Oilers' Ty Emberson: Adds assist in loss
Emberson logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Since the start of January, Emberson has four helpers, seven shots on net, 27 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 games. He looks to be firmly in a third-pairing role, though he could still be challenged by Alec Regula for playing time. Emberson has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 79 hits, 89 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 52 appearances, putting him two points shy of matching his total from 76 regular-season games a year ago.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Five-game goal streak
Raddysh scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.
Raddysh is on a five-game goal streak (four assists), and he has 21 shots in that span. Three of his goals came on the power play. Raddysh has gone full beast mode this season, and we hope he never wakes up from this dream. He has 17 goals, 34 assists, a plus-16 rating, 127 shots and 19 power-play points (nine goals) in just 48 games. Raddysh has also been supremely clutch -- he has five game-winning goals this season.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Tallies in Tuesday's loss
Walman scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Walman ended a four-game slump with the tally. The 29-year-old defenseman's goal tied the game for all of nine seconds in the middle of the second period. He's up to five goals, 15 points, 54 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 28 appearances. There's some risk in trusting Walman for fantasy, but he's done a decent job in a top-four role with limited power-play time.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Pots goal in loss
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Kapanen has two points over four games since he returned from an undisclosed injury that cost him three contests. He's now at four goals, 11 points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 appearances. He's been pretty good when healthy, but the 29-year-old presents plenty of injury risk. Still, his spot alongside Leon Draisaitl is worth taking the risk.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Poor showing versus Maple Leafs
Ingram allowed four goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Ingram had another shaky outing -- he's been under a .900 save percentage in his last four appearances (three starts). In that span, he's allowed a total of 12 goals on 68 shots. The 28-year-old dropped to 6-4-1 with a 2.67 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 13 appearances this season, but he's trending in the wrong direction. Tristan Jarry will likely get the nod in Calgary on Wednesday to send the Oilers into the Olympic break, but neither Edmonton goalie has been all that reliable lately.

Jake Guentzel C | TB
Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Twelve points in last eight games
Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres on Tuesday.
Guentzel scored the winner on a feed from Nikita Kucherov with just 15 seconds remaining. He has two consecutive two-point games and 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in his last eight contests. Guentzel is en fuego this season, and he's on pace to establish a new career mark in points. He has 25 goals, 34 assists, 141 shots and a plus-13 rating in 54 games this season.

Jake McCabe D | TOR
Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Gathers helper in win
McCabe notched an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
This was McCabe's second point, both assists, in 14 outings since he returned from a two-game absence for a lower-body injury. He's gone minus-9 in that span while adding 21 hits and 29 blocks. The 32-year-old is filling a shutdown role in the Maple Leafs' top four, though he's had decent success on offense. He's at three goals, 15 assists, 50 shots on net, 79 hits, 133 blocks, 31 PIM and a plus-17 rating across 55 appearances this season.

Bobby McMann C | SEA
Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Second straight empty-netter
McMann scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
For the second game in a row, McMann found the empty net to seal a win. This goal gave him seven points over his last seven outings. The 29-year-old winger continues to carry multi-category appeal with 19 goals, 32 points, 116 shots on net, 126 hits, 30 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 56 contests this season. McMann's fantasy value is boosted as long as he stays on the top line, though this was the Maple Leafs' last game before the Olympic break.

John Tavares C | TOR
Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Buries power-play tally
Tavares scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
Tavares snapped a five-game goal drought and earned his first power-play point since Jan. 19 versus the Wild. The 35-year-old center's goal also stood as the game-winner as the Maple Leafs pulled away in the third period. Tavares is up to 20 goals, a mark he's reached in every full-length season of his career, and 47 points (eight on the power play) through 57 outings. He's added 140 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-16 rating while holding onto a top-six role.

Nikita Kucherov RW | TB
Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Third four-point game in last five
Kucherov had a goal and three assists in a 4-3 win over the Sabres on Tuesday.
It was Kucherov's second-straight four-point game and third in his last five games. He extended his point streak to nine games and 23 points (six goals, 17 assists). Kucherov is third in the NHL in points (90) behind Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, but he's first in points-per-game (1.80).
