O'Reilly notched two assists (one on the power play), fired two shots on goal and blocked three shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.

O'Reilly saw a five-game point streak snapped in Tuesday's win over the Hurricanes. He bounced back with his third multi-point effort of the season to help the Predators notch a third straight win. The veteran center is up to seven goals, 10 assists, 29 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 16 appearances in a top-line role.

Pinchuk scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.

Pinchuk's first NHL was a beauty, a spinning backhand that got over Mackenzie Blackwood in the first period. The 24-year-old Pinchuk has played the last two games due to the absence of Jonathan Marchessault (lower body). Pinchuk has two points, seven shots and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances to begin his NHL career. If he can build some confidence and momentum, he'll be able to stick around on Nashville's third line.

Colton scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.

Colton's recent run of offense was sparked with a helper against his former team in a 6-2 win Oct. 25. He's earned three goals and two assists over his last six games, and that includes his opening tally in his return to Denver on Thursday. The 30-year-old is up to seven points, 23 shots on net, 38 hits, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 16 outings while primarily filling a bottom-six role.

Stamkos scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.

Stamkos' tally came in overtime to give the Predators a third straight win, all against fairly tough opponents. The 36-year-old has scored twice over those games. He's up to nine goals, 17 points, 39 shots on net, 10 hits, six PIM and a minus-5 rating across 16 appearances. Stamkos should remain productive as long as he's in a top-six role, which is unlikely to change any time soon.

Nugent-Hopkins notched two power-play assists and four PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.

This was Nugent-Hopkins' fourth multi-point effort over the last five games. The playmaking forward has hit the ground running after recovering from a lower-body injury that sidelined him early in the campaign. He has four goals, seven assists, seven power-play points, 16 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through eight appearances.

Draisaitl scored a goal on six shots and added a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.

Draisaitl has two goals and five helpers during his four-game point streak. The 31-year-old superstar is up to 14 goals, 17 helpers, 63 shots on net and a plus-16 rating over 17 appearances. The Oilers' top players have been virtually unstoppable so far -- keep Draisaitl firmly in your lineups.

McDavid scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and added three assists (two on the power play) in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Ducks.

This was McDavid's fifth game of at least four points already this season. The 29-year-old superstar's point streak is up to 17 games, with 10 goals and 34 assists in the season-opening surge. There really aren't enough superlatives for what he's done in 2026-27 -- fantasy managers who took him first overall must feel like they won the jackpot.

Carlsson notched a pair of power-play assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

Carlsson got back on the multi-point train, earning his fifth such effort during his six-game point streak. He has three goals and 10 assists in that span. The 21-year-old center is up to five goals, 19 helpers, 16 power-play points, 26 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances.

Thomas scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.

Thomas has two goals and three assists over his last four outings. The top-line center has had a bit of spotty offense over the first month-plus of the season, but his overall usage hasn't been affected. He's at three goals, eight assists, 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. Thomas is a fine second option at center in fantasy, especially for managers chasing helpers.

McTavish scored a goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist, logged two hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.

McTavish's hot start to the season had worn off with a five-game point drought. His line got shuffled up, with Aleksanteri Kaskimaki joining on the opposite wing from Connor McMichael. With the offense sparked again, McTavish will look to focus on consistency moving forward. He has seven goals, five helpers, 47 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-4 rating over 16 appearances to begin his time with the Blues.
