Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Suter has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old moved to center after primarily playing as a winger early in the season -- he's now covering for J.T. Miller (personal) while playing up the middle. Suter has been moderately useful in fantasy with nine points, 31 shots on net, 13 hits and an even plus-minus rating, though his offense could ultimately dip in Miller's absence.

Pettersson notched two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Pettersson helped out on first-period tallies by Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. This was Pettersson's third multi-point effort in his last six games, a span in which he's collected four goals and four assists. The center is up to six goals, seven helpers, 39 shots on net, 27 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He'll be the centerpiece of the Canucks' offense for as long as J.T. Miller (personal) is away from the team.

Brodzinski registered an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Brodzinski has played the last two contests, filling in for Filip Chytil (upper body), after a five-game stint in the press box. The 31-year-old Brodzinski is unlikely to see anything more than bottom-six minutes -- he's played on the third line in the last two games as head coach Peter Laviolette has elected to keep his fourth line intact. Brodzinski has three points, 10 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over nine appearances, and he could be a healthy scratch again once Chytil gets the all-clear to return to the lineup.

Zibanejad scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.

Zibanejad tipped in a K'Andre Miller shot in the first period and then helped out on Chris Kreider's game-winner in the third. This was Zibanejad's second multi-point effort of November and his fourth such game of the campaign. The center has four goals, 10 helpers, 33 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances, and he's yet to get on the scoresheet in more than two consecutive contests.

Hyman (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of a 5-2 win over Ottawa.

An awkward hit near the blue line caused Hyman to wince and move somewhat gingerly. It was almost as though he torqued something in his torso. We'll find out Wednesday or the next day. Vasily Podkolzin had already replaced Hyman on the top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and that will continue if Hyman can't go.

Pospisil notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.

Pospisil endured a rough month, going 15 games without a point before getting on the scoresheet Tuesday. The 25-year-old has bounced around the lineup but often settles into a middle-six role. He's at six points -- five of which he earned over the first three contests of 2024-25 -- while adding 27 shots on net, 54 hits, 21 PIM an a plus-1 rating through 19 contests.

Kadri notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.

Kadri has a helper in consecutive games and four points over his last seven outings. This was his first power-play point since Oct. 12 versus the Flyers. The veteran center now has five goals, five assists, three power-play points, 60 shots on net, 12 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 19 appearances. Kadri continues to see top-six minutes, but he's lagging behind the scoring pace that saw him earn 75 points in 82 outings in 2023-24.

Teravainen logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Teravainen snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 30-year-old winger opened the season with seven points over five contests, but he hasn't had a look on the top line in a while, and that has cost him significantly on offense. He's now at four goals, five assists, 36 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 19 appearances. Teravainen has earned six of his nine points on the power play, and his continued role on the top unit has salvaged a bit of his fantasy value.

Bedard notched two assists, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Bedard ended a three-game point drought by setting up both of Jason Dickinson's tallies in the contest. It's been 10 contests since Bedard scored a goal, but he has managed a decent six assists in that span. For fantasy purposes, Bedard played at left wing Tuesday to accommodate Dickinson, a natural center, on the top line. If that lasts long enough, Bedard could gain some positional flexibility. The 19-year-old has three goals, 12 assists, 55 shots on net, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 19 appearances this season.

Draisaitl had a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win against Ottawa on Tuesday.

Draisaitl is second all-time in career points/game (min. 25 games) against the Sens with 1.48. Teammate Connor McDavid sits on top of that list with 1.80. Draisaitl has five outings and six assists in his last six games and 27, including 14 goals, in 20 appearances this season. It was the 43rd time that McDavid and Draisaitl each had at least three points in a game. That's the most among active duos in the NHL. Overall, he is one goal from the top of the sniper list in the NHL, and with Alex Ovechkin week-to-week with a lower leg injury, Draisaitl looks to climb to the top of that chart in short order.
