  • Kings' Phillip Danault: Can't find rhythm on offense

    Danault's point drought reached nine games in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Stretching back to late October, Danault has just one assist over his last 16 outings. The 32-year-old center has slipped into a third-line role amid his struggles, and he didn't see any power-play time in Tuesday's contest. Danault has four helpers, 39 shots on net, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 26 appearances. He's topped 40 points in four straight years, but he'd need a massive surge to get there in 2025-26.

  • Alexei Protas LW | WAS

    Capitals' Aliaksei Protas: Fills empty cage

    Protas scored an empty-net goal on five shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    Protas scored for the second game in a row, and he's earned three goals and four helpers over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old lost out on power-play time at the start of November, but he's found a groove once again at even strength, where he excelled during a breakout campaign in 2024-25. This year, he's at eight goals, 17 points, a plus-20 rating, 60 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 13 hits through 27 appearances.

  • Oliver Moore C | CHI

    Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Answers early goal

    Moore scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

    Moore ended a six-game goal drought with his tally at 1:23 of the first period to answer Ivan Barbashev's opening goal. The 20-year-old Moore continues to feature in a second-line role at even strength, though his power-play time has remained sporadic. The forward has done pretty well with three goals, seven points, 17 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 14 appearances as he's settled into a full-time NHL role over the last month.

  • Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Pots goal Tuesday

    Bedard scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

    Bedard got on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the first time since his nine-game point streak from Oct. 26-Nov. 12. He's still been productive lately with four goals and five assists over his last six outings. The 20-year-old breakout star is up to 17 goals, 38 points, 91 shots on net, 24 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 26 appearances.

  • Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Goal in return from injury

    Marchessault (lower body) scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Calgary.

    Marchessault had missed the previous two games because of injury. He wired a wrist shot from the slot past Devin Cooley at 14:25 in the second period. Marchessault has struggled mightily this season. After delivering 56 points last season and 69 the campaign before, he has just five goals and three assists in 21 contests. At some point, Marchessault's game may take off, although his 10.6 shooting percentage isn't that far off his career 11.4, so his scuffles aren't about bad luck. At 34 (and soon 35 this month), his wheels will come off soon enough. This feels too soon, though.

  • Aatu Raty C | VAN

    Canucks' Aatu Raty: Snags helper Tuesday

    Raty produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

    Raty ended his nine-game slump with the helper. The 23-year-old forward was also scratched once in that span, but he's seeing fairly steady time in a fourth-line role. He's now at one goal, six assists, 18 shots on net, 56 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 24 appearances.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Milestone point for sniper

    Stamkos scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-1 win over Calgary.

    It was Stammer's 1,200th NHL point. He's the 53rd player in NHL history and sixth active to reach the mark. The goal stood as the winner. It was Stamkos' 589th career goal, which pushes him closer to Jarri Kurri's 601 for the No. 21 spot on the all-time goal-scoring list.

  • Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Scores early in loss

    Karlsson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

    Karlsson scored 2:55 into the game, but that was the extent of the Canucks' offense. The 26-year-old continues to impress -- he has four goals over his last eight games, and he earned an in-game promotion to the top six Tuesday, though it's unclear if that will last for another contest. For the season, the Swede is up to five goals, nine points, 38 shots on net, 27 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 24 appearances. He is likely to maintain a full-time role as long as the Canucks are still dealing with multiple injuries to forwards.

  • Morgan Frost C | CGY

    Flames' Morgan Frost: Four goals in last seven games

    Frost scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-1 loss to Nashville.

    Frost's power-play goal finally got the Flames on the board at 13:39 of the third period. He wired a one-timer from the slot for his seventh goal of the season. Frost has a goal in every other game over his last seven contests (four goals) and seven points (four goals, three assists) in his last nine.

  • Brock Nelson C | COL

    Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Scores game-winner Tuesday

    Nelson scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

    Nelson put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 at 13:52 of the second period, and his tally held up as the game-winner. The 34-year-old has earned 12 points over his last 10 games and finally looks to be more comfortable after a rough start to the campaign. He's at nine goals, 17 points, 43 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 26 appearances, so he should offer a little of everything for fantasy managers.
