Goncalves notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

The absence of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) led to significant changes to the Lightning's lineup. Goncalves benefited, earning a top-line chance at even strength, and he made good on it by assisting on Brayden Point's third-period insurance tally. Goncalves has a helper in three of his last four contests, and he's up to five points, 28 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-2 rating over 31 games this season.

Suter notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

Suter set up Dakota Joshua on the opening tally at 8:04 of the third period. With three goals and three assists over his last six outings, Suter has put up decent offense while serving as a middle-six center. The 28-year-old forward is up to 14 goals, 11 assists, three power-play points, 82 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 53 appearances. He's on pace to challenge his career highs of 15 goals and 36 points from the 2021-22 campaign with the Red Wings.

Joshua scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Sharks.

The goal was Joshua's first point since Dec. 18. He was held off the scoresheet for 11 contests and missed another 11 games due to a leg injury in that span. The 28-year-old has gotten a look with the second power-play unit recently, which could help him get his offense on track. For the season, Joshua has three goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 96 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances.

Domi logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Domi has a helper in three of his last four outings, and two of those assists have come with the man advantage. The 29-year-old also stayed on the top line at even strength even with Mitch Marner (lower body) back in action, though Marner led the Maple Leafs with 25:08 of ice time. Domi has most often been in a middle-six role this season. He's produced 20 points, 64 shots on net, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 46 appearances.

Tavares produced an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Tavares has a goal and two assists over three games in February after returning from a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He's slotted right back into his usual spot on the second line and first power-play unit and hasn't lost a beat. The 34-year-old center is up to 45 points, 129 shots on net, 59 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 47 appearances this season. He's on pace for a significant rebound after slipping to 29 goals and 65 points in the 2023-24 regular season.

Matthews notched an assist, six shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Matthews has six assists and 16 shots on net over three outings in February. He's also gone five games without a goal, his longest stretch without scoring since a pair of four-game stretches in November of 2023. For the season, the star center has 20 goals, 24 assists, 157 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 39 contests.

McMann scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

McMann scored for the fourth time in five games, and this was his second power-play tally in that span. His goal late in the first period also stood as the game-winner. Despite a demotion to the third line, the physical winger continues to get involved on offense. He's secured a career year with 17 goals, 25 points, 117 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-7 rating over 46 outings, surpassing his production from 56 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Guentzel picked up a goal in Tampa Bay's 5-1 win over Ottawa on Thursday.

Guentzel opened the scoring on the power play at the mid-point of the first period when he poked in a loose puck off a rebound. He has six goals, four assists and 33 shots in his last 11 games. Overall, Guentzel's 27 goals are second on the Bolts, behind only Brayden Point's 29. His 13 power-play goals not only lead the team, but also lead the NHL.

Point had a goal and two assists in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.

Point has 29 goals, 27 assists and 123 shots in 48 games this season. That puts him on pace for a campaign that almost perfectly mirrors his output last season -- 46 goals and 90 points. Point is as consistent as they come. He will skate for Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off from Feb. 12-20.

Amadio scored the Senators' only goal in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

It's Amadio's third goal in his last four games. It's a real outburst for the winger, who has just five goals and 14 points in 45 games this season. And his secondary stats (56 hits and 27 blocks) are unspectacular. Amadio is a journeyman who has played for five NHL teams over the last eight seasons. His value is on the ice, not in the fantasy arena.
