  • Kraken's Logan Morrison: Two more goals for Firebirds

    Morrison scored two goals in AHL Coachella Valley's 3-0 win over Abbotsford on Sunday.

    Morrison is rolling in January with six goals and four assists over eight games. The 23-year-old forward is up to 20 goals and 36 points in 37 outings this season. That puts him fourth in the AHL in goals and 10th in points. Morrison hasn't gotten a call-up to the Kraken yet this season, but he should be in consideration if the big club needs a forward.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Nets equalizer

    Pinto scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    Pinto's tally late in the second period was enough to force overtime, though the Senators weren't able to get the win. The 25-year-old has two goals and two assists over his last six contests while playing in a middle-six role. The center is now at 14 goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 45 hits, 23 blocked shots, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 38 appearances. This was just his second power-play point of the season, so he could elevate his offense if he gets more time in that situation.

  • Dylan Cozens C | OTT

    Senators' Dylan Cozens: Scores again Sunday

    Cozens scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    Cozens has netted a goal in three straight games, including two straight contests with a power-play tally. The 24-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 36 points (21 on the power play), 113 shots on net, 128 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-15 rating. Cozens' blend of offense and physical play remains a good fit for fantasy managers who need help in hits and PIM without sacrificing scoring.

  • Senators' Drake Batherson: Earns two points Sunday

    Batherson scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    Batherson earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 21 versus the Bruins. The 27-year-old winger hasn't gone more than two contests without a point in that stretch, but it's good to see him have a bigger game. For the season, he's up to 19 goals, 44 points, 99 shots on net, 69 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 45 appearances. He's still on track to top the 70-point mark for the first time in his career.

  • James Reimer G | OTT

    Senators' James Reimer: Loses team debut

    Reimer stopped 30 of 34 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    This was Reimer's debut for the Senators. He was spotted an early 2-0 lead, but the Red Wings scored the next three goals before Shane Pinto knotted the score at 3-3 late in the second period. Alex DeBrincat got the last laugh, scoring 36 seconds into overtime to spoil Reimer's debut. For now, the 37-year-old goalie is slated to share the crease with Leevi Merilainen until Linus Ullmark (personal) is ready to reclaim the No. 1 job.

  • Red Wings' Axel Sandin-Pellikka: Strikes on power play

    Sandin-Pellikka scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    Sandin-Pellikka earned his first power-play point since Dec. 27 versus the Hurricanes when he scored at 7:16 of the first period. The defenseman is still listed on the second pairing, but his ice time has been dropping lately -- he has logged under 15 minutes in six of the last 10 contests. He's now at six goals, 18 points, 50 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 50 appearances in a sheltered bottom-four role.

  • Red Wings' James van Riemsdyk: Tallies on power play

    Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    Van Riemsdyk has been good as a depth scorer all season, but he's taken it to another level in January. He has four goals and seven helpers over nine contests this month, with four of those 11 points coming on the power play. The winger is up to 13 goals, 22 points (nine on the power play), 72 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 41 appearances. He's worth considering as a scoring-only depth forward in fantasy.

  • Lucas Raymond LW | DET

    Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Deposits goal Sunday

    Raymond scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    Raymond has four goals and five assists over his last seven outings. The winger briefly had to go to the locker room at the tail end of the second period, but he was able to return for the third, finishing with 14:21 of ice time. The 23-year-old is up to 15 goals, 53 points (21 on the power play), 99 shots on net, 24 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 48 contests in a top-six role.

  • Alex DeBrincat RW | DET

    Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Two points in Sunday's win

    DeBrincat scored a goal on seven shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    DeBrincat helped out on a James van Riemsdyk goal in the second period before scoring the game-winner himself 36 seconds into overtime. With six goals and six assists over nine games in January, DeBrincat is locked in as one of the Red Wings' best scorers. He's up to 26 goals, 52 points, 174 shots and a plus-4 rating over 50 appearances.

  • John Gibson G | DET

    Red Wings' John Gibson: Secures sixth straight win

    Gibson stopped 19 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

    Gibson emerged with his sixth straight win, but this was his worst performance during the streak. The Senators led 2-0 just 5:05 into the game, but the Red Wings were able to bounce back. Alex DeBrincat had the winning goal in overtime to keep Gibson's streak alive. The 32-year-old goalie now has a 19-9-1 record this season, which is his most wins in any of the last six campaigns. He's added a 2.74 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 30 appearances. Look for Gibson and Cam Talbot to split the next two games, as the Red Wings visit the Maple Leafs on Wednesday and the Wild on Thursday.
