Eichel scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Eichel opened the scoring at 5:09 of the second period and helped out on an Ivan Barbashev goal -- the eventual game-winner -- later in the frame. With five points over his last three games, Eichel looks ready for the Olympics. He's up to a total of 20 goals, 66 points, 183 shots on net, 30 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 49 appearances this season.

Schmid stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Schmid took care of business in an easy matchup, though he allowed goals to defensemen Elias Pettersson and Pierre-Olivier Joseph. This outing ended an 0-2-1 stretch for Schmid, who gave up 10 goals on 77 shots in that span. For the season, the Swiss netminder is at a 16-6-6 record with a 2.53 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 29 appearances. As the lone NHL goalie on Switzerland's Olympic roster, expect Schmid to see steady playing time during the tournament.

Regula was scratched for the 11th time in 12 games in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Regula has lost his place in the Oilers' lineup, with Spencer Stastney and Ty Emberson most often playing bottom-four roles. Regula was held off the scoresheet for his last eight appearances, which may have contributed to the extended stay in the press box. This season, he has three assists, 18 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 29 appearances.

Bouchard registered three assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Bouchard has stood out over the last 10 games, earning four goals, 13 helpers and a plus-8 rating. The 26-year-old defenseman picked up assists on both of Leon Draisaitl's power-play goals as well as a Kasperi Kapanen tally at even strength in this contest. Bouchard is up to 63 points (22 on the power play), 161 shots on net, 78 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 58 appearances this season.

Kapanen scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Kapanen has scored in back-to-back games to begin February. The 29-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, where he's had plenty of success when healthy this season. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-8 rating through 19 appearances. Kapanen has appeal in fantasy as a depth forward, particularly in formats that reward hits.

Draisaitl scored a pair of power-play goals on five shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Draisaitl has four goals and nine assists over his last six games. The 30-year-old has 13 power-play goals this season, six of which have come in four games against the Flames, so he may be disappointed that the Battle of Alberta is over for the year. Overall, he's at 29 tallies, 80 points (34 on the power play), 161 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 55 appearances.

Jarry allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

The Flames converted twice on the power play in the first period, and Jarry gave up an even-strength goal in each of the last two frames. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed at least four goals in four of his last five games. For the season, Jarry is 15-7-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 25 appearances, but his numbers have been far worse in Edmonton than they were in Pittsburgh. He is poised to continue competing with Connor Ingram for playing time following the Olympic break.

Whitecloud logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

Whitecloud has earned three helpers over seven outings with the Flames. He's immediately stepped into a top-four role, though the increase in ice time hasn't made much of a difference for his offense. For the season, the 29-year-old blueliner is at 10 points, 46 shots on net, 86 hits, 76 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances between Calgary and Vegas.

Weegar logged two power-play assists, two shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

Weegar is picking up steam with four helpers over his last three outings. The 32-year-old defenseman made his first power-play contributions since Dec. 31 with this performance. Overall, he's at 20 points, 123 shots on net, 127 hits, 129 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a minus-32 rating through 56 appearances. Weegar's fantasy value continues to come mostly from his non-scoring production.

Kadri notched two assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

This was Kadri's second multi-point effort in a row after he went 19 games without one. He was limited to just four points during that span. The 35-year-old center is up to 39 points, 155 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-24 rating through 56 appearances. Despite his recent struggles, he's still been one of the Flames' better forwards for the season. Kadri has popped up in trade rumors, but he's signed for three more years at a $7 million cap hit, so he may be difficult to move if Calgary decides to fully embrace a teardown.
