Suter scored a goal and took five shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Suter found the back of the net in his return to action following a two-game absence due to a lower-body injury. However, he hasn't been a reliable scoring weapon for St. Louis this season. He has only seven goals, and 13 total points, through 26 games.

Novak logged a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.

Novak has five points over his last four games. The 28-year-old saw just 11:21 of ice time Thursday, but he made the most of it, helping out on goals by Ville Koivunen and Evgeni Malkin. Novak has 12 points (four on the power play), 33 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 26 outings. He's showed 40-point potential in the past, and while he may not play at that level for all of 2025-26, he could help fantasy managers in deep formats.

Kindel scored a power-play goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.

Kindel stretched the Penguins' lead to 3-0 midway through the second period. He's scored twice over his last three games while continuing to play in a middle-six role. The 18-year-old center is up to seven goals, 10 points, 49 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 10 hits and a minus-8 rating through 23 appearances. He may sit out occasionally as part of his development plan, but Kindel's quickly established himself as part of the Penguins' system thanks to his willingness to do defensive work.

Nazar logged two two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Nazar helped out on Connor Bedard's opening goal and set up Wyatt Kaiser's tally -- the eventual game-winner -- late in the second period. With five helpers over his last four games, Nazar has found his playmaking touch amid a goal drought that reached 15 contests Thursday. On the year, the 21-year-old center is at five goals, 15 helpers, 53 shots on net, 23 blocks, 18 hits, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 25 appearances. Nazar's been productive enough overall to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Bedard scored a power-play goal on four shots and added four PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Bedard has scored in four of the last five games, earning five goals and three assists in that span. This was his first power-play tally since Nov. 12 versus the Devils. The 20-year-old superstar is up to 18 goals, 39 points (12 on the power play), 95 shots on net, 28 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 27 appearances in his breakout year.

Gaudreau scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.

Gaudreau picked off a pass and struck for a goal late in the first period. He cut the Kraken's deficit to 3-2 at the time, but the Oilers bounced back in the middle frame. This was Gaudreau's first goal in a Kraken uniform, and he's added two assists, 10 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances, primarily in a bottom-six capacity.

McCann scored a goal in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.

McCann has two points over three games since returning from a lower-body injury. He's at four goals, two assists, 21 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances this season. McCann has seamlessly retaken a top-six role and should be in line for ample ice time at even strength and on the power play. The Kraken's weak offense isn't encouraging, but McCann should be among the team's steadiest players.

Henrique notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, five blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Since his two-helper game versus the Mammoth on Oct. 28, Henrique had gone 16 contests with just two assists and a minus-6 rating. He matched that output by assisting on both of Matt Savoie's goals in this game, one shorthanded and the other on the power play. Henrique is at nine points, 47 shots on net, 18 hits, 40 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 28 outings this season. He's valued for his experience and defensive acumen, but Henrique will see most of his minutes in the bottom six, limiting his scoring potential for fantasy.

Nugent-Hopkins logged three assists, including two on the power play, in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

With five points over three games since he returned from an undisclosed injury, Nugent-Hopkins has taken little time to find his form. He's earned four of those points with the man advantage. The top-six forward has six goals, 15 helpers, 13 power-play points, 28 shots on net and a minus-12 rating across 19 appearances in 2025-26.

Janmark scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Janmark got his first goal of the year Thursday. He's been heating up -- all four of his points this season have been earned in the last seven games. The 32-year-old defensive forward has added 12 shots on net, six hits, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 12 appearances in total. Janmark probably won't provide enough consistent offense to help most fantasy managers, but he plays a valuable on-ice game that keeps him in the lineup.
