Carrick notched an assist, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

Carrick got on the scoresheet for the first time since he scored Opening Night. The 32-year-old center has provided two points, nine shots, two hits, two blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-4 rating. He's a lock for the lineup in a fourth-line role, but it's not an assignment that's likely to lead to much offense.

Edstrom notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.

Edstrom earned his first assist in six appearances when he set up a Jonny Brodzinski goal in the first period. In addition to the helper, Edstrom has four shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-2 rating. He's been limited to an average of 7:50 of ice time while skating on the fourth line, but he likely won't have to do much to keep Matt Rempe in the press box.

Miller scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Chicago.

Miller produced a goal and an assist on the power play, and his second helper came at even strength. The 31-year-old had just one point in his previous four outings before facing the Blackhawks, but he's up to a point-per-game pace after Tuesday's three-point effort. The left-shot forward has compiled three goals, three assists, 14 shots, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating over six appearances.

Geekie logged an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Devils.

It took Geekie six games to earn his first career point, which was a primary helper on the second of Brandon Hagel's three goals in the second period. Geekie has added three shots on net, six hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating so far. The 20-year-old forward has held down a middle-six role, and while dynasty managers will want to hold onto him, he's yet to do enough to be a factor in redraft formats.

Point scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Devils.

Point has scored on the power play in back-to-back games. The star center is up to four tallies, two assists, 12 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through six appearances. With Jake Guentzel and Nikita Kucherov flanking him on the top line, Point is a consistent and reliable source of offense in fantasy.

Vrana posted an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Vrana has two points through four contests to begin 2024-25, which has been enough to keep him in the lineup as a bottom-six forward. The winger has added four shots on net and a plus-2 rating. Vrana's ice time is too limited to make him a reliable source of offense in fantasy, and it's unclear if he'll be able to play his way into a more prominent role.

Strome logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Strome now has three goals and five assists during his season-opening five-game point streak. The center helped out on John Carlson's tally Tuesday. Strome has added 11 shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating, but it'll be offense that gets him attention from fantasy managers.

Eichel notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Eichel had a five-game point streak snapped Saturday in Florida, but he got right back on the scoresheet Tuesday. The star center has been one of the best in the league early on, earning two goals and nine assists over seven outings. He's added 15 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while playing in a first-line role.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Dorofeyev stretched Vegas' lead to 3-0 in the first period and helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the third. This was Dorofeyev's first multi-point effort of the campaign, and the winger is up to three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, three hits and five blocked shots through seven contests. He's seeing second-line usage at even strength and has started to pick up power-play time, but he's not yet consistent enough on offense to be rostered in standard formats.

Hertl scored two goals on five shots, dished two assists, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.

Hertl picked up a goal and an assist as the Golden Knights converted on their only two power plays of the game in the first period. He also set up a Pavel Dorofeyev goal in that frame before scoring again in the third. It was a big breakout effort for Hertl, who had been limited to three points over the first six contests this season. He's now at three goals, four helpers, 13 shots on net, 14 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through seven appearances.
