McQueen scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

McQueen has scored in each of the last two contests. The 20-year-old will need to stay sharp on offense to avoid slipping out of the lineup. Those two goals are his only points this season, to go with 14 shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating over nine appearances.

Caulfield scored twice on three shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Caulfield was back in a top-line role, playing alongside Leo Carlsson and Alex Killorn at even strength. The Ducks' line combinations are far from settled, often changing every game or two. Caulfield has done his part to stay in the mix with four goals, four assists, 14 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances. He's earned three of his points on the power play as well, which is moderately surprising usage for a 25-year-old rookie.

Gauthier scored three goals on five shots, with two tallies on the power play, in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Gauthier has a trio of multi-goal games games this season. Sunday's hat trick also saw him collect his first even-strength tally of the campaign. He's up to seven goals, 12 points, 53 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-6 rating through 13 appearances.

Brossoit stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Brossoit didn't look very good in the first period, when he gave up three goals on seven shots. He was able to lock in after that, and the Ducks' offense rewarded him with a big burst of scoring to get the comeback win. This was Brossoit's first NHL win since the 2023-24 campaign with the Jets. Anaheim is now carrying three goalies on the roster with Brossoit joining Lukas Dostal and Ville Husso. It's possible all three netminders will get some work during the Ducks' three-game road trip, which begins with a soft matchup Tuesday in Vancouver.

Morrow notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

This was Morrow's season debut. The 24-year-old defenseman would require waivers to go to AHL Hartford, and the Rangers are clearly reluctant to risk losing him for nothing. Prior to this season, he earned 12 points across 45 career regular-season outings. Morrow may have a clear path to playing time if Sean Durzi (undisclosed) misses time beyond Sunday.

Dorofeyev scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

Dorofeyev tallied in the second period to spoil Matt Tomkins' shutout bid. The goal extended Dorofeyev's point streak to five games (two goals, three assists), though the Rangers have lost the last four of those contests. The 26-year-old winger is up to four goals, five helpers, 43 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 15 appearances. Dorofeyev looks to be settling in with his new team, though he can still improve on offense even with the hot streak rolling.

Garand stopped 21 of 24 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Garand wasn't able to stand up against the Oilers' top players. This was a fourth straight loss for Garand, who has allowed 15 goals on 98 shots in that span. He's now 4-6-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 11 appearances this season. Garand and James Reimer look likely to settle into a timeshare in the crease unless one of them can string some positive results together. The Rangers are set to host the Blues on Tuesday.

Draisaitl logged two assists, including one on the power play, and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Draisaitl has four helpers over the first two games of the Oilers' trip through the Tri-State area. The 31-year-old forward is up to 12 goals, 16 helpers, 53 shots on net and a plus-15 rating across 15 appearances to begin the season. Draisaitl's performance is undeniably excellent, but even he's been overshadowed by the historic pace Connor McDavid has set over the first month-plus of the campaign.

McDavid scored a goal on six shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

McDavid's season-opening point streak is up to 15 games, stretching it into November. Of those performances, he's earned multiple points 11 times, though that's happened in just twice of the last four contests. The 29-year-old superstar has nine goals, 30 helpers, 42 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-20 rating to begin 2026-27. At this pace, he's threatening to surpass the career-high 153 points he had in 2022-23 by a massive margin.

Bouchard scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Bouchard had been held to two assists over his previous three games, a rare relatively quiet stretch for the defenseman. He was back to getting significantly involved in this contest. Bouchard is up to eight goals, 18 helpers, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating through 15 appearances. It's fair to question if he can keep this up all year, but Bouchard is setting a pace that would put him over 120 points if he can avoid missing time. No blueliner has earned more than 110 points since Paul Coffey's 113-point campaign for the Penguins in 1988-89.
