Hanifin scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

Hanifin gave the Flames a 2-1 lead in the second period. The defenseman has been solid at both ends of the ice with eight points and a plus-10 rating across his last 10 outings. For the season, he's at eight goals, 25 points, 87 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-12 rating through 47 appearances in a top-four role.

Weegar scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

Weegar opened the scoring at 11:38 of the first period. He has scored in back-to-back games, and the defenseman has stayed strong with eight points over 11 outings in January. This is shaping up to be a career year for Weegar. He has 11 goals, 28 points, 115 shots on net, 116 blocked shots, 77 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 47 appearances, a pace that should see him challenge for his first 50-point campaign.

Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Miller helped out on Artemi Panarin's second-period tally. After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller is emerging from his slump with a helper in each of the last two contests. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to 18 points, 56 shots on net, 59 hits, 60 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 45 outings. He remains firmly in a top-four role, though a lack of power-play time lowers his ceiling in fantasy.

Fox scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Fox got the Rangers on the board in the first period and set up Artemi Panarin's tally in the second. This was Fox's fourth multi-point effort over the last seven games. The defenseman has 11 points through 12 outings in January, and he's at eight goals, 35 points, 65 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 37 contests overall. Fox is a must-play in virtually all fantasy formats.

Rutta provided two assists, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Rutta is warm right now, earning four points over the last three games, all wins for the Sharks. He played a key role Tuesday, setting up Ryan Carpenter for the game-tying goal in the third period and Tomas Hertl for the game-winner in overtime. Rutta has 10 points, 38 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 36 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances. The 33-year-old may see a larger role while Mario Ferraro (undisclosed) is out.

Dahlin notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.

Dahlin set up a Jordan Greenway tally in the third period. Through nine outings in January, Dahlin has provided three goals, six assists, 26 shots on net, 15 hits and 15 blocked shots. The do-it-all defenseman is enjoying another strong campaign with 38 points (13 on the power play), 136 shots, 91 hits, 88 blocks and a minus-13 rating through 46 contests overall.

Zellweger posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Zellweger saw 13:42 of ice time in his NHL debut and was able to set up Sam Carrick's second-period tally for his first helper. The 20-year-old Zellweger may have a chance to carve out an NHL role until Pavel Mintyukov (shoulder) returns to action, which is likely about a month away. With 25 points in 34 games for AHL San Diego this season, Zellweger's promotion was well earned, though he'll likely see sheltered minutes to begin his Ducks career.

Pietrangelo notched two assists, two shots on net and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Pietrangelo led all skaters with 24:37 TOI and produced his first multi-point game since Nov 30. He started off the scoring in the first period with a wrister from the point that was finished off with a tip-in by Ivan Barbashev that Ilya Sorokin had no chance on. Pietrangelo followed that up in the second period with a secondary assist on a power-play goal by Sheldon Rempal. Vegas returns to the ice against the Rangers on Friday.

Gudas notched an assist, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Gudas snapped a five-game slump with his helper on Jakob Silfverberg's opening tally in the first period. The 33-year-old Gudas continues to see top-four minutes while providing heavy physicality for the Ducks. He's at 12 points, 61 shots on net, 77 PIM, 92 blocked shots, 116 hits and a plus-15 rating through 41 outings overall, offering enough in the non-scoring areas to help in fantasy formats that count such metrics.

Fowler notched two assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Fowler helped out on the first and last goals of the game, giving him 20 assists on the year. He's picked up the pace with five assists over his last nine contests -- the 32-year-old is seeing better looks on offense since Jamie Drysdale was dealt to the Flyers. Fowler has 22 points, 69 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-25 rating through 47 appearances in a top-pairing role.
