Seguin produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

The 32-year-old opened the scoring just 18 seconds into the game after Mason Marchment's attempted between-the-legs shot slipped off his stick and turned into an unintentional pass. Seguin has gotten onto the scoresheet in six of the last seven games, and through 16 appearances this season, he's racked up an impressive eight goals and 18 points as he turns back the clock. He has scored more than 20 goals in each of the last three seasons, but Seguin hasn't come close to a point-a-game pace since 2018-19.

Frost delivered a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

The 25-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period by tipping home a Rasmus Ristolainen shot, then set up Matvei Michkov for the Flyers' final tally in the second frame. It was Frost's first multi-point performance since Oct. 15, and through 18 appearances on the season he's managed just two goals and eight points.

Eichel scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers.

With the Golden Knights staring at a 3-0 deficit early in the second period, Eichel took matters into his own hands, snapping a shot past Ivan Fedotov from the slot to get Vegas on the board, and then setting up Ivan Barbashev for a tally less than four minutes later. Eichel finished the job by beating Fedotov glove side for the only successful attempt by either squad in the shootout. Eichel has found the back of the net in three straight games, continuing a dazzling November that has seen the 28-year-old deliver five goals and 18 points in 11 contests.

Hischier scored three goals, one the game-winner on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Predators.

The 25-year-old center's first career hat trick was a natural one, as Hischier broke open a 1-1 tie with three straight goals in the second period. The tallies were his first in November, snapping a 10-game goal drought, and on the season Hischier has produced 13 goals and 24 points in 24 contests.

Kopitar scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks.

The tally ended Kopitar's eight-game goal drought. This was his fourth multi-point effort in his last seven outings -- he's been productive even when his own shots have stayed out. The veteran center is up to six goals, 19 assists, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 22 appearances this season. Fantasy managers should always have room for point-per-game players, and Kopitar's long history of success makes him a fairly safe option.

Smith recorded a pair of assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

Smith snapped a three-game slump with the pair of helpers on consecutive tallies early in the third period. The 19-year-old remained on the wing Monday -- while center Mikael Granlund (upper body) exited the lineup, the Sharks also welcomed back another pivot in Nico Sturm. Smith is up to six points, 24 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 19 contests. He has sat out one game in all four of the Sharks' back-to-back sets so far, so fantasy managers should expect him to sit out either Friday or Saturday during a home-and-home against the Kraken.

Sturm scored a goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

Sturm missed five contests due to an upper-body injury and logged 10:54 of ice time in his return. His tally came 1:47 into the game to give the Sharks a quick 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old forward has played in a bottom-six role throughout the season, and given the relative weakness of San Jose's offense, that's not an enticing role for fantasy. Sturm has made the best of it with four goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-2 rating over 19 appearances, but that's not production that will get him onto many virtual rosters.

Kunin scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

Kunin has scored three times on seven shots over his last five contests, and he's added 18 hits in that span. The 26-year-old saw 18:19 of ice time Monday, his second-highest mark of the season, as the Sharks had to dig deep to cover the absence of Mikael Granlund (upper body). Kunin is up to five goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 59 hits, 36 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 24 outings in a middle-six role.

Wennberg scored a power-play goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

Wennberg has three goals and three assists over his last five games, and three of the six points in that span have come on the power play. The 30-year-old center played a season-high 22:28 in this contest, picking up a lot of the slack created by the absence of Mikael Granlund (upper body). Wennberg can add depth offense but is more of a two-way center. He's at 13 points (six on the power play), 30 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances, and he'll likely be in the top six as long as Granlund is out.

Celebrini scored twice on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.

This was Celebrini's fourth multi-point effort in just 12 contests as he continues to live up to the No. 1 overall hype. His pair of tallies came in the third period, with the first being the game-winner and the second adding insurance on a power play. The 18-year-old is up to six goals, four assists, 41 shots on net and a minus-5 rating while seeing steady top-six minutes when healthy. Celebrini has yet to assemble a point streak, but he's been dynamic when his game is on.
