Tim Washe C | ANA
Ducks' Tim Washe: Picks up three more points
Washe scored twice on four shots and added an assist in AHL San Diego's 6-4 win over Ontario on Friday.
Washe is up to five goals and five helpers over 10 games in the AHL. He's come along nicely in recent weeks, earning eight of his 10 points over his last five outings. The 24-year-old still needs to find some consistency, but he's showing his potential. However, the Ducks have the NHL's leading offense a month into the season and are unlikely to need to dip into their AHL depth unless injuries arise.

Mammoth's Cameron Hebig: Nets both goals in AHL loss
Hebig scored twice in AHL Tucson's 4-2 loss to Coachella Valley on Friday.
Hebig continues to impress for the Roadrunners, racking up seven goals and four assists over 11 games. He's earned six of those 11 points over his last four contests. The 28-year-old is a long shot to see NHL action, but he is doing all he can to put himself on the map with the minor-league team.

Nicolas Daws G | NJ
Devils' Nico Daws: Earns first shutout of AHL season
Daws posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Utica's 3-0 win over Belleville on Friday.
Daws has gone 2-2-0 with a 1.51 GAA and a .942 save percentage over four games with Utica. He also won his lone NHL appearance while with the Devils during the absence of Jacob Markstrom, who battled a lower-body injury in October. Daws is brimming with potential should he get another extended look in the NHL at some point despite bumpy numbers over the last two AHL campaigns.

Travis Boyd C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Travis Boyd: Erupts for four points in AHL win
Boyd scored twice and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-2 win over Hershey on Friday.
Boyd was once with Hershey while in the Capitals' organization, so this might have been a bit of a revenge game for the veteran forward. He's up to seven goals and four assists over nine outings in 2025-26. Boyd is playing well with the Marlies, but his path to the NHL is closed unless the Maple Leafs need to replenish their bottom-six forward depth at some point down the line.

Michael DiPietro G | BOS
Bruins' Michael DiPietro: Remains undefeated in AHL this year
DiPietro stopped 42 of 43 shots in AHL Providence's 2-1 win over Cleveland on Friday.
DiPietro has been superb for Providence so far, going 6-0-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .929 save percentage in six starts. The 26-year-old is doing everything he can to force the Bruins' hands for a call-up, but there's no room for him in the NHL when both Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo are healthy and playing well. At this point, DiPietro could be a trade chip for Boston to dangle in front of a team looking to upgrade its goaltending depth.

Brandon Gorzynski C | DAL
Stars' Brandon Gorzynski: Scores twice Friday in WHL win
Gorzynski scored two goals in WHL Calgary's 6-2 win over Swift Current on Friday.
Gorzynski has been limited to a goal and three assists since his last two-goal game versus Edmonton on Oct. 26. The 18-year-old is up to nine goals, seven helpers and 52 shots on net through 15 appearances this season for the Hitmen. He's already over halfway to matching his goal total (17) from the 2024-25 regular season, so it's clear his offense has taken a step up since he was selected in the fourth round by the Stars in June.

Lynden Lakovic LW | WAS
Capitals' Lynden Lakovic: Adds to WHL goal lead
Lakovic scored twice and added an assist in WHL Moose Jaw's 6-5 win over Saskatoon.
Lakovic is up to 16 goals in as many games, putting him three tallies ahead of the next closest WHL skater. This was his fifth multi-goal effort of the season, and he has an active nine-game point streak for the Warriors. Lakovic's at 23 points this season, so it appears his playmaking is taking a step back while his goal-scoring continues on at a breakneck pace.

Bryce Pickford D | MON
Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Goal, assist Friday in WHL play
Pickford scored a goal on six shots and added an assist in WHL Medicine Hat's 4-3 shootout loss to Edmonton.
Pickford has logged five multi-point efforts this season, including three over his last seven games. He's at eight goals, eight helpers, 64 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 16 outings for Medicine Hat this season. The 19-year-old blueliner is showing consistency for the second year in a row, and his big shot from the blue line could be a plus as he continues his development.

Josh Morrissey D | WPG
Jets' Josh Morrissey: Scores lone goal in loss
Morrissey scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
Morrissey buried a quick shot off a faceoff win at 12:34 of the first period. The Jets held that 1-0 lead for all of 1:12 before Macklin Celebrini tied the game, which then settled into a stalemate until Will Smith's third-period tally tipped it in favor of the Sharks. Morrissey has gotten on the scoresheet in six of the last seven games, and in total, he has two goals, 10 assists, 25 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 14 appearances. He'll continue to be one of the most reliable scoring blueliners in fantasy while playing on a strong team.

Connor Hellebuyck G | WPG
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Yields two goals in loss
Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 27 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.
Hellebuyck did his part to keep things close, but the Jets weren't at their best and delivered a lackluster showing on offense. He's allowed four goals on 52 shots while losing the first two games of this road trip, but the Jets have scored just once in those contests. For the year, Hellebuyck is at a 6-5-0 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 11 starts. The Jets have an even tougher task ahead when they visit the NHL's leading offense, the Ducks, on Sunday.
