McNabb recorded an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

McNabb snapped a 15-game dry spell on offense when he set up Tomas Hertl for the opening tally at 4:39 of the second period. The 33-year-old McNabb signed a three-year contract extension last week, securing his place as a physical presence on the Golden Knights' blue line for the foreseeable future. He's racked up three points, 28 shots on net, 37 hits, 46 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 21 contests this season, putting him on track to challenge for 200 blocks for the second year in a row.

Sandin registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Sandin was credited with the primary helper on Matt Roy's first goal of the season at 13:52 of the first period. Sandin has been productive in November, getting on the scoresheet in seven of 11 contests, including a five-game point streak between Nov. 8-17. Health permitting, Sandin is on his way to a career year. He's up to three goals, eight assists and a plus-16 rating over 20 appearances.

Miromanov logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Wild.

Miromanov set up a Kevin Rooney tally in the first period. The 27-year-old Miromanov continues to see top-four minutes, and he hasn't been scratched in November after sitting out twice in October. For the season, the defenseman has four points, 23 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating, but he hasn't been able to unseat MacKenzie Weegar or Rasmus Andersson for power-play time on a regular basis.

Murphy notched an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Murphy is helping to pick up some of the slack in the wake of Seth Jones' (foot) absence. The assist ended a six-game point drought for Murphy, who remains a fixture in the Blackhawks' top four. The 31-year-old had a good stretch in late October, but he shouldn't be relied on for offense. He's at eight assists, 18 shots on net, 21 PIM, 30 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Ristolainen notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Ristolainen snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 30-year-old defenseman is seeing steady time on the Flyers' second pairing, though he sees minimal power-play time and often doesn't make much of an impact with offense. Overall, he has four points, 25 shots on net, 38 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 21 outings.

Roy scored an even-strength goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Roy opened the scoring with his first goal of the season in the first period of Saturday's loss. The right-shot blueliner missed 10 games earlier in the campaign due to a lower-body injury, but he's offered steady production while skating alongside Rasmus Sandin in a top-four capacity. Roy has points in three of his last six games, and overall, he's notched a goal, three assists and a plus-3 rating through 10 appearances.

Fox produced an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.

Fox has four helpers, four shots on net and eight blocked shots over his last three contests. He continues to offer consistent offense from a top-pairing role. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to 17 assists, 25 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 19 appearances this season.

Stecher notched an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

The helper was Stecher's first point of the 2024-25 season. He's regained a regular role in the Oilers' bottom four after looking like he was losing out around the start of November. While his playing time has stabilized, his lack of production makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats. In addition to the helper, Stecher has 17 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 hits, nine PIM and a minus-5 rating over 18 contests.

Dillon scored his first goal of the campaign Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Dillon floated a wrist shot through traffic to put the Devils up 2-1 at 7:08 of the second period. The 34-year-old compiled two shots, one block, four hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:16 of ice time to round out a useful fantasy performance. This type of outing is rare for the stay-at-home defenseman, as his marker Saturday was his first point in November. The British Columbia native has logged one goal, four assists and a plus-6 rating through 23 contests this season. He has served as a key penalty killer for the Devils while logging 2:14 of shorthanded ice time per game.

Nurse scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

Nurse missed three games after taking a high hit from Ryan Reaves last Saturday versus Toronto. In his return, Nurse led the Oilers with 23:30 of ice time in a blowout win, so it looks like he's fine moving forward. The defenseman has racked up three goals, 10 points, 49 shots on net, 34 hits, 35 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 19 outings in a top-four role this season. His all-around production will benefit fantasy managers who weathered his absence.
