Hill stopped 18 of 20 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

A three-goal second period for the Golden Knights was all the support Hill needed to win his season debut. The 30-year-old had backed up Carter Hart in the first two games of the year, but head coach Ryan Craig clearly didn't want Hill sitting for too long. Neither goalie is a clear-cut No. 1 at this stage of the campaign, so there could be an element of momentum that comes into play with how Vegas divvies up the workload in the crease. The Golden Knights' next game is in Seattle on Tuesday.

Frost scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

Frost cashed in at the net front on a pass from Matvei Gridin in the third period. Through three games this season, Frost has a goal, eight shots, three hits, three blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's functioning as the Flames' top-line center, but he probably wouldn't see much more than middle-six usage on the vast majority of other NHL teams. The role makes him a viable depth option in deep fantasy formats, but don't expect much more than the 43 points he produced in all 82 games last year.

Wolf allowed six goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

The Flames' defense had a couple of breakdowns in the first period, and Wolf gave up three goals early. That was far too much to come back from. Wolf has given up 12 goals on 59 shots over two games against Seattle to begin his season, though the Flames will need to score more than one goal a game to give their goalies a chance. The Flames will have some time to recoup before hosting the Avalanche on Thursday in what is one of the most lopsided matchups on the slate early in the year.

Montour notched two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Montour was quiet on offense over the first two games of the campaign before breaking out in this one. He's made up for it with non-scoring production, collecting five hits, six blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating. Montour should see steady top-four usage and power-play time throughout the campaign. He was held to 32 points in 64 outings last year but should push for the 40-point mark if he can stay healthy.

Stephenson notched two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Stephenson has gotten on the scoresheet in all three games so far, amassing one goal, three helpers, four shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 32-year-old center is in his usual second-line spot as well as working on both sides of special teams. Stephenson has some upside as a playmaker with 50-point potential, but he won't add much else for fantasy managers.

Wright scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Wright scored on a spin move in the second period to stretch the Kraken's lead to 4-0, breaking a stretch of pressure from the Flames. The 22-year-old Wright has two points, three shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over three contests this season. He requested a trade in the offseason but has since turned his focus to making things work with the Kraken, at least for this year. Wright is on the third line to begin the campaign.

McMann scored a goal on six shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

McMann has scored in back-to-back games. He's also compiled 12 shots, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over three contests this season. McMann is getting steady playing time on the second line while also featuring on the power play. If his offense holds up in that role, he provides enough all-around production to help in most fantasy formats.

Eberle scored a goal on two shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Eberle enjoys playing against the Flames -- he has 21 goals and 24 helpers over 55 contests against Calgary in his career. That trend has continued in 2026-27 -- both of his goals this season have been at the Flames' expense. The winger has a total of three points, seven shots, three hits and three blocks over three outings. Eberle should continue to see steady top-six usage and power-play time.

Catton scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Catton broke through in the third game of the campaign after being held to two shots on net over the first two contests. The forward worked to the net to score the opening goal at 2:22 of the first period and set up a Shane Wright tally in the second. Catton is still learning the ropes in the NHL at 20 years old, and his usage will probably remain sheltered in a bottom-six role for now, though he does have a power-play role. He produced 17 points in 66 games as a rookie last year, though his first goal didn't come until he scored twice versus the Bruins on Jan. 6.

Samoskevich scored two goals on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Samoskevich earned his first career multi-goal game with this effort. While he was still listed on the fourth line, he saw 18:49 of ice time Sunday, leading all Seattle forwards while frequently seeing usage with Matty Beniers and Jared McCann. Samoskevich could officially move to the top six soon based on that usage, which gives him some added fantasy appeal if he builds on this outing. He's also logged four hits over two contests after recovering from an upper-body injury.
