Perfetti scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Perfetti scored a goal for the first time since Nov. 29, when he found the back of the net in a 5-2 victory over the Predators. With only four points (one goal, three assists) since the beginning of December, Perfetti shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside despite holding a top-six role in a Jets team that has lost 10 games in a row.

Hertl recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Hertl snapped a two-game pointless streak with a solid performance across the board, and this was his first multi-point effort since he recorded three points in a loss to the Oilers on Dec. 21. Hertl has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 16 appearances since the beginning of December, and the 32-year-old will continue to have tons of opportunities to produce in a high-scoring offense despite holding a bottom-six role. Hertl's third-line role shows how stacked the Golden Knghts are on offense.

Jarvis tallied a power-play goal, dished out a power-play assist, fired six shots on net and recorded four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

In his return from a rib injury that has kept him sidelined since Dec. 20, Jarvis showcased the fire that was likely lit under him after not being selected for Team Canada's roster ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Both of his points Tuesday came at a man advantage, with his goal putting the Hurricanes up 5-1 in the second period. Overall, the 23-year-old rising star is up to 20 goals, 11 assists, 116 shots on net and 47 hits through 35 games this season. With there being a decent chance that Jarvis would be considered to join Team Canada as a potential injury replacement, he will likely put forth everything he has at the NHL level in hopes of impressing the coaching staff. Regardless of his chase to be an Olympian, he remains on a strong enough pace to reach the 60-plus point mark for the third consecutive season despite missing over two weeks.

Stankoven netted a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Stankoven landed a jab against his former team with a goal near the end of the first period to put Carolina up 3-1. Following Tuesday's twine finder, he now has eight goals, 19 points and 90 shots on net through 43 appearances this season. After a five-game scoreless streak that took him from the end of the calendar year into 2026, the 22-year-old center now has a three-game point streak that features two goals. While he's just behind the necessary point pace to reach his total from a season ago, his potential for growth, steady amount of power-play time and decent shot volume are all reasons to keep an eye on him in deep fantasy leagues in the second half of the campaign.

Barzal had one goal and two assists in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

Even though several bottom-six forwards turned heads with their play for the Islanders in this blowout win, Barzal also made his presence felt with a three-point effort. He's posted back-to-back multi-point efforts and has six points over his last four games. On the season, the star 28-year-old playmaker has 35 points (11 goals, 24 assists) in 42 contests.

Cizikas recorded two goals and an assist in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

Cizikas was one of the top offensive players for the Islanders in this game, but that's an oddity since the 34-year-old veteran isn't known for his fantasy contributions. In fact, this was the first time he cracked the scoresheet since Dec. 9, when he recorded an assist in a loss to the Golden Knights. Cizikas has 11 points on the season (fve goals, six assists), and as a bottom-six forward, he's not expected to carry a ton of upside even if he has games like this from time to time.

Carrier scored a goal, put three shots on net, served four PIM and had four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Carrier tallied the lone goal of the third period for Carolina in response to the Stars' tally at the start of the period. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and 89 hits through 36 outings this season. While his blend of stats might not warrant consideration in fantasy outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, his impact on the Canes' fourth line has been solid. He is just two points shy of matching his total of 11 during his first season with the Hurricanes, giving him plenty of time down the stretch to surpass that total and push for the third 20-plus point, 100-plus hit season of his career.

McGroarty was designated for injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Wednesday.

According to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, McGroarty left practice Tuesday after colliding with a teammate before leaving the session. The Penguins haven't provided any sort of update regarding the nature or severity of the 21-year-old winger's injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games now.

Ehlers recorded three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Ehlers played a hand in each of the last three goals scored by Carolina to help close out the big win. With the trio of helpers, he is up to 23 assists, 34 points and 102 shots on net through 43 games this season. The 29-year-old winger has built up a four-game point streak that features three goals and five assists. The Hurricanes' top line has been the most efficient point-scoring line since Dec. 17, with Ehlers, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov combining for 46 points. Not only does Ehlers hold 60-plus point potential this season, but he has a solid chance to set a new career high in points if he can surpass the 64 tallies he posted in 82 regular-season games with the Winnipeg Jets during the 2016-17 campaign.

