McMann picked up an assist Saturday in a 7-4 loss to Colorado.

McMann rode shotgun with two of the league's best players, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, for at least part of the game, and he nabbed an assist. McMann put up one shot and three hits. He has gone nine games without a goal after sniping four times in a span of seven outings. Overall, the 28-year-old has a sharp 17 goals, 11 assists and 124 shots in 55 appearances. All three of those are career highs.

Draisaitl provided an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.

Draisaitl assisted on a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the first period. The helper allowed Draisaitl to pull even with Tim Stutzle for the longest active point streak in the league at 14 games. During his blistering stretch, Draisaitl has 11 goals, 10 assists and 54 shots on net. The German is up to 95 points (46 goals, 49 assists) with 208 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-26 rating through 63 appearances.

Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.

Brown attempted a centering pass, but it was bounced back to him off a Dallas defender. The winger took advantage, burying the Oilers' fifth goal, which was ultimately the game-winner. Prior to Saturday, he had been limited to one assist over his last nine outings. Brown has put together a decent campaign in a bottom-six role with eight goals, 23 points, 85 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 63 appearances. He doesn't look to be at risk of losing much playing time when Trent Frederic (lower body) is activated from injured reserve for his Oilers debut.

McDavid scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.

McDavid set up the first of Zach Hyman's goals in the first period. In the second, McDavid got set loose on a one-on-one situation, and he danced through Ilya Lyubushkin before backhanding in the Oilers' fourth goal of the game. This performance extended his point streak to seven games (two goals, eight assists). The superstar is up to 24 tallies, 81 points, 177 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-3 rating across 57 appearances this season.

Hyman scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.

Hyman had the Oilers' first two goals of the game and also helped out on Connor McDavid's tally in the second period. This was Hyman's first multi-point effort since Jan. 23 versus the Canucks. The 32-year-old winger had been limited to three goals and two assists over the previous 14 contests, and he's bounced between the first and third lines in that span. For the season, he has 22 goals, 37 points, 166 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He should return decent offense as long as he stays alongside McDavid at even strength.

Matthews delivered three assists in a 7-4 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night.

The points pushed Matthews' scoring streak to 12 games (three goals, 15 assists). He continues to rack up points, and he now has 56, including 23 goals, in 48 games. Matthews' shooting rate sits at a low 11.9 percent, which is well below his 15.9 career average. He's getting it done for his team, even if he's setting up more goals than scoring.

Tavares scored twice Saturday in a 7-4 loss to Colorado.

The first goal was off Tavares' stick fast and went short-side shelf over Mackenzie Blackwood's shoulder in the first period. His second came on the power play and pushed the Leafs up 4-2 at the midpoint of the second. There have been points this season when Tavares' lack of foot speed has been exposed, but he has still managed to rack up 26 goals, 29 assists and 150 shots in 56 games -- and right now, the veteran pivot is on a four-game, six-point streak that includes four goals.

Brown logged an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.

The helper was Brown's first point in four NHL appearances this season. He's added five shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 32-year-old forward has been up and down between the NHL and AHL Providence a few times in the last week. He'll be eligible for Providence's AHL playoff roster after a paper demotion Friday, but Brown seems likely to get a look as the pending free agent auditions for an NHL spot for 2025-26 at the end of this season.

Beecher provided an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Lightning.

Beecher ended a 17-game point drought that started Jan. 20 when he set up Nikita Zadorov's empty-net tally Saturday. The 23-year-old Beecher has maintained a regular role on the fourth line despite the lack of offense. He's up to 10 points in 63 appearances this season, matching his point total from 52 games as a rookie last year. Beecher also has 35 shots on net, 69 hits, 57 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 2024-25.

Bolduc notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.

Bolduc has gotten on the scoresheet in five of his last seven games (five goals, one assist). This was his first helper since Feb. 8 versus the Blackhawks, as he's shown up more with a finishing touch than a playmaking style recently. For the season, the 22-year-old forward is up to 24 points, 80 shots on net, 77 hits and a plus-15 rating through 55 appearances. Bolduc isn't a household name in fantasy just yet, but he's been impressive in a bottom-six role this season and should continue on an upward trajectory in the years to come.
