Bennett scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

Bennett's tally at 13:11 of the third period forced overtime. The center has surged in January with six goals and five assists over 11 contests. For the season, he's up to 19 goals, 40 points, 133 shots on net, 99 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 50 appearances. Bennett has reached the 40-point mark in each of his five full years with the Panthers, and he's got his eyes on his career-best total of 51 points from 76 regular-season outings a year ago.

Reinhart scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

Reinhart had posted just four points over the first 10 games of January. With the Panthers' offense nearly at full strength -- minus Aleksander Barkov (knee) -- Reinhart won't have as much pressure to lead the way. He's up to 25 goals, 49 points (19 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 49 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 50 appearances this season as a lock on the Panthers' top line.

Marchand scored two goals on six shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

Marchand's first two points, a goal and an assist, came on the power play. He then sealed the win with a goal at 3:00 of overtime to put a cap on an impressive return after a seven-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Marchand was back on the third line for this one, though he'll likely function as a top-six winger thanks to his power-play time and productivity. He's at 25 goals, 49 points, 121 shots on net, 33 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 42 appearances.

Bobrovsky stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

Bobrovsky got back in the win column after allowing 12 goals on 63 shots over his previous two losses. The 37-year-old still wasn't all that sharp, but the return of Brad Marchand gave the Panthers a big boost on offense. For the season, Bobrovsky is up to 20-14-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .875 save percentage through 35 starts, his worst numbers in his seven seasons with the Panthers. He'll likely rest for Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks -- look for Daniil Tarasov to make that road start.

Mailloux logged an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Mailloux ended a 16-game point drought with the helper. In that span, he had 10 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-5 rating. The Blues have liked him enough to sign the defenseman to a one-year contract extension Jan. 13. Mailloux has produced a meager three points with 31 shots on net, 33 PIM, 48 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating over 37 outings this season.

Joseph notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Joseph played for the second time since returning to the lineup from an elbow infection. The 28-year-old forward has retaken a spot on the third line for now, though his playing time is far from secure, as he's often been a healthy scratch. He's up to 11 points, 28 shots on net, 78 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 37 appearances this season, offering minimal fantasy upside while on a low-scoring team.

Dvorsky scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Dvorsky sparked a second-period rally with his goal, which was his second in as many games. The 20-year-old prospect has three goals and an assist over his last six outings while mainly working on the third line. He's up to nine goals, 13 points, 54 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-5 rating over 42 contests this season. It's a decent start to his career, though Dvorsky still has plenty of untapped potential that should excite fantasy managers in dynasty formats.

Schenn scored a power-play goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Schenn had gone nine games without a goal, logging just two assists in that span. The 34-year-old has been pressed into a larger role during the absence of Robert Thomas (lower body). Schenn is now at 10 goals, 20 points, 71 shots on net, 109 hits, 23 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-26 rating over 52 contests. He's best utilized as a streaming option in fantasy given his inconsistent offense.

Kyrou scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Kyrou gave the Blues a 3-2 lead in the second period and tied the game at 4-4 late in the third to force overtime. He's finding his scoring touch again -- the winger has three goals over his last three games and seven points across his last seven outings. For the season, Kyrou is at 11 goals, 24 points, 104 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 42 appearances.

Hofer allowed four goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.

Hofer took his third loss in five outings, a span in which he's allowed 12 goals on 135 shots. The 25-year-old netminder has been better than Jordan Binnington this season, but Hofer has struggled to string wins together, leaving this crease in a timeshare. Hofer dropped to 11-10-3 with a 2.78 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Blues' next game is at home versus the Stars on Tuesday.
