Binnington allowed two goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Binnington didn't start the last three games, as Joel Hofer has been earning more playing time of late. This was a good performance for Binnington, but he didn't get enough goal support, falling to 1-3-1 over his last five outings. He's at 7-8-6 with a 3.41 GAA and an .873 save percentage through 22 contests overall. Considering Hofer posted a shutout in Wednesday's win over the Jets, it wouldn't be surprising to see Binnington on the bench for Saturday's game against the Panthers.

Forsberg made 31 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

Forsberg is the man in the blue paint this week with Darcy Kuemper sidelined due to an upper-body injury. Forsberg made 26 saves Wednesday night in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers, and he drew the start in the second half of the back-to-back set as well. The Bolts put one power-play goal past him, which came on a rebound on a low-slot scramble. Forsberg is 5-4-3 with one shutout, 2.69 GAA and .901 save percentage in 2025-26. The win snapped the Kings' four-game losing streak (0-2-2).

Swayman stopped 22 of 25 shots on net in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

Swayman allowed a goal in each period Thursday, including one at both a man advantage and disadvantage. After Thursday's loss, the 27-year-old goalie now has a 14-9-0 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. Despite the loss, Swayman's value in fantasy doesn't falter from being one of the best options between the pipes, as he hasn't lost back-to-back games since mid-October. He has a strong chance to post a new career high in wins if he can surpass the 22 he had through 58 appearances a year ago. Swayman's next chance to bounce back is Saturday against the new-look Canucks.

Perreault scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

Perreault's skate deflected a Will Cuylle pass into the net at 6:02 of the second period, tying the game at 1-1. They all count the same, and that will go down as Perreault's first NHL tally. The 20-year-old has picked up two points, three shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four NHL appearances this season while adding 17 points in 20 outings for AHL Hartford.

Miller scored the game-winning goal and added four shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

This was Miller's second overtime winner in the last four games. The 32-year-old center has three goals and four helpers through nine outings in December while maintaining his usual top-six role. He's up to a total of 10 goals (three game-winners), 21 points, 77 shots on net, 74 hits and a minus-11 rating across 34 appearances. Miller is on track to finish below a point-per-game pace for the first time since 2020-21.

Pickard turned aside all 12 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Pickard entered the game near the end of the second period in relief of Tristan Jarry, who left the game with an apparent lower-body injury. Pickard made the most of his chance, as he blanked the Bruins throughout his time in the crease Thursday. Despite not playing enough for the win, the 33-year-old netminder used his performance to boost his season stats to an .857 save percentage and a 3.91 GAA through 12 appearances. With Jarry's status unknown, Pickard could potentially receive an uptick in playing time moving forward. However, he remains an unreliable option in fantasy until he can post consecutive wins this season. His next chance to take the ice is Saturday in Minnesota.

Shesterkin stopped 26 of 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

Shesterkin had allowed at least three goals in each of his previous four outings, going 1-2-1 in that span. The 29-year-old netminder was much better against a Blues team on the second half of a back-to-back, allowing just a Jonatan Berggren tally late in the first period. Shesterkin is up to 14-11-3 with a 2.49 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 28 starts this season. The Rangers play a back-to-back over the weekend, hosting the Flyers on Saturday before visiting the Predators on Sunday.

Kempe scored twice in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

Both goals came in the second period. Kempe's first came in the second period when he skated into the offensive zone and beat Andrei Vasilevskiy with a wrist shot from distance. Kempe's second came after he intercepted a Lightning pass in his own zone and took off, ultimately scoring on a short breakaway with a nifty backhand deke around Vasilevskiy's left pad. It was Kempe's first multi-goal game of the season. He has 13 goals, 17 assists and 99 shots in 34 games, and he's on pace for his third consecutive 70-plus point season.

Hildeby made 25 saves on 29 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Capitals on Thursday.

It seemed like Hildeby was the only Leaf to get on the plane to D.C. -- the rest of his teammates were nowhere to be found. He's had a rough go of it lately. Hildeby has had 10 pucks go past him in his last two starts, but somehow, he still sports a .918 save percentage in eight starts (12 games) this season.

Sourdif delivered two assists in a 4-0 win over Toronto on Thursday.

"Sourdif, I thought, you could make a strong case for that being his best game of the year," Washington head coach Spencer Carbery said after the game. "I thought he was all over the puck." Sourdif has just one other multi-point game this season, which occurred Nov. 24 against Columbus. He's not a fantasy guy -- he has just three goals and six assists in 33 games -- but Sourdif is fun to watch.
