Kastelic logged an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.

Kastelic has three helpers over four games in December after going without a point in November. The 25-year-old power forward has been a physical force this season with 115 hits through 28 contests, and he's also collected 10 points to put himself one shy of his career high. He's added 50 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Kastelic's consistency is still a little shaky, but he appears set to have something of a breakout year, with enough physicality to carry value in deeper formats.

Coyle recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.

Coyle hadn't recorded an assist since Nov. 7 versus the Flames, though he had five goals over 13 games between helpers. The 32-year-old center set up the second of Trent Frederic's two tallies in Saturday's contest. Coyle is now at nine points, 42 shots on net, 45 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 29 appearances. He remains in a third-line role and will need more consistency to move up the depth chart.

Kyrou notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Kyrou continues to be steady offensively, though he's rarely been explosive. He has only five multi-point efforts this season and just two since Oct. 24. The 26-year-old has four points over his last four games. Kyrou has supplied nine goals, 14 assists, five power-play points, 80 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating through 28 outings this season. He still holds a prominent role on the second line and first power-play unit.

Thomas notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Thomas set up Dylan Holloway's third-period tally to get the Blues on the board. The 25-year-old Thomas is on a roll with six points over his last three outings. The center is up to four goals, 12 helpers, 36 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 16 contests this season. While the time Thomas missed with a broken ankle will likely deny him the opportunity for a career year, he could maintain a point-per-game pace to register a 70-point campaign if he avoids additional injuries.

Holloway scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Holloway was booed throughout the night by the Oilers' faithful -- an expected response after the 23-year-old signed an offer sheet in August to join the Blues. The winger was able to get the Blues on the board in the third period, but the comeback effort fell short. Holloway is still doing well with his new team. He's on a six-game point streak (five goals, four assists), and he's at a total of 17 points, 64 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-7 rating over 28 appearances.

Draisaitl logged two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Draisaitl had a hand in tallies by Corey Perry and Zach Hyman in Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old Draisait has two straight multi-point efforts to make up for the two-game slump that came before it. He has generated 19 goals, 17 helpers, nine power-play points, 75 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 27 appearances. While his career-high 25.3 shooting percentage will likely recede, Draisaitl has enough talent to continue his push toward a fourth straight 100-point campaign.

Hyman scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

Hyman received a threaded pass from Connor McDavid and made no mistake, putting the Oilers ahead 3-0 at 14:37 of the second period. Hyman has three goals over two contests since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old winger is up to six tallies, 11 points (four on the power play), 62 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 appearances. He continues to skate on the first line and top power-play unit, and his play since his return from injury is a good sign that his season is heading in the right direction following a troublesome start.

McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

McDavid picked up his first goal in the last four games, though he also has six assists in that span. The 27-year-old center did his damage in the second period, scoring off a turnover before setting up Zach Hyman's tally, which was the game-winner. McDavid is up to 13 goals, 37 points, 10 power-play points, 86 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 24 outings overall.

Trenin scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Trenin couldn't buy a goal over the first two months of the season, but he's now scored in back-to-back games. His tally Saturday had no impact other than breaking up Darcy Kuemper's shutout bid with 1:13 to go in the contest. Trenin is at three points, 19 shots on net, 73 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 27 appearances, and his limited offense in a bottom-six role shouldn't intrigue many fantasy managers.

Stenlund scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

Stenlund scored in Utah's third game of 2024-25 and went 22 appearances before getting his second tally in Saturday's victory. Stenlund does a little bit of everything but not enough of anything on Utah's fourth line to make him worthy of fantasy attention.
