  • Ross Colton C | NSH

    Predators' Ross Colton: Goals in three straight games

    Colton scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

    Colton's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old has started November on a heater with three goals and an assist over three contests this month. For the season, he's at five tallies, three assists, 25 shots on net, 39 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances, which is solid production given his bottom-six assignment.

  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Big three-point outburst in OT win

    Guentzel had two goals and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday. He fired seven shots.

    One goal and the assist came on the power play. Guentzel has four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two games, and he has picked up at least one point in six of his last seven games (six goals, three assists; 26 shots). Overall, Guentzel has 18 points including 10 snipes, in 16 games this season and is on pace for his first 50-goal campaign. Of course, a possible trade of line mate Nikita Kucherov would almost certainly slow his pace, but Guentzel's production isn't simply tied to his star line mates.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Puts away goal in loss

    Bennett scored a goal on four shots and added three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.

    Bennett has two goals over three games in November. He's looking for more consistency after a relatively unimpressive October, aside from a hat trick versus the Kraken on Oct. 17. The physical center is at five goals, three assists, 43 shots on net, 35 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances this season, mainly in a top-six role.

  • Max Sasson C | VAN

    Canucks' Max Sasson: Tallies in loss

    Sasson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

    Sasson has scored three times over his last seven games. The 26-year-old is up to five goals, two helpers, 19 shots on net, 11 hits, 13 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 19 contests on the year. Sasson offers a little depth scoring in the Canucks' bottom six, but that usage makes it likely he'll be inconsistent on a game-to-game basis.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: No slowing down

    McDavid registered three assists (one on the power play) and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

    McDavid has opened November with 10 points over four contests. The 29-year-old superstar just isn't slowing down on offense as he sets a blistering pace that will make it hard for anyone in the league to catch up to. He's on an 18-game point streak, earning 10 goals, 37 helpers (19 on the power play), 49 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-22 rating. McDavid isn't on a career-best goal pace, but he is more than making up for it with assists.

  • Oilers' Jason Dickinson: Deposits goal in win

    Dickinson scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

    Dickinson has scored twice over his last five games. He's up to two goals, two assists, eight shots, 18 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through nine outings this season. Dickinson should fill a middle-six role when he's in the lineup, though he has already had a pair of injury absences in 2026-27, which could make availability tough to count on for the veteran center.

  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Adds three points in win

    Draisaitl scored twice on seven goals, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    Draisaitl's first goal came on the power play, and his second was an empty-netter. The 31-year-old has four goals and six helpers during his five-game point streak. For the season, he's up to 16 goals, 18 assists, 12 power-play points, 70 shots and a plus-17 rating over 18 appearances. Draisaitl should be a fixture in all fantasy lineups.

  • Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Distributes three assists in win

    Malkin logged three assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

    Malkin's move to the top line with Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell proved fruitful. The 40-year-old Malkin missed Tuesday's game versus the Golden Knights due to a lower-body issue, but for now, it appears to have just been a minor thing. He's having a pretty good campaign so far with six goals, eight helpers, three power-play points, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 15 appearances.

  • Tommy Novak C | PIT

    Penguins' Thomas Novak: Pots pair of goals in win

    Novak scored twice in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

    Novak has a trio of multi-point efforts over his last four games. He was bumped off the top line Saturday for Evgeni Malkin, but Novak's ability to produce away from Sidney Crosby is a positive sign. On the year, Novak has seven goals, seven helpers, 29 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 17 appearances. He's been productive enough to warrant a look in standard fantasy formats.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Sixth in NHL history for points

    Crosby scored twice on three shots, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

    Crosby's first goal broke a tie with former Kings legend Marcel Dionne for sixth place in points in NHL history. Crosby had come up empty in his previous two games. The 39-year-old superstar is up to six tallies, six assists, 31 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 17 outings this season. He'll continue to lead the way for the Penguins as the team's top-line center.
