Glendening has been held off the scoresheet through the first 16 games of the season.

Glendening has been a fixture in the lineup for the Lightning, averaging 10:45 per game in a fourth-line role. The 35-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 30 hits and a minus-4 rating. He hasn't reached the 20-point mark since 2018-19, but this slow start on offense is rough even by his standards. Glendening produced 11 points over 81 regular-season contests last year.

Paul scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Paul has four points over six games in November. The 29-year-old forward is up to five goals, eight helpers, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating through 16 appearances this season. That's a pace that would put him over the 50-point mark for the first time in his career. Paul is handling a second-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit and looks like a good fit there and as a depth forward in fantasy.

Guentzel logged two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Guentzel logged his second straight multi-point effort and his sixth such performance this season. One of his helpers came on the power play. Guentzel continues to excel in a top-six role in his first year with the Lightning, earning seven goals, 10 assists, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 16 appearances. He often hovers right around a point-per-game pace, so this production is sustainable.

Condotta scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Condotta's third-period tally gave the Canadiens a little breathing room, stretching their lead to 3-1. It was his first point in five games this season, to go with three shots on net, six hits and three blocked shots. Condotta is competing with Michael Pezzetta for the last spot on the fourth line. It's a battle the former is currently winning, but it won't lead to much production for fantasy purposes.

Evans scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Evans had been limited to two assists and three shots on net over his previous eight games. The 28-year-old provided an insurance tally in the third period as the Canadiens ran away with the win. Evans is up to three goals, eight points, 18 shots on net, 23 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 18 outings this season. He's currently in a second-line role, but that could change if Kirby Dach is moved out of a first-line wing spot.

Suzuki scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Suzuki's goal at 15:49 of the second period gave the Canadiens the lead for good in this contest. The center opened November with no points over four games, but he has three goals and two assists over his last three outings. For the season, he's at seven goals, 11 assists, 39 shots on net, 20 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 18 games. Suzuki is among the most reliable players in Montreal's lineup, offering decent category coverage and strong offense.

Nelson scored a shorthanded goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

Nelson gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead in the third period, but it lasted just 37 seconds. The veteran center has three goals and an assist over his last seven contests. For the season, he's produced seven tallies, three helpers, 56 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Nelson has some value as a depth scorer in fantasy while seeing consistent second-line minutes.

McCann scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

McCann has scored four times and added three assists during his five-game point streak. He provided a quick response to a go-ahead goal from Brock Nelson in the third period. McCann is up to nine tallies, 12 assists, 42 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 18 appearances on Seattle's top line this season.

Goncalves was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Tampa Bay's next game is Tuesday in Pittsburgh, so there's a chance Goncalves will rejoin the NHL squad if Brayden Point (lower body) can't suit up. The 23-year-old Goncalves has played four games with the Lightning this year, averaging 11:44 of ice time without recording a point.

Tynan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Sunday.

Tynan was sent down Thursday but he'll rejoin the Avs ahead of their next game Monday in Philadelphia. The 32-year-old forward has logged one assist in seven games with Colorado this season.
