Foligno logged an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

This was Foligno's first point in three games since he returned from a month-long absence due to an upper-body injury. The 39-year-old is likely to be a fixture on the Wild's fourth line this year. He has two points, three shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over six appearances.

Fiala notched a power-play assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Fiala returned to action after a nearly nine-month absence due to a broken leg sustained during his time with Switzerland at the Olympics. The 30-year-old saw time in a second-line role, and he should also be part of the top power-play unit moving forward. Last year, he had 40 points in 56 appearances prior to his injury. He should be a good source of points and shots moving forward.

Moore scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Moore ended a four-game goal drought with his tally. The 31-year-old winger is up to three goals, six points, 35 shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances this season. He's playing in a third-line role and has featured on the power play, but until the results are better, he's safe to leave off fantasy rosters.

Byfield scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Byfield has racked up four goals and an assist over his last six outings. The 24-year-old center is finding more consistency on his own, but the team around him continues to flounder. Byfield is up to five goals, two assists, 36 shots on net and a minus-8 rating across 15 appearances, with three of his tallies coming on the power play. He's got the potential to do better on offense, and he'll remain in a top-six role.

Kuemper gave up four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

This was Kuemper's 500th career appearance, but it was one to forget. The netminder struggled for a second straight start despite facing little shot volume. He's down to 5-5-1 on the year with a 3.58 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 11 starts. The Kings have started to mix in Anton Forsberg more often, and this could turn into a straight timeshare if Kuemper can't correct course soon. The Kings' next game is at home versus the Flames on Saturday.

Maccelli posted an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Maccelli had missed nine games due to a lower-body injury. He returned to a fourth-line role, logging 13:46 of ice time in an 11-forward lineup. The 26-year-old is up to two goals, five helpers, 14 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over nine appearances this season. Maccelli could move up in the lineup as he gets back up to speed, though fantasy managers can afford to wait and see how his usage develops.

Pulock logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Pulock missed four games due to his upper-body injury, and he returned with 19:22 of ice time. That's in line with his typical usage in a second-pairing role. Pulock is up to three assists, 10 shots, 25 blocks, 11 hits and a plus-6 rating over 14 appearances this season. Barring an uptick in offense, he'll likely be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Eklund scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Eklund's goal streak is up to four games. He has four goals on nine shots and an assist over that span. The 20-year-old winger is meshing with Brayden Schenn on the second line, which has helped him produce offense with a short adjustment to the NHL. Eklund is up to seven goals, 10 points, 28 shots on net, 53 hits and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances. With the extra physicality, he could hit his way onto fantasy rosters even if his offense is simply good instead of great.

Horvat scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Horvat had gone a season-high four games without a goal prior to Thursday. He had three assists and 15 shots in that span. The 31-year-old center continues to play well in a top-line role, racking up eight goals, 10 helpers, 58 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances. He's earned six of his 18 points on the power play this year.

Schaefer scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

Schaefer has two goals and two assists over four outings in November, and that's almost a quiet stretch for him. The 19-year-old defenseman skated in his 100th NHL game Thursday. In his young career, he has racked up 77 points, a plus-9 rating and 129 blocks while almost instantly emerging as a minute-munching superstar. He's at six goals, 12 helpers, 65 shots on net, 13 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 18 appearances to begin 2026-27.
