Wolf stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Wolf put in a good performance and got plenty of help from his offense to earn his first win since Oct. 13. He had seemingly lost the starting job to Devin Cooley (lower body), but Wolf will be the starter again while Cooley is on injured reserve. Wolf is 2-4-0 with a 4.39 GAA and an .847 save percentage over seven games this season, so he has a long way to go to earn back trust with fantasy managers. The Flames' next game is in Colorado on Saturday. It's not yet clear if they'll have Wolf start consecutive days or give Arsenii Sergeev his second career game in one of the toughest matchups in the league.

Bauer logged five PIM and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Bauer technically spent more time in the penalty box than on the ice -- he had just 2:59 of ice time. He dressed as a seventh defenseman but took a couple of shifts as a forward, and he also got into a fight with Bokondji Imama. Bauer has made eight appearances this season, racking up 17 hits, four blocked shots and 23 PIM. Either as a blueliner or a forward, Bauer doesn't look to have enough scoring potential to draw attention in fantasy.

Barron scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

The tally was Barron's first of the season, and it snapped a six-game point drought for the 27-year-old. He's primarily played in a bottom-six role this season, though the Jets continue to shuffle line combinations amid an eight-game losing streak. Barron is at three points, 14 shots on net, 41 hits, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 14 outings on the year.

Connor scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Connor has three points over the last two games despite getting separated from Mark Scheifele at even strength. The tally was Connor's 11th of the season, including five on the power play, though he's scored only three times over his last seven outings. The winger has a total of 15 points, 57 shots and a minus-3 rating across 14 appearances.

Daws stopped 33 of 37 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Daws did alright, but the Jets didn't have much to give in the second half of a back-to-back. This was the team's eighth straight loss, though it's the first one on Daws' ledger since he was flipped to Winnipeg in the Connor Hellebuyck trade. Daws has a 2-3-0 record with a 2.86 GAA and an .886 save percentage across six outings between the Jets and the Devils this year. With the Jets skidding, this could turn into an open competition between the three goalies on the roster to determine who gets control of the crease, though Stuart Skinner remains the favorite for now. The Jets' tough road trip continues against the Hurricanes on Sunday.

Imama logged five PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

Imama got into a fight with Tyrel Bauer in this contest. The 30-year-old Imama has brought the expected toughness in a bottom-six role, but he hasn't surprised anyone by chipping in more offense. He's yet to record a point while racking up 39 hits, 36 PIM, eight shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances. He could lose his place in the lineup once the Panthers get some injured forwards back.

Luostarinen logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

Luostarinen had gone 11 games without a point prior to Friday. The 28-year-old has a pair of multi-point efforts to his name this season, but he hasn't been a major factor on offense from the Panthers' third line. He's at two goals, two assists, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 11 blocked shots, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 14 appearances.

Reinhart scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

Both of Reinhart's points came on the power play. The 30-year-old has four points over his last three games. He's been running streaky, but a move to center recently appears to have helped get him on track again. Reinhart has a total of seven goals, five assists, 43 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances, with eight of his 12 points coming on the power play.

Jones scored a goal, added two assists, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

This was Jones' second three-point effort in a row, and he's also logged multiple power-play points in consecutive contests. The defenseman hasn't filled the net a ton, but he's had no trouble setting up his teammates. Jones is up to two goals, 16 assists, 37 shots on net, 15 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 appearances. Injuries have been a narrative for a few years with Jones, but he's showing what he can do when fully healthy, and the results are good.

Lundell scored three goals on eight shots, doled out two hits, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

Lundell had gone six games without a point prior to Friday's contest. He emphatically ended the slump with his first career hat trick while also setting a season high for shots in a game. The 25-year-old center is up to four goals, two assists, 42 shots, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 14 appearances. While the Panthers have dealt with a few injuries this season, Lundell remains on the third line while seeing primarily defensive assignments.
