Dunn scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Dunn has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games with a goal and two assists in that span. He's cooled off after a hot first half of January, but he's still seeing big minutes in a top-pairing role and on the power play. Dunn is up to eight goals, 34 points, 119 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating across 55 appearances this season. He's just five points shy of matching his total from 62 outings in 2024-25, and he already has a career-best 19 power-play points on his ledger.

Wright scored twice, including once on the power play, in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

This was Wright's second two-goal effort in the last four games. The 22-year-old center has grown into a third-line role this season, which has helped him grow his two-way game while still leaving enough room for offense. For the season, he's at 11 goals, 22 points, 84 shots on net, 43 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 56 appearances.

Daccord stopped 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

The Kraken led 3-1 after the first period, and that was enough to give Daccord his fourth straight win. The 29-year-old has allowed just eight goals during the streak, turning things around after a tough first half of January. Daccord improved to 16-12-5 with a 2.81 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 33 outings overall. After the Olympic break, Daccord and Philipp Grubauer figure to continue their timeshare in the crease, especially as the Kraken return to action with a back-to-back set in Dallas on Feb. 25 and in St. Louis a day later.

Myers has not recorded a point in his last 21 games after being held off the scoresheet in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

That period spans the schedule between the holiday break and the Olympic break. Myers went minus-15 with 34 shots on net, 22 hits, 21 blocked shots and 12 PIM over those games. For the season, he's at just eight points with 71 shots, 91 blocks, 65 hits, 40 PIM and a minus-25 rating through 57 appearances. Myers' non-scoring production is fine, but he's on pace for the worst season of his career in which he's played at least 50 games.

Blueger recorded two assists, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Blueger has four goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 31-year-old has brought stability to the third-line center spot after a lengthy injury absence. He's now at eight points (five goals, three helpers), 19 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-3 rating across 10 appearances this season. Blueger is set to represent Latvia at the Olympics.

Joseph scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Joseph has a goal and an assist over his last three games. The defenseman is seeing steady bottom-four usage in the absence of Zeev Buium (face). If Buium isn't ready to return following the Olympic break, expect Joseph to stick in the lineup a bit longer, but he'll likely slip back into a part-time role once the Canucks are fully healthy. Joseph has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Pettersson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Pettersson ended a seven-game point drought with the tally. The 21-year-old defenseman has seen steady usage during this latest NHL stint, but the offense hasn't followed yet. He's at two goals, eight points, 26 shots on net, 85 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 47 appearances. He was not shipped down to the AHL following this contest, so it's possible Pettersson will remain with the big club and rest during the Olympic break.

Lankinen allowed five goals on 31 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Lankinen has lost his last five results, allowing a total of 22 goals on 107 shots over six games in that span. The 30-year-old has still been playing regularly, and he'll get to stay in a rhythm while representing Finland at the Olympics. In the NHL this season, he has gone 7-19-4 with a 3.67 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 32 outings. With those numbers, most fantasy managers would be best served keeping Lankinen off their rosters.

Lauzon recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, five hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Lauzon snapped an eight-game slump with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to fill in on the Golden Knights' top pairing alongside Shea Theodore. Lauzon will likely keep that role until Brayden McNabb (upper body) returns after the Olympic break. Lauzon is at nine helpers, 42 shots on net, 157 hits, 68 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 42 appearances this season, so his fantasy upside is limited in most formats.

Stone logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Stone has a pair of two-assist games to begin February. He helped out on second-period tallies by Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev, reuniting with those forwards as his linemates in the middle of the contest. Stone is up to 57 points (20 goals, 37 assists) with 91 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating across 40 appearances this season. He is on track for career-best production, though a second lengthy injury absence could derail that.
