  • Rangers' Matthew Robertson: First career multi-point game

    Robertson had two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

    Robertson had the primary helper on both goals scored by New York in the second period, which were just 36 seconds apart. His first career multi-point effort brings Robertson's season totals up to four assists, five points, 36 hits and 35 blocks through 24 games. The 24-year-old rookie has four of his five points this season over the last nine games and has remained a steady source of hits and blocks all year. While he's not quite yet at the level to make an impact in most fantasy formats, Robertson could become a streaming option in deep leagues if his current run of offensive contributions keeps up.

  • Jets' Josh Morrissey: Two helpers against Caps

    Morrissey pocketed two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 win over Washington.

    The star blueliner had a hand in Logan Stanley's opening tally in the first period and a Gabriel Vilardi power-play strike late in the second. Morrissey has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games, and on the season he's produced five goals and 28 points in 31 contests while adding 59 blocked shots, 54 shots on net and a plus-12 rating.

    Oilers' Alec Regula: Gets first point of season

    Regula logged an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Regula finally earned his first point as an Oiler after being plucked off waivers one year and two days ago. He missed all of 2024-25 with a knee injury and dealt with an undisclosed injury in October, so his acclimation to the Oilers hasn't been easy. He's at one helper, 11 shots on net, 11 PIM, 12 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 18 appearances. He's virtually guaranteed a spot in the lineup following the Oilers' dealings Friday, which sent Brett Kulak to Pittsburgh and brought Spencer Stastney in from Nashville. Once Jake Walman (lower body) is healthy, Regula will compete with Ty Emberson and Stastney to round out the Oilers' blue line.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Scores go-ahead goal

    Nurse scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Nurse had been limited to two assists over his previous nine games. His tally late in the second period gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead, setting the stage for their dominant final frame. Nurse is up to six goals, six helpers, 75 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 46 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 32 appearances in a top-four role this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Snaps five-game point drought

    Ekman-Larsson scored a goal Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

    He wired a shot glove side from the high slot to put the Leafs up 2-1 early in the second period. It was Ekman-Larsson's first point in six games. He's on a pace that could see him equal his career mark of 55 points, which he set 10 years ago. His success that season came on the strength of power-play production, where he recorded half of his points. Ekman-Larsson is doing it the hard way this year, with just three of his 21 points coming with the man advantage.

  • Sharks' Sam Dickinson: Notches helper Saturday

    Dickinson posted an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.

    Dickinson had gone 12 games without a point, posting a minus-6 rating and 12 blocked shots in that span. The Sharks have sheltered him on the third pairing, but he's played in all seven games in December since the team hasn't had a back-to-back set yet this month. Dickinson's at three points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 26 appearances so far. He's already burned the first year of his entry-level deal, but the 19-year-old's participation in the upcoming World Junior Championship hasn't been decided upon yet. He may benefit from a couple of weeks away from the NHL to build some confidence since he hasn't been logging much ice time or offense in his rookie year.

    Lightning's J.J. Moser: Three points in last two games

    Moser scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders.

    Moser cut in from the left point, took a pass from Nikita Kucherov and ripped a shot past Ilya Sorokin's glove. It tied the game 2-2 early in the third period. Moser now has three points (one goal, two assists) and seven shots in his last two games. He is also plus-3 in that span.

  • Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Dishes two assists

    Girard logged two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.

    Girard has earned three helpers over his last two games after going 10 contests without a point. His offense may continue to fluctuate, as the Avalanche's good health on the blue line has Girard in a third-pairing role. The 27-year-old has collected five helpers, 12 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-5 rating across 17 appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Three-game goal streak

    Raddysh scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders.

    Raddysh one-timed a point shot past Ilya Sorokin in the second period to cut the score to 2-1. His goal streak stands at three games and four goals (one assist). Two of the goals have come with the man advantage. Raddysh continues to excel in the number one role on the blue line in Victor Hedman's (undisclosed) absence.

  • Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Adjusting quickly to AHL

    Simashev posted three assists and a plus-4 rating in AHL Tucson's 8-7 overtime loss to Bakersfield on Saturday.

    Simashev took a couple of games to get acclimated with the Roadrunners, but he's earned five points over his last three outings. The 20-year-old defenseman's stay in the minors will probably be temporary, but the Mammoth are opting for a more veteran core of blueliners for the time being. Simashev had one helper and a minus-9 rating in his first 24 NHL appearances prior to his demotion, but playing in the AHL looks to be getting his confidence up again.
