Roslovic scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Roslovic continues to look right at home on the top line for Toronto. This was his third goal of the season, all coming in the last four games. He's added two assists, 20 shots on net, four PIM and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances. Roslovic is a decent target for fantasy managers in need of points and shots.

McKenna scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

McKenna is now on a four-game point streak, consisting of two goals and three assists. That's all the offense he's banked so far, but it's encouraging to see him finding a groove on the third line after struggling in the top six to start the season. The rookie winger has added 12 shots on net, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. McKenna will almost certainly get more looks in the top six as the season progresses, but having him on the third line for now gives the offense a bit more depth as he adjusts to the NHL.

Tavares scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Tavares was out of the lineup Saturday for the birth of his fourth child. He rejoined the Maple Leafs for the last game of their road trip and delivered a strong performance with his first multi-point effort of the season. The 36-year-old center is up to two goals, three assists, 17 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over six appearances. Tavares will continue to see steady time on the second line and first power-play unit.

Matthews scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Matthews was held off the scoresheet in the first two games of the season, but he's since rattled off a five-game streak. He's earned five goals and seven assists in that span, including four power-play points. That's the Matthews we're more familiar with, compared to what he's done in a couple of down years recently. The star center has added 25 shots on net, four hits, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven appearances. If he can stay healthy and continue to average around four shots per game, he shouldn't have much trouble getting back above the 40-goal mark.

Stolarz stopped 23 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.

Stolarz took his first loss of the season, though a clean third period gave the Maple Leafs a chance at a comeback that fell short. Through three outings, Stolarz is 2-1-0 with 10 goals allowed on 80 shots. Sergei Bobrovsky is still expected to get most of the starts for Toronto, but it's been pretty close to a timeshare so far. The Maple Leafs return home for the next three contests, beginning when they host the Sabres on Thursday.

But scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

But continues to play regularly in a fourth-line role for the Mammoth. He hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since he scored in the season opener. He has two goals, eight shots on net, 13 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven outings. Given his current usage, he's not much of a factor in redraft formats at this time, but he's worth keeping an eye on if he gets into a top-six role.

Lafreniere scored twice in a 4-1 victory over the Lightning on Tuesday night.

The snipes extended his goal streak to a career-best four games (seven goals) and his point streak to six games (10 points). Lafreniere's goals both came in the first, and his second stood as the winner. Surprisingly, his seven goals have him temporarily tied for second in the NHL. Lafreniere has two seasons of 57 points in his last three, and at 25, his draft pedigree has slipped a few notches. But he's talented and this could be a real step forward. Beware the bloated shooting percentage (38.9) -- his career average is 14.2, so the plummet is coming.

Weegar scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Weegar has two goals and no assists through seven games this season. The veteran defenseman continues to play a key role in the Mammoth's top four, but he's seen just traces of power-play time this year, which has a limiting effect on his offense. He's still a good source of non-scoring production with 13 shots on net, 25 hits, 24 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating.

Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Trocheck started the year on the Mammoth's top line, but he's since been moved to center the second line. The 33-year-old's still getting used to his new teammates, earning two goals and one assist over seven contests. He's added 10 shots on net, 22 hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating. Trocheck should do enough overall to remain a productive part of a fantasy lineup, especially in formats that reward hits and PIM.

Guenther scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged six PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Guenther had been limited to one assist over his previous four games. The 23-year-old winger's offense had been limited to his power-play success prior to Tuesday, so it's a positive sign to see him do some damage at even strength. He has four goals, four helpers, 24 shots on net, three hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating across seven outings this season.
