Evans had an assist, two shots on net and two hits in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Boston.

Evans picked up the primary helper on Emil Heineman's tally early in the third period, which ignited a late spark from Montreal. The assist gave Evans five points over the last seven games. He's returned to the fourth line but has earned the trust of the coaching staff and could easily shift back to a middle-six role, as head coach Martin St. Louis is known to tweak the lines.

Zacha had an assist, two shots on net and one hit in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Good things can happen when one skates on a line with David Pastrnak. Zacha found him uncovered in front of the Canadiens' net, and Boston's goal leader beat Sam Montembeault to the stick side. The assist was Zacha's fourth point (two goals, two assists) in the last three games and upped his season scoring to 11 points through 26 outings.

Geekie had an assist, three shots on net, one blocked shot and three hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Geekie and Pavel Zacha battled behind the Montreal net after Sam Montembeault made a couple of stops. Their forechecking work got the puck to David Pastrnak, who potted the Bruins' second goal. It was Geekie's second point in the last three games, a hopeful sign that he can return to his 2023-24 form (39 points, 76 games). The forward has is up to six points through 21 outings this season.

Frederic had an assist, two shots on net, one blocked shot and four hits in Sunday's 6-3 win over Montreal.

Frederic picked up his second assist in as many games on the Bruins' first goal, a nasty wraparound from Charlie McAvoy. Frederic, who had 18 goals and 40 points over 82 outings last season, has just three goals and eight points through 26 appearances in 2024-25.

Beecher recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Beecher snapped a 15-game point drought when he assisted on Cole Koepke's empty-netter. The 23-year-old Beecher had five points over his first five games this season, but he just two assists since. Overall, he's at seven points, 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 25 appearances. While he'll likely surpass his 10-point campaign from 2023-24, it doesn't appear his offense will be consistent enough for fantasy managers to roster him.

Larkin recorded a pair of assists Sunday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Vancouver.

Larkin registered the primary helper on Alex DeBrincat's 10th goal of the season, and he added a power-play assist on Michael Rasmussen's game-tying goal in the third period. It was Larkin's fourth multi-point effort of the campaign. The left-shot center has hovered around being a point-per-game player over the last three seasons, and through 24 games, Larkin has accounted for 12 goals, eight assists and a minus-5 rating.

Suter scored a goal on four shots in 19:29 of ice time Sunday in a 5-4 overtime win over Detroit.

Suter scored his ninth goal of the season at 17:47 of the second period to give Vancouver a 3-2 lead. It was Suter's third straight game with a goal, and he's riding a four-game point streak consisting of three goals and two assists. The 28-year-old is up to nine goals, five assists and a plus-2 rating through 22 games.

Amadio notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Amadio snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper on Nick Cousins' third-period tally. The 28-year-old Amadio opened the season in a slump of equal length, so he hasn't been the most reliable depth scorer in a bottom-six role. He's at two goals, three assists, 27 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances while averaging 14:00 of ice time.

Cousins scored a goal, added four PIM and recorded two hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Cousins returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, replacing Cole Reinhardt in the lineup. The tally ended a 10-game drought for Cousins, and it tied the game at 3-3 just 1:09 after Frank Vatrano put the Ducks ahead in the third period. The 31-year-old Cousins has been little more than a fourth-liner with limited upside this season, though he saw 14:08 of ice time in a third-line role Sunday. He's at two goals, five points, 30 shots on net, 32 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 22 outings, but he'll need to score more frequently to be in the conversation for fantasy.

Strome notched a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Senators.

Strome has earned three points over the last two games to bounce back from being held off the scoresheet in his previous four outings. The 31-year-old center looks to have some chemistry with Frank Vatrano and Troy Terry -- the trio was involved in all three of the Ducks' goals Sunday. Strome is up to 12 points, 46 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 23 appearances in a top-six role this season.
