    Devils' Jesper Bratt: Produces pair of helpers

    Bratt notched two assists, three hits and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

    Bratt helped out on both of Jack Hughes' tallies, one at even strength and the other on the power play. The 26-year-old Bratt has excelled in a playmaking role in December, posting three goals, 11 assists and 14 shots on net over 10 games this month. For the season, the winger has 14 goals, 31 helpers, 87 shots on net, 41 hits and a plus-13 rating over 37 appearances.

  • Devils' Stefan Noesen: Adds insurance tally

    Noesen scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

    Noesen has scored in three of the last four games. His goal Monday stretched the Devils' lead to 4-0. The 31-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 25 points, 83 shots on net, 85 hits, 21 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 37 appearances. Noesen is getting time on the second line and second power-play unit, so he should be rostered in most formats, especially those that count hits.

  • Timo Meier RW | NJ

    Devils' Timo Meier: Another two-point effort

    Meier scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

    Meier has scored in four of the last five games and has added three assists in that span. His goal Monday was his first power-play point since Nov. 30. The winger is up to 13 goals, 27 points (six on the power play), 114 shots on net, 62 hits, 33 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 36 appearances. Meier's put up a 60-point pace while remaining a volume shooter and a heavy hitter, which means he's living up to expectations in fantasy.

  • Radko Gudas D | ANA

    Ducks' Radko Gudas: Supplies assist in loss

    Gudas notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Gudas has earned three helpers over his last four games. The 34-year-old defenseman has seen his ice time drop since the Ducks traded for Jacob Trouba -- the two blueliners play a largely similar game, though Trouba has more scoring potential. Gudas is at six helpers, 29 shots on net, 40 PIM, 72 blocked shots, 106 hits and a minus-3 rating over 33 appearances this season.

  • Robby Fabbri C | ANA

    Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Contributes helper Monday

    Fabbri notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Fabbri has five points over six games since he returned from a knee surgery. The 28-year-old winger is clicking with Mason McTavish on the third line, giving the Ducks a bit more scoring depth. Fabbri is up to seven points, 25 shots on net, 35 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's not exactly known for his physical play, and his offense is fine for his role, but it won't be enough to win over many fantasy managers.

  • Ducks' Mason McTavish: Nets lone goal in loss

    McTavish scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    McTavish has a goal and an assist over the last two games. The 21-year-old center is up to four goals, 10 helpers, 48 shots on net, 24 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 27 appearances this season. He continues to add some depth scoring from a third-line role, but it's likely too little to make him a major factor in fantasy.

  • Lukas Dostal G | ANA

    Ducks' Lukas Dostal: Takes loss in relief appearance

    Dostal stopped 19 of 22 shots in relief of John Gibson (upper body) in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Gibson exited late in the first period after taking a stick in the face. That drew a penalty, but Dostal allowed a shorthanded goal to Tanner Pearson to open the scoring. The Golden Knights would add another two goals in the third to send Dostal to the loss, his first in three outings. The 24-year-old netminder is now 8-9-3 with a 2.77 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. Dostal has done well to keep the Ducks competitive, but it's unclear if Gibson's injury will force him to miss additional time. Anaheim exits the holiday break by hosting the Flyers on Saturday and the Oilers on Sunday.

  • Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Deals helper Monday

    Karlsson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Karlsson extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) after setting up a Keegan Kolesar tally in the third period. For the season, Karlsson has 16 points, 59 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 25 appearances. He's trending upward, and that's come with a lineup adjustment that has Karlsson and Tomas Hertl coexisting on the second line rather than having each of them center their own trio.

  • Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Registers assist

    Theodore logged an assist an went plus-2 in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Theodore continues to play well in December -- he has three goals and seven helpers over his last nine outings. The defenseman helped out on Tomas Hertl's game-winning tally in this contest. Theodore is up to four goals, 24 assists, 62 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances this season.

  • Jack Eichel C | LV

    Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Posts assist in win

    Eichel notched an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Eichel set up Tomas Hertl's goal in the third period, which was the game-winner. With six helpers over his last five contests, Eichel has remained productive despite going six games without a goal. The center has nine tallies, 36 assists, 98 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 34 appearances in a top-line role this season.
