Gaudreau netted a power-play goal on two shots and went plus-1 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Gaudreau's tally was a fortunate one, as his shot was headed wide of the target before it careened off Tony DeAngelo into the back of the net. This was Gaudreau's third power-play marker of the season, matching his career high. Through 56 appearances this season, the Quebec native has chipped in 11 goals and 24 points while filling a middle-six role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit. Gaudreau is currently converting at the best rate of his career with a 14.5 shooting percentage.

Dorofeyev netted a goal, took three shots and tallied four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win against Boston.

Dorofeyev found the twine less than five minutes into the third period to tie the game at three apiece. The 24-year-old left winger has 23 goals, 36 points and 165 shots on net in 56 games this season. Dorofeyev's breakout season offensively continues and he is tied for 21st in goals across the league. He has become a staple in the Golden Knights' top six at even strength and on the first power-play unit. The third-round selection in 2019 is slated for a strong final stretch of the season and could pass the 30-goal threshold while skating with some of the most consistent playmakers in the Pacific Division.

Rossi found the back of the net on two shots and went plus-1 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Rossi's 19th goal of the campaign opened the scoring at 3:19 of the opening frame -- he received a pass from Matt Boldy in the slot and fired a wrist shot past Ilya Sorokin's blocker. This was Rossi's first point through four games in February. The left-shot center heads into the break with 28 assists, 47 points and a plus-15 rating over 56 appearances. The 23-year-old has already set new career highs in assists and points, and he'll look to add to his totals when Minnesota resumes play Feb. 22 in Detroit.

Hertl scored the game-winning goal and took three shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 win against Boston.

Hertl's goal won the game for the Golden Knights with under two minutes to go when he hit a turnaround shot in front of the crease. Hertl's tally brings his season totals up to 21 goals, 42 points and 140 shots on net in 56 games this season. The 31-year-old center has four goals in his past seven outings. He continues to shoot the puck more frequently than he did a season ago, leading to four more goals and counting than he had during the 2023-24 campaign. Hertl has cemented his role on Vegas' second line and first power-play unit. He should make a push toward the 60-70 point threshold and holds great value in fantasy the rest of the way.

Schenn collected two assists in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over Chicago.

The veteran center was also one of only two St. Louis skaters to get a puck past Arvid Soderblom in the 10-round shootout, but that was enough for Jordan Binnington. Schenn has stepped up his production since the calendar flipped to 2025, and over 17 games since the beginning of January, he's delivered five goals and 12 points with 54 hits, 24 shots on net and 13 PIM.

Poturalski was loaned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.

Poturalski has one assist, five shots on goal and four blocked shots in three NHL appearances this season. He has produced 18 goals and 45 points in 41 minor-league outings during the 2024-25 campaign.

Thomas produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over Chicago.

The Blues nearly squandered a 3-2 lead in a wild third period, but Thomas banged home a rebound with less than five minutes left in regulation to tie the game at 5-5. The 25-year-old center has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, although Saturday's multi-point effort was his first since Jan. 9, and Thomas will head into the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off with 13 goals and 41 points in 44 appearances on the season.

Graf was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Sunday.

Graf has one goal, two assists, 11 shots on net, eight blocked shots and 11 hits in 13 NHL outings this season. The 22-year-old forward has eight goals and 22 assists through 33 AHL appearances in the 2024-25 campaign.

Wiesblatt was returned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.

Wiesblatt had one shot on goal and one hit in 13:06 of ice time during Saturday's 6-4 win over Buffalo. He hasn't earned a point in three NHL outings this season but has 11 goals and 12 assists in 41 minor-league appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. Wiesblatt might be an option for the Predators after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off if Luke Evangelista (lower body), Mark Jankowski (upper body) and Zachary L'Heureux (upper body) remain unavailable.

Teravainen scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues.

He was also the only Chicago skater to solve Jordan Binnington in the 10-round shootout. Teravainen is set to represent Team Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off, and the streaky winger will head into the tournament on a heater, having delivered three straight two-point performances. On the season, Teravainen has 12 goals and 40 points in 55 appearances.
