Ryan Pulock D | NYI
Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Chips in goal in home win
Pulock scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Pulock capped the scoring in Saturday's contest, beating Alexandar Georgiev with a slap shot from the blue line at 1:03 of the third period. Pulock is on pace for his highest offensive output since 2019-20, but his level of production still isn't enough to earn fantasy consideration in most formats. The right-shot defenseman has chipped in three goals, 13 helpers and a plus-5 rating through 45 appearances in 2024-25. In addition to his second-pairing role, Pulock is currently manning the No. 2 power-play unit.

Noah Dobson D | MON
Islanders' Noah Dobson: Snaps goal drought Saturday
Dobson recorded a goal on three shots, two hits, one takeaway and one blocked shot in a team-high 24:30 of ice time Saturday in a 4-1 win over San Jose.
Dobson registered his sixth goal of the campaign at even strength when he ripped a slap shot from the point past Alexandar Georgiev just over a minute into the final stanza. This was Dobson's first marker since Dec. 21 against Toronto. The right-shot blueliner could still surpass his 10 goals from last season, but he's on pace to fall well short of the 60 helpers he produced in 2023-24. Dobson's at six goals, 23 points, 16 PIM, 141 shots on goal, 38 hits, 81 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 45 appearances in 2024-25.

Nick Jensen D | OTT
Senators' Nick Jensen: Two points in shootout win
Jensen scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins.
After having a hand in an Adam Gaudette tally early in the first period that opened the scoring, Jensen sparked a Sens rally from a 5-3 deficit late in the third by slipping a shot through heavy traffic and past Jeremy Swayman. It was Jensen's first goal and first multi-point performance since Dec. 13, but he's been picking up his scoring pace in January, collecting five points in the last seven contests.

Mason Lohrei D | BOS
Bruins' Mason Lohrei: Two helpers Saturday
Lohrei picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Senators.
Both helpers came in the first period on the Bruins' first two goals in the wild back-and-forth contest. Having moved onto the first power-play unit with Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) and Hampus Lindholm (lower body) both sidelined, Lohrei has popped for a goal and five points over the last four games. Three of those assists have come with the man advantage.

Tyler Myers D | DAL
Canucks' Tyler Myers: Hearing scheduled
Myers will have a hearing with NHL Player Safety for a cross-check on Evan Bouchard in Saturday's 3-2 win over Edmonton.
Myers received a match penalty following a scrum late in the game, and the blueliner would miss additional time if his hearing leads to a suspension. Through 45 games this season, Myers has two goals, 13 points and a minus-5 rating. Guillaume Brisebois would figure to enter the lineup should Myers miss time.

Seth Jones D | FLA
Blackhawks' Seth Jones: Outstanding in win Saturday
Jones recorded an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Jones had his most productive game of the season Saturday, tying his season high with three points. The blueliner extended his point streak to three games (one goal, four assists), and he's cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last 11 appearances. Over that 11-game stretch, Jones has tallied nine points (two goals, seven assists), four PIM, 17 shots, 12 hits and 15 blocked shots.

Moritz Seider D | DET
Red Wings' Moritz Seider: Nabs power-play apple in defeat
Seider compiled a power-play assist, five shots on goal, eight hits and two takeaways in 24:21 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
Seider helped out on Lucas Raymond's marker on the man advantage in an eventful second period that saw a combined five goals. Seider has assists in back-to-back games and three of his last four, but he hasn't found the back of the net since Dec. 14. The right-shot blueliner has covered for the lack of goal scoring with eight helpers through as many games in January. On the season, Detroit's No. 1 defenseman has provided four goals and 28 points through 45 contests.

Victor Hedman D | TB
Lightning's Victor Hedman: Notches apple Saturday
Hedman logged an even-strength assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Hedman recorded the primary assist on Nikita Kucherov's 21st goal of the campaign early in the second period. The 34-year-old Hedman has produced two goals and five helpers during his six-game point streak, marking his longest run of offensive success this season. The Swedish blueliner is up to seven goals, 36 points (14 with the man advantage), 22 PIM, 101 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 42 outings.

Kaiden Guhle D | MON
Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Plucks apple in loss
Guhle posted an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Guhle has been alright in January with three points, 14 shots on net, 19 hits and 22 blocked shots over eight outings this month. The 23-year-old blueliner still makes more of an impact with physical play rather than offense. He's at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 61 hits, 94 blocks, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 39 contests in a top-four role this season.

Morgan Rielly D | TOR
Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Sends shorthanded assist
Rielly logged a shorthanded assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canadiens.
Rielly logged a season-low 16:27 of ice time -- he hadn't been under the 18-minute mark previously in 2024-25. His helper ended a four-game dry spell. The 30-year-old blueliner has 21 points, 82 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 47 appearances. This was Rielly's first shorthanded point since the 2021-22 campaign, and he's been limited to seven power-play points this season.
