Jared McCann SEA C
Kraken's Jared McCann: Extends point streak to four
2m agoMcCann netted an unassisted goal in the second period of Tuesday's 3-2 loss against Colorado.
McCann added two shots, one block and a minus-1 rating in 15:58 of ice time. The left-shot winger is on a roll of late -- he's produced seven points over his last four games. Through seven outings, McCann has generated four goals, five assists, 14 shots, six blocks and a plus-4 rating. The 28-year-old's nine points leads the Kraken, and he'll attempt to extend his point streak to five against Winnipeg on Thursday.

Shayne Gostisbehere CAR D
Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Keeps scoring streak alive
4m agoGostisbehere scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Gostisbehere has been on a roll to start the season and has found the back of the net in four straight games, including three power-play tallies in a row, though this was his first multi-point effort. Gostisbehere's scoring streak should end sooner rather than later, but there's no doubt he's been one of the most productive blue-liners in the first two weeks of the 2024-25 regular season.

Nathan MacKinnon COL C
Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Finds twine in win
8m agoMacKinnon deposited a goal on the power play in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Mackinnon's power-play marker stood as the winning goal, and it extended his season-opening point streak to seven. The right-shot superstar has registered an assist in all but one game, and he's up to three goals, nine assists and a minus-3 rating over seven games. MacKinnon will once again be a candidate to win the Art Ross Trophy given his hot start and 140-point effort in 2023-24. The 29-year-old will attempt to keep it rolling in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.

Sean Durzi UTA D
Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Undergoes shoulder surgery
9m agoDurzi will be out 4-6 months after surgery to repair his injured right shoulder, Utah announced Wednesday.
Durzi's timeline matches what was previously reported when he was put on injured reserve but this update provides more clarity on the exact nature of his injury. While it would be on the early end of his recovery timeline, four months could see the blueliner returning following the NHL break for the Four Nations Face-Off in February. Given how long Durzi will be out, he could be a candidate for long-term injured reserve if Utah needs the cap space.

John Marino UTA D
Hockey Club's John Marino: Undergoes surgery
9m agoMarino has undergone successful lower-back surgery and is projected to miss the next 3-4 months, Utah announced Wednesday.
Marino hasn't played in 2024-25 because of the injury. He had four goals and 25 points across 75 appearances with New Jersey in 2023-24. Marino is expected to serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy, though it's possible he'll be eased into the lineup after missing so much time.

Martin Necas CAR C
Hurricanes' Martin Necas: Three-point effort Tuesday
12m agoNecas scored a goal and added two assists, including one in the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Necas was involved in each of the Hurricanes' three goals in this win, setting up Shayne Gostisbehere's power-play tally and Sebastian Aho's game-winning goal while lighting up the lamp in the third period with a tip-in. Necas has two multi-point efforts over his last three games, tallying two goals and three assists over that span.

Tommy Novak NSH C
Predators' Thomas Novak: Finds back of net Tuesday
41m agoNovak scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Novak recorded his third goal of the season Tuesday, but unlike in the previous two games in which he scored, this one contributed to Nashville's victory. The Predators have endured a tough start to the season, but Novak has found a way to stay productive in front of goal, tallying three goals across six appearances while averaging 2.3 shots per contest.
-
Gustav Nyquist NSH C
Predators' Gustav Nyquist: First goal of season Tuesday
43m agoNyquist scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
It took Nyquist six games to find the back of the net, but he finally ended his drought with a third-period goal as Nashville snapped its losing skid and clinched its first win of the season. Nyquist has points in each of his last two outings and should continue to have opportunities to produce as long as he continues to skate alongside Ryan O'Reilly and Filip Forsberg in the first line.
-
Ryan O'Reilly NSH C
Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Two points in Tuesday's win
1h agoO'Reilly scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
O'Reilly broke the deadlock for the Predators in the final minutes of the first period with his first power-play goal of the campaign, which also extended his goal streak to four contests. The veteran center later helped seal the win with an assist in Gustav Nyquist's third-period goal. O'Reilly has been one of Nashville's best players amid the team's woeful start to the season and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his six appearances.
-
Sebastian Aho CAR LW
Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Scores game-winning goal Tuesday
18m agoAho scored the game-winning goal and also added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Aho was the Hurricanes' hero Tuesday, as he scored the game-winning goal with only seven seconds left in overtime with a rocket from the right faceoff circle. His power-play assist in the second period started a streak of multi-point performances, and he's also cracked the scoresheet in four straight outings, racking up two goals and four assists in what has been a very productive stretch for the 27-year-old winger.
-
Joel Kiviranta COL LW
Avalanche's Joel Kiviranta: Pots two in win
28m agoKiviranta scored two even-strength goals in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
Kiviranta started the scoring in the opening frame before redirecting a Cale Makar shot into the back of the net to give Colorado a one-goal lead in the second period. Kiviranta added four shots, two PIM, one block and a plus-2 rating in 14:51 of ice time. The Finnish forward has three markers in his last two games, but he's yet to register an assist this season. Kiviranta is filling a fourth-line role and serving as a penalty killer.
-
Luke Evangelista NSH RW
Predators' Luke Evangelista: Scores, assists in win ver Boston
1h agoEvangelista recorded an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Evangelista notched his first goal of the campaign with an empty-netter in the third period when the Bruins were all out on the attack, but before he participated in the build-up that led to Tommy Novak's goal in the second period. This was Evangelista's first multi-point game of the campaign, and the right winger is up to four points through six appearances.
-
Brandon Saad STL LW
Blues' Brandon Saad: Carries offense in loss
2h agoSaad scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
He was the only St. Louis skater to beat Connor Hellebuyck on the night, shoveling home rebounds in the first and third periods, but Winnipeg dominated the second. Saad's first tally gave him 500 career points, but the goals were also his first points of 2024-25 after he missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child.
-
Alex Tuch BUF RW
Sabres' Alex Tuch: Two-point effort Tuesday
2h agoTuch scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
It was the third multi-point performance in Tuch's last five appearances, as the Sabres' top line has caught fire. On the season, the 28-year-old has produced three goals and nine points in eight outings as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 campaign.
-
Evgenii Dadonov DAL RW
Stars' Evgenii Dadonov: Two helpers in Tuesday's loss
2h agoDadonov picked up two assists in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Both helpers came in the third period as the Stars tried to rally from a 3-0 deficit. Dadonov had gone without a point in his first six appearances of the 2024-25 campaign, and he hadn't had a multi-point performance since Feb. 7 of last season. Without a consistent spot in the top six or on the power play, the 35-year-old isn't likely to build much momentum off the effort.

