Barzal had one goal and two assists in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

Even though several bottom-six forwards turned heads with their play for the Islanders in the blowout win, Barzal also made his presence felt with a three-point effort. He's posted back-to-back multi-point efforts and has six points over his last four games. The 28-year-old star playmaker has 35 points (11 goals, 24 assists) in 42 contests this season.

Cizikas recorded two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

Cizikas was one of the top performers for the Islanders in the game, but that's an oddity for the 34-year-old veteran, as he isn't known for his offensive contributions. He hadn't cracked the scoresheet since Dec. 9, when he recorded an assist in a loss to the Golden Knights. Cizikas has five goals and 11 points this season while occupying a bottom-six role.

Roy logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

Roy helped out on Easton Cowan's opening goal and Bobby McMann's empty-netter. The 28-year-old Roy is really coming around with a goal and five helpers over his last six contests while occupying a middle-six role with time in all situations. He's up to 17 points, 41 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-6 rating over 39 appearances. He won't do a lot of anything, but he does a little of everything as a versatile and dependable forward.

Bardakov notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

Bardakov has played in four straight games since injuries started to pile up again for the Avalanche. The 24-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, which will continue to limit his scoring potential. He's up to six points, 19 shots on net, 27 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 29 appearances this season.

Cirelli scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche.

Cirelli has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 28-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-22 rating through 38 appearances this season. He's close to the pace needed to earn his second straight 50-point campaign, and he should also top the 20-goal mark if he can stay healthy and productive.

Gaudreau recorded two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Gaudreau has his first multi-point effort as a member of the Kraken after setting up third-period tallies by Kaapo Kakko and Berkly Catton. The 32-year-old Gaudreau has been flexing his versatility lately, drawing some power-play time while playing on the right wing at even strength in a second-line role. He's up to 11 points, 30 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 28 appearances this season. Gaudreau has earned nine of his points since the start of December.

Beniers notched two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Beniers has opened January with five points (three goals, two assists) over four games. The center helped out on tallies by Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann in this high-scoring victory. Beniers is up to seven goals, 19 helpers, eight power-play points, 76 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 41 appearances in a top-six role.

Meyers scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Meyers has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. He's finding ways to contribute from the fourth line, which has kept him in the lineup for every game since Dec. 10. The 27-year-old forward is now at four goals, eight points, 34 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-2 rating over 23 outings this season. Meyers' scoring isn't enough to get him on the radar in fantasy, but his spot in the lineup looks to be secure for now.

McCann scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

McCann extended his point streak to five games (three goals, three assists) with this effort. The 29-year-old set up Berkly Catton's first NHL tally early in the second period before scoring a buzzer-beater on the power play to end that frame. McCann is up to eight goals, 14 points (five on the power play), 43 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating across 17 outings this season. As long as he can stay healthy, he should be productive for fantasy managers -- his most recent return from a lower-body injury has breathed some life into the Kraken's offense over the last couple of weeks.

Catton scored twice, including once on the power play, and added two PIM in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

Catton ended a nine-game point drought with the effort, a span that was interrupted by him missing eight games due to an upper-body injury. It took him 28 contests to join the ranks of NHL goal-scorers, though it was just over another period before he tallied a second time as part of the Kraken's surge in the third. The 19-year-old has seven points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances this season. Catton is in a third-line role, and he still has ample value in dynasty formats, though he's unlikely to be a factor in redraft leagues in 2025-26.
