Jonny Brodzinski C | NYR
Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Slides pair of helpers
Brodzinski notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.
Brodzinski set up goals by Taylor Raddysh and Vincent Trocheck in this contest. With three points over his last two games, Brodzinski has positioned himself well to stay in the lineup over Conor Sheary. Brodzinski is at eight points, 30 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating through 24 appearances this season.

Hendrix Lapierre C | WAS
Capitals' Hendrix Lapierre: Ends slump with helper
Lapierre notched an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.
Lapierre recently missed two games -- one due to an illness, the other a healthy scratch. That scratch was likely a long time coming, as his assist Tuesday ended an 11-game point drought. The 23-year-old remains in a fourth-line role when he plays, and he's at six helpers, 26 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating through 34 appearances, down from eight assists in 27 regular-season games a year ago.

Ridly Greig C | OTT
Senators' Ridly Greig: Adds goal in overtime loss
Greig scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Greig has a goal and three helpers over his last seven games. The 23-year-old continues to play in a third-line role while Shane Pinto (lower body) is out. Greig has 12 points, 51 shots on net, 39 hits, 43 PIM, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 31 appearances this season.

Tim Stutzle LW | OTT
Senators' Tim Stutzle: Pots power-play tally
Stutzle scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Stutzle scored for the third game in a row, and he's earned seven goals and eight assists during an eight-game point streak. He's picked up seven power-play points and a shorthanded goal in that span, so he's getting things done in all situations. The 23-year-old is at 18 tallies, 21 helpers, 93 shots on net, 61 hits, 26 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 36 appearances. He's finished above a point-per-game pace once in the first five years of his career, when he had 39 goals and 90 points in 2022-23, and this is as close as he's been to that level in the last three seasons.

Josh Dunne C | BUF
Sabres' Josh Dunne: Picks up assist
Dunne logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
Dunne remains a part-time option on the fourth line for the Sabres. The 27-year-old had gone five games without a point prior to Tuesday, and he was scratched five times in that span. For the season, he's contributed four points, 18 shots on net, 25 hits and 29 PIM over 23 appearances in his first season as an NHL regular despite the limited playing time.
-
Jordan Greenway LW | BUF
Sabres' Jordan Greenway: Contributes helper in win
Greenway notched an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
Greenway continues to see a part-time role, as the Sabres occasionally scratch him to mitigate injury risk for the winger. The 28-year-old snapped a nine-game point drought with this helper. He's up to four points, 22 shots on net, 27 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 21 appearances, and it's unlikely he'll be a factor in fantasy from the fourth line.
-
Noah Ostlund C | BUF
Sabres' Noah Ostlund: Puts away goal
Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
Ostlund has scored three times over five games since he was recalled from AHL Rochester. He's taken on a second-line role at even strength, though he remains out of the power-play mix during this NHL stint. For the season, the 21-year-old has six goals, nine points, 27 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 25 appearances.
-
Eric Robinson LW | CAR
Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Deposits goal in loss
Robinson scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Robinson has two goals and a helper over his last three games. The 30-year-old winger is firmly in a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes, so an extended run of success on offense is unlikely. He's been known to chip in over short spans, but with 11 points, 38 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-6 rating through 30 appearances, he doesn't stand out enough in any area to be particularly strong in fantasy.
-
Andrei Svechnikov RW | CAR
Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Scores in Tuesday's loss
Svechnikov scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and doled out four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Svechnikov has two goals and eight helpers over his last nine games, but he's added 10 PIM in that span. If the penalty problems persist, he could slip down the lineup -- he was already bumped off the top line as the Hurricanes try to navigate a stretch without Seth Jarvis (upper body). Svechnikov has nine goals, 24 points, 99 shots on net, 61 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 36 outings overall.

Niko Mikkola D | FLA
Panthers' Niko Mikkola: Tickles twine
Mikkola scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Mikkola ended a six-game point drought with his first goal of the season. The 29-year-old has remained in a top-four shutdown role for the Panthers, but he hasn't come close to matching the pace that saw him record 22 points in 76 regular-season outings in 2024-25. He's at six points, 38 shots on net, 58 hits, 42 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 36 contests in 2025-26.
