Miller notched two assists, including one on the power play, and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Miller made an impact in the second period, setting up goals by Elias Pettersson and Pius Suter as the Canucks erased an early deficit. This was Miller's first multi-point effort since Oct. 28. The 31-year-old center is up to five goals, eight assists, four power-play points, 30 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-2 rating through 14 outings this season. He plays key minutes in all situations and should continue to maintain a high level on offense.

Suter scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Suter has scored in back-to-back games and has four tallies over five contests in November. The 28-year-old forward's goal Tuesday was the game-winner. He's seeing top-line minutes alongside J.T. Miller, which gives Suter decent fantasy value as long as he lasts in that spot. Suter has six goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating across 13 appearances.

Pettersson scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, blocked four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Pettersson turned 26 on Tuesday, and he celebrated with his second multi-point effort in a row. His goal was a power-play tally to tie the game at 1-1 in the second period, and he also set up Erik Brannstrom's goal in the third. Pettersson is up to four goals, five assists, three power-play points, 27 shots on net, 22 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 outings. He's still working his way back to an elite level of scoring, but he's starting to reward fantasy managers who were patient with him.

Aston-Reese scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, logged six hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Aston-Reese picked up his first points in three games since he was a healthy scratch last Tuesday versus the Sharks. The 30-year-old forward continues to play on the fourth line, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to frequently repeat his effort from this game. He has three goals, three assists, 20 shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 14 contests.

Kuraly scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added four hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

The 31-year-old snapped a four-game dry spell with this performance. Kuraly opened the scoring at 13:46 of the first period and set up Zach Aston-Reese just 22 seconds later. This was the first multi-point effort of the season for Kuraly, who continues to see steady ice time in a fourth-line role. He's at five points, 12 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 contests.

McCann scored an empty-net goal on six shots and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

McCann has three goals and five points over his last three outings, a nice turnaround from the three-game slump that came before. The 28-year-old helped out on Eeli Tolvanen's go-ahead goal in the second period before finishing the scoring himself with the empty-netter. McCann is up to eight goals, 19 points, 39 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Nelson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Nelson has three points over his last five games. The 33-year-old center is still in a second-line role, playing alongside Maxim Tsyplakov and Kyle Palmieri as a solid secondary scoring trio. Through 16 contests, Nelson has nine points, 50 shots on net and a plus-3 rating, though he's yet to pick up a power-play point and adds little in the way of physicality.

Pageau notched a pair of assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Pageau is up to five points over six contests in November after assisting on both of Anders Lee's goals in the third period. The 32-year-old Pageau has benefited from a top-line role since Mathew Barzal (upper body) landed on long-term injured reserve. Through 16 outings overall, Pageau has eight points, 31 shots on net, 36 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

Palmieri scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Palmieri continues to excel in November, racking up three goals and four assists over six contests this month. He got the Islanders on the board in the second period and helped out on an Anders Lee tally to tie the game late in the third. Palmieri is up to seven tallies, seven helpers, 42 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating across 16 games this season while filling a second-line role.

Nugent-Hopkins notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

Nugent-Hopkins has a helper in each of the last two games, but he's now gone eight contests without a goal while picking up just three assists in that span. The 31-year-old is up to seven points, including three on the power play, through 16 outings. The Oilers' slow start with the man advantage has impacted Nugent-Hopkins heavily, but he's still playing in a prominent role, so he should be able to improve his numbers over time.
