Drury notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Drury continues to hold down a second-line assignment, which has yielded three points for him over the last five games. The 24-year-old may have to adjust to the role, as he had been on the fourth line for most of the first six weeks of the campaign. He's done a decent job as a depth scorer with nine points, 41 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-7 rating over 26 appearances.

Roslovic scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Roslovic stretched the Hurricanes' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The 27-year-old forward scored in three straight games from Nov. 20-23, but he was limited to two helpers over the five contests following that heater. The winger is up to 13 tallies, three helpers, 58 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 26 appearances. He likely can't sustain a 22.4 shooting percentage, though he should at least be able to maintain middle-six minutes if he loses his top-line spot at some point.

Jarvis scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Jarvis had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 22-year-old has four goals and two helpers over six contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. Overall, he's been strong this season, racking up 17 points (10 on the power play), 55 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-6 rating through 19 appearances in a middle-six role.

Evans recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Evans is finding ways to remain productive in fantasy, and even though this was only his third outing with two or more points, he's been trending in the right direction of late. The 28-year-old playmaker has cracked the scoresheet in five of the Canadiens' last nine contests, recording three goals and four assists in that span. He's also notched nine shots, 17 hits and seven blocked shots in that nine-game stretch.

Norris recorded two goals, a plus-2 rating, two PIM, five shots, two hits and one blocked shot in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Norris played a hero role for the Senators in this low-scoring affair, finding twine midway through the first period and scoring the game-winner with only 43 seconds left in the final frame. The 25-year-old playmaker has struggled with consistency of late, but he remains a productive player while anchoring Ottawa's first line. He's notched five goals and two assists across his last 10 appearances.

Necas scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Avalanche.

The breakout star snapped a shot through heavy traffic in front of Scott Wedgewood to give the Hurricanes a 4-2 lead late in the third period. Necas has produced six multi-point performances over the last 10 games, and the 25-year-old already has five game-winners on the season -- one short of his career high -- among his 14 goals. He also finds himself atop the NHL leaderboard with 41 points across 26 games.

Rodrigues collected a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Flyers.

The 31-year-old forward opened the scoring early in the first period, then helped set up Gustav Forsling in the third to knot the score at 5-5. Rodrigues hadn't produced multiple points in a game since Nov. 9, and his third-line role and lack of consistent power-play time limit his fantasy ceiling, even on a Panthers squad that leads the NHL with 103 goals scored. Through 27 contests, he's delivered seven goals and 15 points.

Verhaeghe scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Flyers.

The streaky 29-year-old is on the upswing. Verhaeghe has found the back of the net in four of the last seven games, racking up four goals and nine points over that stretch, and on the season, he's up to eight goals and 22 points across 27 contests. Almost half of that production -- three tallies and 10 points -- has come on the power play, but the downside of that success with the man advantage is that Verhaeghe is saddled with a minus-16 rating, an uncharacteristic display for a player who hasn't finished below plus-10 since joining the Panthers in 2020-21.

Barkov produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Flyers.

Both points came in the second period in the wild contest that saw the Panthers blow an early 3-0 lead before rallying in the third period after falling behind 5-4. Barkov has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, and on the season, the 29-year-old center has piled up seven goals and 27 points through 19 appearances.

Reinhart scored the game-winning goal Thursday on the power play and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in a 7-5 victory over the Flyers.

It was Reinhart's first multi-point performance since Nov. 16, and the game-winning goal was his first of the season. The 29-year-old winger has hardly been quiet though -- he hasn't gone more than two straight games this season without finding the back of the net, and his longest streak of games without a point is still just one. Reinhart's 19 tallies ties him with Leon Draisaitl for the NHL lead, and after erupting for a career-high 57 goals in 2023-24, he hasn't shown even a hint of regression, with his 26.4 percent shooting rate through 27 contests actually topping his 24.5 percent mark from last season.
