Josi scored two goals, including the overtime winner, placed three shots on net and recorded two blocks in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton.

Josi willed the Predators back into Tuesday's contest with the game-tying goal in the second period. When the extra period rolled around, he stole the puck from Edmonton goalie Tristan Jarry, who left the crease to knock away a pass. Josi received a feed from Brady Skjei seconds later that he buried for the OT winner. Tuesday's pair of twine finders brings Josi up to eight goals, 23 points, 88 shots on net and 51 blocks through 34 games this season. While his season totals don't jump off the page as much as they have in seasons past, the Swiss blueliner has five points in his last two games and six goals in his past 11 outings. His scoring potential is undeniable, as he's well on the pace to reach double-digit goals for the 11th time in his career. Look for Nashville's captain to push for another 50-point campaign.

Saros turned aside 28 of 31 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Saros posted a solid performance Tuesday that only improved down the stretch, as he allowed no goals following the 13:12 mark in the second period. Tuesday's win came just seven days after he gave up six goals to the Oilers, giving him the motivation to rewrite the script in a 28-save victory. With the OT win, the 30-year-old netminder now has an 18-15-3 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 36 appearances this season. Despite co-leading the league in games played with Calgary's Dustin Wolf, Saros continues to find the win column frequently. While Saros has alternated wins and losses over his last 12 games, he has a 12-6-0 record with a .905 save percentage across his past 18 outings and hasn't lost two consecutive games since late November. He is on the rise in fantasy and provides solid value in standard formats.

Jarry stopped 23 of 27 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.

In his return from a lower-body injury, Jarry helped force overtime but made a crucial mistake that led to the OT winner. He left the crease to bat the puck away from Nashville captain Roman Josi, but had his attempt blocked by the opposing defenseman, who one-timed a pass into the net for the win. With the loss, Jarry now has a 12-3-2 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 18 games this season. While the game didn't end on a high note for the 30-year-old netminder, he showed flashes of steady play in his 23-save effort that could lead to success moving forward. With a high potential for wins playing behind a red-hot Oilers' offense, Jarry holds decent value if he sees the bulk of the starts, but Calvin Pickard and Connor Ingram are both still on the roster.

Amadio notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

Amadio is still stuck in a 15-game goal drought, and he's picked up just three assists in that span. The 29-year-old is still seeing third-line minutes, but the lack of offense has taken him out of the mix for consideration in most fantasy formats. For the season, he's up to 17 points, 57 shots on net, 67 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 45 contests.

Hintz scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.

Hintz broke up Karel Vejmelka's shutout bid at 17:48 of the third period, but the Stars couldn't tie the game. The 29-year-old Hintz has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The Finnish center is up to 14 goals, 35 points, 103 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-16 rating over 42 appearances.

DeSmith stopped 22 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

DeSmith did his part to keep the game close, but the Stars' offense didn't have much to give in the second half of a back-to-back. The 34-year-old has functioned well in the backup role this season, earning a 10-3-5 record with a 2.46 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 19 appearances. Expect Jake Oettinger to get the nod for Thursday's game in Utah.

Gudas posted an assist, four hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Stars.

Gudas helped out on Chris Kreider's opening goal in the second period. The 35-year-old Gudas had gone seven games without a point and missed two contests in that span due to an illness. The defenseman is at nine points, 41 shots on net, 116 hits, 58 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 33 appearances. He's on pace to finish in the 16-18 point range that he's landed in for each of the last four years.

Jenner had a goal and an assist Tuesday in a 5-3 win over Calgary.

His goal stood as the winner. Jenner has eight goals and 15 assists in 32 games this season, and eight of those (three goals, five assists) in his last nine contests. Jenner is hurt far too often, but when healthy, he brings a real edge to the ice, and he can obviously score. He put up two hits Tuesday and has 73 hits in 32 games this season.

Trouba scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Stars.

Trouba missed Saturday's game against the Sabres to be with his growing family as he welcomed a newborn. He returned to action Tuesday in a top-pairing role and provided an insurance tally late in the third period. Trouba is up to eight goals, 19 points, 87 shots on net, 86 hits, 81 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 45 appearances this season.

Kreider scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Stars.

Kreider stepped up with the Ducks missing three of their top forwards in this contest. He opened the scoring at 3:36 of the second period, earning his third point over the last five games in that span. The 34-year-old winger is up to 15 goals, 25 points, 80 shots on net, 42 hits, 20 PIM, 16 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 42 appearances this season. Kreider has mainly played in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit.
