Donato logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and six hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Blues in the Winter Classic.

Donato had a fine December for a depth forward. He logged seven points, including three power-play assists, while adding 33 shots on net, 32 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating. The 28-year-old forward has bounced all around Chicago's lineup this year, but he's been steady as a complementary scorer -- he hasn't had a drought longer than four games. Donato has 11 goals, 10 assists, five power-play points, 86 shots on net, 70 hits and a minus-4 rating through 36 appearances.

Miller notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and seven PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Miller has racked up five assists, including three on the power play, over the last four games. The 31-year-old center also has 11 shots on net over his last three outings, but his goal drought is up to 10 contests. For the season, Miller has six goals, 18 helpers, nine power-play points, 50 shots on net, 59 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 26 appearances in his usual top-line role.

Pospisil notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

This was Pospisil's 100th NHL game. The forward has produced 36 points and 353 hits so far in his career, though he's frequently seen top-six minutes at even strength. Pospisil was limited to two helpers, 54 hits and 18 PIM over 12 outings in December, as he was unable to enjoy the scoring consistency of linemates Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri. Pospisil is up to 12 points, 49 shots on net, 51 PIM, 115 hits and a plus-3 rating over 37 contests this season.

Sharangovich notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Sharangovich has two helpers over his last four games, but he logged just three points in December. He hasn't been able to get involved much on offense while filling a third-line role, though he remains a factor on the power play despite not earning a point in that role since Dec. 27. The 26-year-old two-way forward has six goals, four assists, 66 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 30 appearances this season, way off the pace that saw him earn a career-best 59 points last year.

Zary scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Zary tallied the opening goal at 14:31 of the first period. This was the forward's 100th career game, and he's earned a total of 55 points so far. The 23-year-old was good in December with four goals and five assists over 12 appearances, giving him nine goals, 21 points, 76 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 37 outings this season. Zary's still listed on the third line, but he's been productive in that spot on a low-scoring team.

Kadri scored a goal on five shots, doled out three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Kadri put the Flames ahead for good at 9:14 of the third period. The 34-year-old played well in December with six goals, five assists and 47 shots on net over 12 appearances, and he's looked good in a top-line partnership with Jonathan Huberdeau. Kadri is up to 14 goals (two game-winners), 26 points, 127 shots on net, 28 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 37 appearances this season. He'll continue to return solid fantasy value while in a prominent role in the Flames' offense.

Huberdeau scored an empty-net goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Huberdeau capped off his most productive month as a Flame with his fifth multi-point effort in 12 games in December. He racked up eight goals and seven assists in that span while seeing consistent top-line usage. The winger is up to 16 tallies -- his most in three years -- as well as 13 assists, 65 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 26 hits and a minus-7 rating through 37 appearances. He's on pace to top the 60-point mark for the first time since his 115-point effort in 2021-22.

Cooley notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

Cooley has been good all season, but he maintained a point-per-game pace in December with three goals and 10 assists over 13 outings. The 20-year-old center is enjoying a full-on breakout campaign. He's at nine goals, 24 helpers, 72 shots on net, 30 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. A 70-point sophomore campaign is a realistic possibility, and that has value in virtually all fantasy formats.

McBain scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

McBain tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, but Utah couldn't solve Stuart Skinner after that. This tally ended a 10-game goal drought for McBain, who added two assists, 15 shots on net and 39 hits in that span. The 24-year-old has maintained a second-line role recently, but that lack of production could see him head back to the bottom six if head coach Andre Tourigny mixes up his lines. McBain has 10 goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 47 PIM, 119 hits and a plus-8 rating over 37 appearances this season.

Marchessault scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to the Wild.

Marchessault got back on the board after he had his eight-game, 13-point scoring streak snapped Monday against the Jets. His game is heating up after a sluggish start to the season. Overall, Marchessault has 14 goals, 13 assists and 112 shots in 38 games. He could be a solid trade target, as his manager is probably pretty frustrated right now.
