Lafreniere notched two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Lafreniere had a hand in both of Artemi Panarin's goals in the contest. The 24-year-old Lafreniere is up to two goals and six helpers over seven outings in January. For the season, he's contributed 28 points (five on the power play), 93 shots on net, 65 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while mainly playing in a top-six role through 49 games.

Miller notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

This was Miller's second two-assist effort in a row. He has a goal and five helpers over five games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old forward is now at 28 points (11 goals, 17 helpers), 88 shots on net, 84 hits and a minus-16 rating over 40 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Trocheck registered two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

Trocheck hasn't scored in four games, picking up three assists with a minus-8 rating in that span. The 32-year-old is still firmly in a top-six role, where he's been plenty productive when healthy this season. He's up to 29 points (eight on the power play) with 61 shots on net, 115 hits, 29 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 35 appearances.

Zucker notched a pair of assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.

Zucker set up Ryan McLeod and Jack Quinn, as all three members of the Sabres' second line recorded multi-point efforts. Over seven games since he returned from a lower-body injury, Zucker has a goal and four assists. He's up to 10 goals, 13 helpers, 59 shots on net, 29 hits and a minus-8 rating through 28 appearances. The 34-year-old will continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time.

Slafkovsky scored two goals, placed two shots on net, recorded two blocks and dished out four hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

Slafkovsky scored on a power play less than three minutes into regulation before he later cut Montreal's deficit in half with his second goal of the night. He is up to 19 goals, 40 points, 95 shots on net, 75 hits and 49 blocks across 49 games this season. Not only has the 21-year-old winger made a strong impact offensively with 20 points over his last 15 games, but he has excelled without the puck as well. His 49 blocks are tied for ninth among NHL forwards with his linemate Oliver Kapanen. Slafkovsky is on pace to easily surpass last season's career high of 51 points over 79 regular-season games. His all-around play warrants him strong fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Leddy will be placed on waivers Sunday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Leddy has accounted for four assists, six shots on net, 26 blocked shots and four hits in 19 appearances this season. If he clears waivers, he will probably report to AHL San Jose.

Krebs scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.

Krebs has been back in the bottom six for the last three games. He ended an eight-game goal drought Saturday, but the reduced ice time will make it tough for him to continue producing on offense. He's at four goals, 17 points, 53 shots on net, 110 hits, 29 blocked shots and 46 PIM across 47 appearances.

Tuch scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Wild.

Tuch has five goals and three helpers during his seven-game point streak. His strong January has him up to a total of 40 points (four on the power play, three shorthanded) with 112 shots on net, 52 blocks, 50 hits, 43 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 46 appearances. Tuch continues to provide all-around production in fantasy while seeing top-six minutes for the Sabres.

Foligno scored a goal on two shots, added seven PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sabres.

The Buffalo native scored the opening goal in his hometown. Foligno has scored twice over the last three games while adding 11 PIM and eight hits in that span. Overall, he has seven points, 41 shots on net, 45 PIM, 124 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating while regularly filling a bottom-six role.

Hartman scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sabres.

Hartman is in a good stretch with four goals and an assist over his last six games. He continues to see a boost in ice time in the absence of Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). For the season, Hartman has racked up 13 goals, 21 points, 89 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 39 hits and 21 PIM through 45 appearances. He'll likely top 30 points while providing decent all-around numbers.
