Knight made 24 saves in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Chicago built a 4-0 lead before Knight finally saw Will Smith snap a puck past him midway through the second period. The 24-year-old netminder has faded a bit over the last couple of weeks, giving up at least three goals in five straight starts while going 2-2-1 with a 3.11 GAA and an .877 save percentage.

Celebrini produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to Chicago.

The Sharks didn't even get on the board until midway through the second period, when they were already staring at a 4-0 hole. Celebrini still came away with his third multi-point performance in the last five games, and the 19-year-old phenom is up to 28 goals and 81 points through 54 games, putting him fourth in the NHL scoring race behind perennial Hart Trophy candidates Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Nikita Kucherov. Celebrini remains on pace for a truly historic season -- only five teenagers in history have scored 100 or more points, with the last being Sidney Crosby (120 points in 2006-07).

Ingram will defend home crease against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Ingram closed out January with a 4-1-1 record, 2.14 GAA and .913 save percentage over eight appearances. The Oilers placed Calvin Pickard on waivers Sunday, so Ingram will continue to work in some form of a timeshare with Tristan Jarry for the foreseeable future. Ingram should have a favorable matchup Tuesday, as Toronto is on the second half of a back-to-back after picking up a win in Calgary on Monday, while Edmonton has been off since Saturday, a game in which the Oilers were shelled 7-3 by the Wild.

Nedeljkovic gave up two goals on seven shots Monday after replacing Yaroslav Askarov midway through the second period of a 6-3 loss to Chicago.

The Sharks' defense provided little help to either netminder on the night. Nedeljkovic has been the better of the two goalies over the last month-plus, however, and since the beginning of January he's gone 5-2-0 in eight outings with a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage.

Askarov gave up four goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the second period of Monday's 6-3 loss to Chicago.

None of the goals against Askarov could really be pinned on him, and San Jose's defensive play didn't improve after head coach Ryan Warsofsky made the switch in the crease. Nonetheless, it continued a rough stretch for Askarov that has seen the 23-year-old netminder go 2-4-1 in eight outings since the beginning of January with a 4.24 GAA and an .842 save percentage.

Heiskanen pocketed two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

The 26-year-old blueliner had a hand in the Stars' final two tallies, including Thomas Harley's OT winner. Heiskanen has gone 22 straight games without finding the back of the net himself, but he's been plenty productive of late, collecting eight assists over the last seven contests.

Duchene collected two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Winnipeg.

His second helper was the biggest, as Duchene sprung Thomas Harley for a clean break on Connor Hellebuyck that resulted in the OT winner. Duchene extended his point streak to five games with the performance, and since the beginning of January, the veteran center has delivered seven goals and 13 points in 16 contests.

Rantanen scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

After helping to set up Jason Robertson for the Stars' first goal just 48 seconds into the second period, Rantanen gave his squad a 3-2 lead midway through the third. It was the 29-year-old winger's 20th goal of the season, a mark he's reached in six straight years, and Rantanen remains on pace for his third career 100-point campaign with 68 points in 53 contests.

Oettinger stopped 24 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

The 27-year-old netminder did just enough once again to get into the win column, as Oettinger picked up a victory in his fifth straight start. He's allowed more than three goals only once in his last eight outings, going 6-2-0 during that span with a 2.49 GAA and an .895 save percentage.

Scheifele notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

The veteran center extended his point streak to four games, as he helped set up tallies by Cole Perfetti in the second period and Logan Stanley in the third. Scheifele has seven multi-point performances in the last 14 games, piling up seven goals and 19 points over that stretch as he rockets toward a career-best campaign.
