Kadri scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Kadri is bouncing back from a cold stretch with a point in each of his last two outings after a four-game slump. The center's tally midway through the third period Thursday salvaged a standings point as the Flames kept the game tied before falling in overtime. Kadri is up to eight points, 42 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 14 appearances as a top-six center.

Kyrou scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Utah.

Kyrou buried a one-timer after receiving a pass from Pavel Buchnevich at 13:29 of the final frame to tie the score at two apiece. Kyrou has tallied in three straight games after not scoring in his previous 10 contests. The right-shot forward is shouldering the load on offense for the Blues -- he leads the team in scoring with 12 points through 14 games. Overall, Kyrou is up to five goals, seven assists, four PIM, 43 shots, seven blocks, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating while skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Cozens scored a goal and took four shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Cozens has found the back of the net in two of his last four contests. Those have been his only two goals in the campaign, and while the 23-year-old has been playing better in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, he's not producing enough -- or with any kind of consistency -- to be trusted as a reliable fantasy option across all formats.

McBain scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.

McBain tallied an empty-net goal to seal the win for Utah at 19:56 of the third period. The 24-year-old has picked up points in three of his last four outings after being held off the scoresheet in the previous five. Given his fourth-line role, McBain has been productive through 14 games -- he's chipped in three goals, three assists and a plus-2 rating. The left-shot forward's three goals have come on 10 shots this season, so his shooting percentage will more than likely decrease as the campaign rolls along.

Coach Travis Green said Friday that Pinto (undisclosed) could play Saturday in Boston, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Pinto has sat out the last seven games after he was injured Oct. 22 in Utah. The 23-year-old pivot has a goal and two assists in six games this season. Look for Zack Ostapchuk to come out of the lineup if Pinto returns.

Thompson scored a goal in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Thompson scored for the second consecutive game, and the 27-year-old playmaker continues to enjoy an excellent start to the campaign with at least one point in all but three of his appearances. Thompson was coming off a relatively down year in 2023-24, where he posted 29 goals and 56 points across 71 regular-season contests, but he seems to be on a good pace to surpass that tally in 2024-25 with 16 points across his first 14 contests.

Parssinen scored a goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

Parssinen has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and he's recorded points in three of his six appearances this season. The 23-year-old has shown some interesting things, and if he's able to remain in the power-play unit and as a middle-six forward, he could continue finding ways to produce.

Stamkos scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

Stamkos endured a rough start to the season with just one goal in his first eight games, but he's turning things around of late. Aside from cracking the scoresheet in four of his last six appearances, the 34-year-old has found the back of the net three times over his last four. He's still producing at a subpar rate for someone of his stature, though, notching just seven points in 14 contests.

Reinhart recorded an even-strength goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Reinhart has scored in five games in a row and his point streak has reached six games, extending his impressive start to the season. The 29-year-old winger has been so productive in 2024-25 that he already has recorded two streaks of at least five consecutive games with a point. In addition to having cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his 14 games, a span in which he's recorded seven multi-point efforts, his 22 points have him as one of the most productive players in the league over the first month of the regular season.

Rodrigues scored a goal while adding two shots, two hits and a blocked shot in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Rodrigues has found the back of the net in three straight games, and the left winger is up to four points across that span -- which is more than his combined total in his previous 11 appearances. He's reaping the benefits of the Panthers' impressive winning run, but Rodrigues isn't expected to be a major fantasy contributor in most formats on a steady basis going forward.
