Jarry stopped all 24 shots he faced in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Jarry recorded his first shutout of the season and the 24th of his NHL career, rebounding from Monday's shootout loss to Detroit. Edmonton limited Calgary's scoring opportunities, allowing the veteran netminder to deliver a relatively comfortable victory. The shutout should boost his confidence, and the Oilers' strong start to the campaign gives Jarry considerable fantasy upside as the team's undisputed No. 1 as long as Devon Levi (undisclosed) and Frederik Andersen (knee) remain sidelined. Jarry owns a 2.95 GAA and an .883 save percentage this season.

Ekholm scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Ekholm returned after missing two games with a concussion and immediately contributed, beating Dustin Wolf with a point shot early in the second period. The veteran defenseman has two goals this season, and his return strengthens Edmonton's blue line at both ends of the ice. His offensive involvement provides useful fantasy value, particularly in formats that reward shots and blocked shots.

Kapanen scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Kapanen extended Edmonton's lead to 3-0 just 55 seconds into the third period, converting a cross-crease feed from Connor McDavid for his fourth goal of the season. The winger continues to benefit from opportunities alongside Edmonton's elite playmakers, and his involvement on the power play adds another avenue for fantasy production. However, his limited shot volume could make consistent scoring difficult to sustain. He's yet to find the back of the net in consecutive games, and this goal actually snapped a four-game goal drought.

Wolf stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers after replacing an injured Devin Cooley (lower body).

Wolf entered after Cooley sustained a lower-body injury late in the first period and surrendered three goals over the final two frames. Cooley's injury could create additional starting opportunities for Wolf, but his performances this season have been far from encouraging. While Cooley was the starter during the Flames' recent four-game winning streak, Wolf owns a 4.81 GAA and an .839 save percentage across six appearances this season.

Raddysh notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

This was Raddysh's first multi-point effort of the season. The 30-year-old defenseman is seeing top billing at even strength and on the power play, but he's still adjusting to Toronto after his breakout year with the Lightning in 2025-26. Raddysh has eight helpers, 33 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances. The shot volume is the key here -- while he's not shooting as much as last year, he's still getting enough looks to believe that his luck will take a positive turn as the season progresses.

Roslovic scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

Roslovic's point streak is up to five games (three goals, six helpers). The 29-year-old is thriving on the Maple Leafs' top line, where he's meshed well with Auston Matthews, and in this game, Gavin McKenna. Roslovic has a total of six goals, nine assists, 38 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 15 appearances. He can succeed in the right situations, and that's exactly what he's got this year in Toronto.

Matthews scored a goal on four shots and added two power-play assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

Matthews was united with Gavin McKenna on the top line and first power-play unit for this game. It worked wonders for both players -- they each notched three points despite the loss. Matthews has been a steady contributor early in the season with 10 goals, 13 assists, 44 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-6 rating over 15 appearances. That puts him on pace for more than 50 goals, a mark he hasn't reached since the 2023-24 campaign, when he scored a career-high 69 times.

McKenna scored two power-play goals, dished an assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

McKenna received a promotion to the top line and first power-play unit for this contest, and it paid off. This was the first three-point game of his career and just his second multi-point effort. He's up to five goals, six assists, 26 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances. McKenna's short-term production could get a big boost if his assignment alongside Auston Matthews lasts longer than one game.

Bobrovsky stopped 12 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

Bobrovsky has had a few shaky performances this season, but this was as bad as it's been. He's lost both of his starts during the Maple Leafs' current road trip. The 38-year-old netminder is now at a 3-5-2 record with a 3.29 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 10 starts. Toronto paid up to get Bobrovsky on a three-year, $21 million contract in the summer, but the early returns haven't matched the price tag. The Maple Leafs wrap up this trip in Vancouver on Saturday.

Samoskevich registered two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Samoskevich has been steady lately, earning two goals and two assists over his last four games. The 23-year-old forward is seeing middle-six minutes with the Kraken, including a steady power-play role. He's up to five goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances. Samoskevich will likely get a chance to help fill the void created by the long-term absence of Jared McCann (lower body).
