Eichel had two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Eichel was skating in his 700th career game and delivered another multi-point effort, his sixth in 10 contests this year. The 29-year-old crossed the 700-point mark in his career during the season opener, showcasing his effectiveness over a decade-plus of action. In 2026-27, he's racked up five goals, 13 helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-8 rating.

Howden scored an empty-net goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Howden was obstructed on his way to an empty net, leading to an awarded goal. He did not record a shot on goal during the contest. He's scored in three straight games and is up to four goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 10 appearances. At his best, Howden is an effective agitator with a scoring touch, giving him some appeal as a depth option in fantasy.

Hanifin scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Hanifin's offense is coming around -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight contests. The 29-year-old defenseman has seen a slightly smaller role than in previous years, as the Golden Knights have a strong defense and have to spread the minutes around. Hanifin's at four points, 13 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 10 outings.

Andersson scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Andersson has picked up two goals and two assists over his last four games. The 29-year-old blueliner is picking up the pace on offense after a slow start to the year, and he's firmly in a top-four role with power-play time. On the year, Andersson has produced five points, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 10 contests. He should continue to offer decent totals in points, shots, blocks and PIM.

Theodore scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Theodore had started the season well, but he followed it up with a seven-game slump. The 31-year-old defenseman ended his drought with a second-period tally. Theodore has two goals, two helpers, 20 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 10 appearances -- he's been part of the Golden Knights' early success despite the lack of individual production.

Connelly scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Connelly has earned five points over his last five outings. The 20-year-old rookie has picked up three of those points on the power play as he continues to play on the top unit with the man advantage. Through his first 10 NHL games, Connelly has four goals, three assists, 20 shots on net and a minus-1 rating. He probably won't sustain this rate of production all year, but he's definitely getting into the conversation for fantasy.

Stone scored a power-play goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Stone has logged seven points over his last three contests. The 34-year-old earned all three of his points Saturday in the first period as the Golden Knights took control early. He's up to seven goals, seven helpers, 20 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-9 rating through 10 appearances to start the season. As long as he's healthy, Stone will likely be productive.

Hill stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Hill has won all four of his starts this season, and he's allowed just nine total goals on 96 shots. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't made a serious threat to Carter Hart's No. 1 status, but Hill has been a reliable backup. A somewhat even timeshare could emerge if both netminders remain in good form. The Golden Knights' next game is at home versus the Lightning on Tuesday, which will be a test for whichever goalie gets that start.

Laferriere scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

Laferriere has done well in a top-six role so far this season, earning two goals and two assists over six contests. That comes with the caveat that the Kings have scored just 12 goals. Laferriere has added 11 shots on net, 18 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He has plenty of fantasy potential as a power forward, especially once the Kings' offense improves as a whole.

Forsberg stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Forsberg put in a decent effort, but the Kings didn't give him enough help. He's now allowed seven goals on 60 shots over three appearances (two starts) this season. The light schedule hasn't helped the Kings get on track -- they've had at least two days off between each game so far. That will change as they head on the road for five games over eight games, beginning against the Capitals on Tuesday. With a back-to-back to close out the trip, Forsberg should get at least one start and likely two during the trip if Darcy Kuemper continues to struggle.
