Gaudreau notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Gaudreau had one assist wiped off the board after an offside review went against the Wild. He still kept his career-best point streak alive at five games when he set up a Jonas Brodin tally in the third period. Gaudreau has two goals, five assists, 19 shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 13 contests this season. All seven of his points have come during the streak as he continues to make an impact from the third line.

Rossi notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Rossi has a helper in four of the last five games, though he's added six shots on net and six PIM in that span. The 23-year-old helped out on a Mats Zuccarello tally in the second period. Rossi is up to 11 points (three goals, eight assists), all of which have come at even strength. He's added 19 shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances while seeing steady top-line usage.

Danault registered an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Danault helped out on a Vladislav Gavrikov goal in the third period. The helper extended Danault's point streak to four games (one goal, four assists). He's already produced a better month on offense in November than he did in October. The two-way center is up to eight points, 27 shots on net, 18 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 15 appearances. The 31-year-old is firmly in a second-line role, so he should have steady offense, though there are other options at center in fantasy with more scoring upside.

Byfield scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Byfield opened the scoring just 1:43 into the game. He's starting to pick up the pace -- his two goals this season have come over the last two contests, and he has five points across his last seven outings. The 22-year-old forward is up to eight points, 33 shots on net, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 appearances. He's not performing at the level that led to a 20-goal, 55-point regular season in 2023-24, but he's also shooting just 6.1 percent, so there's plenty of room for improvement over time.

Miller scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

The goal was Miller's first since Oct. 26 -- he had three assists over the four games in between tallies. The 31-year-old center is up to five goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits, nine PIM and a plus-4 rating over 12 appearances. He remains one of the Canucks' most important forwards in all situations, and that's even more clear with Elias Pettersson off to a rough start in 2024-25. Miller should be active in fantasy lineups virtually every time the Canucks play.

Dvorak had an assist, two shots and one block in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

Dvorak picked up the secondary helper on Montreal's second goal. It was the third point in four games for the 28-year-old center, who's settled in quickly to the third line between Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher. Dvorak opened the season as the fourth-line center until being promoted earlier this week.

MacLean produced an assist in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

MacLean has held down the fourth-line center job this season, but this was his first point in 14 games. He doesn't appear at risk of being scratched -- the Islanders have mostly rotated bottom-six wingers in and out of the lineup. MacLean has added nine shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-6 rating, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Pageau scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Pageau has three goals over four contests in November, which corresponds to when he replaced Mathew Barzal (upper body) on the top line. Pageau's 17:12 of ice time Thursday was his lowest total in a game since his promotion. The 31-year-old has four goals, two assists, 29 shots on net, 30 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 contests. He's worth a look in fantasy for points, shots and hits as long as he's in the top six, which could be a while since both Barzal and Anthony Duclair (leg) are on long-term injured reserve with absences expected to last into December.

Scheifele notched an assist in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.

Scheifele capitalized on a turnover at the Jets' blue line and sent a pass to Gabriel Vilardi for the game's only goal just 1:06 into the contest. The helper gave Scheifele a six-game point streak (two tallies, six assists). The 31-year-old center continues to excel in a first-line role with seven goals, 11 assists, 34 shots on net, 12 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances.

Vilardi scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Avalanche.

Mark Scheifele forced a turnover at the Jets' blue line and then fed Vilardi for the goal on a 2-on-1. The tally at 1:06 of the first period was the lone one in the game, and it was Vilardi's second game-winner this season. The 25-year-old has five goals and three assists over his last six contests, giving him 12 points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances. He'll have solid fantasy value as a scoring-only option as long as he's able to play on the top line.
