Toffoli scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Senators.

Toffoli has power-play tallies in consecutive contests. The veteran winger is up to four goals, four assists, 24 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 11 appearances. Toffoli earned 15 of 49 points on the power play last year, and while he's on the second unit to start 2026-27, he continues to be effective with the man advantage. That's worth at least a roster spot in deeper fantasy formats despite his declining even-strength usage.

Trocheck scored a power-play goal on four shots and added six hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Trocheck had gone three games without a goal prior to Thursday. The veteran center has settled into a middle-six role for the Mammoth early in the season, producing three goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-4 rating across 11 appearances. At that pace, he'll miss the 50-point mark for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign, though it's always possible Trocheck's offense improves as he gets more comfortable with his new team.

Cooley scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.

Cooley's two goals came in the third period to wipe out a 3-1 deficit. He has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of 11 contests so far, including a trio of multi-point efforts. For the season, the 22-year-old center has three goals, eight assists, 13 shots on net, 14 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 11 outings. He's done most of his damage on the power play, where he has eight points.

Gaudreau scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Mammoth.

Gaudreau continues to impress from Seattle's fourth line early in the season. This was already his sixth goal of the season, one shy of his total from 68 outings in 2025-26. The veteran center is at eight points, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances this season. Gaudreau won't be this efficient all season, he could push for something in the neighborhood of 15-20 goals and 30-35 points if he can remain somewhat steady on offense.

Beniers scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Mammoth.

Beniers has scored two goals over his last four games. The 23-year-old center is struggling to find consistency despite a top-six role with power-play time this year. He has three goals, two helpers, 13 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 11 appearances.

Rossi posted an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Rossi missed the previous two games due to an illness. He snapped a seven-game point drought by helping out on a Jonathan Lekkerimaki tally in this contest. Rossi has three goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances this season. He can do better on offense and will be a fringe candidate to be rostered in standard fantasy formats.

Pettersson scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and doled out two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Pettersson has two goals and an assist over his last three contests. The 27-year-old center has been relatively steady on offense to begin 2026-27, a welcome change compared to recent years. He's now at four goals, eight assists, 17 shots on net, 32 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 12 appearances. Half of his 12 points have come with the man advantage, but if it keeps him productive, that's good enough. He's shown point-per-game potential before, but his 23.5 shooting percentage is bound to decline eventually.

Zibanejad had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 loss to Toronto on Thursday

Zibanejad has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) and 22 shots in 12 games this season. He sits three points behind Alexis Lafreniere and Adam Fox, who both have 14. Just two of Zibanejad's points have come on the power play, a place where he scored 35 of his 78 points last season. More will come when the Blueshirts start clicking more with the man advantage.

Rasmussen scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Rasmussen has started slow on offense, but he's showing signs of heating up. The 27-year-old forward has a goal and two assists over his last four games, accounting for all of his offense on the year. He's added 11 shots on net, 20 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances. Rasmussen is getting power-play usage this season while skating on the third line at even strength. Fantasy managers will need to see a bit more from him on offense before picking him up.

Finnie scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Finnie has two goals and two assists over his last three games. The 21-year-old is playing significant minutes in the top six, and he's also working in a power-play role. He's up to four goals, three assists, 23 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-7 rating across 10 appearances this season. His offense may dip a bit, but he's still looking like a decent fantasy depth forward at a minimum this year.
