 appearances, mainly in a third-line role. He's still got enough time to make a run at reaching 20 points for the first time.

  • Rangers' Vincent Trocheck: Earns two points in win

    Trocheck scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

    Trocheck helped out on Artemi Panarin's second goal of the game before potting a shortie late in the third for the Rangers' final tally. This ended a six-game goal drought for Trocheck, though he still managed four assists in that span. The 31-year-old has looked good in a top-six role throughout the campaign, accumulating 21 goals, 51 points (10 on the power play, four shorthanded), 183 shots on net, 207 hits, 73 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 74 appearances.

  • Nazem Kadri C | COL

    Flames' Nazem Kadri: Keeps rolling with two helpers

    Kadri notched two assists and six shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Kadri has four multi-point efforts during his six-game point streak, though this was the first time he didn't score in that span. He's racked up seven goals and three helpers during the streak. Kadri is up to 58 points (30 goals, 28 helpers) through 72 contests, taking a share of the team lead in points by matching Jonathan Huberdeau's total. Kadri has added 250 shots on net, 51 hits, 70 PIM and a minus-17 rating.

  • Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Tallies opening goal

    Sharangovich scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Sharangovich received a wake-up call when he was scratched versus the Stars on Thursday following a stretch of just two points over 10 games. The 26-year-old replaced Connor Zary (knee) on the top line and made an instant impact by scoring in the first period. Sharangovich has gone from a career year of 31 goals and 59 points in 2023-24 to potentially the worst of his five NHL seasons in 2024-25. He's at 13 goals, 12 assists, 112 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 63 appearances this season, though he could get a bump if he sticks in the top six for the rest of the campaign.

  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Plays hero in overtime win

    Draisaitl scored twice on eight shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

    Draisaitl tied the game at 2-2 with 3:12 left in the third period, then scored 2:25 into overtime to complete the Oilers' comeback against their provincial rivals. This was his first game back after missing four contests due to an undisclosed injury. Draisaitl led the Oilers' forwards with 22:24 of ice time, so he's pretty close to 100 percent. The 29-year-old crossed the 50-goal mark this season -- he's the first to do so in 2024-25 and now sits at 51 goals, 53 helpers, 237 shots on net and a plus-33 rating across 69 appearances. This is his fourth 50-goal campaign, and his career high of 55 from 2021-22 is within range.

  • Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Four-game, seven-point streak

    Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-1 win over the Kings on Saturday.

    His goal came while shorthanded in the third period, tying the score at 1-1. It was Matthews' second career shortie and his second this season. He got his first in a 7-3 win at Montreal on Jan. 18. Matthews has seven points (two goals, five assists) during a four-game scoring streak. He has 68 points in 58 games this season, earning his eighth straight season of producing better than a point per game. Sidney Crosby now holds the record for consecutive point-per-game (or better) campaigns with 20.

  • John Tavares C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Five-game, eight-goal streak

    Tavares scored twice Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Kings.

    Both goals came in the third period. Tavares has eight snipes during a five-game goal streak and 11 points during a six-game point spree. He put the Maple Leafs up 2-1 on a four-on-three power play when he swept in a rebound from the right post. His second went into the empty net. Tavares has been excellent since the 4 Nations break, and that bodes well for fantasy managers in the playoffs and his team as Toronto heads toward the NHL postseason.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: First goal in 12 games

    O'Reilly scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Vegas.

    O'Reilly gave the Preds a 1-0 lead in the second period on a redirection of a shot on the power play. He also appeared to put his team up 2-1 later that period, but Vegas successfully challenged for goaltender interference. O'Reilly has 17 goals, 27 assists and 131 shots in 70 games this season. That's a significant drop from the 69 points (26 goals, 43 assists) and 180 shots he had last season with the Predators. His goal in Saturday's loss was his first in 12 games. With his minus-23 rating, O'Reilly is an anchor on many fantasy rosters. There are better options at center.

  • Jack Eichel C | LV

    Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Six-game, 13-point streak

    Eichel had a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over Nashville on Saturday.

    Eichel pushed his point streak to six games and 13 points (six goals, seven assists) when he stuffed in a rebound to tie the game at 1-1 in the second period. Eichel sits fourth in NHL scoring with 93 points. He ranks fourth in assists (66) and sits in a 10-player tie for 39th in goals with 27. If Eichel continues at his current rate, he will deliver close to 105 points while being one of the league's strongest two-way players. A Lady Byng Trophy nomination could also be coming his way, as he hasn't spent much time in the sin bin.
