  • Maple Leafs' Dennis Hildeby: Turning season around

    HIldeby made 27 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Saturday.

    Hildeby has won three of his last four outings while allowing only 11 goals on 117 shots. It's been a solid improvement from his previous five appearances, which saw him go 0-3-2 with 130 saves on 150 shots. He has a 2.96 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 18 games this season.

  • Predators' Luke Evangelista: Tips in goal

    Evangelista scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Evangelista got a piece of a Roman Josi shot, scoring the opening goal at 14:10 of the first period. The Golden Knights proceeded to dominate the rest of the contest. Evangelista ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally. He's now at seven goals, 34 points, 105 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 47 appearances this season. The playmaking winger has plenty of potential in a top-line role alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg.

    Predators' Filip Forsberg: Adds garbage-time tally

    Forsberg scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Forsberg scored at 19:38 of the third period, far too late to make a difference. That's goals in consecutive games for the winger, who had gone 11 contests without scoring prior to this two-game road trip. The 31-year-old is up to 18 goals, 36 points (11 on the power play), 139 shots on net, 91 hits and a minus-4 rating through 48 appearances this season.

  • Predators' Justus Annunen: No match for Golden Knights

    Annunen stopped 29 of 36 shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Nashville had the first and last goals in the contest, but the Golden Knights had no trouble besting Annunen in between those tallies. He was in it for the long haul after Juuse Saros guided the Predators to a win in Colorado on Friday. Annunen dropped to 4-6-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 14 appearances. It's unclear when Annunen will get his next chance to play, but the Predators don't have another back-to-back on the schedule until just before February's Olympic break.

    Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Clicking with Matthews on top line

    Domi scored the game winner on five shots and added an assist to secure a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Saturday.

    Domi has been successful in spurts while riding shotgun with Auston Matthews on the top line. The 30-year-old Domi has three points, including two goals, in his last five contests and 10 points (three goals, seven assists) across his past 13 outings. He has six goals, 22 points and 74 shots on net through 46 appearances this season.

  • Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Secures 20-goal campaign

    Dorofeyev scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

    Dorofeyev's 20th goal of the season came at 5:52 of the third period. It was also the game-winner, his second such goal in the campaign. He's up to 36 points (21 on the power play), 125 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 47 appearances. Dorofeyev remains a fixture on the second line and first power-play unit thanks to an ultra-effective shot that makes him a quality player in most fantasy formats.

  • Mark Stone RW | LV

    Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Extends streak with goal

    Stone scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

    Stone stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 4-1 at 8:52 of the third period. This gave him an 11-game point streak, consisting of 10 goals and eight assists. The winger is up to a total of 18 goals, 47 points, 76 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 31 appearances. Even with a large chunk of time lost to a wrist issue, Stone is tied for 30th in the league in points, and he ranks fifth in points per game (1.52) through Saturday's action.

  • Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Pots goal, adds assist

    Holtz scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

    Holtz tied the game at 1-1 in the second period and set up a Cole Reinhardt tally in the third. This was Holtz's second multi-point effort in his last eight games, but he's also been scratched four times in that span. The 23-year-old has mostly seen bottom-six minutes when in the lineup, which has limited his production. He's up to two goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 17 appearances. Until Holtz can secure more playing time, he's a poor option for most fantasy formats.

  • Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Collects trio of points

    Ekman-Larsson had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Saturday.

    Ekman-Larsson has six points, including five helpers, in his last four games. Before that, he had three points (one goal, two assists) in a 12-game span. Ekman-Larsson's offensive surge has given him a two-point advantage over Morgan Rielly for Toronto's scoring lead among blueliners. Ekman-Larsson has eight goals, 31 points, 69 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 62 hits through 48 outings this season.

  • Cole Reinhardt LW | FLA

    Golden Knights' Cole Reinhardt: Rare multi-point effort

    Reinhardt scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

    This was Reinhardt's first appearance on the scoresheet since the end of November. He was scratched for seven of eight games between Dec. 23 and Jan. 8, but he's played in five straight contests while the Golden Knights battle a handful of injuries to depth forwards. Reinhardt has two goals, six points, 21 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-1 rating over 32 appearances.
