  • Zach Hyman C | EDM

    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Finds twine on power play

    Hyman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

    Hyman has four goals and an assist over the last four contests. The winger remains a consistent source of goals and shots while playing on the Oilers' top line. He's up to 17 tallies, 28 points (11 on the power play), 90 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-7 rating across 30 appearances this season.

  • Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Buries two goals in win

    Kapanen scored twice on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

    Kapanen remained on the second line, working with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins instead of Leon Draisaitl (personal) in this contest. It worked out, as Kapanen earned his second multi-point effort of the season. Growing chemistry with another player could help Kapanen stay productive later in the campaign. He's at three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances.

  • Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka: Sixth straight win

    Vejmelka made 18 saves in a 6-3 win over Seattle on Saturday.

    Vejmelka has registered six straight wins for himself, and he's allowed just 10 goals in that span. He's 23-11-2 with one shutout, a 2.55 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 37 starts this season. In 2024-25, Vejmelka delivered a 26-22-8 record, 2.58 GAA and .904 save percentage in 58 appearances. The big 29-year-old has taken a step forward this campaign.

  • Oilers' Jack Roslovic: Nets two goals in blowout win

    Roslovic scored twice on four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

    Roslovic ignited a six-goal second period at 3:11 of the frame, then added another goal at 14:31. Prior to Saturday, he was in a seven-game point drought. Roslovic has mostly played on the third line recently, though he should pick up a little more power-play time while Leon Draisaitl (personal) is away from the team. Roslovic is at 14 goals, 22 points, 80 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. He has some upside on a strong team, but if he's not playing with a superstar, the 28-year-old's offense could run streaky.

  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Shuts out Canucks

    Jarry posted a 31-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

    It was a close game in the first period, but the Oilers netted all six of their goals in the second. Jarry cruised from there, claiming his first shutout as an Oiler in the process. He's stopped 54 of 58 shots over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury, going 1-0-1 in those contests. He's now at a 13-3-2 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 19 appearances this season. Jarry is the head of a three-goalie committee right now, so he'll likely get Sunday's game versus the Blues off before presumably getting the nod Tuesday at home against the Devils.

  • Lawson Crouse LW | UTA

    Mammoth's Lawson Crouse: Returns to scoresheet in win

    Crouse had a goal, two assists and eight hits in a 6-3 win over Seattle on Saturday.

    Crouse has warmed up with three goals on 18 shots, seven assists and 28 hits in 10 games since the holiday break, but he went three straight contests without a point going into Saturday's matchup. Crouse has 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) and a career-high plus-17 rating this season.

  • Canucks' Nikita Tolopilo: Yields six goals in loss

    Tolopilo allowed six goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Oilers.

    Kevin Lankinen was battling an illness, so Tolopilo was likely to see the whole game, for better or worse. It was worse this time, as even sans Leon Draisaitl (personal), the Oilers were able to ring up a huge second period to humiliate the Canucks. During his latest NHL stint, Tolopilo has surrendered 12 goals on 76 shots over two games. He'll likely be with the big club while Thatcher Demko (lower body) works through his latest injury. Tolopilo is 2-3-0 with 21 goals allowed on 177 shots this season and should be avoided in most fantasy formats.

  • Wyatt Kaiser D | CHI

    Blackhawks' Wyatt Kaiser: Puts away goal in loss

    Kaiser scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Kaiser has picked up a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 23-year-old defenseman has five goals this season, all scored since the start of December, as he flexes a little more scoring potential than initially expected. Through 48 contests, he's at 11 points, 49 shots on net, 30 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Kaiser has emerged as a steady top-four blueliner.

  • Ryan Greene C | CHI

    Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Opens scoring in loss

    Greene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Greene has two goals over his last four contests. The 22-year-old opened the scoring Saturday, but the Bruins dominated the last two periods. Greene is up to six goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 48 appearances. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he keeps skating alongside Connor Bedard on the top line.

  • Nate Schmidt D | UTA

    Mammoth's Nate Schmidt: Matches offensive highs Saturday

    Schmidt had two goals, including the game-winner, and two assists in a 6-3 win over Seattle on Saturday.

    Schmidt's four points matched his single-game NHL-career high of four assists against the Flames on Nov. 17, 2019. His first helper in Saturday's win was also the 200th of his career, joining Torey Krug (394) and Neal Pionk (218) as the third active undrafted defenseman to reach the milestone, according to Matt Komma of NHL.com. Schmidt has four goals and 18 points through 49 appearances this season.
