Theodore had a hand in all of the Golden Knights' scoring plays in this game. He has a goal and nine assists during his current five-game point streak, and he's earned a power-play point in four of those contests. Overall, Theodore is up to 43 points -- surpassing his total from 47 outings in the 2023-24 regular season -- while adding 90 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 46 games in 2024-25. Theodore also has a career-best 17 power-play points this season.

Philip Broberg D | STL
Blues' Philip Broberg: Nabs helper Monday
Broberg notched an assist in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Broberg ended an eight-game point drought when he set up a Nathan Walker tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Broberg hasn't found much success lately, as the Blues' addition of Cam Fowler has taken Broberg out of the power-play mix. Overall, Broberg has 15 points, 47 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 35 appearances.

Fowler's tally put the Blues ahead 4-2 late in the second period. The Golden Knights bounced back in the third, but the Blues prevailed in the end. Fowler's not slowing down in January, earning six points over his last nine outings. He's up to 17 points, 45 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 35 appearances between St. Louis and Anaheim this season, though 13 of those points have come in 18 games with the Blues.

Mattias Samuelsson D | BUF
Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Ends slump Monday
Samuelsson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Samuelsson snapped a six-game point drought, which also included him missing two contests due to an illness. Don't count on Samuelsson to be a regular on the scoresheet -- he fills a primarily defensive role for the Sabres. The 24-year-old blueliner is at six points, 30 shots on net, 44 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 29 appearances.

Rasmus Dahlin D | BUF
Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Helps out on power play
Dahlin logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.
Dahlin had been held off the scoresheet for two games following the end of a five-game assist streak. The 24-year-old defenseman has 13 helpers over his last 12 outings, including six on the power play. For the season, Dahlin's up to 32 points (14 on the power play), 106 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 44 hits, 26 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances as Buffalo's top blueliner.

Ryker Evans D | SEA
Kraken's Ryker Evans: Dishes pair of assists in win
Evans logged two assists, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
Evans ended a four-game slump with his pair of helpers. The 23-year-old defenseman has seen 20-plus minutes of ice time in five straight games, and he's been on the second pairing since swapping places with Jamie Oleksiak. Evans has 21 points, 46 shots on net, 75 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 46 appearances this season. He scores enough to be a depth option in most fantasy formats.

Jamie Oleksiak D | SEA
Kraken's Jamie Oleksiak: Earns two points Monday
Oleksiak scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
Oleksiak has four points and a plus-6 rating over his last six contests. The defenseman has done more on offense despite moving to the third pairing, a move made by head coach Dan Bylsma to allow Ryker Evans to play a larger role. Oleksiak is at 11 points, 40 shots on net, 39 hits, 102 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 48 appearances, and he is carrying less fantasy value this year since he's not playing as physical a style as he has in past campaigns.

Adam Larsson D | SEA
Kraken's Adam Larsson: Goal, assist in Monday's win
Larsson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
Larsson's third-period tally was the game-winner, and he also helped out on a Jared McCann empty-netter. With four points over his last four contests, Larsson is having one of his best stretches of the season. He's up to three goals, 12 points, 65 shots on net, 60 hits, 102 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 48 outings overall while playing a shutdown role on Seattle's top defensive pairing.

Samuel Girard D | PIT
Avalanche's Samuel Girard: Pockets helper in loss
Girard recorded an assist and three hits in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
The helper was Girard's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The defenseman has resumed his regular role on the second pairing and second power-play unit. He's not a top scorer from the blue line, but his point total of 19 in 45 contests is already better than his 18 points in 59 outings in the 2023-24 regular season. He's added 43 hits, 70 blocked shots, 61 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in 2024-25.

Brandon Carlo D | TOR
Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Gathers helper Monday
Carlo logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Carlo ended a nine-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to fill a shutdown role in Boston's top four. He has six points, 48 shots on net, 51 hits, 101 blocked shots and 18 PIM through 48 appearances. His limited offense will keep him off most fantasy rosters.
