Misa scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

Misa is picking up steam with three goals and an assist over his last six games. The 19-year-old continues to work in a second-line role in the absence of Alexander Wennberg (upper body). Misa has seven points, 17 shots on net, eight hits and a minus-5 rating over 15 appearances this season, a scoring pace identical to what yielded him 21 points in 45 games as a rookie in 2025-26.

Tomasino notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

This was Tomasino's first game at the NHL level this season. He carried some momentum from his hot start in the AHL, and he should be able to fill a spot while the Senators wait for some injured wingers to return. He's seen NHL action in each of the last five campaigns, so a strong performance could help Tomasino stick around in a part-time role when the team gets healthy.

Greig scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Greig ended a six-game goal drought with the tally. He had just one assist during that span. The 24-year-old forward continues to fill a third-line role, though multiple injuries to other forwards could open the door for more special-teams work for Greig. On the year, he's produced four points, 19 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances.

Thompson scored two goals on eight shots, including the game-winning goal on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

Thompson extended his scoring surge after recording a hat trick and two assists against Anaheim on Thursday, giving him five goals over his last two appearances. The star center leads Buffalo with 10 goals this season, while his eight shots Saturday highlighted his ability to generate consistent scoring opportunities. He remains a premium fantasy option across all formats, as he has 17 points (10 goals, seven helpers), 63 shots and 19:26 TOI/G in 14 games so far this season.

Pinto scored an empty-net goal on one shot and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Pinto assisted on Ridly Greig's shorthanded goal in the second period before sealing the victory with an empty-netter late in the third. The center has five goals and six assists this season, and he continues to find ways to produce, although the lack of consistency has been a bit of an issue. Even though he's on a three-game point streak, it's worth noting that he's failed to crack the scoresheet in four of his last eight games dating back to Oct. 15.

Cozens scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Cozens opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season, then assisted on Stutzle's second-period tally. The center has scored three goals in his last two appearances and four in his last four, suggesting his offense is gaining momentum. His five shots were particularly encouraging, and continued opportunities alongside Stutzle on the first line could help him sustain elite fantasy production. He has also posted three multi-point performances in his last four games.

Stutzle scored a goal on seven shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Stutzle set up Dylan Cozens' opening goal for his 12th assist of the season before scoring Ottawa's third tally in the second period. The star center finished October with nine goals and 21 points, setting a franchise record for points in the month. His seven shots also represented a game-high mark, reinforcing his elite fantasy value through a combination of consistent scoring, playmaking and substantial offensive involvement.

Finnie scored a power-play goal on five shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Finnie is poised to get the first chance to be the Red Wings' new top-line center now that the team's relationship with the disgruntled Dylan Larkin (suspension) is beyond repair. Finnie has stepped up well this season with a larger role, showing that last year's surprise breakout wasn't a fluke. The 21-year-old is at six goals, four assists, 33 shots on net, 17 hits, eight blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-8 rating across 14 appearances. Finnie is a strong fantasy target as long as he's thriving in between wingers Alex DeBrincat and Viktor Arvidsson.

Greene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Greene has a pair of goals over his last four games. The 23-year-old forward is filling a bottom-six role this season, though his presence on the penalty kill should help him stay in the lineup. He's up to four points, 13 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating across 14 appearances. Greene won't need to be rostered in fantasy unless he finds his way into the top six.

Mittelstadt scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Mittelstadt continues to be a decent source of offense in a middle-six role. He has three goals and three helpers over his last six outings. For the season, the 27-year-old forward is up to five goals, four assists, 22 shots on net, seven blocked shots, six hits and a plus-8 rating through 15 appearances.
