Yurov notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
Yurov's helper was his first point in four outings since he missed two games due to an undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old has been listed on the top line at even strength lately, and he may hold onto that on-paper role now that Marco Rossi is a Canuck following Friday's blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade. Yurov is up to eight points in 25 appearances, his helper Saturday being his first power-play contribution. He's added 31 shots on net, 17 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Yurov isn't quite a household name for fantasy yet, but he has plenty of time to develop into one.

Wild's Danila Yurov: First career goal a game-winner
Rotowire
Yurov scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Rangers.
The 21-year-old jammed home the rebound on Marcus Johansson's wraparound attempt midway through the third period to break a 1-1 tie. It was Yurov's first career NHL point in his fifth game, and while the 2022 first-round pick is still stuck in a bottom-six role at even strength, he did skate on the second power-play unit Monday as he begins to earn the trust of coach John Hynes.
