Duchene scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-2 win over the Devils on Saturday.

Duchene pushed the score to 3-1 at the midpoint of the third period when he cut into the high slot, took a pass from Jamie Benn and wired a wrist shot through a screen and past Jake Allen. The goal stood as the winner. Duchene is on a three-game goal streak (five goals, three assists), and at 34, he's toying with his first point-per-game season since 2021-22 in Nashville. He has 23 goals and 34 assists for 57 points in 56 games this year.

Pettersson (undisclosed) will play Saturday versus Vegas, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Pettersson was a game-time decision due to an injury sustained while playing for Team Sweden during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has 11 goals and 34 points in 49 outings with Vancouver this season. Pettersson will play between Jake DeBrusk and Kiefer Sherwood against the Golden Knights.

Savoie picked up an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.

He earned his first NHL point in his second career appearance. Savoie set up Leon Draisaitl at the midway point of the first period to put Edmonton up 2-1. The 21-year-old Savoie has 13 goals and 37 points in 45 games with AHL Bakersfield this season.

Draisaitl scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Philadelphia.

Draisaitl has 11 points (six goals, five assists) during a seven-game point streak, including four straight multi-point efforts. He has 41 goals and 85 points in 56 games this season. Draisaitl has a firm grip on the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy right now, with an eight-goal advantage on William Nylander. Draisaitl is also two points behind league leader Nathan MacKinnon. Draisaitl swept the Art Ross Trophy, Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award in 2020, but he could do one better with four awards this season. He's been that good.

McMichael tallied an assist, a plus-3 rating and three shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.

McMichael has points in five of his last six games and has mustered three goals and 12 points in 19 games since the calendar turned over into 2025. The 23-year-old has a chance to post his first 60-point campaign if he can stay hot down the stretch and should provide solid dividends for fantasy managers in the process.

Protas tallied a goal and added three shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.

Protas continues his breakout campaign and has notched five goals and 11 points over his last 11 games. The hulking winger is marching toward his first 50-point season and is a worthwhile play in any fantasy format.

Strome tallied a power-play goal and added three shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.

During his season-long, seven-game point streak, Strome has compiled five goals and four assists. The 27-year-old continues to march toward new career highs with 17 goals and 55 points through 56 appearances. He is a must-start in any fantasy format.

Rossi produced one goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Detroit.

Rossi had the primary helper on Marcus Foligno's game-tying goal at the 18:29 mark of the third period before scoring the winner at 3:35 of overtime. Following a three-game scoring slump, the 23-year-old Rossi has two goals and one helper in his last two outings. He has 20 tallies and 49 points through 57 appearances this season.

Frank tallied a goal and added two shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Penguins.

Frank's marker in the first period snapped a seven-game point drought. The 27-year-old has undoubtedly provided a spark for Washington's bottom six since his recall, but Frank will need to produce with more consistency to keep a regular spot in the lineup for the high-flying Capitals.

Couturier scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.

His line delivered eight points in the game. Matvei Michkov also put up a goal and two helpers, and Owen Tippett scored twice. Each player finished with a plus-5 rating. Couturier's goal was his 200th in the NHL, and it was his first in 11 games (three assists). Despite the strong showing, Couturier's fantasy outlook remains unchanged. With just nine goals, 19 assists and 96 shots, Couturier is on pace for another sub-40-point season. There are plenty of centers worthy of more fantasy attention.
