MacKinnon scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

One of the helpers also came on the power play. MacKinnon had endured a three-game goal drought prior to Saturday, his longest scoring slump of the season. The 31-year-old superstar is up to 10 goals, 20 helpers, 66 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 18 appearances. His ability to be efficient on nearly four shots per game is what helps him maintain elite scoring numbers.

Necas scored twice and added two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

One of his goals and both of his assists came on the power play in a rare burst of success with the man advantage for the Avalanche. Necas had been limited to one helper over his first three outings in November. For the season, the 27-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 14 helpers, six power-play points, 38 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-11 rating over 18 appearances.

Bedard scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Bedard saw a seven-game point streak snapped by the Lightning on Thursday. He bounced back Saturday, but the rest of his teammates made little impact in one of the most lopsided contests of the season. Bedard has been excellent as usual so far with five goals, nine helpers, 36 shots on net, 11 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 12 outings in a top-line role.

Kotkaniemi notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Kotkaniemi has maintained some consistency on offense all season, but this was his first multi-point effort. He's earned two goals and two assists over four contests in November. The Finnish forward has five goals, five helpers, 20 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances on the year. He'll get to play in his native country with the Hurricanes set to face the Kraken for two games in Finland as part of the NHL Global Series.

Jarvis scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.

This was Jarvis' first goal since he scored in his season debut Oct. 22 versus the Oilers. The winger had gone two contests without a point prior to Saturday. He's at two goals, six assists, 15 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances on the year, working in a third-line role at even strength. The Hurricanes' deep offense should be enough to keep Jarvis productive most of the time.

Newhook scored twice Saturday in a 4-2 win over Toronto.

Both goals came in the first period, giving the Habs a 2-0 lead. Newhook is a first-round pick (2019) who has never really stepped into his draft predigree, but he does have a Stanley Cup ring (Colorado, 2021). He has nine points (five goals, four assists) in 17 games this season (17 shots), but four of those goals and one helper have come in his last five games. That's a significant feat for a fourth-line player.

Aho scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Aho was one of eight Hurricanes to earn multiple points, but he was the only one with three. The center has two goals and five helpers across four contests in November as he continues to have an impressive campaign. Overall, he's scored 10 goals and added 16 helpers while logging 54 shots on net, 15 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 19 appearances. He'll look to put on a show in his home country when the Hurricanes face the Kraken for a pair of games in Finland in the coming week.

Stamkos scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over St. Louis.

The veteran forward got Nashville on the board late in the first period, potting his 10th goal of the season after the puck squirted over to him during a scrum in front of Joel Hofer and caught the goalie out of position. It was Stamkos' first multi-point effort since Oct. 25, but he has yet to go two straight games in 2026-27 without getting onto the scoresheet. Through 17 contests, Stamkos is proving last season's resurgence wasn't just a dead cat bounce, racking up 19 points with over half of his production (six goals, five assists) coming on the power play.

Nugent-Hopkins took a puck to the side of the head in Saturday's game versus the Canucks, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports. Per the Sportsnet broadcast, the forward will not finish the game.

Nugent-Hopkins got hurt early in the second period, and while he tried to return, he was ultimately held out. He'll be considered day-to-day pending further evaluation ahead of Monday's game versus the Rangers.

Dubois scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over Florida.

The 28-year-old center gave the Capitals a 4-2 lead early in the third period after the Panthers turned the puck over while attempting to clear their own zone. The marker proved to be a crucial insurance tally when Florida scored inside the final minute of regulation. Dubois' goal was his first in six games since returning from an illness in late October, and on the season, he's produced two goals and nine points in 10 contests.
