Kadri logged a power-play assist, six shots on goal and 12 PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Kadri set up Blake Coleman's first-period tally. The helper gives Kadri a total of 12 points over 13 contests since the start of December. The center is up to 14 goals, 13 assists, eight power-play points, 133 shots on net, 29 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 38 outings overall in a top-line role.

Zary scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Zary has scored in back-to-back contests and has six points over his last seven games. The 23-year-old forward is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 80 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 38 appearances this season. He's made modest gains in most areas this season, and while he remains listed on the third line, Zary has often seen more ice time that role would suggest. He's a decent option for fantasy managers in deeper redraft formats.

Coleman scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Utah.

Coleman ended a three-game slump when he scored late in the first period. He also assisted on a Brayden Pachal tally in the second period. After logging seven points over 12 contests in December, expectations may be a little higher for Coleman, who has held a spot on the second power-play unit for a couple of weeks. The 33-year-old has nine goals, 19 points (two on the power play), 86 shots on net, 75 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 38 outings this season.

Duchene got a goal and an assist Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Senators.

Duchene has five points (two goals, three assists) and 12 shots in his last three games, and he continues to lead the Stars in scoring with 35 points, including 15 goals, in 37 games. Duchene is a low-maintenance fantasy star who often is underrated by managers. He shouldn't be -- he's the kind of player that simply helps you win.

Bjugstad produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Bjugstad snapped a 12-game point drought with a helper on Lawson Crouse's go-ahead goal at 2:35 of the third period. In that span, Bjugstad went minus-8 with 21 shots on net and 14 hits. The 32-year-old has centered the third line a majority of the time this year, but that group has struggled to get on the scoresheet regularly. Bjugstad has just nine points with 48 shots on net, 43 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 30 appearances, so he doesn't need to be rostered in many fantasy formats.

Kerfoot produced an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Kerfoot had just four points over 13 contests in December, but he's off to a positive start in January. The 30-year-old forward is up to 14 points, 53 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-4 rating through 38 appearances. Kerfoot's current role is in the bottom six with no power-play time, so his chances of being consistent on offense are fairly low.

Hayton produced an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Hayton helped out on Clayton Keller's game-tying goal early in the third period. The assist ended a three-game slump for Hayton. He remains on the top line, and he's also found himself on the second power-play unit in the last two contests as Utah has dealt with absences due to an illness working through the team's locker room. Hayton is up to seven goals, 10 helpers, 52 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 38 appearances this season.

Stenlund scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Stenlund has just two goals over his last eight contests, though he had a five-game point streak prior to that. The 28-year-old fourth-line forward probably shouldn't be counted on for consistent offense. He's up to seven goals, 11 points, 51 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-9 rating through 38 outings overall. He needs four points to match his career-best total from the 2023-24 regular season with the Panthers.

Cooley scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Cooley has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak, with three of those points coming on the power play. The 20-year-old center played at a point-per-game pace in December (three goals, 10 assists in 13 contests) and looks set to stay hot in January. The Pennsylvania native is at 10 goals, 34 points, 74 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 38 outings this season.

Keller scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Keller missed one game due to an illness. He played 17:51 in this contest, which is on the lower end of his normal range of ice time. The 26-year-old winger has scored seven times and added eight assists over his last 10 outings. For the season, he has been a star on Utah's top line with 14 goals, 25 helpers, 15 power-play points, 96 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 37 appearances.
