Thompson stopped 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Utah.

The Mammoth grabbed a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, and Washington was never able to pull level. It was Thompson's first loss in three starts since the Olympic break. Over 14 outings since the beginning of January, he has a 6-7-1 record despite a solid 2.59 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Keller notched two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Both helpers came in the first period as the Mammoth jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Keller kicked off a heater at the beginning of February, and the Olympic break didn't cool him off -- he has four multi-point performances in Utah's last six games, amassing two goals and 10 points during that stretch.

Guenther produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Washington.

Both points came in the first period to help Utah jump out to a 2-0 lead, with Guenther's tally giving him a career-high 28 goals on the season. The 22-year-old winger has been running hot and cold over the last six weeks. He has five multi-point performances in his last 13 games, dating back to Jan. 13, but also five goose eggs over that span. He has piled up seven goals and 14 points over that stretch.

Vejmelka made 23 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Both Washington goals came on power plays, as Vejmelka had an answer for everything else the Capitals fired his way. The 29-year-old netminder has been a little erratic since the Olympic break, going 2-2-0 in four starts with an .882 save percentage, but he's now one win shy of reaching 30 for the first time in his career.

Johnston recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Johnston didn't crack the scoresheet in the 6-1 win over the Canucks on Monday, but he continued his torrid scoring pace Tuesday with another multi-point effort. He has recorded two or more points in three of his last four games and is up to 65 points (33 goals, 32 assists) across 61 appearances in 2025-26. He's on pace to establish a new career-high mark in points and already tied his previous best in goals with 33, which he established in the 2024-25 regular season.

Benn recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Benn snapped a three-game goalless skid with a first-period tally, finding the back of the net with a snap shot at the 11:54 mark. Benn is far from the first-line talent he once was, but he continues to find ways to be productive. He's up to 10 goals on the season. While he has only 25 points in 39 contests, he has notched 11 (three goals, eight assists) during the Stars' 10-game winning streak.

Steel recorded two goals, an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Steel has recorded multi-point performances in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The winger has been outstanding of late and has taken full advantage of the Stars' red-hot play. He has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last nine outings, tallying 10 points (three goals, seven assists). If he remains a productive member in Dallas' top six, he could make for an intriguing pickup option.

DeSmith stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

DeSmith has won his last three starts while allowing two or fewer goals each time. He's one of the best backups in the league, although the fact that the Stars are riding a 10-game winning streak makes his job a bit easier. DeSmith has posted a 1.33 GAA and a .926 save percentage in his three appearances during the Stars' ongoing winning run. That said, he should remain as the Stars' firm No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger, so it's uncertain when he'll make another start.

Frost scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.

Frost has recorded points in back-to-back games following a four-game stretch without finding the scoresheet. However, the 26-year-old hasn't been a consistent scoring threat, and his bottom-six role doesn't boost his chances of garnering much fantasy appeal. He has 13 goals, 29 points and 100 shots on net through 60 appearances this season.

Cooley allowed two goals on 18 shots faced in relief in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.

Cooley entered the game in the second period after Dustin Wolf allowed four goals on 17 shots faced. The Flames have been slumping defensively of late, but Cooley has been decent despite his 1-2-1 record over his last five games. He owns a 2.60 GAA and a .922 save percentage in that span, so he could return to the starting lineup when the Flames take on the Senators on Thursday.
