MacKinnon posted two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

MacKinnon's first assist was the 700th in his career. The 30-year-old has also crossed the 400-goal and 1,100-point marks this season, though he's likely done with reaching any round numbers for the regular season. He's earned five points over his last five outings, and he's up to 40 goals, 53 assists, 244 shots on net, 45 hits, 29 blocked shots, and a plus-48 rating over 55 appearances.

Nichushkin registered three assists, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Nichushkin helped out on both of Artturi Lehkonen's goals as well as Josh Manson's game-winner. This was Nichushkin's first multi-point effort since his hat trick versus the Blues on Dec. 31. The 30-year-old winger has earned a goal and six helpers over his last six outings. He's at 34 points in 46 contests this season, matching his output from 43 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He's added 107 shots on net, 41 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating in 2025-26.

Manson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Manson went 11 games without a goal after posting two goals and two assists versus the Senators on Jan. 8. He had four assists in that span before snapping the goal drought with the game-winner Wednesday. The veteran defenseman is up to five goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net, 129 hits, 76 blocked shots, 64 PIM and a plus-37 rating over 55 appearances. While he lacks power-play production, Manson has been excellent in every other area this season as he benefits from playing on a high-scoring team.

Nelson scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Nelson produced 15 goals and nine assists over 19 games between the holiday break and the Olympic break. The American center will be heading to Italy for the Olympics, and he goes international with plenty of momentum on his side. For the season, the 34-year-old has 29 goals, 49 points, 125 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-7 rating through 55 appearances. He'll likely be a steady source of two-way play during the Olympics.

Perbix logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

Perbix ended a 16-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old defenseman had 14 shots on net and 15 blocked shots over that span while seeing steady top-four minutes. He's produced just nine points with 54 shots, 55 blocks, 14 PIM, 24 hits and a minus-13 rating over 53 outings this season, which is production too low to help in most fantasy formats.

Marchessault notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.

Marchessault has four assists over his last four games, and his power-play helper Wednesday was his first contribution with the man advantage since Dec. 13 versus the Avalanche. The winger was on the second line after a long stint on the third line following his return from a lower-body injury. He's at 16 points, 85 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-18 rating over 37 appearances this season.

O'Reilly recorded three assists, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

O'Reilly has five points over two games in February. The 34-year-old is up to a total of 20 goals, 36 helpers, 101 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 56 appearances. He's on track to reach the 70-point mark for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign with the Blues, when he had a career-high 77 points in 82 appearances. He may not be able to keep up a point-per-game pace this year, as he's shooting a career-high 19.8 percent.

Evangelista scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

Evangelista snapped a seven-game goal drought with his second-period tally. The winger still had seven assists during that span, and he's played well generally in a top-six role this season. He's up to eight goals, 42 points, 121 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 55 appearances.

Haula scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

Haula has a goal and two assists over his last three games. The 34-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 28 points, 88 shots on net, 70 hits, 34 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 56 outings this season. He's mostly played in a second-line role, and he could take run at the 40-point mark for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign.

Josi scored a goal on eight shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

Josi has seven multi-point efforts over his last 12 games, including in each of his last three outings. That's a lot of momentum for him to take into his time with Switzerland at the Olympics, where he'll likely lead his country's blue line. The 35-year-old has 11 goals and 39 points in 44 outings this season, topping his totals from 53 games last year. He's added 124 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating in 2025-26.
