Donato scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Donato provided an insurance tally in the third period, his fifth goal and seventh point in his last five games. That hot stretch earned him a chance to play alongside Connor Bedard on Sunday, though Donato still saw just 13:46 of ice time. The 28-year-old has seven goals, two helpers, 23 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-5 rating through 11 appearances this season. Donato can get hot over short stretches, but he'll probably be cycled off the Blackhawks' top line once his offense goes cold, so fantasy managers may want to consider him a streaming option only.

Teravainen scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Teravainen lost his top-line spot during Saturday's game versus the Kings. The message appears to have been received, as he responded with a tally Sunday to end a seven-game point drought. The 30-year-old winger played on the third line at even strength, and he may not get another top-line look until Ryan Donato cools off. Teravainen has four goals, eight points (six on the power play), 24 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 13 appearances this season.

Matthews produced a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.

Matthews has six points over his last five games, but his helper Sunday was his first power-play contribution in that span. The center is up to 11 points, 56 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 13 contests overall. Matthews hasn't quite found his finishing touch, but he's still putting well over four shots on net per game, so there's no reason to be worried about his scoring.

Gaudreau recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Gaudreau has five points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense this season. He looks to be fitting in better on the third line after beginning the year as a fourth-liner. Gaudreau has added 16 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 11 contests. His all-around production isn't enough to help in standard fantasy formats, but he's worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's racking up points.

Rossi logged an assist, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Rossi has a helper in three straight games and four of his last five outings. The 23-year-old hasn't been particularly flashy on offense this season, but he's been consistent enough to get on the scoresheet in nine of 11 contests. He's up to three goals, seven assists, 17 shots on net, seven hits, six PIM and a plus-6 rating. Playing on the top line gives Rossi serious breakout potential in his second full NHL campaign, and he's scoring enough to help in virtually all fantasy formats.

Edstrom scored a goal on two shots and logged two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Edstrom scored a bit of a fluky goal, as the puck popped up in the air and landed in the net with Ilya Sorokin failing to react to it. That goal stretched the Rangers' lead to 4-2. Edstrom has consistently filled a fourth-line role this season, and he rarely sees much more than 7-9 minutes of ice time per game. He has two points, eight shots on net, 19 hits, 17 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances.

Trocheck scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Trocheck hadn't scored in the previous six games, adding just two assists in that span. His tally early in the second period gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead. Trocheck is up to three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 34 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 11 contests. He remains a key part of the Rangers' offense as the second-line center and a member of the first power-play unit, though he often produces slightly below a point-per-game pace.

Lindholm notched an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Lindholm is starting to heat up -- he has a helper in each of the last three contests. The 29-year-old center saw a season-high 21:12 of ice time Sunday as the Bruins nursed a lead from the first period to the finish line. Lindholm hasn't been consistent on offense, but he has two goals, six helpers, 18 shots on net, 21 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 13 contests overall while playing in all situations.

Coyle scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Coyle has had a quiet start to 2024-25 -- this was just his second tally and point of the campaign. He went seven games without finding the scoresheet prior to Sunday, posting eight shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating in that span. The center has a total of 18 shots, 24 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 13 appearances. He's hardly the only Bruin to struggle so far, which has allowed him to maintain a top-six role.

Zibanejad contributed three assists in a 5-2 win over the Islanders on Sunday.

Zibanejad earned one point while shorthanded, one on the power play and another at even strength in Sunday's victory. Before erupting offensively against the Islanders, he had one helper in his previous four outings. Zibanejad has notched two goals and 10 points through 11 appearances this season.
