Eberle scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

Eberle's tally with 4:29 left in the third period denied Lukas Dostal a shutout. Eberle saw a four-game point streak end in Vegas on Saturday, but he has three goals and four helpers over his last six outings as the Kraken's top line continues to hum along. The winger is up to 20 goals, 18 assists, 118 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-8 rating over 53 appearances this season.

Grubauer stopped 27 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

The teams played a scoreless first period, but the Ducks got to Grubauer twice in the second and third frames. The 34-year-old netminder has faced the Ducks three times this season, allowing a total of eight goals on 102 shots despite going 1-2-0 in those contests. Overall, he's at an 11-6-3 record with a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage. This was likely his last start before the Olympic break -- Grubauer will play with Germany at the tournament. Look for Joey Daccord to tend the twine Wednesday versus the Kings.

Harkins logged two assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

This performance ended a 12-game slump for Harkins. He was scratched three times in that span, and he'll have to fend off Ryan Strome for playing time moving forward. Harkins is at three goals, five points, 21 shots on net, 86 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 31 outings this season. He continues to primarily play in a bottom-six role when in the lineup.

LaCombe notched two assists and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

LaCombe hasn't been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests over the last 15 games. In that span, he's racked up 14 helpers, 19 shots on net, 28 blocks, 12 hits and a minus-3 rating. The 25-year-old blueliner continues to get top billing among the Ducks' defensemen. He has six goals, a career-high 31 assists, 109 shots on net, 97 blocks, 48 hits and a minus-5 rating over 56 appearances this season.

Johnston scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Philipp Grubauer misplayed a puck behind the net, and Jansen Harkins was able to feed Johnston in close range before the Seattle goalie got back into position. Johnston ended a 13-game point drought with the tally. The 31-year-old winger has seen consistent playing time in the Ducks' bottom six for much of the campaign, though his offense hasn't always followed suit. This is still easily the best year of his career with three goals, 13 points, 30 shots on net, 163 hits, 88 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 54 appearances.

Killorn scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Killorn has three goals and two assists over his last eight outings. The 36-year-old forward continues to get top-six minutes, though he's taken a slight dip in ice time since Troy Terry returned from an upper-body injury. Killorn is now at seven goals, 18 points, 102 shots on net, 49 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 56 appearances this season, giving him limited appeal in most fantasy formats.

Trouba scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Trouba has two goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 15 hits and 32 blocked shots over his last 11 outings. His tally late in the second period put the Ducks ahead 2-0, and their momentum carried over into the third. Trouba is up to nine goals, 25 points, 110 shots, 100 hits, 110 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 55 outings overall as a consistent top-four blueliner. He's in a contract year, which may explain some of his uptick in production.

Gauthier scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Gauthier has scored in consecutive contests and has five goals and four assists over his last eight games. He reached the 25-goal mark with his tally Tuesday, and he's got an outside chance for 40 if he pops off after the Olympic break. The winger is at a total of 49 points, 208 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-2 rating through 55 appearances.

Dostal allowed two goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

This was Dostal's eighth win in his last nine outings as he's helped guide the Ducks back into competition as the Pacific Division tightens up. Both goals against came in the last five minutes as the Ducks let off the gas following a strong 55 minutes. Dostal is up to 21-13-2 with a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. The next stop for Dostal is the Olympics, where he'll represent Czechia, though it's not yet clear if he will assume the No. 1 job for his country, which also boasts the Mammoth's Karel Vejmelka and the Flyers' Dan Vladar.

Vasilevskiy made 23 saves Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime win against the Sabres.

It's hard to argue with a guy who has won seven straight and 15 of his last 16 games. The Bolts next play Thursday against the Panthers. Vasy may get rested or not, given the team's next game is Feb. 25. This rest period will do him wonders heading down the stretch.
