Stamkos scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Monday's 6-5 victory over St. Louis.

The Predators were down 5-1 early in the second period, but they managed to claw their way back before Stamkos scored back-to-back tallies midway through the third to complete the comeback. The 35-year-old is showing he still has plenty left in the tank after a tough 2024-25 season, and over the last 11 games, he's erupted for nine goals and 13 points.

O'Reilly scored two goals, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

The veteran center opened the scoring for Nashville midway through the first period before finding the back of the net again early in the third as the Predators put together a stunning comeback from a 5-1 deficit. O'Reilly has three multi-goal performances in the last nine games, a surge that's seen him score seven goals and 14 points, and he's reached 20 goals for the third straight season and the 10th time in his career.

Evangelista picked up three assists in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

The 23-year-old winger played a big part in a remarkable comeback win, having a hand in all three Nashville goals during the third period. Evangelista is already up to a career-high 41 points (seven goals, 34 assists) on the season through 54 games, and he's been even hotter of late, producing a goal and 10 points over the last nine contests.

Dach scored a goal and recorded four shots on net in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

Dach struck the back of the net for Montreal's third goal of the night to give them a 3-2 lead before the Wild forced overtime. With the twine finder, the 25-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 11 points, 32 shots on net, 28 hits and 21 blocked shots across 22 games this season. Despite a foot injury keeping him out of the lineup for nearly two months, Dach has provided steady scoring when he's been healthy. He currently has a three-game point streak, and his strong all-around numbers make him a solid streaming option in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

Josi collected four assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

The Predators were facing a 5-1 deficit early in the second period, but Josi helped spark a comeback with his season-high four assists. The veteran blueliner has delivered six multi-point performances in the last 11 games, a scoring surge in which he's piled up five goals and 19 points, including two goals and seven assists with the man advantage.

Annunen turned aside all 13 shots he faced after replacing Juuse Saros early in the second period Monday, recording the win in a 6-5 victory over the Blues.

The Predators were staring at a 5-1 deficit when the goalie switch was made, but Annunen stood tall as his teammates put together a remarkable comeback. A seven-goal disaster in Vegas on Jan. 17 still mars his numbers, but that's the only outing Annunen's had since the beginning of December in which he's allowed more than three goals. Over that stretch, he's gone 4-2-1 in nine appearances with a 2.45 GAA and a .918 save percentage. With Nashville trying to stay in the playoff picture, Annunen could begin to push a struggling Saros for playing time.

Demidov scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Demidov tallied the second consecutive goal for the Canadiens to tie Monday's contest at two apiece late in the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to 12 goals, 46 points and 81 shots on net across 56 outings this season. The 20-year-old winger has 10 points across his last 11 games, which has kept him firmly in the conversation for this season's Calder Trophy. Regardless, his rookie campaign has been highlighted by exceptional offense, which has helped keep the Habs in a playoff spot in a competitive Atlantic Division.

Saros gave up five goals on 21 shots before being replaced by Justus Annunen early in the second period of Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

Three St. Louis goals in the first four minutes of the second frame spelled the end for Saros, but the move paid off for Nashville as the home squad somehow rallied from a 5-1 deficit. It still continued a tough stretch for Saros in which he's allowed at least three goals in eight straight outings, going 4-2-1 with a 4.11 GAA and an .877 save percentage over that span.

Maccelli scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Maccelli scored a goal for the first time since Jan. 10, when he found the twine in a 5-0 victory over the Canucks. Maccelli has 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 45 contests this season, so he's not expected to be a massive fantasy contributor any time soon -- even if he finds a way to crack the scoresheet from time to time.

Nylander recorded a goal, two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Playing in just his second game since returning from a seven-game absence due to a groin injury, Nylander made his presence felt and was involved in three of the team's four goals. Nylander should remain a key player for the Maple Leafs now that he's healthy. The 29-year-old playmaker is averaging well over a point per game with 51 points (18 goals, 33 assists) in 39 contests.
