Hagel had two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win over San Jose on Tuesday. He fired five shots.

Hagel has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in his past 10 games, and he's on a modest three-game, five-point streak (three goals, two assists). Hagel sits third on the Bolts' scoring list this season with 46 points (25 goals, 21 assists). He leads the Bolts in goals and game-winning goals (six).

Dobes made 16 saves in a 4-3 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

It's Dobes' third straight win, although that's the extent of games he's played in January. Such was the peril of a three-headed goalie monster, but Jacob Fowler was returned to the AHL a few days ago. Dobes now has sole possession of the second seat, and he could be a solid daily play depending on the matchup. Overall, he's 15-5-3 with a 3.01 GAA and an .887 save percentage.

Caufield scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Wild.

His one-timer with 15 seconds remaining in regulation sealed the win. Caufield is clutch -- he has 21 game-winning goals in the third period or overtime since he entered the league in 2020-21. Caufield has 25 goals, 24 assists, seven game-winning goals, 17 power-play points and 147 shots in 50 games this season. He sits third in team scoring behind Nick Suzuki (55) and Lane Hutson (52).

Demidov delivered two assists Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Wild.

Demidov is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes three assists, and he has seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last five contests. He has eight shots on his current streak and 12 shots in his last five contests. Demidov's 43 points (50 games) put him on top of the rookie scoring list, five points ahead of the second-place Beckett Sennecke, who has 38 points.

Hutson scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 victory over Minnesota.

Hutson is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak (one goal, six assists), and he sits second overall on the Canadiens with nine goals and 52 points (50 games). Last season, just three defenders finished the season with at least a point-per-game. Cale Makar led that charge, followed by Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes. This season, only four are roaring along at a point-per-game pace: Werenksi, Makar, Hutson and Darren Raddysh.

Kyrou scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

This was Kyrou's first goal since Dec. 1 versus the Ducks. He picked up five assists over 13 appearances in that span, though he also missed nine games due to a lower-body injury. Kyrou is supposed to be better than this, but he's arguably worn the Blues' struggles this season more than most of the team's players. He's at nine goals, 21 points, 97 shots on net and a minus-9 rating across 40 appearances. It would take an improbably large surge of scoring for him to earn a fourth straight 30-goal campaign.

Hofer stopped 13 of 15 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Hofer wasn't able to pick up a third straight win, as power-play goals by Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele in the first period ended up deciding the game. The 25-year-old Hofer didn't face much traffic in this one, though he kept it close after the early struggles. He's down to 11-10-2 with a 2.73 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 27 appearances. Hofer is well on his way to a career-high workload as he continues to hold down a slight majority of the starts over the last month. The Blues have a back-to-back up next, with a game in Dallas on Friday followed by a home matchup versus the Kings on Saturday, which should allow Hofer and Jordan Binnington to get a start each.

Connor notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Connor picked up his fourth multi-point effort of the month in this game. He's earned five goals and eight assists over 11 appearances in January, with three of his helpers this month coming on the power play. Overall, the star winger is at 23 goals, 35 assists, 13 power-play points, 160 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 49 contests.

Morrissey scored a power-play goal, added two assists and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The first of Morrissey's two helpers also came on the power play. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to impress with four goals and eight helpers over 11 outings in January. He reached the 10-goal mark Tuesday and is at 42 points (12 on the power play), 87 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-14 rating across 49 appearances this season.

Scheifele scored twice and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Scheifele's first goal came on the power play and stood as the game-winner. He also had an empty-netter, and his assist on Josh Morrissey's opening goal came with the man advantage as well. In January, Scheifele has stayed hot with seven goals and nine helpers through 11 contests. He's up to 25 goals, 61 points (14 on the power play), 103 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 49 appearances.
