Hischier recorded two goals and one assist in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Hischier bounced back after going pointless in the 3-1 win over the Senators on Thursday with his first multi-point effort -- and his first two-goal outing -- of the season. The center is up to eight points across eight appearances in 2024-25, and he shouldn't have problems hitting the 60-point plateau for the fourth consecutive season as long as he stays healthy.

McMichael recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

McMichael found the back of the net for the first time this season, but an area in which he's been standing out is the playmaking department, with three assists across his first four contests. McMichael recorded a career-high 33 points in 80 regular-season appearances for the Capitals in 2023-24. While the season is still in its early stages, he could be in line to surpass those numbers if he stays healthy, as he's featuring regularly in a top-six role.

Strome notched one goal and two assists in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

This was Strome's second multi-point game of the season and his first with more than one helper, as he set up an Alex Ovechkin goal in the first period as well as Tom Wilson's game-winner in overtime. Strome also found the back of the net midway through the second period, giving him goals in three of his four outings to date. The hot-starting center has registered at least one point in every game en route to seven points in four appearances.

Lundell collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

The 23-year-old center continues to take advantage of the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Lundell has erupted for four goals and seven points over the last four games while skating in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, an assignment he seems likely to retain at least until the end of the month.

Bennett scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. He also recorded five shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating.

The 28-year-old banged home his fourth goal of the season early in the second period, then helped set up Gustav Forsling for the winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. Bennett has had a strong start to the season for a Panthers squad currently missing Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), piling up seven points in the first seven games.

Reinhart scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

After potting his fifth goal of the season early in the second period, Reinhart helped set up Eetu Luostarinen's tying tally midway through the third and Gustav Forsling's winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. With Matthew Tkachuk (illness), Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and others sidelined, Reinhart has stepped up in a big way for Florida, compiling four goals and 10 points over the course of a five-game point streak.

Roy notched two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.

He helped set up Tanner Pearson in the first period and Keegan Kolesar in the second, with both tallies being the first of the season for his teammates. Roy produced a career-high 41 points (13 goals, 28 assists) over 70 regular-season games in 2023-24, and he's off to a solid start to the current campaign with a goal and three points in six contests.

Stankoven picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

The 21-year-old helped set up tallies by Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson in the third period. Stankoven has been impressive to begin his first full NHL season, and while he's still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, he's already piled up seven assists in six games.

Duchene scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the game-winner, in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers.

The veteran center opened the scoring with only 26 seconds left in the second period, ripping a puck past Stuart Skinner from the top of the slot. Duchene then gave the Stars a 2-0 lead midway through the third by finishing a 2-on-1 rush with Mason Marchment. Duchene has had a strong start to the season, collecting three goals and five points in six games.

Nyquist logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Linemates Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg have been good despite the Predators' rough start, but Nyquist hadn't gotten on the scoresheet in the first four games. The veteran winger has posted seven shots on net, three hits and a minus-4 rating over five appearances this season. Nyquist's 75-point effort in 81 regular-season games in 2023-24 was likely unsustainable, but fantasy managers expect more from forwards getting first-line minutes and power-play time on the second unit. He doesn't play much of a physical game, so he has to maintain production offensively to be an option in most fantasy formats.
