Fox pocketed two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Both helpers came in the third period as the Rangers rallied late from a 2-1 deficit. Fox has yet to go more than one game in a row this season without getting onto the scoresheet, racking up two goals and 21 points in 17 contests -- putting him third in the NHL in scoring among blueliners, behind the Oilers' Evan Bouchard (30 points) and the Wild's Quinn Hughes (22).

Garand stopped 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Both goals on the 24-year-old netminder came in a two-minute span in the second period, one on a screened shot from the blue line and the other during a scrum right in front of his crease. Otherwise, Garand shut down the visitors, and he got rewarded when the Rangers rallied in the final frame. It's his second straight win after four straight losses, and during a streak of 12 consecutive appearances following a season-ending knee injury to Igor Shesterkin, Garand's gone 5-6-1 with a 2.76 GAA and .899 save percentage. His workload will lessen once Joonas Korpisalo (foot) is cleared to make his 2026-27 debut, after his current conditioning stint at AHL Hartford is done.

Benoit scored a goal on his only shot while adding two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Skating on the third pairing with Nick Seeler, Benoit got Philly on the board midway through the second period with a quick shot from the blue line that a screened Dylan Garand didn't pick up until it was too late. It was Benoit's first goal, and first point, of the season, but supplying offense isn't why he's in the lineup. Through 13 games, the 28-year-old defenseman has contributed 29 hits, 18 PIM, 11 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating.

Woll made 25 saves in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

The Flyers held a 2-1 lead with about six minutes left in the third period before the victory slipped through their fingers, and while one of the Rangers' late goals came on a power play, both came on shots that Woll got a clean look at. The former Maple Leaf remains stuck on one win for the season, going 1-6-2 in nine outings with a 3.12 GAA and .898 save percentage while working in a timeshare with Dan Vladar.

Girgensons notched an assist, five shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Girgensons missed three games due to a lower-body injury, and he had gone five contests without a point prior to that stretch. The 32-year-old returned to center the third line, and he delivered a helper on Ilya Mikheyev's second goal of the game. Girgensons has three points, 19 shots, 34 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 12 outings this season. If he can pick up the pace on offense, he'll have modest appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Koepke scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Koepke has a goal and an assist over two games since he sat out one contest due to an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old forward is up to three points, 13 shots, 28 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Koepke is likely to continue seeing a decent share of playing time on the Jets' fourth line.

Pionk scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Pionk has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to fill in as Winnipeg's top blueliner, and it's led to enhanced all-around production lately. He has a total of four goals, seven assists, 42 shots on net, 40 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances. Pionk's multi-category skills make him a reliable depth defensemen in fantasy.

Juulsen produced an assist and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.

This was Juulsen's second helper of the season. The 29-year-old defenseman has added four shots on net, 28 hits, 16 blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating. The 29-year-old is set for steady playing time while Josh Manson (ankle) is out for the better part of the next two months. Juulsen's appeal is highest in banger leagues, as he won't be a steady source of offense in the long run.

Kelly scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.

Kelly's second period tally ultimately forced overtime. The 27-year-old has scored twice over his last five games, but his offense has largely been inconsistent this season. He's up to three goals, four assists, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 13 blocked shots, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances on the year.

Schwartz scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.

Schwartz has four goals and two assists over his last seven outings. The 34-year-old has had two good stretches this season, though a cold spell in between them has highlighted the risks involved in his current middle-six role with the Avalanche. He's produced a total of seven goals, five assists, 32 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 17 appearances this season.
