Sharangovich scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Sharangovich has done alright to start the season, earning three points over six outings for a low-scoring team. He's added nine shots on net and a plus-1 rating. Sharangovich should see time in all situations, though he could lose some power-play chances if the Flames' younger players step up into that role over time. The 28-year-old doesn't add much non-scoring production, so he's not a particularly strong fantasy option.

Roslovic scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Roslovic continues to look right at home on the top line for Toronto. This was his third goal of the season, all coming in the last four games. He's added two assists, 20 shots on net, four PIM and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances. Roslovic is a decent target for fantasy managers in need of points and shots.

Tavares scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Tavares was out of the lineup Saturday for the birth of his fourth child. He rejoined the Maple Leafs for the last game of their road trip and delivered a strong performance with his first multi-point effort of the season. The 36-year-old center is up to two goals, three assists, 17 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over six appearances. Tavares will continue to see steady time on the second line and first power-play unit.

Matthews scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Matthews was held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the season, but he's since rattled off a five-game streak. He's earned five goals and seven assists in that span, including four power-play points. That's the Matthews we're more familiar with, compared to what he's done in a couple of down years recently. The star center has added 25 shots on net, four hits, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven appearances. If he can stay healthy and continue to average around four shots per game, he shouldn't have much trouble getting back above the 40-goal mark.

Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Trocheck started the year on the Mammoth's top line, but he's since been moved to center the second line. The 33-year-old's still getting used to his new teammates, earning two goals and one assist over seven contests. He's added 10 shots on net, 22 hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating. Trocheck should do enough overall to remain a productive part of a fantasy lineup, especially in formats that reward hits and PIM.

Dvorak notched a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Seattle.

Dvorak now has a goal in back-to-back games, but they're his first two snipes of the season. He has one assist to add to the mix in eight games. Dvorak needs to fire more pucks at the net -- he has recorded just nine this season (22.2 percent), which is light even for a playmaker like him. Last year, he ripped 151. Dvorak is skating on the Flyers top line, but he's far better suited in the middle six, excelling as a shutdown pivot on line three. So far, his magic chemistry with Trevor Zegras from last season has dried up, and the Flyers have set an all-time low with eight losses to start the season. Bench him or cast him aside. He'll hang like an anchor around your neck.

Martin scored twice and added two assists in WHL Spokane's 7-1 win over Everett on Tuesday.

Martin didn't make his season debut until Oct. 2, and it took a little time for him to get into a groove. He's there now, with eight points over five contests, including six points over his last two. The Jets prospect has yet to sign his entry-level deal, leaving his options open for 2027-28 as he continues his development.

Zegras scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Seattle.

Ugh. This was his first goal of the season (one goal, two assists; eight games). Zegras parlayed last season's career-high 26-goal, 67-point outburst into a four-year, $36.5 million extension in the offseason. But Zegras has been a massive disappointment so far, and you need to have him on your bench until he ratchets up his effort and output.

McTavish potted two goals, including a power-play tally, tallied an assist and launched six shots on net in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Ottawa.

McTavish grew his point streak to four games Tuesday with his best offensive showing with St. Louis thus far. His first goal of the night would stand as the game's go-ahead tally, but he was far from done scoring. Across 59 seconds late in the third period, he tallied a power-play goal and picked up a secondary helper to secure his first three-point game since Oct. 11, 2025. Across six appearances in the 2026-27 campaign, he's been excellent with four goals, seven points, 23 shots on net and 10 hits. It appears that a change of scenery was exactly what the 23-year-old center needed to get back on track, and if he continues to be a regular contributor to the offense from the Blues' second line, he could surpass the 50-point threshold for the second time in his six-year NHL career. For the time being, he's an excellent streaming option in all fantasy formats.

Suter tallied two goals, including a shorthanded goal, recorded an assist, fired four shots on net and dished out three hits in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Ottawa.

Suter stole the show Tuesday as he notched a shorthanded goal in the first period before compiling his final two points of the night in the third. Suter's multi-goal effort was his first since April 8, 2025, which occurred during a season where he exploded for 25 goals across 81 regular-season games with Vancouver. While he's a long shot to replicate those numbers from the Blues' fourth line in 2026-27, he's nonetheless off to a great start to the new season. Across six appearances, he has compiled three goals, five points, 11 shots on net and 10 hits. If he can string together a point streak, Suter could trend towards being a decent streaming option in deep leagues that value banger stats.
