Scheifele scored a goal on three shots and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Scheifele was instrumental in Winnipeg's offensive success, setting up Cole Perfetti's opening goal before scoring his first tally of the season later in the first period. He also assisted on Perfetti's power-play marker in the second, finishing with a plus-2 rating across 16:19 of ice time. Scheifele has continued to develop strong chemistry with Perfetti and Kyle Connor on the Jets' top line, and his prominent offensive role should keep him highly productive in fantasy formats.

Perfetti scored two goals, including one on the power play, on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Perfetti was one of Winnipeg's most productive offensive players, recording a pair of goals while finishing with a plus-1 rating. The winger logged 16:13 of ice time, including 2:31 on the power play, and his four shots tied for the team's lead, highlighting his involvement in the Jets' offensive attack. Perfetti's combination of scoring ability and power-play opportunities gives him considerable upside in most fantasy formats.

Verhaeghe scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over Columbus.

After Brady Tkachuk has erased a 1-0 deficit with a natural hat trick to begin the second period, Verhaeghe made it 4-1 by tapping home a slick cross-ice feed from the younger Tkachuk brother. It was Verhaeghe's first multi-point effort of the season, and through seven games he's produced three goals and an assist as he looks to put together his fifth straight campaign with 20-plus goals and 50-plus points.

Reinhart scored two goals, one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Both tallies came in the third period as the Panthers put the game away. Reinhart failed to record a point in the first five games of the season, but he's come to life with back-to-back multi-point efforts in which he's racked up four goals and an assist, with Tuesday's empty-netter being his first point of the season that didn't come with the man advantage.

Beaudoin was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Beaudoin will trade places with Justin Dowling, who was called up in a corresponding move. While the 20-year-old has moved up and down between levels recently, he's only appeared in four games for the club and logged just 3:29 of ice time versus the Lightning on Tuesday. This move will allow Beaudoin to see significantly more minutes in the minors, which should further his development more than sitting on the bench with the Rangers.

Dowling was summoned from AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Dowling had a goal and an assist in four regular-season appearances with AHL Hartford in 2026-27. The 36-year-old also has nine goals and 26 points in 154 career regular-season NHL games.

Finnie delivered a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.

The Red Wings' second line carried their offense on the night, as Finnie, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and Alex DeBrincat potted all four goals and combined for seven points. It was Finnie's first multi-point performance of the season, and after managing 13 goals and 30 points in 82 regular-season games in his NHL debut last season, the 21-year-old has two goals and three points through the first six contests in 2026-27.

Crosby recorded two goals and placed two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Chicago.

Crosby shook off his slow goal-scoring start to the 2026-27 campaign with a pair of tallies for Frozen Frenzy. He found the back of the net just under seven minutes into the opening period to level the score at one apiece before he tied the game in the third amid the Penguins' comeback effort. While they ultimately fell just short, Crosby's performance could spark him into reclaiming his point pace from season's prior. Overall, he's up to two goals, four points, 18 shots on net, six hits and three blocked shots across seven outings. He remains a high-level fantasy option given his role for the team and his 90-point ceiling 22 seasons into his illustrious career.

Frondell distributed two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

Frondell's hot start to the 2026-27 campaign continued Tuesday, as he logged his third multi-point game of the season by providing a pair of helpers. Each of his assists were primary passes, and he distributed one to each of his linemates, Teuvo Tervainen and Tyler Bertuzzi. Overall, the 19-year-old Frondell has a goal, six points, 11 shots on net, eight hits and four blocked shots across seven appearances. He's carried the momentum he generated at the end of last season into the new campaign, as he's done anything you could ask of a second-line center. While he'll battle Frank Nazar (suspension) for that role upon his return, Frondell's ceiling continues to grow with each multi-point game, making him an excellent stash or streaming option in fantasy moving forward.

Bedard tallied a power-play assist, posted a plus-1 rating and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Bedard wasted no time getting involved offensively upon his return, as he tapped a one-timed pass quickly towards his linemate Roman Kantserov, who unleashed a slapshot that hit twine on a first-period power play. It was an encouraging sign to see the 21-year-old Bedard log 21:06 of ice time Tuesday, as it appears his surgically-repaired shoulder isn't going to limit his playing time. As the team's top-line center at even strength and on the power play, Bedard is poised for another big year in fantasy during the 2026-27 campaign, where he'll look to challenge his career high of 75 points, which he compiled across 69 regular-season games a year ago.
