Wennberg had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Buffalo on Tuesday.

His goal came on the power play. It cut the score to 5-3 early in the third frame. Wennberg is having his best offensive season since he set a career mark with 59 points back in 2016-17. He has 13 goals and 28 assists in 62 games. Tuesday's game was Wennberg's first multi-point game since Jan. 6.

McLeod had three assists in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

McLeod has four assists over his last two games and six points, including five assists, over his last five games. His 48 points (12 goals, 36 assists) in 65 games put McLeod on pace for his first-ever 60-point season. He's been a strong fit on the second line, and his leadership has been in invaluable to the Sabres.

Barron scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Barron has three goals on nine shots over his last three contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring Tuesday, but the Ducks took control with two goals in a span of 14 seconds just over a minute after Barron scored. Barron has 10 goals, 20 points, 84 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-7 rating through 54 appearances this season. He's one goal and one point shy of matching his career highs in each category.

Washe scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Washe earned his first goal since Jan. 16 versus the Kings. The 24-year-old is currently filling a fourth-line role, so there's not a lot of fantasy value to gather from his play. He's put up two goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 48 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 21 appearances with the Ducks this season.

Poehling scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, logged three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Poehling has four points over his last four contests. The 27-year-old has made a good impression in his first year with the Ducks, and that earned him a four-year contract extension last week. Poehling is up to eight goals, 27 points, 68 shots on net, 31 hits, 64 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 57 appearances. He's well on his way to topping his 31-point total from 68 games with the Flyers last year, but he's no more than a depth option in fantasy.

Goncalves (lower body) scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Columbus.

It was his first game back after missing four contests due to a lower-body injury, and his hands looked great. Goncalves tipped a Victor Hedman shot in the slot that went over Elvis Merzlikins' left shoulder. It was Goncalves' eighth goal of the season, which matched his career mark, and it set a new career high in points with 21.

Colton sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Oilers.

Colton was missing from the bench in the second period and ultimately got ruled out during the third. He scored a goal in the opening minute, snapping a nine-game point drought with his eighth tally of the season. More information on Colton's status should be available prior to the start of the Avalanche's two-game road trip, which kicks off in Seattle on Thursday.

Eichel scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Eichel has scored in consecutive contests and has a point in four of the last five games. He opened the scoring Tuesday, but the Golden Knights were unable to solve Jake Oettinger again. Eichel is up to 23 goals, 72 points, 208 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 57 appearances this season. A late surge could allow him to get to the 30-goal mark for the third time in his career, but it's far from a lock to happen.

Back scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Back ended a 14-game goal drought when he tied the game at 1-1 in the middle of the second period. The 25-year-old has a goal and an assist over his last two outings, so he's starting to chip in a bit more from the fourth line. He's at five goals, 10 points, 29 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 21 hits and a plus-6 rating over 54 appearances, making it unlikely he'll be a consistent depth scorer.

Monahan delivered two assists in a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Monahan has six points in his last six games (two goals, four assists; 19 shots); he put up points in five of those six. It was his first two-point game since Jan. 8. Monahan's leadership is helping the team climb the standings; they are just two points out of a wild-card spot.
