Henrique scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

The goal was Henrique's second of the campaign, with his other coming back on Oct. 15 versus the Flyers. The 34-year-old center has two points over his last four contests, but his third-line role hasn't been conducive to generating consistent offense. He's at three points, 28 shots, 16 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 18 outings this season.

Schenn scored the game-winning goal, added five shots on net, levied two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Schenn tallied 2:53 into the extra session to secure the win for the Blues. He scored in both of the team's games against Boston this season. The center has four points over his last three outings, and he's up to three goals, six helpers, 46 shots on net, 36 hits, 19 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances. He continues to fill a top-six role while Robert Thomas (ankle) is out.

Heinen notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Heinen has four points over his last six outings. The 29-year-old forward is on the fourth line now, though he's moved around the lineup a fair amount early in the season. He's produced eight points, 15 shots on net, 20 hits, six PIM and a plus-4 rating over 16 contests. Heinen brings some physicality, but his role is a shaky one for offense, so fantasy managers may want to look for depth scoring elsewhere.

Suter logged an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Suter has mostly been a scorer this season, but he set up J.T. Miller for an empty-netter in this contest. The 28-year-old Suter has three points over his last four games and continues to fill a top-six role. The forward is up to six goals, two helpers, 27 shots on net, 11 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 outings. As long as he's seeing premium minutes at even strength, Suter will be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats that focus on scoring.

Blueger scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Blueger scored for the first time in nearly a month -- his previous goal was Oct. 17 versus the Panthers. While he hasn't been finishing very well, the Latvian forward has earned three helpers over his last six outings. For the season, he's at three goals, six assists, 19 shots on net, 25 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 16 appearances. Blueger continues to offer steady depth scoring from the third line, and he's on pace to top the 30-point mark for the first time in his career if he can stay healthy.

Pettersson scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

In the second period, Pettersson took a shot that deflected in off Connor Murphy's skate to tie the game at 1-1. After getting few bounces to go his way in October, Pettersson's luck looks to be turning around, partly thanks to an increased shot volume in November. The veteran center has five tallies, 10 points (four on the power play), 36 shots on net, 26 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 16 appearances in his usual top-six role with time in all situations.

Miller scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added a power-play assist and logged four hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Miller has found the scoresheet in five of the last six games, earning two goals and five assists in that span. Three of his helpers have come on the power play during that hot stretch. The 31-year-old is up to six tallies, 10 assists, 35 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances in a top-six role.

Cirelli scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 4-0 win over New Jersey.

He was awarded the empty-net goal when Luke Hughes threw his stick at Cirelli during a breakaway. The Lightning pivot has risen to the opportunity to play on the top line this season due to the absence of Brayden Point (lower body). Cirelli has put up four goals and 16 points through 16 appearances. He also has a 52.6 faceoff winning percentage, elevating his fantasy value in a highly competitive and deep center pool.

Larkin scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Larkin's tally with 1:27 left in the third period denied David Rittich a shutout, but that was about it. The 28-year-old Larkin reached the 10-goal mark for the season with this tally, and he has scored five of them while adding two assists over seven contests in November. The center has 13 points, 44 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 17 outings in a top-line role.

Helenius posted an assist, three hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Helenius has two helpers over his first four NHL outings. The 21-year-old hasn't hesitated to show toughness either, racking up 12 hits, seven PIM and four blocked shots while filling a fourth-line role. Helenius was called up to cover for Tanner Jeannot's three-game suspension, but Jeannot was back Saturday, so it's unclear if Helenius will stick around the NHL much longer. He's done enough to get a longer look.
