Suzuki provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Suzuki set up a Cole Caufield goal in the second period, which got the Canadiens on the board. Prior to Tuesday, Suzuki had gone two games without a point. It's just the fourth time he's had a multi-game drought all season. The center is up to 11 goals, 25 helpers, 71 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances.

Holloway delivered a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Chicago in the Winter Classic outdoor game.

He was in the right place at the right time -- Justin Faulk's shot rang the post and went right to Holloway, who settled the puck and scored before Petr Mrazek could even react. He has four goals, three assists and 15 shots in his last four games after slogging through a six-game point drought. Overall, Holloway has 14 goals, 12 assists and 93 shots in 39 games this season. His breakout is official.

Texier scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-2 win over Chicago in Tuesday's Winter Classic.

Texier isn't known for his offense, but he's upped his scoring with four points, including two goals, and nine shots in his last four games. Texier doesn't deliver blocks or hits, so his fantasy value is tied to streaks like this.

Barzal provided an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Barzal now has three points and a plus-1 rating over seven contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. He hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive games this season, and he also doesn't have a multi-point effort. He's been limited to eight points, 44 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 17 outings, but given his spot in the Islanders' top six, he could be a buy-low candidate for fantasy.

Keller (illness) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Oilers.

Keller played 19:47 in Seattle on Monday, logging an assist and four shots on net with no obvious issues, but he ended up under the weather a day later. It's a tough break for Utah to be without its captain against the Oilers. His next chance to play is Thursday in Calgary.

Dewar provided an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

Dewar ended a seven-game point drought that also saw him sit out twice as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has been limited to fourth-line duties this year, so it's unlikely he'll put up significant scoring numbers even at the best of times. He's logged two assists, 22 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

Kampf scored a goal in a 3-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

He put the Leafs up 1-0 late in the first period. Kampf was in the slot and one-timed a perfect pass from William Nylander past Ilya Sorokin's glove. He has two goals in his last three games, but we're not investing. Kampf is a lucky tag-along with Nylander, and he doesn't really have top-six skill. Nice goal, though.

Pageau scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

Pageau wired a one-timer from below the left hash marks that Joseph Woll couldn't nab. He has three goals and 12 shots in his last five games. Pageau's on pace for a 40-point season, but he doesn't get a lot of power-play time, so his fantasy value is restricted to spot starts in daily formats.

Protas tallied two goals and added five shots during Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Protas continues to build on a breakout season in which he has deposited 16 goals and 32 points in 37 games. The 23-year-old may struggle to maintain his 23.2 percent shooting rate over the course of an entire season, but Protas' growing skillset and hulking frame should continue to pay dividends for fantasy managers as the calendar moves into 2025.

Dach scored a goal on three shots, blocked one shot and had a hit in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Vegas.

Dach completed Montreal's comeback from a 2-0 first-period deficit when he slid a puck through the five hole of Vegas goalie Adin Hill midway through the third period. It's been a rough start to the season for Dach, who has just five goals over 37 outings, but he, along with several other Canadiens, has emerged from a funk. He's potted three goals over the last three games.
