1/18:New York Islanders forward Anders Lee netted two goals in Thursday's 4-1 win over New Jersey to take his tally for the season to 18 goals and 37 points. Robin Lehner had to make just 17 saves to improve to 10-1-0 in his last 11 appearances. Nick Leddy had two assists, while Michael Dal Colle scored his first career goal and Jordan Eberle notched two points with a power-play goal and an assist. Lee is having a very successful January, so far failing to register any points just once in eight outings. He has four goals and 10 points this month.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/18:New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider recorded his second consecutive multi-point game on Thursday, finishing a 4-3 win over Chicago with a goal and an assist. New York's top line, which also includes Mika Zibanejad and Mats Zuccarello, had a field day, scoring three of the goals. Filip Chytil was also on target. Kreider's line has picked up points in a hurry lately, and the team as a whole has scored a lot of goals, so everybody should be on your radar ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Bruins. Boston are the only team in the league against whom Kreider hasn't scored a single career goal so far.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/18:Winnipeg Jets left wing Brendan Lemieux scored two goals in Thursday's 5-1 win at Nashville. The Jets received a nice boost from their depth forwards, as Mason Appleton registered the game-winning goal. Defensemen Joe Morrow and Saku Niku both had two assists. Lemieux played a season-high 10:10 and registered four shots in total with a plus-three rating. It was a great performance from him, but Lemieux is stuck on the fourth line, which makes him irrelevant in fantasy hockey. He has five goals and six points for the season in 31 games.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/18:Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson recorded his second shutout of the season on Thursday with a 37-save performance against Minnesota. Adam Henrique, Rickard Rakell and Brian Gibbons scored the goals in a 3-0 win, which ended a 12-game slide for the Ducks. Brandon Montour had two assists. Gibson has been very solid throughout the season, but even he struggled during the team's losing streak, which dropped his record to 16-15-8. Gibson is giving up 2.69 goals per game with a .921 save percentage. He'll look to record back-to-back wins for the first time since mid-December on Saturday against New Jersey.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/18:Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jack Campbell secured his sixth win of the season on Thursday as the Kings traveled to Dallas. Campbell stopped 29 of the 30 shots that he faced, with only a goal from Esa Lindell in the final two minutes of the game preventing him from logging his second shutout of the season. While only getting an occasional start playing behind Jonathan Quick, Campbell has been fantastic as a back-up this season recording a .932 save percentage on the year and posting a save percentage greater than .950 percent in five of his last seven starts. That kind of success makes Campbell seem like it a strong streaming option when he does get the nod however, the Kings have the league’s lowest scoring rate at 2.25 goals per game, which severely limits his value in leagues that put a premium on wins. --Russ Ivanac - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/18:Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point scored his 30th goal of the season in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Toronto, becoming the first player this season to register at least 30 goals and 30 assists. Point opened the scoring on a power play and Victor Hedman made it 2-2 in the second period, but the Leafs finished the game stronger. Point leads the Bolts in goals this season and he trails only Alex Ovechkin on the league's goal-scoring list. Sitting on 63 points for the season, the third-year center needs only a few more to post a new career-high.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/18:Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitchell Marner recorded the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-2 road win at Tampa, reaching the 60-point mark for the season. Only three players in franchise history have reached 60 points in a season faster than Marner did. He has 19 goals and 41 assists in 46 games. Nazem Kadri and Patrick Marleau both had a goal and an assist in the game, while John Tavares picked up two helpers. Marner has been scoring like a madman lately, netting once in four straight games. The Leafs take on Florida and their poor defense on Friday, so there's every chance that Marner will stretch his goal-scoring streak even longer.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/17:Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop will take the crease as his team faces off against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Thursday evening. The 32-year-old dropped his last decision versus the Blues on Saturday - in which he allowed three goals on 28 shots against in the 3-1 defeat. However, Bishop has put together a superb season in Dallas thus far, posting 15 wins, a 2.39 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage in 28 starts. He's established himself as a top second goaltender in most fantasy formats and should likely be started on Tuesday against a Kings team currently ranked last in goals-per-game (2.26) this season.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: Mark Stepneski

