Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Nelson's second-period tally was the game-winner, and he also set up linemate Kyle Palmieri's two goals. This was Nelson's first multi-point effort since Oct. 25, and his third such game of the campaign. The 33-year-old center is up to eight tallies, five assists, 64 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 21 appearances in a second-line role. He's right on track for a fourth straight 30-goal campaign, though a drop in his assist totals could see him struggle to reach the 50-point mark without a turnaround. That said, his goal was his first power-play point of the year, so he's due for some improvement in that area.

Giroux had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Canucks on Saturday.

Giroux helped key a third-period push with a power-play goal late in the frame; his goal pushed the score to 4-2. November hasn't been kind to Giroux, who has just four points, three of which have come in the last two games, in 11 outings. He's a bit of a fantasy risk right now until the team, which is on a five-game losing skid, finds some consistency.

Palmieri scored two goals on four shots, including one into an empty net, in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Palmieri stepped up after the Islanders suffered consecutive 2-1 defeats, which were both games where he was held off the scoresheet. He tallied late in the first period and again in the final minute of the third for his fifth multi-point effort and first multi-goal game of the season. Palmieri is up to nine tallies, 18 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 21 contests overall while holding steady in a second-line role.

Sorokin stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Sorokin was only bested by a Jake Neighbours power-play tally early in the third period. This was Sorokin's first win in five outings -- he had allowed 13 goals while going 0-2-2 over his last four starts. For the season, the 29-year-old is at a 5-5-3 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Islanders' lack of offense is a concern, but Sorokin should at least offer good ratios. The Islanders face the Red Wings on Monday after losing 2-1 in Detroit on Thursday, with Sorokin stopping 29 of 31 shots in that outing.

Theodore had two assists, three shots on net, three blocks, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

Theodore hasn't scored since the second game of the season, but he's been a playmaker for Vegas. The top-pair defenseman is tied for second on the team with 15 assists through 20 appearances.

Werenski notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Werenski helped out on a Dmitri Voronkov tally in the second period. While it wasn't a repeat effort of his five-point game from Thursday, Werenski has now gotten on the scoresheet in five straight contests (three goals, seven assists). The 27-year-old defenseman is operating at a point-per-game pace with six tallies and 14 assists through 20 outings, and eight of his points have come on the power play. He's added a plus-4 rating, 76 shots on net and 32 blocked shots. He just has to keep the injury bug at bay -- doing so will likely result in him resetting his career high in points for the second year in a row, with 57 being the mark to beat.

Lankinen made 26 saves in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

He bent but didn't break late in the third period when the Senators stormed the castle. Lankinen allowed two late goals in a 2:47 span with the Sens net empty and the extra attacker on the ice. One of those goals came while the Sens were up six-on-four, and Lanks barely had a chance. Still, it was a strong rebound for Lankinen, who'd been lit up for 16 goals in his previous four games. His play continues to give the Orcas a chance while Thatcher Demko (knee) is on IR.

Monahan notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Monahan set up Kirill Marchenko's goal to tie the game with 1:06 left in regulation. In the shootout, Monahan had the lone tally to complete the Blue Jackets' comeback for the team's third straight win. The center has a goal and eight assists over his last five contests. He's up to seven goals, 13 helpers, 58 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 20 appearances in a top-line role.

Hanifin had two assists and four blocks in Saturday's 6-2 win over Montreal.

Hanifin logged assists on Vegas' fourth and fifth goals, giving him three in the last two games. Through 21 outings, Hanifin has three goals, eight assists, 14 shots, 36 blocked shots, six PIM and an even rating.

Johnson provided two assists, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Johnson's first helper was on a Dmitri Voronkov power-play tally, and he also assisted on Kirill Marchenko's game-tying goal in the third period. With two goals and two assists over two contests since his return from a shoulder injury, Johnson is locked in. What's better is that he's seeing time in all situations. The 22-year-old is up to nine points (four on the power play, two shorthanded), 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six appearances. He's got the skill to take the Blue Jackets' offense to the next level.