Connor recorded a goal and took two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Connor has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and while the Jets have been struggling of late, the star winger remains productive. During the Jets' ongoing 10-game losing streak, Connor has recorded nine points (five goals and four assists). On the season, the star winger has a team-high 49 points (20 goals, 29 assists) in 41 regular-season games.

Stone scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Stone has found the back of the net in five straight games, and he remains a dominant scoring weapon for a Golden Knights offense that continues to find ways to produce. Stone missed 16 games due to injury between Oct. 20 and Nov. 24, but he's looked excellent since returning to the ice. In his 19 games since he was activated from the injured list, the 33-year-old winger has posted 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) and a plus-4 rating.

Svechnikov tallied four assists, including one on a power play, placed two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Svechnikov's offensive hot streak continued Tuesday as he distributed an assist on two-thirds of the team's six goals. He assisted both of K'Andre Miller's tallies as well as power-play goals scored by Shayne Gostisbehere and Seth Jarvis, respectively. Overall, the 25-year-old Svechnikov is up to 23 assists, 35 points, 121 shots on net and 72 hits through 43 games this season. Since Dec. 17, he has 17 points in 11 games, which is tied with his linemate Sebastian Aho for the third-most points across the league in that span. Svechnikov is well on his way to a bounce-back campaign in most significant stat categories while skating in a major role on Carolina's top line. The third 60-plus point season of his eight-year NHL career could be in play at his current point pace.

DeAngelo had one goal and two assists in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

This is the third time DeAngelo has posted at least two straight games with points, and this three-point output was a season-best mark for the 30-year-old. As good as he looked in this dominant win, DeAngelo plays in the second defensive pairing, so he's not expected to be a regular fantasy contributor going forward even if he's going through a productive stretch.

Gostisbehere scored a power-play goal, placed four shots on net and recorded three blocks in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Gostisbehere found the back of the net with a man advantage just under 14 minutes into the opening period. With the twine finder, he is up to five goals, 30 points, 55 shots on net and 35 blocks over 31 games this season. While he scored on a power play Tuesday, the 32-year-old blueliner has actually been much stronger at even strength this season, in spite of the fact that many believe his value exists solely on the power play. Nearly a point-per-game player this season, Gostisbehere checks many boxes in fantasy and should continue to see work in Carolina's top defensive pair when healthy.

Miller scored two goals, distributed an assist and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Miller caught fire in the early stages of Tuesday's contest. He scored the opening goal nearly seven minutes into the first period before grabbing the primary helper on Logan Stankoven's goal later on. Just five minutes after the start of the second, Miller scored his second goal of the night to secure his second multi-goal game of the season. Overall, the 25-year-old blueliner has four goals, 15 assists, 59 shots on net, 47 hits and 36 blocks through 35 games this season. He now has six points in as many games and is above the pace needed for the third 30-plus point season of his career. Miller's move to Carolina has rejuvenated his offensive prowess, giving him a point ceiling near his career high of 43 tallies in 79 regular-season games during the 2022-23 season. This fact, combined with his solid package of category-coverage stats, makes him a solid fantasy option in nearly all league formats.

Solovyov notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

The helper was Solovyov's first point in 11 appearances for the Avalanche, who claimed him off waivers from the Flames before the start of the season. He's played in consecutive contests, filling in for Devon Toews (upper body), who is expected to be out at least a couple of weeks. The Avalanche haven't shown a lot of trust in Solovyov, but with injuries plaguing their forward group as well, they may not have the flexibility to bring up a defenseman to challenge Solovyov's spot in the lineup.

Lohrei scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Kraken.

