Schmaltz logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

Schmaltz has three helpers (all on the power play) over three games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He went into the pause on a five-game skid. The 29-year-old forward is up to 11 goals, 33 helpers, 19 power-play points, 123 shots on net and a minus-13 rating over 58 appearances. Schmaltz continues to be a reliable source of offense in fantasy.

Keller recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and two shots on goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

Keller has two goals and five helpers over seven outings in February. He had the secondary assist on goals by Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther in this contest, as Utah was able to rely on its top players in a low-scoring win. Keller is up to 20 goals, 43 assists, 156 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 57 appearances this season.

Cooley scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

Cooley returned from a seven-game absence and scored the game-tying goal in the second period. The 20-year-old was limited to 13:44 of ice time in a close contest, which suggests that while he's healthy enough to play, head coach Andre Tourigny doesn't want to push Cooley too hard just yet. Cooley has matched his rookie-year point total (44) already, earning 16 goals and 28 helpers over 51 appearances while adding 112 shots on net and a plus-5 rating. Once his ice time rebounds to the level of a top-six forward, the Pennsylvania native figures to be a strong fantasy option down the stretch.

Celebrini scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Celebrini has remained consistent lately with five goals and four helpers over his last nine outings. The 18-year-old has been held off the scoresheet just twice in that span. For the season, he's up to 18 goals, 41 points, 156 shots on net and a minus-19 rating over 46 appearances. He could mount a challenge for the 60-point mark as a rookie even though he missed 12 contests early in the campaign due to a lower-body injury.

Pospisil logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Pospisil has four helpers over his last seven outings. The 25-year-old is currently on the fourth line, and while that will reduce his offense, it's a role that fits his playing style well. Pospisil is up to 19 points, 75 shots on net, 192 hits, 74 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 56 appearances, a touch below his pace from his 24-point rookie season over 63 games in 2023-24.

Frost notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Frost is up to three points over six games since he was traded to the Flames. This was his first power-play point with his new team, though he is seeing time on the first unit, which has been pretty productive lately. Frost now has 28 points, 99 shots on net, 41 hits, 40 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 55 appearances. His third-line role at even strength doesn't bode well for consistent offense outside of power-play situations.

Huberdeau logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Huberdeau had to wait two weeks to extend his point streak to five games, but he did it, setting up Joel Hanley's game-winning goal in the third period. During the streak, Huberdeau has two goals and four assists. He's up to 42 points, 105 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-7 rating over 56 appearances this season while seeing steady top-line time.

Rooney scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Rooney buried a goal from close range at 3:35 of the second period, giving the Flames their first lead of the contest. It was his first point in over two months -- he last got on the scoresheet Dec. 10 versus the Predators with a two-point game. Rooney has surpassed his 2023-24 production, earning four goals, one assist, 34 shots on net, 72 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 45 appearances this season. However, if the Flames upgrade their roster at the trade deadline, he could find himself out of the lineup or off the NHL roster altogether.

Kadri scored a power-play goal on six shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Kadri reached the 20-goal mark for the fourth year in a row when he scored in the first period. He also had a hand in Joel Hanley's third-period game-winner. Kadri has three goals and five assists during his six-game point streak spanning all of February. The 34-year-old center is up to 42 points (15 on the power play), 189 shots on net, 38 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 56 appearances. He could push for a 30-goal, 60-point campaign if he stays healthy.

Crosby compiled an assist, five shots on goal, one blocked shot, one hit, one takeaway and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Crosby registered the primary helper on Ryan Shea's second goal of the game at 3:31 of the third period. Crosby's point streak is up to seven games -- he has five goals and four assists in that span. After bringing home more hardware at the 4 Nations Face-Off with Team Canada, Crosby is doing everything he can on offense to will his team to the postseason, but Pittsburgh's defense and goaltending situation has been less than ideal. The all-world center is spearheading the Penguins in scoring with 60 points (18 goals, 42 assists) through 57 outings in 2024-25. The closest Penguin to Crosby in terms of offensive production, Rickard Rakell, has 49 points in 58 games, which highlights just how much the former is being relied on at 37 years old.
