Blumel scored twice on four shots in AHL Providence's 3-0 win over Charlotte on Sunday.

Blumel put up five goals and four assists over 12 outings in January and has gotten February off to a good start as well. For the season, he has nine goals, 24 points, 76 shots on net and a plus-10 rating in 27 AHL contests. He also saw action in four NHL games before a lower-body injury cost him a month of action.

Pulock notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

This was Pulock's first point in three contests since he missed two games due to an upper-body injury. He has resumed his usual top-four role and continues to offer a little scoring upside with decent physicality. For the season, the 31-year-old blueliner is at 22 points, 66 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-12 rating over 53 outings.

Pageau scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Pageau has four goals and an assist over his last four outings. The 33-year-old center is now at 12 goals, 24 points, 51 shots, 65 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 47 appearances. Pageau's always good for a few bursts of offense during every season, which puts him in streaming territory for the Islanders' three-games-in-four-days stretch prior to the Olympic break.

Schaefer scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Schaefer has scored in consecutive contests and has seven points over his last eight games. The 18-year-old defenseman continues to do his job well, and he's up to 15 goals and 37 points over 55 outings. He could take a run at the 20-goal and 50-point marks if he stays healthy for the rest of the season, which are incredible totals for a rookie blueliner. Schaefer has added 134 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating so far.

Jost notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

The helper ended a 12-game drought for Jost, who was scratched in three of the previous five games. The Predators aren't carrying an extra forward currently, opening the door for Jost to be a regular on the fourth line for a while, but he's often been scratched when the team goes to seven defensemen and 11 forwards. Jost is at eight points, 45 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-13 rating over 41 outings this season, a slower pace than his nine-point performance over 39 regular-season games in 2024-25 with the Hurricanes.

Wood scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

The Predators are carrying just 12 healthy forwards, which has opened the door for Wood to play regularly. He put up just three points over 12 outings in January while getting scratched three times, but a multi-point effort to end the month could be a good sign. For the season, the 20-year-old rookie has nine goals, eight assists, 66 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances. He's worth a look in fantasy if he gets into the top six on a regular basis.

Power scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Power ended his 24-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he was limited to seven assists, but he added 37 shots on net and a plus-10 rating. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't stepped up much this season with four goals, 16 points, 83 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 53 outings. He's still playing a big role in the top four, and he's doing enough defensively to help the Sabres stay in the tight playoff race.

Dobson logged a pair of assists, four shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Dobson filled the stat sheet with a strong performance to end January. The defenseman put up eight points, 35 shots on net, 40 blocks and 17 hits over 16 outings for the month, and it's a testament to his skills that that production looks a little low. Overall, Dobson is at 35 points, 110 shots on net, 135 blocks and a plus-10 rating across 55 appearances in his first year with the Canadiens.

Suzuki logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

One of Suzuki's helpers came on the power play. This was his seventh multi-point effort in the last 10 games, a span in which he has four goals and 12 assists. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to 64 points (18 goals, 46 helpers), 118 shots on net, 43 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 55 appearances. Suzuki is on track to reach the 90-point mark for the first time in his career.

Kapanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Kapanen ended an eight-game goal drought with the empty-netter. The 22-year-old rookie has earned three points over his last two contests to break out of a slump. For the season, he has produced 17 goals, 13 helpers, 97 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 55 outings, primarily in a second-line role.
