  • Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Fills empty net

    Stankoven scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

    Stankoven has two goals and an assist over his last five games. While his offense hasn't been explosive, he's been good enough to maintain a second-line role for much of the campaign. Stankoven is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 126 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-10 rating over 66 appearances.

  • Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Limited production in part-time gig

    Jarnkrok was in the lineup for the fifth time in six games in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

    Jarnkrok has been in a part-time role this season, and he's done little with it. This was his 12th straight game without a point, and he's added just nine shots on net, five hits and a minus-3 rating in that span. The 34-year-old has been limited to bottom-six duties when he plays. Jarnkrok has just seven points with 37 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-10 rating through 43 appearances this season, so fantasy managers can do better for forward depth.

    Golden Knights' Nic Dowd: First point with new team

    Dowd provided an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Dowd picked up his first point in five games with the Golden Knights. The 35-year-old forward is up to 17 points, 52 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 60 appearances between Vegas and Washington. Dowd has filled a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, and the team's stronger forward depth has had a limiting factor on his ice time compared to his usage with the Capitals.

    Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Helps out twice on power play

    Stone notched two power-play assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Stone has been back for two games after missing five due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old winger had a hand on both of Pavel Dorofeyev's tallies in this contest. Stone has had a couple of injury absences this season, but he's more than made up for it with 21 goals, 41 assists, 24 power-play points, 97 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 45 appearances. His 1.38 points-per-game mark ranks sixth in the league, and he's one of 38 players in the league to be at or above a point-per-game pace with at least 10 games played through Saturday's action.

  • Golden Knights' Mitch Marner: Manages two assists in win

    Marner notched two power-play assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Marner has three goals and seven helpers over his last six games, with four multi-point efforts to his name in that span. The 28-year-old has been back on the wing over the last couple of games, and his line with Pavel Dorofeyev and Tomas Hertl is looking good. Marner is up to 69 points (21 on the power play), 125 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating across 66 outings.

  • Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar: Adds goal Saturday

    Kolesar scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Kolesar's goal capped a stretch of three tallies in 3:27 for the Golden Knights during the first period. The 28-year-old forward hasn't been a big scorer from a fourth-line role this season -- this tally snapped a 10-game slump. He's now at six goals, 16 points, 59 shots on net, 236 hits, 32 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 67 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Rasmus Andersson: Nets goal in win

    Andersson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Andersson snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. He had been limited to two assists over his previous 10 outings. The 29-year-old hasn't had as much room for his offense to shine in Vegas, but he's playing a key top-four role for a contender. He's at a career-high 12 goals this season, and he's added 25 assists, 145 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 contests between Vegas and Calgary.

  • Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Another big game in win

    Dorofeyev scored two power-play goals on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Dorofeyev opened and closed the scoring, and he also had a helper on a Rasmus Andersson tally. With back-to-back three-point efforts, Dorofeyev is thriving, especially on the power play, where he ranks second in the league with 18 goals, four back of Dallas' Wyatt Johnston. Overall, Dorofeyev has 34 goals, 23 assists, 27 power-play points, 189 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 67 appearances. He's been worth the price of admission for fantasy managers who bought into his 35-goal, 52-point regular season a year ago.

    Golden Knights' Adin Hill: Logs 21-save shutout

    Hill recorded a 21-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Hill got a little help from a video review that wiped out a Chicago goal for a hand pass. This was his first shutout of the campaign, and it continues a run of improved play -- he's allowed just 10 goals over his last five appearances. Hill is up to 8-6-3 with a 3.05 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 19 starts. He's started four straight contests, so the heavier workload may be helping him to get into a rhythm. The Golden Knights have a tough task ahead when they host the Sabres on Tuesday.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: On wrong side of shutout

    Knight stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Vegas.

    Three of the goals against came in a span of 3:27 in the middle of the first period. Knight has lost five of his last six outings, but this was the first time he allowed four goals since Jan. 25 versus the Panthers. Knight is now at a 17-19-8 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 44 starts in his first year as a full-time starter. The Blackhawks' schedule doesn't get easier next week, as they have a home-and-home with the Wild before facing the Avalanche on the second half of a back-to-back, which makes Knight a risky fantasy option in the short term.
