Roslovic scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over Utah.

Roslovic had the final goal of the game with 1:26 left in the third period. The 28-year-old forward has just three points over 18 games since the start of January, a performance that has earned him a spot firmly in the bottom six. For the season, he's at 19 goals, nine helpers, 100 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 55 outings. The break for the 4 Nations Face-Off should give Roslovic a chance to rest and reset. He's likely to finish with the second 20-goal season of his career, and he could also get to the 40-point mark for the third time in four years.

Goncalves logged an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Goncalves will be sad to see the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- he has four assists over his last five outings. The 24-year-old earned a look in the top six over the previous two contests due to his recent strong play. The Lightning have one more game before the break against the Canadiens on Sunday, and Goncalves should be a decent DFS budget option for the two-game slate if he stays in the top six.

McLeod logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Predators.

McLeod helped out on Rasmus Dahlin's tally in the first period. With four points over his last five games, McLeod is doing pretty well while handling a top-six role in recent contests. The 25-year-old led the Sabres' forwards with 21:09 of ice time Saturday. He's at 28 points -- two shy of matching his career high from 81 regular-season outings with the Oilers last year -- and he's added 54 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 51 appearances in 2024-25.

Cozens scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Predators.

Cozens battled a lower-body injury earlier in the week but was able to avoid missing any game action. He snapped a nine-game goal drought when he scored in the third period to bring the Sabres within one, though they failed to find an equalizer. The 23-year-old center is up to 11 goals, 27 points (four on the power play), 121 shots on net, 121 hits, 51 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 54 appearances. He could still get to the 40-point mark this season, but he may not be able to match the 47 he had in 2023-24.

Lundell tallied a shorthanded goal in a 5-1 win over the Senators.

It went into the empty net but still counts the same as any other goal. Lundell ended a five-game goal drought with his second shortie this season. With 37 points in 57 games, Lundell is on pace to establish a new career mark in points. He's already set a new personal best for power-play points (six) in 2024-25.

Bennett scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Ottawa.

He gave the Panthers a 4-1 lead near the end of the second period with a one-timer from the right dot off a feed from Matthew Tkachuk. Bennett is on a modest three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists) with 13 shots. Bennett is shooting at a career rate this season, and he's on pace to match his career-best 173 hits, which he set last season. He'll help in multi-category formats.

Reinhart delivered an assist Saturday in a 5-1 win over the Senators.

Reinhart is on a six-game, nine-point streak, but more importantly, he hit the 600-point mark in his NHL career. He's having another fantastic season, with 31 goals and 31 assists in 57 games. Reinhart's 20.8 shooting percentage is below last season's unsustainable 24.5 percent that netted him 57 goals, but it's still an impressive pace and a sign that 2023-24's pace wasn't a fluke. He's on pace for a 45-goal, 90-point and 214-shot result this year.

O'Reilly racked up four assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

One of O'Reilly's helpers came on the power play. He set up two goals each for Filip Forsberg and Brady Skjei -- all four of the assists were primaries for O'Reilly in one of the best games of his career. This was also his first multi-point effort since his hat trick in Calgary on Jan. 4. The center is up to 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists), 96 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 51 appearances this season.

Novak scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Novak has six goals and four assists over his last 10 contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring in the first period Saturday. He's up to 11 goals, 19 points, 79 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 45 appearances. The break for the 4 Nations Face-Off comes at a bad time for Novak, who finally had some momentum on offense for the first time this season, so he'll be a player to watch when the NHL resumes Feb. 22 as the Predators host the Avalanche.

Barkov scored a goal and added a power-play assist in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

He knocked down Matthew Tkachuk's fluttering point shot in the slot and past Linus Ullmark to put the Panthers up 2-1 at 11:36 of the second frame. Barkov's current point streak now stands at six games and 11 points (three goals, eight assists). During that span, he has five power-play points, including four assists. Barkov is on pace for his 10th straight 20-goal season, and his winning percentage at the dot continues to improve. He won eight-of-14 faceoffs on Saturday and has a career-best 59.4 percent success rate this season.
