NHL Player News

Lankinen allowed five goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Lankinen has lost his last five results, allowing a total of 22 goals on 107 shots over six games in that span. The 30-year-old has still been playing regularly, and he'll get to stay in a rhythm while representing Finland at the Olympics. In the NHL this season, he has gone 7-19-4 with a 3.67 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 32 outings. With those numbers, most fantasy managers would be best served keeping Lankinen off their rosters.

Lauzon recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, five hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Lauzon snapped an eight-game slump with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to fill in on the Golden Knights' top pairing alongside Shea Theodore. Lauzon will likely keep that role until Brayden McNabb (upper body) returns after the Olympic break. Lauzon is at nine helpers, 42 shots on net, 157 hits, 68 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 42 appearances this season, so his fantasy upside is limited in most formats.

Stone logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Stone has a pair of two-assist games to begin February. He helped out on second-period tallies by Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev, reuniting with those forwards as his linemates in the middle of the contest. Stone is up to 57 points (20 goals, 37 assists) with 91 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating across 40 appearances this season. He is on track for career-best production, though a second lengthy injury absence could derail that.

Reinhardt scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Reinhardt returned from a healthy scratch and put the Golden Knights ahead 2-0 in the second period. The goal snapped his six-game point drought. The 26-year-old has been decent as a fourth-liner this season, but that role has given him limited scoring potential. Reinhardt is at three goals, four assists, 28 shots on net, 73 hits and a minus-4 rating across 39 appearances.

Holtz scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Holtz has picked up the pace a bit with five points over his last nine outings. He started Wednesday's game on the top line, but he saw just 14:09 of ice time. He's mostly filled a bottom-six role this season, earning eight points, 26 shots on net, 24 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 25 appearances. Holtz will need to show steady offense over a longer stretch to work his way into the fantasy conversation.

Dorofeyev scored a goal on seven shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Dorofeyev has five goals and an assist over his last eight outings. He reached the 25-goal mark for the year in this contest, putting him just shy of matching his total from 82 regular-season games in 2024-25. The 25-year-old winger is at 42 points, 154 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 56 appearances in a top-six role.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Barbashev scored for the fourth game in a row. He's added 13 shots on net and seven hits in that span while thriving on the Golden Knights' top line. For the season, Barbashev is up to 16 goals, 39 points, 87 shots on net, 89 hits and a plus-12 rating through 56 appearances. He remains a steady source of offense and physical play in fantasy.

Eichel scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Eichel opened the scoring at 5:09 of the second period and helped out on an Ivan Barbashev goal -- the eventual game-winner -- later in the frame. With five points over his last three games, Eichel looks ready for the Olympics. He's up to a total of 20 goals, 66 points, 183 shots on net, 30 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 49 appearances this season.

Schmid stopped 21 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Schmid took care of business in an easy matchup, though he allowed goals to defensemen Elias Pettersson and Pierre-Olivier Joseph. This outing ended an 0-2-1 stretch for Schmid, who gave up 10 goals on 77 shots in that span. For the season, the Swiss netminder is at a 16-6-6 record with a 2.53 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 29 appearances. As the lone NHL goalie on Switzerland's Olympic roster, expect Schmid to see steady playing time during the tournament.

Regula was scratched for the 11th time in 12 games in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.

Regula has lost his place in the Oilers' lineup, with Spencer Stastney and Ty Emberson most often playing bottom-four roles. Regula was held off the scoresheet for his last eight appearances, which may have contributed to the extended stay in the press box. This season, he has three assists, 18 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 29 appearances.
