Drury scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Drury ended his eight-game point drought with the tally, which ended up being the game-winner. The 25-year-old center has been playing on the third line lately, and while his value hasn't shown up in offense, he offers a bit of defensive stability and good faceoff skills, areas that the Avalanche were lacking in the bottom six. For the season, Drury has six goals, 12 points, 79 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 51 appearances between Colorado and Carolina.

Colton scored twice on five shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Colton has four points over his last two games, including a power-play empty-netter to close out Friday's win. Prior to this burst of offense, he had gone 14 contests without a point. That makes it tough to trust Colton in fantasy, though his physicality partially makes up for the times when his offense is quiet. He's at 15 goals, five assists, six power-play points, 96 shots on net, 104 hits and a a minus-6 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Danault notched an assist and five shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

Danault was productive in February, earning a goal and seven assists over eight contests. He set up a Warren Foegele tally in the first period of Friday's game. Danault is now at five goals, 26 helpers, 89 shots on net, 61 hits, 55 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 56 appearances. He continues to play on the second line and should offer supporting offense as well as strong two-way play down the stretch.

Duchene scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Duchene bounced back after the end of his four-game multi-point streak Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets. The Stars took the lead with his first-period power-play marker, and they never looked back. Duchene is up to 24 goals on the season, one back of his 80-game total from the 2023-24 regular season. He's also reached the 60-point mark while adding 110 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 59 appearances. At his current pace, Duchene is on track to reach the 80-point mark for the second time in his career.

Johnston scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Johnston had a bit of a mixed performance, but he was able to extend his point streak to five games (three goals, four assists). His tally stretched the Stars' lead to 4-1 in the second period. The 21-year-old is up to 18 goals, 34 helpers, 16 power-play points, 159 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 59 appearances. His goal-scoring hasn't been at the same level as last year's 32-goal regular season, but he's on track to surpass the 65 points he put up over 82 contests in 2023-24.

Steel scored a shorthanded goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Steel earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 7 in this contest. The 27-year-old helped out on a Logan Stankoven goal just after a power play expired in the first period, and he added his shortie in the final frame. Steel reached the 20-point mark for the fifth time in his career (six goals, 14 assists), and he's also scored at least one shorthanded goal in three straight seasons. He's added 75 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 57 appearances in 2024-25.

Stankoven scored twice on four shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Stankoven has three points over two contests since he was scratched versus the Islanders on Sunday. The 22-year-old ended a five-game goal drought with a first-period tally and added another goal in the third. Stankoven is up to nine goals, 28 points, 147 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-2 rating over 56 appearances. He's seen even-strength time on the first line lately, which could set him up for a strong finish to the campaign if he stays there.

Miller notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Miller was able to play after being questionable due to an illness prior to the contest. The 31-year-old center was also 13-for-16 on faceoffs, so he had a strong all-around performance highlighted by his helper on a Mika Zibanejad tally. Miller has three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak, and he's at 14 goals, 31 helpers, 98 shots on net, 123 hits and a minus-4 rating over 49 appearances between the Rangers and the Canucks this season.

Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots, added a shorthanded assist and logged two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Zibanejad's early penalty in the first period led to the Maple Leafs' first goal. The 31-year-old redeemed himself by tying the score at 1-1 later in the frame, and he set up Will Cuylle's tally in the third that evened the score at two apiece, but it wasn't enough. Zibanejad is still on a roll -- he got on the scoresheet in eight of nine games in February, earning four goals and nine assists for the month, which is nearly a third of his production all season. He's at 13 goals, 42 points (15 on the power play, three shorthanded), 131 shots on net and a minus-21 rating across 59 appearances.

Domi posted a power-play assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Domi has six helpers across his last nine games, and four of them have come on the power play. He set up an Oliver Ekman-Larsson tally early in the first period of this contest. Domi ends February stuck in a 26-game goal drought, and while he has 12 helpers in that span, it's not really enough to offset the lack of scoring from a fantasy perspective. Overall, he's at 23 points (six on the power play), 71 shots on net, 38 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances.
