Kapanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Kapanen ended a three-game skid with his tally. The 29-year-old has played well in a middle-six role when healthy this season, earning 13 points over 23 appearances. He's added 45 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-8 rating. Kapanen has some value in deeper fantasy formats, but his potential will be limited as long as he's on the third line.

Podkolzin scored a goal, added four hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Podkolzin has scored in consecutive contests for the second time this season. The 24-year-old winger is up to a career-high 15 goals on the year, as well as 29 points, 101 shots on net, 190 hits, 34 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 64 appearances. He was bumped up to the second line for this contest, though Matt Savoie, who moved down to the third line, is likely the better long-term fit in that spot.

Draisaitl scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Draisaitl's goal was the game-winner, and it extended his point streak to five contests. He has five goals and seven helpers in that span. The 30-year-old superstar is up to 34 tallies, 92 points, 176 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-12 rating through 61 appearances this season. Just three of his goals have been game-winners this year -- he hasn't had fewer than seven GWG in any of the last six campaigns.

Ingram stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Ingram did his part in this contest, and the Oilers were able to pull away with three goals in the third period. This was the first time he's logged consecutive wins since his first two outings of the campaign back in December. Ingram is up to 9-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 18 appearances. He still hasn't displayed a lot of game-to-game consistency, but he's getting better results than Tristan Jarry, so the Oilers' crease could remain a timeshare for a while. The Oilers have another tough matchup Tuesday when they visit the Avalanche.

Walker was scratched for the third time in four games for Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Walker looks set to slip into a part-time role as the Blues look to find ice time for Jack Finley moving forward. The 32-year-old Walker has gone without a point in his last 13 games, so he hasn't helped his own cause for staying in the lineup. Overall, he has 11 points, 35 shots on net, 24 PIM, 31 blocked shots and 157 hits over 40 appearances.

Holl had an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Holl was acquired from the Red Wings in the Justin Faulk trade Friday. The 34-year-old Holl was with AHL Grand Rapids prior to the trade, but the Blues need him in the NHL currently while Colton Parayko (back) is out of the lineup. Holl hadn't seen NHL ice since 2024-25, when he posted just eight points in 73 contests for the Red Wings. He has minimal offensive upside, and his physical play took a severe downturn last year, so the blueliner is unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Suter scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Suter has two goals and three assists over six games since the Olympics. The 29-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 20 points, 71 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating over 46 outings. There's an opening in the top six following the Blues' trade of Brayden Schenn, and Suter got to fill it with a spin on the second line Sunday, though Dalibor Dvorsky could also get a look in that spot later in the campaign.

Drouin scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Drouin was flipped to the Blues in the Brayden Schenn deal. The 30-year-old Drouin is getting a look on the second line, which should put him in a position to find some offense if he can mesh with his new teammates. He had gone 38 games without a goal to end his Islanders tenure, so he's already off to a better start with the Blues. Drouin has 22 points (six on the power play), 75 shots on net, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 56 appearances this season.

Kyrou scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Kyrou ended a four-game point drought with the opening, and ultimately game-winning, tally at 4:22 of the second period. The winger, who was the subject of trade rumors but ended up staying put with the Blues, is filling a middle-six role currently. He's up to 15 goals, 34 points, 137 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 53 appearances. Kyrou had posted at least 67 points in each of the last four seasons, but he'll come up well short of that number in 2025-26.

Snuggerud scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

This was Snuggerud's second multi-point effort in a row. The 21-year-old winger is thriving in a top-line role currently, making him a player to consider in most fantasy formats. For the season, he is up to 12 goals, 29 points, 108 shots on net, 57 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 51 appearances. Snuggerud has earned 14 of his points over his last 12 outings.
