Marner scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Marner has scored in three straight games, picking up three goals and an assist in that span. The 28-year-old playmaker is showing that he can be dangerous with his shot as well, though his recent efforts haven't prevented the Golden Knights from losing five straight contests. Marner is up to 15 goals, 56 points, 112 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 55 appearances in a top-six role.

Hill stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

The Golden Knights ran out of time after Tomas Hertl brought the deficit back to one late in the third period. Hill took his third straight loss (0-2-1), and he's allowed 14 goals on 81 shots in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old goalie is 3-3-3 with a 3.51 GAA and an .856 save percentage over 11 contests. Both Hill and Akira Schmid are likely to get one more start prior to the Olympic break, as the Golden Knights host the Canucks on Wednesday and the Kings on Thursday in a back-to-back set.

Trouba recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Trouba earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 8, which was also against Vegas. The defenseman has six points over 10 contests since he welcomed his second son into the world. This has been Trouba's most productive campaign in three years -- he's at eight goals, 16 helpers, 109 shots on net, 100 hits, 108 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. He has a good chance of getting to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Terry logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Terry returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury and played 13:55 in this contest. The 28-year-old winger was on the second line with Chris Kreider and Ryan Poehling, which was the Ducks' best trio in this win. Terry is up to 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists) with 104 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 44 appearances. As long as he's in a top-six role and on the power play, he's a quality fantasy option for points and shots.

Gauthier scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Gauthier has four goals and four assists over his last seven games. The 22-year-old winger stretched the Ducks' lead to 3-0 in the second period Sunday, but the Golden Knights made a decent attempt at a comeback. Gauthier has been a breakout player in 2025-26 with 24 goals, 48 points (12 on the power play), 205 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-1 rating through 54 appearances. He's currently skating on the third line, but his place on the first power-play unit is secure.

Poehling scored an empty-net goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Poehling set up Chris Kreider's goal in the first period and then deposited an empty-netter in the third. The latter ended up being a critical insurance goal, as Tomas Hertl brought Vegas back within one in the final minute of the game. Poehling has done well in a larger role lately, earning two goals and four assists over his last seven appearances. For the season, the 27-year-old center is at six goals, 23 points, a plus-10 rating, 51 shots on net and 57 blocked shots through 49 outings.

Kreider scored two goals and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Kreider earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 7 versus the Blackhawks, tallying the first two goals of the game. He's warming up with four goals and an assist over his last five contests. The veteran winger is up to 19 goals, 30 points, 96 shots on net, 45 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating across 49 appearances, matching his point total from 68 games with the Rangers in 2024-25.

Dostal allowed three goals on 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

The Golden Knights pushed hard in the third period, but Dostal was up to the task to preserve the Ducks' lead. He's won seven of his last eight outings, and this was just the third time in that span that he allowed three goals. The 25-year-old netminder is now 20-13-2 with a 2.95 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 37 appearances this season. The Ducks play once more before the Olympic break, as they host the Kraken on Tuesday.

Eyssimont notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Lightning in the Stadium Series.

Eyssimont has played in three straight games since injuries to Elias Lindholm (upper body) and Pavel Zacha (upper body) have opened spots in the Bruins' lineup. The 29-year-old Eyssimont is confined to fourth-line duties currently, but he was able to snap a 10-game point drought when he set up Alex Steeves in the first period of Sunday's outdoor contest. For the season, Eyssimont has earned 15 points in 43 appearances, one shy of matching his total from 77 regular-season outings between the Lightning and the Kraken last year. He's added 82 shots on net, 33 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-5 rating.

McAvoy registered two assists, including one on the power play, and added four PIM, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Lightning in the Stadium Series.

McAvoy has gotten on the scoresheet in 14 of his last 16 games, earning three goals and 16 helpers in that span. The 28-year-old is still wearing extra face protection to prevent damage to the injury he sustained versus Montreal on Nov. 15, but it hasn't disrupted his vision or slowed him down on offense. For the season, the blueliner is at four goals, 34 assists, 16 power-play points, 66 shots on net, 55 hits, 83 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 44 contests.
