Cozens scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Cozens' first-period tally put the Sabres ahead 2-1, but they couldn't solve Connor Hellebuyck a third time. With three goals and two assists over his last six outings, Cozens has found his way on offense in a second-line role. The 23-year-old center is at 12 points, 72 shots on net, 51 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 26 appearances.

Lowry scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Sabres.

Lowry had four shots on net, doled out two hits, blocked two shots and went 15-for-21 at the faceoff dot in a well-rounded effort. His biggest contribution came at 3:59 of overtime when he scored the decisive goal, his fourth tally over the last seven games. The center is up to seven goals, 10 helpers, 38 shots on net, 50 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 27 contests this season. Lowry's locked in on the third line, but he often plays larger minutes whenever the Jets need to rely on his shutdown skills.

Wennberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning.

Wennberg was one of four Sharks to avoid finishing the game with a negative plus-minus rating. His tally 14 seconds into the third period broke up Andrei Vasilevskiy's shutout bid, though it was far too late to change the result. Wennberg has four goals and four assists over his last 10 outings, a remarkable run of offense for a middle-six center on a weak team. He's up to seven goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 29 appearances.

Cirelli scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Cirelli's goal-scoring pace has slowed but not stopped -- he has nine tallies and two assists over his last 10 games. The 27-year-old potted the Lightning's sixth goal in this big win. The center is up to 11 goals, 24 points, 51 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 24 outings. He's looked good with added responsibilities this year, and he's on track to easily achieve career-high marks in most scoring categories.

Paul scored a goal on five shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Paul returned from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, and he logged 19:07 in the blowout win, which suggests he'll have no limitations moving forward. The 29-year-old has been effective for the Lightning in a middle-six role this season. He's at six goals, 14 points, 30 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances.

Zary notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Zary had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. He snapped the slump by setting up a Matthew Coronato tally in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. The 23-year-old Zary has dropped down the lineup over the last couple of games, centering the third line instead of the top line. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 54 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 27 outings. The Flames have rarely settled on line combinations for long, so Zary could get a larger role again in the near future.

Huberdeau posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Huberdeau has two goals and four assists over his last eight contests. While not elite offense, it's at least a bit of consistency again for the winger, who is still playing in a top-six role. The 31-year-old is up to 16 points (five on the power play), 44 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 20 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 27 appearances. There's not a lot of offense to go around in Calgary, so Huberdeau still has middling fantasy appeal.

Schenn produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Schenn has five points over his last five contests, and this helper was his first power-play point since Nov. 12 versus the Bruins. The 33-year-old is finding steady offense while playing in a second-line role. For the season, he's up to four goals, 10 helpers, 56 shots on net, 59 hits, 25 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 27 outings. Schenn's scoring upside is limited compared to previous years, but he's also shooting just 7.1 percent, so he could bounce back over the course of the campaign.

Holloway produced an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Holloway helped out on Colton Parayko's game-winning goal in overtime. The assist extended Holloway's point streak to five games (four goals, four helpers). The 23-year-old forward is making an impact with top-six minutes, and he's now at 16 points (three on the power play), 59 shots on net, 49 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 27 appearances this season. He's worth scouring the waiver wire for in all fantasy formats.

Bolduc scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Bolduc has been in and out of the power-play mix this season, and his tally came with 19 seconds left in the Blues' first man advantage Thursday. He has three goals over his last five contests, accounting for all of his tallies in 2024-25. He's added five helpers, 25 shots on net, 29 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 21 appearances while filling a bottom-six role.
