McTavish generated a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over Edmonton.

McTavish set up Robby Fabbri's fifth goal of the campaign in the second period, and the former sealed the win with an empty-netter late in final frame. This was McTavish's third multi-point effort in 2024-25 but first since Oct. 29. The left-shot center has an immense amount of potential, but he'll need to show more consistency to be of use for fantasy managers. McTavish is at five markers, 11 helpers and a minus-3 rating through 29 appearances.

Fabbri produced a goal and an assist Sunday in a 5-3 win over Edmonton.

Fabbri tied the score at 3-3 late in the middle frame, and he set up Mason McTavish's empty-net goal to seal the win. Fabbri's resurgence in terms of offensive production in December has been night and day compared to his output over the first two months of the campaign. The left-shot winger has accumulated three goals and four helpers over eight appearances in December -- he had just two goals across 14 appearances between October and November. Fabbri has provided five goals and nine points through 22 appearances this season.

Dorofeyev logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.

Dorofeyev has three points over his last six games, an improvement on the six-game slump that came before that stretch. The 24-year-old winger remains in a third-line role -- without a return to the top six, his offense may be limited. He's at 13 goals, seven helpers, 104 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 36 appearances this season, so he's still a decent source of depth scoring in fantasy.

Eichel notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.

Eichel has a goal and five helpers during his four-game point streak, which includes a pair of shorthanded points from Friday's win over the Sharks. The 28-year-old center has emerged as an all-situations force in 2024-25. He's up to 10 goals, 38 helpers, 104 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 36 appearances in a top-line role.

Howden scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flames.

Howden is on a surge with five goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 26-year-old forward's goal was the game-winner in the shutout, as he opened the scoring 15:59 into the second period. He's matched last year's point total (19) in half the time, racking up 15 goals and four assists through 36 contests after requiring 72 games to get to that mark in 2023-24. This season, he's added 60 shots on net, 63 hits, 30 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating while filling a middle-six role.

Schenn scored his sixth goal of the season Sunday in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo.

Schenn snapped a seven-game goal drought with the marker. The left-shot center added five shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in 18:43 of ice time. St. Louis' captain plays in all situations, but that hasn't translated to much success -- the second-line center has produced six goals and 19 points through 38 contests. Schenn has registered three consecutive 20-goal campaigns, but he's on pace for just 13 markers in 2024-25.

Kulich deposited an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Kulich put Buffalo up 4-2 with an insurance marker at 16:19 of the third period. The 20-year-old registered just two goals over the first two months of the campaign, but he's picked up the pace through 12 games in December with five tallies and two helpers. Kulich has bounced around the lineup this season, but he's currently centering the third line in addition to having a role on the No. 2 power-play unit. The 2022 first-round selection has provided seven goals and nine points through 27 outings.

Krebs netted an even-strength goal on two shots and added two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Krebs redirected a Bowen Byram shot to open the scoring at 6:52 of the first period. The goal was Krebs' first since Nov. 23, and he snapped a seven-game point drought in the process. The 23-year-old is skating on the third line, but he's received minimal time on the man advantage over his last six games. That's unlikely to change considering all of Krebs' offensive contributions have come at even strength in 2024-25. The Calgary native has chipped in four goals and 11 points through 36 appearances.

McMichael tallied an assist while logging 15:13 of ice time during Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

McMichael got the secondary assist on Alex Ovechkin's 870th career goal. The 23-year-old is enjoying a breakout season with 16 goals and 30 points in 36 games and should be rolled out regularly in all formats.

Veleno registered an assist while logging 13:09 of ice time during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

Veleno finds himself on the top line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond and has paid instant dividends following the promotion. The 24-year-old's fantasy appeal could benefit from some exposure to the power play, but Veleno is worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's enjoying such a prominent even-strength assignment.
