  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Produces two helpers

    Bouchard notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added five blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kings.

    Bouchard has racked up two goals and four helpers over four games in January. He has at least one power-play point in each of those contests. For the season, the high-scoring blueliner is up to 43 points (nine goals, 34 assists), 112 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 45 appearances.

  • Kings' Brandt Clarke: Registers two helpers Saturday

    Clarke logged two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-1 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Oilers.

    Clarke set up Corey Perry's power-play goal in the first period and an even-strength tally by Alex Laferriere in the third. The 22-year-old Clarke has earned six helpers, including three on the power play, over his last nine outings. For the season, the defenseman is up to 21 points (five on the power play), 87 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 44 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Nets game-winner in return

    Theodore scored the game-winning goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

    Theodore missed 11 games due to an upper-body injury. He returned Saturday and led the Golden Knights with 21:57 of ice time, so he looks prepared to handle a full workload moving forward. The 30-year-old's tally also stood as the game-winner, his third such goal this season. The defenseman is at five goals, 21 points, 76 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 32 appearances. Theodore should be productive if he can stay healthy for the remainder of the campaign, though that's no guarantee -- he's missed at least 15 contests in each of the last three campaigns.

  • Daemon Hunt D | MIN

    Wild's Daemon Hunt: Nabs helper in overtime loss

    Hunt notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    The assist was Hunt's first point in two games since he returned from missing 10 contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old is filling a third-pairing role now that he's healthy again, giving him low fantasy upside. He's earned three assists, four shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-4 rating over 14 outings this season.

  • Quinn Hughes D | MIN

    Wild's Quinn Hughes: Contributes three more assists

    Hughes posted three assists, including one on the power play, and eight shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Hughes has earned 12 helpers over his last eight contests. The dynamic defenseman's offense has been as steady as ever with 16 points across 14 contests since the Wild acquired him from the Canucks. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to three goals, 36 assists, 18 power-play points, 111 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 40 appearances.

  • Islanders' Tony DeAngelo: Dishes pair of helpers

    DeAngelo notched two assists, five shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    DeAngelo has six points and a plus-7 rating over five contests in January. That's already better than the four assists he put up in all of December. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to 19 points, 80 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 33 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 45 appearances this season, matching his scoring output from 35 outings in 2024-25. He doesn't have as much room to operate now that Matthew Schaefer is leading the Islanders' blue line, but DeAngelo is still scoring enough to help in fantasy.

  • Blackhawks' Kevin Korchinski: Picks up helper

    Korchinski notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

    Korchinski had poor results against the Capitals on Friday but put together a better effort in Saturday's game. The 21-year-old blueliner will stay in the lineup as long as Louis Crevier (illness) is out. Korchinski had 19 points in 32 AHL games with Rockford prior to his call-up, but his consistency at the NHL level is still a work in progress, and he's struggled to keep up with the Blackhawks' other defensive prospects.

  • Jake McCabe D | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Back after missing two games

    McCabe had one shot on goal and logged 17:58 of ice time in Saturday's 5-0 win over Vancouver.

    McCabe missed two games with a lower-body injury before returning quicker than expected in Saturday's win. He has 104 blocks, 58 hits and 29 shots to go along with 16 points (three goals, 13 assists) in 42 games.

  • Noah Juulsen D | PHI

    Flyers' Noah Juulsen: Pockets assist in loss

    Juulsen provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Lightning.

    Juulsen logged a helper on Garnet Hathaway's goal in the first period. Juulsen has made four appearances in the Flyers' last 13 games, though he should have a short-term path to playing time while Jamie Drysdale (upper body) is on injured reserve. Juulsen is at six points, 19 shots on net, 62 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 30 outings this season.

  • Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Notches three helpers

    Simashev logged three assists in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime win over Iowa on Saturday.

    Simashev has maintained a point-per-game pace since he went down to the AHL, and this was his second three-assist effort. He has four goals and 10 helpers over 14 outings, while adding a plus-4 rating and 34 shots on net. Simashev has a promising future, but a little developmental time at Tucson is working wonders for the blueliner's production and confidence.
