Eller scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Eller had gone 34 games since his last goal, which also came against the Flames on Oct. 30. The 36-year-old center is filling a fourth-line role with limited ice time, averaging 11:43 per game, his lowest mark since his first full campaign. Eller has three goals, 10 points, 44 shots on net, 34 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 47 appearances. Given his lack of offense, he's not an option for most fantasy formats.

Pinto scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Pinto ended a six-game goal drought, during which he had just two assists. The 25-year-old has settled into a third-line role at even strength, though he gets enough ice time in all situations to function as a top-six center. Pinto is up to 17 goals, 30 points, 114 shots on net, 70 hits, 35 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 51 appearances. He's seven points shy of matching his output from 70 regular-season outings a year ago, which was a career-best point total.

Cozens scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Cozens' tally in the third period ended up being the game-winner. He has four goals and an assist over his last three contests as he continues to provide quality offense in a middle-six role. The center is up to 22 goals, 48 points, 144 shots on net, 164 hits and 49 PIM through 61 appearances this season, his highest point total in the last three years.

Stutzle scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

The late tally, his first since the Olympics, extended Stutzle's point streak to 11 games. He has seven goals and eight assists during the streak. The German center is up to 29 goals, 66 points, 153 shots on net, 94 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 61 appearances. He has enough time to take a run at his career-best totals of 39 goals and 90 points from the 2022-23 campaign.

Ullmark stopped 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Martin Pospisil opened the scoring late in the first period, but that was all Ullmark would give up in this game. He has just two wins in four outings since the Olympic break, but Ullmark has given up just 10 goals on 100 shots in that span to keep the Senators competitive in each of those games. The 32-year-old is now 18-8-7 with a 2.81 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 34 appearances this season. The Senators' road trip continues in Seattle on Saturday.

Zacha logged two assists and two hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Zacha has four helpers over his last three games. The 28-year-old has filled a second-line role since returning from a concussion that kept him out of the Olympics. Zacha is up to 41 points, 90 shots on net, 45 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 58 appearances. He's topped the 40-point mark in four straight seasons and could get back over 50 after missing that threshold last year if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Geekie scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Geekie had gone two games without a point before his second-period tally. The 27-year-old continues to fill the cage at a high rate, with this one being his career-best 34th goal in just 60 appearances. He's added 22 assists, 139 shots, 94 hits and a minus-6 rating. Geekie needs two more points to set a career high there, and he's got plenty of time to do that -- he could push for 70-plus points by the end of the campaign.

Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Arvidsson was a bright spot in the loss, contributing both points in the third period, though the Bruins' rally fell short. The 32-year-old winger had gone 13 games without an assist prior to Thursday, though he had seven goals in that span. For the season, he's at 17 goals, 32 points, 133 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 49 appearances in a middle-six role.

McAvoy scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

McAvoy's nine-game point streak was snapped by the Penguins on Tuesday, but he bounced back with a multi-point effort. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 43 points, 73 shots on net, 57 hits, 89 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 49 appearances this season. McAvoy continues to see top-pairing minutes and ice time in all situations, and that's unlikely to change as long as he can stay healthy.

Korpisalo gave up five goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Korpisalo's performance is underscored by the fact the Predators had made four trades to ship out veterans in the lead-up to this contest. The 31-year-old netminder wasn't able to hold back Nashville's offense, taking his first regulation loss since Dec. 27 in Buffalo. Korpisalo is down to an 11-9-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. Look for him and Jeremy Swayman to split the next two games, which are Saturday at home versus the Capitals and Sunday in Pittsburgh.
