Crosby netted a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.

Crosby tallied an unassisted goal midway through the first period to give Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead. With his first goal since Nov. 6, Crosby is up to 12 on the season, which is tied for fifth across the NHL and trails the league leader, Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon, by two goals. With 21 points and 42 shots on net through 19 appearances this year, Crosby continues to produce at a high level and will be a fantasy factor all season. Crosby is on pace for his fifth consecutive season with 80-plus points, which will set him up well to surpass the 1,800-point mark by the end of his current contract through the 2026-27 season.

Malkin scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.

The 20-year NHL veteran continues to defy his age as he tallied the second goal of the game for the Penguins. Overall, Malkin has five goals, 18 assists and 48 shots on goal through 19 games this season. He has continued to provide steady production for the Penguins all year, with at least a point in 16 of his 19 games. Malkin is tied for 14th in the league with 23 points through Sunday's games, and he isn't showing signs of slowing down. With 1,369 points in his career, he's on pace to reach 1,400 before the end of the season, making him an elite fantasy option the rest of the way.

Glass (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

The Devils recalled defenseman Ethan Edwards from AHL Utica in a corresponding move. Glass is week-to-week, so his retroactive date of Nov. 12 won't impact his timeline to return to the lineup. He has produced three goals, 19 shots on net and five blocked shots in 10 appearances this season.

Guentzel scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

Guentzel doubled the Lightning's lead at the 4:35 mark of the second period when he deflected a shot from Erik Cernak while in front of the net. Guentzel had a slow start to the season but has been turning things around of late with four goals and three assists over his last seven appearances.

Pettersson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Pettersson didn't find the back of the net in this win, meaning he's tallied just one goal in eight appearances in November, but he continues to produce solid numbers as a playmaker. The 27-year-old center, who continues to thrive as a first-line center at even strength and on the power play, has nine points (one goal, eight helpers) this month. He's also riding a streak of three straight contests with multi-point performances, his longest of the season.

Colton scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Colton has two goals and three assists over his last six games. His tally Sunday tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period, and the Avalanche gained the lead just 1:19 later on a Victor Olofsson goal. Colton is up to three goals, 10 points, 39 shots, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances. His physical playing style makes him an option for fantasy managers in deeper formats, especially while he's seeing consistent middle-six minutes.

Necas scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Necas has four goals and seven points during his active four-game point streak. He provided an insurance tally in the final minute of this contest to keep the streak going. Necas is up to 13 goals, 25 points, 42 shots on net, 22 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 19 appearances in a steady top-line role.

Nelson scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Nelson helped out on Ross Colton's game-tying goal in the second period. In the third, Nelson tipped a Brent Burns shot for the Avalanche's fourth goal, which came 19 seconds after Martin Necas' empty-netter. This was Nelson's first multi-point effort of the season and extended his point streak to three games (two goals, two assists). The center has five tallies, nine points, 31 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 19 appearances.

Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.

Zibanejad has scored the Rangers' last two goals, and he has three tallies and three helpers over his last six outings. The Rangers' offense is still inconsistent, especially at home, but the 32-year-old has been one of the team's better players. He's at seven goals, 12 points, 66 shots on net, 28 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 20 appearances.

Trenin scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Trenin hadn't scored yet this season while playing consistently in a bottom-six role. The 28-year-old brings more physicality than offense when he's on the ice, but he can score more than he has so far in 2025-26. He's at four points, 24 shots on net, 85 hits, 10 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 20 appearances. At that pace, he's likely to come up short of the 20-point mark for the third year in a row.