1/17:Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot picked up an assist in his team's 5-2 victory over the visiting Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The 21-year-old was playing in his first game back after missing the previous eight contests due to an upper-body injury. Chabot is in the midst of an electrifying sophomore season in the NHL and has positioned himself as perhaps the most valuable fantasy acquisition of the year thus far with 39 points (10 goals, 29 assists) in 39 games. Despite missing time to the aforementioned injury, Chabot is currently tied for sixth in NHL scoring for defensemen. He's evolved into a must-start fantasy option and will look to find the scoresheet yet again in his next game against the Hurricanes on Friday.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/17:Ottawa Senators center Matt Duchene led the way in his team's 5-2 defeat of the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night, contributing two goals and an assist in the victory. Duchene's second tally of the night was his 20th goal of the season and the second-year Senator now has now amassed 45 points in his first 38 games of the current campaign. While the 28-year-old is on pace to record his first career point-per-game season, he's also established himself as a legitimate first-line center and has lined himself up for a big pay day this summer in free agency. Selected with the 166th average pick in Yahoo! fantasy drafts prior to the season, Duchene has become one of the best bargains of the 2018-2019 season and he easily deserves to be owned in far more than just 68% of leagues.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/17:Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier became the eighth player to score a natural hat trick this season on Wednesday, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead in an eventual 4-3 win over Boston. Peter Cehlarik has two goals -- his first ones of the season -- for the Bruins. Ivan Provorov and Claude Giroux both registered two assists, as did Torey Krug and Brad Marchand for Boston. Couturier is currently on a five-game point streak, which includes three multi-point efforts. The Flyers have started to win again, which could result in even more success for Couturier, who's looking to record his second consecutive 70-point season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

1/16:San Jose Sharks left-winger Evander Kane produced a trio of assists on Tuesday night, playing a major role in his team's 5-2 defeat of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kane's playmaking ability was on display throughout the contest as he helped set up linemate Tomas Hertl for his first hat trick of the season. The 27-year-old left his fantasy owners pretty happy with his all-around performance in 18:24 of ice time, also contributing a plus-three rating, six shots on net and three hits in the victory. After getting off to a slow start with just 16 points through his first 26 games of the season, Kane has ripped it up over his past 22 games with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) to go along with a plus-ten rating and 76 shots on net (3.45 shots-per-game). He's back to being considered one of the top fantasy contributors and should be a lock in lineups on as he suits up for a tilt with the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/16:San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl found the back of the net three times in his team's 5-2 defeat of the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night. The breakout talent also contributed a plus-three rating, three shots on goal, a hit and a block for one of the most productive nights of his young career. Hertl has been on a roll as of late and his three tallies extended his personal point streak to five games (five goals, three assists). With 41 points in 43 games this season, the Czech native is just six points away from setting a new career-high. He's currently producing at a 78-point pace (over the course of 82 games) and given his triple-position eligibility in Yahoo! leagues, should find himself in lineups on a nightly basis. He'll look to extend his point streak to six games against the Coyotes on Wednesday.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/16:New York Islanders goaltender Robin Lehner stepped up once again for his team in a 2-1 overtime victory against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, turning aside 30 of 31 shots to pick up his 13th win of the season. The 27-year-old has been a revelation in his debut season with the Islanders, providing consistency in net almost on a nightly basis. In fact, Lehner has failed to post a save percentage of at least .900 just once in his past 13 starts. In addition to also grabbing a win in nine of his previous ten appearances, the Swedish native will enter his next start with a remarkable 2.16 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage on the season. He's a must-own goalie in fantasy hockey at this point and should be starts each night he gets the starting nod.--Chase Davis - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com

1/16:Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter tied Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild with just 2:30 left in regulation. His team would go on to fall 3-2 in a shootout. The Kings' anemic offense has made it tough on all of their fantasy relevant players and Carter has been no different. The 34-year-old has 10 goals and 13 assists through 46 games. Ilya Kovalchuk also scored his eighth goal in the contest. The Kings have been a fantasy wasteland this season. They will take on the Dallas Stars in their next game on Thursday night.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBallerSource: NHL.com
