Coleman provided an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Coleman helped out on Yegor Sharangovich's empty-netter in the third period. With two points over his last three games, Coleman appears to be working out of his funk on offense. The 33-year-old forward is up to 11 points, 59 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 26 contests overall. Coleman continues to take on middle-six minutes, and he'll provide some heavy play in addition to depth scoring.

Huberdeau recorded a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Huberdeau has collected five points over his last seven outings. The winger helped out on a Kevin Bahl tally in the third period to give the Flames extra breathing room. Huberdeau is up to eight goals, seven helpers, five power-play points, 42 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 20 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 26 contests this season.

Kadri posted a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Kadri is getting warm with three goals and five helpers over his last nine contests. The 34-year-old struggled to find steady offense over the first month of the campaign, but he's on track now. Overall, the center has 16 points (six on the power play), 83 shots on net, 17 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 26 appearances in a top-six role.

Backlund notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Backlund set up Rasmus Andersson's power-play goal midway through the game and also fed Yegor Sharangovich for the empty-netter. This was Backlund's first multi-point effort since Nov. 11 versus the Kings -- over the nine games in between, he was limited to one assist. The veteran center is up to 12 points (three on the power play), 64 shots on net, a plus-6 rating, 17 hits and 11 blocked shots through 26 appearances in his usual top-six role.

Sharangovich scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Sharangovich has picked up four goals and two assists over his last seven outings. He put the icing on this low-event win. The 26-year-old is seeing top-six usage and time in all situations, and he looks to be over his slow start to the campaign. The forward has six goals, two helpers, 57 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances.

Celebrini picked up a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Capitals.

The assist pushed Celebrini's point streak to five games (four goals, four assists). He was named the NHL's First Star of the Week on Monday with four goals and three assists in his previous four games. Celebrini has 15 points, including eight goals, and 51 shots in just 16 outings in 2024-25, and it's sometimes easy to forget that he won't turn 19 until June. His flair with the puck has made Sharks' games must-watch hockey.

Scheifele scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Scheifele began the game on right wing, with Vladislav Namestnikov moving up to the top line. In the contest, Scheifele won six of 15 faceoffs -- over the last handful of games, he had seen a reduced role at the dot, though he's played through whatever issue has limited him. The 31-year-old snapped a six-game goal drought and now has 13 tallies, 27 points, 57 shots on net, 26 hits, 23 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 26 appearances. The Jets are still in a rough patch, but Scheifele figures to continue playing a prominent role as they look to get back to their early-season form.

Faksa recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Faksa has a goal and four helpers over his last nine contests. The 30-year-old set up Robert Thomas' empty-netter to seal this win. Faksa plays in a bottom-six role and typically won't have much consistency on offense -- his recent stretch of success is likely the exception rather than the rule. He's at seven points, 27 shots on net, 44 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 26 appearances this season. Considering he's reached the 20-point mark just twice in the last five campaigns, he's about 50-50 to do so in 2024-25, though he is currently on pace to achieve that level of production.

Schenn recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Schenn has a goal, three assists and 13 hits over his last four contests. The Blues shuffled their lines a bit Tuesday, with Schenn flanked by Dylan Holloway and Jordan Kyrou -- the trio combined for three goals and five points. Schenn has had an alright season so far with 13 points, 54 shots, 58 hits, 24 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 26 appearances while seeing steady top-six minutes. He has just one power-play point after logging double-digits in that category in nine of the last 10 campaigns, with the exception being the abbreviated 2020-21 season.

Holloway scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Holloway is thriving under new head coach Jim Montgomery, who moved him up to a top-six role Tuesday. The 23-year-old Holloway has four goals and three helpers over his last four contests to earn the extra minutes. Overall, the forward is up to eight goals, 15 points, 58 shots on net, 48 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 26 appearances, but he's trending up.
