Marchenko scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Marchenko ended his five-game goal drought with an unassisted goal in the first period. He also sent the game to overtime with a third-period marker. The 24-year-old winger has been consistent and occasionally explosive on offense -- this was his seventh multi-point effort in 20 contests. Marchenko has eight goals, 12 assists, 51 shots on net and a plus-9 rating while filling a top-line role.

Sherwood had a goal, an assist and 10 hits Saturday in a 4-3 win over Ottawa.

His goal stood as the winner. Sherwood pounced on a loose puck in the crease at 8:41 of the third period and drove it past Linus Ullmark to push the score to 4-1. He's on a four-game, five-point scoring streak that includes three goals, 11 shots and a whopping 30 hits. Sherwood has been a great fantasy surprise this season -- he has six goals, five assists and a league-leading 125 hits in just 19 games. That's gold in leagues where muscle still counts.

Kolesar scored a goal on three shots and had two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

Kolesar was in the right position to take advantage of a rebound after Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault was unable to close his glove around the puck. It was the sixth goal through 21 appearances for Kolesar, who is scoring at a 23-percent clip and is poised establish a new career high (eight goals). The second-line winger has nine points, 26 shots, 70 hits and 14 PIM.

DeBrusk had two goals and an assist in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

His first was a tip on the power play late in the first period to put the Orcas up 1-0. DeBrusk then put his team up 3-1 in the second with a sweet deke on the backhand around Linus Ullmark's outstretched left pad on a rush. Vancouver has been a great fit for DeBrusk, who has 13 points (five goals, eight assists), 35 hits and 36 shots in 19 games. That's a 56-point pace, which would be a career mark if he can continue at this rate.

Merzlikins stopped 32 of 36 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Merzlikins let three separate one-goal leads slip away, and Jackson Blake put the Hurricanes ahead 4-3 at 13:23 of the second period. That lead nearly lasted to the finish, but Kirill Marchenko saved the day by tying the game with 1:06 left in regulation. Merzlikins handled the rest, getting through overtime and stopping all three shootout attempts to earn his fourth straight win. In that span, he's been a little shaky with 13 goals allowed. The 30-year-old netminder improved to 6-5-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 12 starts. He's the no-doubt starter for the Blue Jackets right now, and he'll likely get the nod for Wednesday's home game versus the Canadiens.

Pearson scored a goal on one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 6-2 win over Montreal.

Pearson scored the Golden Knights' third goal in a stretch of 2:17 minutes midway through the second period to blow open the game against his former team. The goal was the fourth (20 shots) for the fourth-liner, who snapped a nine-game drought without a tally.

Orlov notched an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Orlov's assist streak is up to four games, matching his longest point streak of the campaign. The 33-year-old defenseman set up a Jalen Chatfield tally in the second period. Orlov is enjoying a bit of a bounce-back season with 12 points, a plus-19 rating, 33 shots on net, 23 hits and 16 blocked shots through 20 appearances. That's nearly halfway to the 26-point effort he put forth over all 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Kotkaniemi provided an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kotkaniemi set up a Jackson Blake goal in the second period, which came after the former was moved to the fourth line. Kotkaniemi saw a season-low 9:36 of ice time, and it's unclear if his demotion was a one-game thing or something to be watched moving forward. Jack Drury moved up to the second line in the swap. Kotkaniemi has been inconsistent in November with a goal and four assists over 11 appearances, and he's at 12 points, 41 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 20 outings overall.

Hintz scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

It was a beauty goal. Hintz skated through the neutral zone with speed, blew past Erik Cernak, and wired the puck blocker side past Andrei Vasilevskiy on a breakaway. Hintz has three points, including two goals, in his last two games. He may have only 13 points in 19 games this season, but his eight goals put him on pace for his fourth consecutive 30-goal campaign.

Necas recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Necas has been held without a goal for three straight games, but he has three helpers in that span. That's his longest goal drought of the campaign, which illustrates just how excellent he's been so far in 2024-25. The 25-year-old is up to 33 points (11 goals, 22 helpers), with 14 of them coming on the power play through 20 appearances. Necas has added 48 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-8 rating while seeing time on the second line and first power-play unit.
