Kerfoot scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Kerfoot has scored in back-to-back games, giving him two goals and four points this season. His tally in the third period Saturday salvaged a standings point for Utah in a game that Vegas mostly dominated everywhere but the scoresheet. In addition to four points, the 30-year-old forward has added 20 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 12 outings in a middle-six role.

Cooley scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Cooley opened the scoring at 11:52 of the first period and set up an Ian Cole tally in the second. Over the last three games, Cooley has filled a top-line role, earning three points and a plus-3 rating in that span. The center is up to two goals, eight assists, 23 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 outings overall. Cooley will have more upside as long as he's playing alongside Clayton Keller, but he should be good for Utah anywhere in the top six.

Roy posted an assist and six shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Roy has five points over his last five games. The 27-year-old set up a Noah Hanifin tally at the buzzer in the second period. Through 12 contests overall, Roy has three goals, five assists, 19 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-1 rating. He continues to play in all situations, which gives him significantly more fantasy value than most fourth-line centers.

Hertl notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Hertl set up Pavel Dorofeyev's tally in the second period. The assist was the 500th point of Hertl's career, a milestone he achieved in his 730th regular-season appearance. The 30-year-old center has mostly looked good to begin his first full year with the Golden Knights, picking up four goals, eight assists, 19 shots on net, 20 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 outings. He continues to play on the second line and first power-play unit.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Dorofeyev finished off a pass from Tomas Hertl at 15:06 of the second period to get the Golden Knights on the board. Over the last six games, Dorofeyev has contributed five goals and three assists. He's thriving on the second line with seven tallies, 10 points, 35 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 12 appearances. The 24-year-old winger looks poised to take a step forward in his first full campaign, and given the strength of Vegas' top six, he's worth a look as an offense-only option in fantasy.

Karlsson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Karlsson put the Golden Knights ahead in the third period while extending his point streak to four games. He has two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in that span, which is all of his action this season after opening the year on injured reserve. The center remains on the third line, but he's performing bigger than that role would suggest. Karlsson is a fairly safe depth forward for fantasy.

Howden scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Howden helped on a Pavel Dorofeyev goal in the second period to get Vegas on the board. At the 2:15 mark of overtime, Howden buried a pass from Noah Hanifin to earn the victory. Howden has two multi-point efforts this campaign, and he's looking like a good fit on the second line. He is up to six goals, one assist, 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 contests. The 26-year-old won't be a leader on offense, but he's emerging as a reliable secondary scorer with a physical edge, and that's worth a look in fantasy.

Kunin notched an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Kunin has collected an assist in three straight games. The 26-year-old forward continues to offer gritty production and some secondary scoring from a middle-six role. He's up to five points, 19 shots on net, 30 hits, 20 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances. That's enough overall to be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats that play a lot of categories.

Sturm scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Sturm buried a rebound to open the scoring at 2:37 of the second period. The 29-year-old forward has earned three points over his last five games, a strong run of productivity for a player confined to a fourth-line role. He's up to two goals, two assists, eight shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 13 contests.

Granlund scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Granlund had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests following a seven-game point streak. He scored to tie the game at 2-2 with 1:17 left in the third period, but Pius Suter answered less than a minute later to give the Canucks the win in regulation. Granlund continues to stand out among the Sharks' forwards, earning six goals, eight assists, 44 shots on net, 13 hits, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating over 13 appearances this season.