Justin Barron MON D
Canadiens' Justin Barron: Day-to-day with upper-body injury
18m agoBarron (upper body) won't participate in Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day.
Barron left Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers due to the injury. He has a goal, 13 hits and eight blocks in seven appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Saturday versus St. Louis, then Arber Xhekaj might draw back into the lineup after spending Montreal's past two games in the press box.
-
Cale Makar COL D
Avalanche's Cale Makar: On another level
19m agoMakar recorded two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Seattle.
Makar registered an even-strength helper on Joel Kiviranta's second-period tally before assisting on Nathan MacKinnon's power-play goal in the same frame. In addition, Makar compiled three shots, three blocks and a plus-1 rating in a team-high 23:24 of ice time. The star blueliner extended his season-opening point streak to seven after Tuesday's two-point performance. Makar leads all NHLers with 14 points (two goals) through seven games.
-
Owen Power BUF D
Sabres' Owen Power: Three-point night Tuesday
2h agoPower delivered three assists with one shot, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
The 21-year-old blueliner had a hand in Buffalo's first three goals on the night, giving Power his first multi-point performance of the season. He's had a strong start to the campaign, racking up two goals and six points in eight appearances, and he's done it without the benefit of any power-play production. However, as long as Rasmus Dahlin is healthy, Power will remain limited to the Sabres' second unit despite his offensive talent.
-
Frederik Andersen CAR G
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Excellent in win over Oilers
27m agoAndersen stopped 33 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.
Andersen was beaten twice by Connor McDavid, once in the first period and once in the second during a power-play situation, but he was excellent the rest of the way. Andersen has been splitting the early-season starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, and while the platoon might continue in the coming weeks, there's no question Andersen needed a performance like Tuesday's to bolster his numbers. Through three appearances, the 35-year-old netminder has a 2-1-0 record with a 1.65 GAA and a .939 save percentage.
-
Philipp Grubauer SEA G
Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Struggling to start season
36m agoGrubauer allowed three goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.
Through four appearances, Grubauer has given up at least three goals on three occasions, and he's been on the hook for three losses. It wouldn't be surprising to see Joey Daccord take the No. 1 netminding role, at least in the short term -- he's won all three of his starts to open the 2024-25 campaign. Grubauer owns a 1-3-0 record, .881 save percentage and 3.10 GAA.
-
Justus Annunen COL G
Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Sturdy performance in win
1h agoAnnunen turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Seattle.
Annunen has now won consecutive games, and he's likely earned himself a larger share of the netminding workload as a result of Alexandar Georgiev's early-season struggles. Annunen has posted a 2-1-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.45 GAA across four appearances. The 24-year-old's next chance to extend his win streak to three will come in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.
-
Jeremy Swayman BOS G
Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Doesn't receive support Tuesday
1h agoSwayman gave up three goals on 41 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 6:04 left in the third period.
Swayman has lost his last three starts, including one in overtime, and he's posted a 2.99 GAA with a .909 save percentage during the recent skid. Things won't get easier for Swayman and the Bruins, with an upcoming matchup against the Stars set for Thursday. It's unclear if he'll remain between the pipes or if he'll get some rest.
-
Juuse Saros NSH G
Predators' Juuse Saros: Posts 33-save shutout
1h agoSaros stopped 33 shots in a 4-0 shutout win over the Bruins on Tuesday.
Saros delivered his best outing of the season Tuesday and lifted the Predators to their first win of the campaign. Despite starting the new season with four straight defeats, fantasy owners who drafted Saros shouldn't be concerned by his 1-4-0 record, as the skid was more a result of the Predators' poor overall play rather than Saros struggling between the pipes. Through five outings in 2024-25, Saros owns a 2.89 GAA and a .903 save percentage.
-
Jordan Binnington STL G
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Downed by Jets
2h agoBinnington turned aside 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Winnipeg.
The Jets dominated the second period, firing 14 shots at Binnington and beating him three times, and the Blues couldn't generate enough offense in the other two frames to make up for it. The 31-year-old netminder has a 1-3-0 record to begin the season with a 3.04 GAA and .891 save percentage, and Joel Hofer's hot start could lead to a timeshare in the St. Louis crease until Binnington steadies himself.
