Cozens scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Cozens opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season, then assisted on Stutzle's second-period tally. The center has scored three goals in his last two appearances and four in his last four, suggesting his offense is gaining momentum. His five shots were particularly encouraging, and continued opportunities alongside Stutzle on the first line could help him sustain elite fantasy production. He has also posted three multi-point performances in his last four games.

Stutzle scored a goal on seven shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Stutzle set up Dylan Cozens' opening goal for his 12th assist of the season before scoring Ottawa's third tally in the second period. The star center finished October with nine goals and 21 points, setting a franchise record for points in the month. His seven shots also represented a game-high mark, reinforcing his elite fantasy value through a combination of consistent scoring, playmaking and substantial offensive involvement.

Mazur notched an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Mazur has filled a part-time role on the Red Wings' fourth line to start the season. This was his second helper in eight outings on the year. He has added nine shots on net, 10 hits, two PIM and a minus-3 rating. Mazur doesn't have a clear path to a larger role and could end up out of the lineup altogether if the Red Wings get to full health once Mason Appleton (undisclosed) and Marco Kasper (upper body) are back in action.

Kolesar scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

The tally was Kolesar's first goal and point as a Red Wing after an offseason trade saw him shipped out of Vegas. The 29-year-old has held firm in a fourth-line role to open 2026-27, though the weaker supporting cast in Detroit is likely a factor in his slow start. He's added six shots on net, 41 hits, 20 PIM and 13 blocked shots through 14 appearances.

Finnie scored a power-play goal on five shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Finnie is poised to get the first chance to be the Red Wings' new top-line center now that the team's relationship with the disgruntled Dylan Larkin (suspension) is beyond repair. Finnie has stepped up well this season with a larger role, showing that last year's surprise breakout wasn't a fluke. The 21-year-old is at six goals, four assists, 33 shots on net, 17 hits, eight blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-8 rating across 14 appearances. Finnie is a strong fantasy target as long as he's thriving in between wingers Alex DeBrincat and Viktor Arvidsson.

Compher scored a goal and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Compher has done well since he recovered from an undisclosed injury. He's earned all four of his points over five contests since his return. The 31-year-old is occupying a third-line role, though he could get into the top six for Andrew Copp if the Red Wings mix up their lines. Compher has added 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over seven outings, though his lack of power-play time makes it unlikely he'll sustain his current pace on offense.

Toropchenko registed an assist and three hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

This was Toropchenko's first point of the season. He's played in three games since he returned from the upper-body injury that he sustained in the Blues' season opener. The fourth-liner has added two shots on net, nine hits and two blocked shots over four contests this season, production far short of making him a reliable option in fantasy.

Dvorsky scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Dvorsky snapped a six-game point drought with the tally, which was his first goal since Oct. 3. The 21-year-old scored in consecutive games to begin the season, but that hot start fizzled out quickly. He's at four points, 21 shots on net, 11 hits and four PIM over 14 appearances in a third-line role.

Buchnevich scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Buchnevich's offense remains a bit sparse through one month of the season. He's scored twice over his last five games, adding seven shots on net in that span. Buchnevich has three goals, four assists, 20 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across 13 appearances. The versatile forward remains in a power-play role that makes him a viable source of depth scoring in fantasy, but there are likely hotter hands to roster for managers chasing an upgrade.

Greene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Greene has a pair of goals over his last four games. The 23-year-old forward is filling a bottom-six role this season, though his presence on the penalty kill should help him stay in the lineup. He's up to four points, 13 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-1 rating across 14 appearances. Greene won't need to be rostered in fantasy unless he finds his way into the top six.
