Kapanen scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Kapanen got some revenge against his former team, opening the scoring at 15:41 of the second period. The 29-year-old has two goals and an assist over his last four contests as he continues to provide decent offense in a middle-six role. He's up to seven goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net, 52 hits and a plus-7 rating over 26 appearances this season, which has been interrupted by injuries.

McDavid scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

McDavid saw an eight-game, 15-point streak snapped in Dallas on Thursday. He put the Oilers up 2-0 with his tally midway through the third period Friday, but it ultimately wasn't enough. The superstar center is still leading the NHL with 111 points (37 goals, 74 assists) while adding 245 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 67 outings. McDavid is in position to challenge for 130-plus points given his pace this season.

Ingram allowed three goals on 25 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Ingram wasn't able to maintain a 2-0 lead over the last 10 minutes of regulation. The collapse continued when Robert Thomas scored at 4:51 of overtime to send the Oilers to a defeat. Ingram has allowed 16 goals on 123 shots (.870 save percentage) over his last five appearances. He has a 9-6-2 record with a 2.79 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 20 contests this season. Ingram and Tristan Jarry will continue to battle for playing time, though with no back-to-back sets over the next week, a clear starter could emerge. The Oilers' next game is Sunday at home versus the Predators.

Sundqvist produced an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Sundqvist had been a scratch for the previous two games after going without a point over four contests following his return from an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old forward continues to fill a bottom-six role, so his chances on offense are likely to remain limited. Sundqvist is at 15 points, 36 shots on net, 59 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 48 appearances.

Suter scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Suter got the Blues on the board at 12:22 of the third period, cutting the Oilers' advantage to 2-1 at the time. The 29-year-old has scored twice over his last four contests. He continues to fill a middle-six role as a reliable all-around forward. For the season, Suter has 10 goals, 21 points, 78 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 49 outings.

Thomas scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Thomas is playing through a suspected hand injury, which is preventing him from taking faceoffs. It's not slowing him down on offense -- he extended his point streak to seven games with the game-winning tally Friday. During the streak, he has five goals and six assists, and he's up to 16 goals, 44 points, 76 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Fowler scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Fowler tied the game at 2-2 with 3:46 left in the third period, then set up Robert Thomas' goal at 4:51 of overtime. The 34-year-old Fowler has picked up the pace with a goal and six assists during his six-game point streak, and he's maintained an even or positive rating in nine straight contests. For the season, the defenseman is at two goals, 25 points, 79 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 66 appearances.

Hofer stopped 36 of 38 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

The Oilers led 2-0 midway through the third period, but Hofer locked in to let the Blues make a comeback. The 25-year-old Hofer has won five of his last six outings, giving up two or fewer goals in all five of his victories in that span. He's up to 17-11-4 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 appearances. Both Hofer and Jordan Binnington had thrived since the Olympic break, though Hofer continues to see a slight edge for playing time. The Blues have a three-game road trip up next, facing the Jets, Flames and Canucks in a trio of favorable matchups, so Hofer's a decent fantasy option over the next week-plus.

MacLean was a healthy scratch for the third game in a row in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

MacLean played regularly from December up to the trade deadline, but the Islanders' addition of Brayden Schenn has bumped him out of the lineup. The 26-year-old MacLean had gone 17 games without a goal prior to this run of scratches, and he had just two assists in that span. It'll be tough for him to make an impact when he plays, as he's stuck on the fourth line, which has limited him to six points, 35 shots on net, 93 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 47 appearances this season.

Horvat notched two assists and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

Horvat wasn't able to score for a fourth straight game, but he stayed productive with the secondary helper on both of Emil Heineman's goals. The 30-year-old Horvat has seven goals and five assists over his last 10 contests. For the season, the center is up to 28 goals, 19 helpers, 177 shots on net, 44 hits, 35 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 52 appearances.
