  • Sam Reinhart C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Three points including GWG

    Reinhart scored the game-winning goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Chicago.

    It was Reinhart's first multi-point performance since Jan. 13, snapping a brief slump that had seen him produce just two goals and three points over his prior eight games. Saturday's goal was Reinhart's 30th of the season, marking the fourth straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone. Reinhart's only the second player in franchise history to post four 30-goal seasons for the Panthers, joining Olli Jokinen.

  • Ryan Suzuki C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Dropped to AHL

    Suzuki was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday.

    Carolina summoned Riley Stillman from the minors in a corresponding move. Suzuki made his NHL debut against the Blackhawks on Thursday and played in the Hurricanes' last two games, providing two hits and a plus-1 rating.

  • Zach Hyman LW | EDM

    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nets goal Saturday

    Hyman scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    The Oilers loaded up their top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl playing together. Corey Perry was listed with that trio initially, but Perry plays limited minutes, so Hyman still got some shifts in a prominent role as one of the Oilers' most trusted forwards. The goal was Hyman's third in seven contests against the Maple Leafs since he left them for the Oilers in 2021-22. For the season, the 32-year-old winger is at 18 goals, 13 helpers, 137 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-15 rating over 47 appearances.

  • John Tavares C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Grabs helper in return

    Tavares notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

    Tavares saw 19:54 of ice time in his return from a lower-body injury that cost him six games. The 34-year-old center returned to his usual top-six role as well as a spot on the first power-play unit. Tavares is at 20 goals, 23 helpers, 125 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating over 45 appearances. It's unclear if he'll be able to hover around a point-per-game pace the rest of the way, but he should give Toronto's offense a significant boost now that he's healthy again.

  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Scores on power play Saturday

    McMann scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

    With the return of Matthew Knies (upper body), McMann moved back down to the third line. The Maple Leafs' replenished lineup didn't cost McMann a power-play role, as he cashed in while skating with the second unit. The winger has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings, but his offense could take a dip now that he's back in a bottom-six role. He's matched his career high with 15 goals, and with 23 points over 44 outings, he's one shy of matching his total output from 56 games in the 2023-24 regular season. McMann has added 111 shots on net, 72 hits and a plus-5 rating in 2024-25.

  • Jets' Mark Scheifele: Notches pair of assists

    Scheifele logged two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

    Scheifele logged his third multi-point effort in four games, posting four goals and three assists in that span. The center continues to play at an elite level on the Jets' top line. For the season, he's at 31 goals, 30 helpers, 123 shots on net, 41 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 54 appearances. He's had no fewer than 13 points in any month so far, though that may be a challenging mark to reach in February due to the NHL's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off that will cover nearly half of the month.

  • Nazem Kadri C | COL

    Flames' Nazem Kadri: Breaks up shutout bid

    Kadri scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Red Wings.

    Kadri's goal at 8:34 of the third period spoiled Cam Talbot's shutout bid. With three goals and three assists over his last six outings, Kadri continues to provide solid offense in a top-line role. The 34-year-old center had Joel Farabee on his wing Saturday following Thursday's trade with the Flyers -- the Flames' line combinations could be in flux for a bit as they work to get Farabee and Morgan Frost in the right spots. Kadri is up to 18 goals, 35 points (11 on the power play), 167 shots on net, 57 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 51 appearances.

  • Andrew Copp C | DET

    Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Fills empty cage

    Copp scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

    Copp has been limited to five points over his last 15 outings, including two goals across his last five games. The 30-year-old remains in a second-line role, but his production isn't matching the role very well. Copp has struggled in general in 2024-25, earning 20 points, 64 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 52 appearances, a pace roughly in line with his 33-point regular season from 2023-24.

  • Dylan Larkin C | DET

    Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Scores in Saturday's win

    Larkin scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

    Larkin tallied the opening goal, cashing in on a shot after taking a stretch pass from Christian Fischer. In the Todd McLellan era, Larkin has popped off with 11 goals and 12 assists over 18 contests, and nine of those 23 points have come on the power play. The 28-year-old center is up to 23 goals, 49 points, 167 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Nets 300th assist in just 599 games

    Matthews delivered two assists in a 4-3 win over Edmonton.

    Matthews earned his 300th career assist in his 599th game played to become the fourth American player in NHL history to reach 300 goals and 300 assists prior to his 600th appearance. He joined Brett Hull (765 points; 450 goals, 315 assists in 599 games), Pat LaFontaine (689 points; 343 goals and 346 assists in 599 games) and Joe Mullen (671 points; 315 goals and 356 assists in 599 games). Matthews sits at 20 goals and 20 assists, along with 148 shots, in 37 outings this season.
