Rasmus Andersson D | LV
Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Nets goal in win
Andersson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Andersson snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. He had been limited to two assists over his previous 10 outings. The 29-year-old hasn't had as much room for his offense to shine in Vegas, but he's playing a key top-four role for a contender. He's at a career-high 12 goals this season, and he's added 25 assists, 145 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 contests between Vegas and Calgary.

Pavel Dorofeyev RW | LV
Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Another big game in win
Dorofeyev scored two power-play goals on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Dorofeyev opened and closed the scoring, and he also had a helper on a Rasmus Andersson tally. With back-to-back three-point efforts, Dorofeyev is thriving, especially on the power play, where he ranks second in the league with 18 goals, four back of Dallas' Wyatt Johnston. Overall, Dorofeyev has 34 goals, 23 assists, 27 power-play points, 189 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 67 appearances. He's been worth the price of admission for fantasy managers who bought into his 35-goal, 52-point regular season a year ago.

Adin Hill G | LV
Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Logs 21-save shutout
Hill recorded a 21-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Hill got a little help from a video review that wiped out a Chicago goal for a hand pass. This was his first shutout of the campaign, and it continues a run of improved play -- he's allowed just 10 goals over his last five appearances. Hill is up to 8-6-3 with a 3.05 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 19 starts. He's started four straight contests, so the heavier workload may be helping him to get into a rhythm. The Golden Knights have a tough task ahead when they host the Sabres on Tuesday.

Spencer Knight G | CHI
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: On wrong side of shutout
Knight stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Vegas.
Three of the goals against came in a span of 3:27 in the middle of the first period. Knight has lost five of his last six outings, but this was the first time he allowed four goals since Jan. 25 versus the Panthers. Knight is now at a 17-19-8 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 44 starts in his first year as a full-time starter. The Blackhawks' schedule doesn't get easier next week, as they have a home-and-home with the Wild before facing the Avalanche on the second half of a back-to-back, which makes Knight a risky fantasy option in the short term.

Aatu Raty C | VAN
Canucks' Aatu Raty: Quiet on offense
Raty's point drought reached 13 games in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.
Raty is playing regularly again after the Canucks shipped David Kampf to the Capitals at the trade deadline. That hasn't helped Raty's offense -- in addition to the point drought, he's gone 24 contests without a goal, posting just one assist in that span. His work early in the campaign means he still has a career year with 12 points over 50 outings, and he's brought a physical edge with 119 hits, but there's not much to like about a bottom-six forward on a low-scoring team when it comes to fantasy value.

Marco Rossi C | VAN
Canucks' Marco Rossi: Tallies late goal in loss
Rossi scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.
Rossi has three goals and four assists over his last seven contests, so it looks like he's starting to put things together. His tally Saturday was too late to make an impact on the game. The 24-year-old center is at eight goals, 22 points, 47 shots on net, 23 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating across 34 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild this season.

Evander Kane LW | VAN
Canucks' Evander Kane: Finds twine in loss
Kane scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.
Kane snapped a three-game point drought with the effort. He missed two contests in that span, one due to an illness and another for an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old looks set to get top-six minutes to close out 2025-26 before reaching free agency. Kane has produced 12 goals, 28 points, 152 shots on net, 103 hits, 78 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 63 appearances on the NHL's worst team this season.

Nikita Tolopilo G | VAN
Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Surrenders five goals
Tolopilo stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.
Tolopilo had won his last two outings, but the Kraken were too much for him to handle. The 25-year-old netminder is down to 5-6-2 with a 3.34 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 15 appearances this season. He continues to battle with Kevin Lankinen for playing time, though the Canucks will likely have their eyes on the draft lottery given how far adrift they are in the standings. The Canucks host the Panthers on Tuesday and the Lightning on Thursday, so Tolopilo is best avoided in weekly fantasy formats.

Brandon Montour D | SEA
Kraken's Brandon Montour: Deals two helpers Saturday
Montour registered two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Montour had been limited to one goal over his previous six outings. He helped out on tallies by Jared McCann and Jamie Oleksiak in this win while also leading the Kraken in ice time (23:10). Montour is up to 26 points, 118 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 53 hits and a minus-3 rating over 47 appearances. He continues to provide decent all-around production in fantasy.

Jordan Eberle RW | SEA
Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Distributes three assists in win
Eberle logged three assists and went plus-4 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Eberle has gone six games without a goal, but he has six helpers in that span. He assisted on tallies by Jared McCann, Bobby McMann and Matty Beniers in this contest. Eberle is up to 47 points (22 goals, 25 helpers) with 141 shots on net, 45 hits, 36 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 63 appearances in a top-line role this season.
