NHL Player News

Steeves signed a two-year, $3.25 million contract extension with the Bruins on Wednesday.

Steeves has proved his mettle in his first full year at the NHL level, which has led to finding an everyday role with the Bruins since being called up from the minors in mid-November. He's flashed the ability to heat up offensively while posting eight goals, 14 points, 44 shots on net, 117 hits and 22 blocked shots across 33 games this season. He should continue to supply decent category coverage from a bottom-six role moving forward.

Thompson scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Thompson was limited to 13:33 of ice time, but his goal gave the Sabres a 4-0 lead early in the second period, and it probably earned him some rest. He has six goals and eight helpers over 10 outings in January, and he's at 26 goals, 51 points, 172 shots on net, 48 hits, 30 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 49 appearances this season.

Greig produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Both points came in the third period, providing a little insurance for the Senators. Greig is putting together an impressive January, recording three goals and nine points in 11 games while skating in a middle-six role and getting shifts on the second power-play unit.

O'Reilly recorded two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

O'Reilly extended his point streak to five games with this impressive outing, and the 34-year-old veteran has racked up 10 points (five goals, five assists) over that stretch. O'Reilly remains one of the most productive Nashville forwards, registering 47 points in 49 games so far, and he is on pace to hover around the 70-point mark as long as he stays healthy. He hit that threshold back in the 2018-19 regular season when he was with the Blues.

Ostlund scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Ostlund has been turning things around of late, collecting five points over his last five games, though he didn't find the scoresheet in two outings before Tuesday's two-goal effort. The 21-year-old forward is up to 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 37 contests this season.

Krebs recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Krebs has found the back of the net in two of Buffalo's last three games. However, the 24-year-old doesn't contribute much offensively most of the time. The bottom-six forward has five goals, 19 points, 114 hits and 56 shots on net through 49 appearances this season.

Helenius scored a goal and recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Helenius made his NHL debut on Monday, and it took him only two games to leave his mark on the scoresheet. The 19-year-old winger is currently playing on the third line, but if he adjusts quickly to the pace of the NHL, he could be in line for a bigger role in the second half of the season. He probably won't produce like this regularly, but the 19-year-old is worth monitoring in dynasty formats due to his outstanding potential.

Danault scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Danault tied the game at 1-1 with his goal at 15:22 of the first period. The 32-year-old center had been snakebit all season, though he's shown life on offense with six points over his last nine games. The center is at one goal, 10 assists, 62 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 44 appearances between the Canadiens and the Kings this season.

Miller scored two goals on seven shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

This was a fourth straight multi-point effort for the 32-year-old center. He has two goals and six assists in that span, but his pair of tallies Tuesday left the Rangers a goal short of a comeback. He's up to 13 goals, 32 points, 97 shots, 87 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-17 rating across 42 appearances this season, offering enough all-around production to remain useful in fantasy.

Savoie scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

Savoie had gone 16 games without a goal, picking up just three assists with 15 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old continues to be a regular in the Oilers' lineup, though he's often been in a bottom-six role lately. He's now at eight goals, 16 points, 67 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 51 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.
