Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Lights lamp in Wednesday's loss
Kapanen scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Kapanen has scored in back-to-back games to begin February. The 29-year-old winger remains in a second-line role, where he's had plenty of success when healthy this season. He's up to five goals, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-8 rating through 19 appearances. Kapanen has appeal in fantasy as a depth forward, particularly in formats that reward hits.

Leon Draisaitl C | EDM
Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Tallies twice on power play
Draisaitl scored a pair of power-play goals on five shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
Draisaitl has four goals and nine assists over his last six games. The 30-year-old has 13 power-play goals this season, six of which have come in four games against the Flames, so he may be disappointed that the Battle of Alberta is over for the year. Overall, he's at 29 tallies, 80 points (34 on the power play), 161 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 55 appearances.

Tristan Jarry G | EDM
Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Another ugly outing
Jarry allowed four goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Flames.
The Flames converted twice on the power play in the first period, and Jarry gave up an even-strength goal in each of the last two frames. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed at least four goals in four of his last five games. For the season, Jarry is 15-7-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 25 appearances, but his numbers have been far worse in Edmonton than they were in Pittsburgh. He is poised to continue competing with Connor Ingram for playing time following the Olympic break.

Zach Whitecloud D | CGY
Flames' Zach Whitecloud: Bags two apples
Whitecloud logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Whitecloud has earned three helpers over seven outings with the Flames. He's immediately stepped into a top-four role, though the increase in ice time hasn't made much of a difference for his offense. For the season, the 29-year-old blueliner is at 10 points, 46 shots on net, 86 hits, 76 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances between Calgary and Vegas.

MacKenzie Weegar D | UTA
Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Dishes two power-play helpers
Weegar logged two power-play assists, two shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Weegar is picking up steam with four helpers over his last three outings. The 32-year-old defenseman made his first power-play contributions since Dec. 31 with this performance. Overall, he's at 20 points, 123 shots on net, 127 hits, 129 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a minus-32 rating through 56 appearances. Weegar's fantasy value continues to come mostly from his non-scoring production.

Nazem Kadri C | COL
Flames' Nazem Kadri: Provides two helpers in win
Kadri notched two assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
This was Kadri's second multi-point effort in a row after he went 19 games without one. He was limited to just four points during that span. The 35-year-old center is up to 39 points, 155 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-24 rating through 56 appearances. Despite his recent struggles, he's still been one of the Flames' better forwards for the season. Kadri has popped up in trade rumors, but he's signed for three more years at a $7 million cap hit, so he may be difficult to move if Calgary decides to fully embrace a teardown.

Ryan Lomberg LW | CLB
Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Deposits game-winner Wednesday
Lomberg scored a goal, added two PIM and doled out four hits in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Lomberg ended a 15-game goal drought in the third period, and his tally stood as the game-winner. During the slump, he earned just three assists, and none of them had come in the previous five contests. The 31-year-old forward is up to four goals, eight points, 48 shots on net, 117 hits, 59 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 50 appearances in a fourth-line role.

Connor Zary C | CGY
Flames' Connor Zary: Pots goal in win
Zary scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Zary tipped in a Zach Whitecloud shot at 11:43 of the second period. This ended a 10-game goal drought for Zary, who racked up five assists and 21 shots in that span. The 24-year-old is now at nine goals, 21 points, 81 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-6 rating through 54 appearances. He had 27 points in the same number of games a year ago, so the step back on offense is a bit discouraging, though the Flames' scoring numbers as a whole are poor.

Jonathan Huberdeau C | CGY
Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau: Nets power-play goal
Huberdeau scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
Huberdeau opened the scoring at 3:12 of the first period. It's been another tough season for Huberdeau, but he's shown a little positivity lately with two goals and two assists over his last five outings. The 32-year-old winger is up to 10 goals, 25 points (seven on the power play), 83 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 50 appearances this season.
