Jarvis dished out two assists, compiled a plus-2 rating and fired three shots on net in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues.

Jarvis distributed his first two assists of the new campaign in Saturday's clash, when he chipped in on the goals scored by Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Logan Stankoven, respectively. The 24-year-old Jarvis has tallied at least one point in both of his appearances thus far since being cleared after recovering from shoulder surgery. He's a proven difference maker on the ice, and as long as his current scoring pace continues while he ramps up to full speed, Jarvis could be placed on the top line in no time. He's a priority waiver-wire addition in leagues where he has been sitting on waivers due to his injury.

Aho registered two assists, including one on the power play, posted a plus-1 rating and dished out three hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over St. Louis.

Aho recorded his fourth multi-point game over his last seven outings in Saturday's clash. He picked up a secondary helper on Sean Walker's first goal of the season before later sliding the primary pass on Nikolaj Ehlers' power-play strike. Overall, the 29-year-old Aho is shining in 2026-27, where he's compiled seven goals, 18 points, a plus-6 rating, 38 shots on net and 12 hits through 13 games this season. As he continues to churn out strong performances for the reigning Stanley Cup champs, Aho is poised to be an elite fantasy option for the foreseeable future. He's projected to challenge the 80-plus point mark for the second consecutive season by the end of the 2026-27 campaign.

Stankoven potted a goal, compiled a plus-2 rating and launched five shots on net in Saturday's 4-0 win over St. Louis.

Stankoven's goal-scoring stretch dating back to right before the start of the 2025-26 Stanley Cup Playoffs has been nothing short of remarkable. His tally late in Saturday's second period was his eighth of the new season, bringing his total up to 26 goals across his last 40 total games. He leads all skaters in goals during that span, currently holding four goals more than the next closest player. In 2026-27, the 23-year-old center currently has 11 points, a plus-10 rating and 42 shots on net through 13 games. He's truly living up to his potential as time has progressed, making him a strong fantasy option in all point-based leagues moving forward.

Kotkaniemi scored a goal, recorded a plus-1 rating and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues.

Kotkaniemi's shot has come alive over the past five games, where he's scored all three of his goals in the 2026-27 campaign. The 26-year-old forward was held to just two tallies in the 2025-26 campaign, so his hot start firing the puck is noteworthy for fantasy purposes. Overall, he has compiled six points, 12 shots on goal, 12 hits and five blocked shots across 11 appearances this season. With his recent placement on the Hurricanes' second power-play unit, Kotkaniemi is trending in the right direction in fantasy. He appears to be on track to return to being a double-digit goal scorer, which has him trending in the right direction in deeper fantasy leagues.

Catton scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.

Catton scored midway through the first period, but that was the lone time the Kraken solved Jesper Wallstedt. The tally extended Catton's point streak to four games (one goal, four assists), though that came on the heels of a three-game drought. The 20-year-old is getting consistent middle-six minutes and power-play time this year, and it looks like he's here to stay in the NHL. Catton has three goals, six helpers, 22 shots on net and a plus-2 rating -- that's already more than halfway to matching his 66-game scoring output (17 points) as a rookie last year.

Eriksson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Eriksson Ek earned his second multi-point outing of the season in this win. He's earned two goals and four helpers over his last five outings to help overcome a slow start to the year. The 29-year-old center is up to three goals, six assists, 38 shots on net, 15 hits, six PIM and a plus-8 rating over 12 appearances. As long as he stays healthy, Eriksson Ek can contribute both with offense and physical play in a top-six role.

Copp scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Copp tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period, but the Red Wings couldn't keep up after that. The 32-year-old ended a three-game dry spell with the tally. Copp is centering the third line and seeing power-play time, so he should be able to chip in some supplemental offense this season. He has two goals, one assist, 21 shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 11 appearances this season.

Strome scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Strome scored for the first time since the season opener. The 33-year-old forward is filling a middle-six role and seeing power-play time this season, and his production has largely matched the usage. He's at four points, 21 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 10 appearances.

Geekie scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Geekie snapped an eight-game point drought with the tally. He's played in all 11 contests for the Lightning this season, though he has primarily functioned in a bottom-six role. Geekie has two goals, 14 shots on net, 31 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. His spot on the second power-play unit gives him a slightly higher floor, but he won't be a strong fantasy option until he's seeing steady top-six minutes.

Point scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Point's goal was a momentous one in franchise history -- it was set up by Nikita Kucherov, who took sole possession of the franchise lead in all-time points on the play. The goal also ended a seven-game goal drought for Point. The 30-year-old center is at two goals, seven assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 11 appearances this season. He continues to fill a top-six role.
