Willander scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Toronto.

The young defender has four points, including two goals, in his last five games. Willander has remained productive despite the team's struggles. He has amassed four goals, 12 assists, 41 blocked shots and 39 shots in 43 outings during his rookie season.

Tolopilo made 39 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Tolopilo was outstanding in the contest and stoned sniper Auston Matthews on a penalty shot in overtime. Tolopilo was also superb in a 2-0 win over the Ducks on Thursday, which could lead to more opportunities to play instead of the struggling Kevin Lankinen.

Peterka recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Peterka has four goals and three helpers over his last nine outings. He set up both of Kailer Yamamoto's contests in this loss, as their line with Barrett Hayton was the only one to get much going against the Stars. Peterka is up to 37 points (19 goals, 18 helpers), 109 shots on net and a plus-10 rating across 55 appearances.

Yamamoto scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Yamamoto has earned five goals and two assists over his last seven games. He's doing everything he can to carve out a permanent role in the lineup, though that could be tough to do once Logan Cooley (lower body) is back. For the season, Yamamoto is at nine goals, 16 points, 31 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-11 rating through 33 appearances.

Vejmelka allowed three goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Don't blame Vejmelka for this loss. The Mammoth killed off just two of the Stars' four power plays, with Thomas Harley and Wyatt Johnston each scoring with the man advantage early in the first period. Vejmelka has now taken three straight losses, allowing 10 goals on 94 shots in that span. He's tended to run streaky at times, though with more good than bad overall. Vejmelka slipped to 25-14-2 with a 2.63 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 42 starts. The Czech netminder is set to represent his country at the Olympics, so it's possible the Mammoth will let him rest either Monday versus the Canucks or Wednesday against the Red Wings in advance of the tournament. Vejmelka went 9-4-0 over 13 games in January, sitting just twice all month.

Ekman-Larsson picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.

He has two assists in his last three games. Ekman-Larsson has eight goals, 25 assists and 80 shots in 55 games this season. He has just three power-play helpers, but that could change with Morgan Rielly's upper-body injury in the second period of Saturday's game. Rielly will be re-evaluated Sunday. OEL has the chops to deliver in that role.

Roy notched a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.

It was Roy's first goal and fifth point in his last 16 games. He has 19 points, including five goals, and just 50 shots through 52 appearances this season. Roy has won faceoffs at a good clip (53.5 percent), and he's racked up 298 wins at the dot, but he hasn't been contributing nearly enough to warrant much fantasy attention.

Benn logged two assists and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.

This was his second multi-assist game in a row. Benn picked up one of his helpers on the power play, his first point with the man advantage all season. The 36-year-old is up to 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists), 42 shots on net, 44 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 33 appearances. His offense is likely to be inconsistent given his age and role, but Benn's worth streaming for his physical play.

Duchene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.

Duchene's goal streak is up to four games, a span in which he's tallied five goals. The 35-year-old has helped the Stars to four straight wins, and if his offense is here to stay, that makes a deep team even deeper. He's at nine goals, 16 points, 44 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 30 appearances this season, but he played at a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 and had no fewer than 56 points in any of his previous four campaigns, so it's no surprise he's getting his offense on track.

Harley scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.

Harley has two goals and five points over his last six contests. The defenseman opened the scoring just 2:11 into the game. Harley's had a challenging year overall, but he's warming up. He's at four goals, 21 points (five on the power play), 68 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 43 outings in a top-four role.
