Edmonton Oilers forward Jack Roslovic extended his point streak to four games with a couple of assists in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars. Roslovic helped Edmonton grab a 2-0 lead just 7:07 into the game, delivering one even-strength and one power-play assist. The 28-year-old, who joined the Oilers right before the season started, currently skates on the second line and has been part of the top power-play unit. He's tallied eight points (three goals, five assists) in 13 contests. Zach Hyman's (wrist) eventual return will knock Roslovic down in the lineup, but he should be on fantasy radars while he's hot.

Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston played his part in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Edmonton Oilers with three assists. He had one power-play helper as Dallas managed to turn a 2-0 deficit into a win. With Matt Duchene (upper body) and Roope Hintz (undisclosed) battling injuries, Johnston has played a huge role in the middle for the Stars, averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time. He's tied with Mikko Rantanen for the team lead with seven goals and boasts 14 points through 13 appearances. Johnston has notched half of his points on the power play, and he could get more joy against the Ducks' 79.5 percent penalty kill on Thursday.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras had two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the fastest player to reach 15 career points with the team since 2009-10. Zegras' playmaking helped the Flyers get a pair of power-play goals in the first period. His move to Philadelphia has worked out really well, as Zegras has amassed four goals and 11 assists over 13 outings this season, leading the Flyers in scoring. Zegras is among the league leaders with eight power-play points (two goals, six assists). In the next matchups, Philadelphia faces a couple of the league's worst defenses in Nashville and Ottawa, setting Zegras up for more success this week.

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper stopped the Winnipeg Jets from scoring on Tuesday night, finishing a 3-0 victory with 23 saves. The Jets had averaged 4.4 goals per game over their last five outings before running into Kuemper, who posted his first shutout of the season and improved to 4-3-3. Results-wise, it's been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Kuemper, and Tuesday's game marked his first regulation win of the season. But he's done solid work for the Kings. Through 10 starts, Kuemper has registered a 2.57 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.

Anaheim Ducks left wing Cutter Gauthier produced a special performance in Tuesday's clash against the Florida Panthers, posting four points in a 7-3 victory. He tallied his first career hat trick and delivered one assist, becoming the seventh player in Ducks history with a four-point game at age 21 or younger. Gauthier potted two goals on the power play. Following a slow start to the season, Gauthier has recorded a seven-game point streak and has managed multiple points in each of his past three outings. He's tied for the most goals in the league with 10 and is Anaheim's second-leading scorer with 16 points in 12 games. Only Paul Kariya has had a longer multi-point streak at 21 or younger with the Ducks (six games), and Gauthier will hope to extend his run to four contests on Thursday versus the Dallas Stars.

Winnipeg Jets winger Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) was moved to Injured Reserve on Tuesday and will miss a second consecutive contest against the Los Angeles Kings. The Swedish forward remains day-to-day, but it's uncertain when he can return. Through his first 11 outings in Winnipeg, Nyquist has recorded five assists. His exit from the lineup has given Alex Iafallo a chance to settle into a second-line role. Iafallo registered an assist in Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he hasn't been consistent offensively. In 12 outings this season, Iafallo has contributed two goals and three assists.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Noah Hanifin (lower body) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. Hanifin has played in only one game this season, missing the past 10 contests due to a lower-body injury. The Boston native is expected to join Zach Whitecloud on the second defensive pairing. He will likely also hop on the second power-play unit. A season ago, Hanifin amassed 10 of his 39 points with the man advantage. He finished the campaign with 10 goals and 29 assists in 80 games.

San Jose Sharks left wing William Eklund (lower body) will be unavailable for a second consecutive game on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The Swedish forward has boosted his scoring rate lately, becoming one of the leading figures in attack. Only Macklin Celebrini (18) has recorded more points than Eklund (11) with the Sharks this season. Eklund has produced five goals and six assists in 12 appearances. Adam Gaudette (upper body), who has missed four games, could be Eklund's replacement in the lineup on Wednesday. Due to his limited skillset, Gaudette doesn't have much fantasy value, but he could generate interest in some formats if he steps into a top-six role during Eklund's absence.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Max Crozier (lower body) will return from an eight-game absence on Tuesday night against the Colorado Avalanche. He is expected to replace Charle-Edouard D'Astous in the lineup. At the start of the season, Crozier showed off good form before a lower-body injury took him out. In four appearances, he has contributed three assists. With that said, fantasy managers should temper their expectations for Crozier, as he will be limited to third-pairing minutes on the Tampa Bay defense. Before this season, Crozier had only managed two assists and no goals in 18 career appearances.

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry (undisclosed) has been placed on Injured Reserve. Jarry played the entire game on Monday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, coughing up a three-goal lead in the third period of a 4-3 loss. It also looks like he was hurt during the contest and will miss some time. Monday's collapse ended a four-game winning streak for Jarry. He carries a 5-2-0 record for the season and has registered one shutout with a 2.60 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. Arturs Silovs, who is 3-2-2 this year, is poised to see more playing time during Jarry's absence. The Penguins have recalled Sergei Murashov from the minors as an additional goalie option. On Tuesday, Pittsburgh also placed forwards Noel Acciari (upper body) and Justin Brazeau (upper body) on Injured Reserve.

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth and is expected to be out for multiple games. Zucker has totaled seven points (four goals, three assists) and 15 hits in 12 games this season. Jiri Kulich (ear) won't play either on Tuesday, opening up additional playing time for other forwards. Jack Quinn and Jordan Greenway will team up with Tage Thompson on the first line.

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov will make his season debut in Tuesday's clash against the New York Rangers. The Russian shot-stopper missed the beginning of the season due to a lower-body injury. Over the last few campaigns, Kochetkov has established himself as a reliable option in goal for Carolina and finished the 2024-25 season with a 27-16-3 record. He posted two shutouts while logging a 2.60 goals-against average with a .898 save percentage. Kochetkov is in a good spot to make a winning start to his 2025-26 campaign, as the Rangers average the second-fewest goals in the league (2.38).

Nashville Predators left wing Filip Forsberg contributed a goal and an assist during Monday's 5-4 overtime defeat against the Vancouver Canucks. Forsberg opened the scoring in the contest with an even-strength marker and logged his second multi-point outing of the season thanks to a power-play assist. Following a difficult start, Forsberg has found some form lately, going scoreless only once in six games. He leads the struggling Predators with six goals and 11 points in 13 games. In Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild, Forsberg has a chance to post a goal streak of at least three games for only the second time since the start of last season.

Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser was the main man in Monday's matchup against the Nashville Predators, finishing a 5-4 overtime victory with two goals and one assist. After he recorded two points during regulation, Boeser scored the second-latest overtime winner in franchise history, just two seconds before the end of the extra period. This has been a strange season for Boeser. The American forward began the campaign with three points in four appearances, but he's registered points on only two occasions since. However, both of those outings have been standout performances where he tallied three points. Nine points (six goals, three assists) in 11 outings puts Boeser tied for third in scoring on the Canucks team. Next up, he will have a four-game homestand to build some consistency.

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord stopped 29 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, improving to 4-0-2 on home ice this season. His overall record isn't bad either at 6-1-3. The Philadelphia Flyers are the only team to beat Daccord in regulation this season. The 29-year-old has recorded a 2.53 goals-against average with a .910 save percentage and one shutout. On Monday, he was just nine and a half minutes away from becoming the first goaltender this season with multiple shutouts when former Kraken teammate Andre Burakovsky scored on him. Daccord's next challenge will be stopping the youthful Sharks, who are averaging 3.23 goals per game.
