Iafallo scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Iafallo has two goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. The 32-year-old's bump in production corresponds with a move onto the top line alongside Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, though Iafallo's goal Saturday came just after a power play expired. Iafallo is now at nine goals, 19 points, 66 shots on net, 62 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 47 contests. He's worth a look in deeper formats as long as he's getting premium minutes.

Jokiharju (personal) was designated as a non-roster player Sunday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

The Bruins recalled Billy Sweezey from AHL Providence on an emergency basis in a corresponding move. It's unclear when Jokiharju will be available to return from a family matter, which could lead to Vladislav Kolyachonok or Sweezey playing against Dallas on Tuesday.

Connor scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Connor has five goals and six assists over nine outings in January. The Jets' improved play as a team has helped lately, but Connor has been consistent throughout the season. The 29-year-old winger is up to 23 goals, 56 points, 155 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 47 appearances in a top-line role.

Myers' point drought reached eight games in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Myers has been scratched four times during the slump. He remains in a part-time role this season, competing for minutes on the third pairing, though the absences of Chris Tanev (groin) and Simon Benoit (upper body) have opened a door to more consistent usage for Myers lately. For the season, Myers has just two helpers, 30 shots on net, 39 hits, 30 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 25 appearances.

Robertson logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Robertson missed Tuesday's game in Utah due a lower-body injury, but that was the extent of his absence. The 24-year-old has resumed a third-line role with time on the second power-play unit. He's up to 23 points, 75 shots on net, 49 hits, 23 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 45 appearances. Robertson is just four points shy of matching his career high from 56 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Rielly notched two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Rielly is warming up with three points over his last two contests, which follows a six-game drought. The 31-year-old defenseman hasn't been immune from some of the Maple Leafs' struggles, but he remains effective on offense. For the season, he's at six goals, 23 assists, 90 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 47 appearances.

McMann scored a goal on two shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

McMann continues to bounce around the lineup, but it's working for him. He has scored four goals and added three assists over his last 10 outings despite the frequent changes in linemates. McMann is up to 15 goals, 25 points, 95 shots on net, 104 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 47 appearances.

Perron tallied a goal, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Montreal.

Perron's tally put the Senators up 4-3 late in the second period. He is up to 10 goals, 24 points, 68 shots on net and 61 hits through 47 outings this season. Following Saturday's goal, the 37-year-old winger reached the double-digit goal mark for the 17th time across his 19-year NHL career. He has goals in back-to-back games and is heating up from his role on Ottawa's fourth line. While the veteran winger has capped value in fantasy in limited minutes, he could provide streaming value in the interim during his hot stretch of scoring.

Desharnais (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Florida on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

The Sharks opened a roster spot for Desharnais' return from a 23-game absence by placing Nick Leddy on waivers Sunday. The 29-year-old Desharnais has contributed two assists, 12 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 28 hits across 20 appearances this season.

Cozens scored a power-play goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Cozens found the back of the net on a second-period power play to level Saturday's game at three goals apiece. Overall, the 24-year-old center has 14 goals, 35 points, 110 shots on net and 126 hits through 47 games this season. After missing out on the scoresheet in four consecutive games, he now has a goal in back-to-back games. His first full season with the Senators has been off to a solid start, setting him up to reach the 60-point mark for the first time since the 2022-23 season with the Sabres. His contributions on offense and steady stream of hits give him good all-around fantasy value moving forward.