Lohrei has a goal and three helpers over his last six games. The 24-year-old defenseman is getting active on offense despite a third-pairing role, and he should have a path to power-play time while Hampus Lindholm (undisclosed) is on injured reserve. Lohrei is up to three goals, 17 points, 34 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances this season.

Dunn logged two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

This was Dunn's first multi-point effort since Dec. 10 against the Kings. He's been productive lately, especially on the power play -- he has earned nine points, including eight on the power play, over his last 13 contests. For the season, the defenseman is at 23 points (13 with the man advantage), 88 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 40 appearances in his usual top-four role.

Bussi turned aside 19 of 22 shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Bussi allowed just one power-play goal in the first period before Carolina's offense put the game out of reach for Dallas, who wouldn't score on Bussi again until the third. With the win, he now has a 15-2-1 record with a 2.25 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. After losing on New Year's Day, the 27-year-old netminder has won back-to-back starts, which has moved him into a tie for 10th across the league in wins. He is silently making a push to enter the Calder Trophy conversation with his dominant numbers in net for the No. 1 seed in the Metropolitan Division. With Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) out for the season and Frederik Andersen struggling to find the win column, Bussi is a must-add player in nearly all fantasy formats and should command the bulk of starts for Carolina moving forward.

DeSmith halted 16 of 17 shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.

DeSmith was called upon to make his return to the lineup earlier than expected, as he entered the game following the fifth goal of the night allowed by Jake Oettinger. DeSmith played well in the relief effort, as he gave up just one tally midway through the third period. Overall, the 34-year-old goalie still has a 9-2-4 record, but now holds a .913 save percentage and a 2.41 GAA over 16 appearances this season. Despite Oettinger's rough outing Tuesday, he firmly holds the starting job over DeSmith, despite the latter's strong numbers on a solid volume of starts. Regardless, DeSmith remains one of the best backups in the NHL and provides excellent value as a spot start in nearly all fantasy formats. His next chance to hit the ice is Wednesday against the Capitals.

Oettinger stopped 10 of 15 shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Oettinger struggled immensely in the first 26 minutes of Tuesday's contest, as he allowed five goals, including two in a 102-second span to lead to his benching. Following Tuesday's loss, the 27-year-old netminder now has a 16-8-4 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. After one of the strongest starts to the 2025-26 campaign among goalies across the league, Oettinger has lost each of his last four outings and has posted a 4.55 GAA. His recent struggles are noteworthy and could lead to a few extra starts for DeSmith, but this rough patch is likely just a hiccup amidst a long season for one of the league's most consistent netminders over the last six seasons. Oettinger's next chance to bounce back is Wednesday in the nation's capital.

Hellebuyck was tagged with the overtime loss in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime defeat against the Golden Knights after stopping 27 of 31 shots.

Hellebuyck is riding a nine-game losing streak, going 0-5-4 with a 3.0 GAA and a subpar .878 save percentage over that stretch. The 32-year-old is a shell of the dominant netminder he was in the 2024-25 season, and given the Jets' recent struggles, it wouldn't be odd if fantasy managers start looking at alternatives to replace Hellebuyck, even if it's on a matchup-based perspective for now.

Hart stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Hart defended the Golden Knights' crease after not playing in the 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday, and he managed to get back to winning ways after dropping his previous three outings (0-2-1). Hart has made 11 appearances this season, and while the results have been uneven thanks to a 5-3-3 record, he doesn't carry a lot of appeal in fantasy, mainly due to his .874 save percentage on 278 shots faced.

Sorokin posted a 44-save shutout in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.

Sorokin delivered an impressive shutout by making a season-high 44 saves -- the previous season-high output was a 35-save performance against the Avalanche in a 6-3 win Dec. 4. Sorokin didn't need to be as dominant as he was in this game, however, as the Islanders' offense provided him with enough support after scoring nine goals. This was Sorokin's first start since missing time due to a lower-body injury that caused him to be sidelined for seven contests.
