Janmark provided a shorthanded assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

Janmark set up Connor Brown's shortie in the second period. This was Janmark's second shorthanded point of the season, and he's up to 12 points, 16 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 29 appearances. He has four assists over his last eight outings to maintain steady depth offense in a third-line role.

Ryan scored a goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

The Oilers got contributions from all over the lineup Thursday, and Ryan chipped in with a goal late in the third period. The 37-year-old center snapped his eight-game point drought in the process. He has one goal, two assists, 17 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 27 contests this season. Ryan is firmly locked in on the fourth line, a role that offers almost no upside in Edmonton.

Sasson was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Sasson has four assists in nine appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. The timing of this demotion is a touch awkward because Sasson registered two assists in the Canucks' 4-0 win over Florida on Thursday. Vancouver also demoted Aatu Raty is a corresponding move, which leaves the Canucks with 11 forwards on their roster. Unless a trade happens, Vancouver will presumably recall Sasson or another forward before Saturday's tilt against the Bruins.

Raty was sent to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

Raty has two goals and four points in 20 NHL appearances in 2024-25. He was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 4-0 win over Florida, which coincided with J.T. Miller's (personal) return to the lineup. Now that Miller is available, the Canucks don't have any forwards on the shelf, so that might be why Raty was sent down, but it's possible this was a paper transaction. Max Sasson was also sent to the AHL on Friday, which leaves Vancouver with just 11 forwards on its roster. Unless there's a trade, Vancouver will presumably summon a forward before facing Boston on Saturday.

Novak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Novak has scored in back-to-back games, though his ice time could be set to drop soon. Ryan O'Reilly returned from a lower-body injury Thursday and looks set to fill a second-line role moving forward, which would leave Novak as the third-line center unless he moves to the wing. The 27-year-old has five goals, one assist, 42 shots on net and 10 blocked shots over 23 appearances this season, so he hasn't done much to earn a larger role despite recording at least 43 points in each of the previous two campaigns.

Sturm notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Sturm snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old has played on the fourth line over the last nine games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He has nine points, 19 shots on net, 35 hits and 12 blocked shots through 27 outings. Sturm is mostly a defensive forward, and while he's on a better pace than last year (13 points in 63 games), he's unlikely to produce enough offense to help most fantasy managers.

Kapanen scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

Kapanen has moved around the lineup a bit since joining the Oilers. He was on the second line Thursday, and he benefited from a pass by Leon Draisaitl to set up the second goal, with Kapanen earning his first game-winning tally in an Edmonton sweater in the process. The 28-year-old winger is up to four points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-5 rating over 19 outings this season, but he's earned three of those points over nine contests with the Oilers, so it looks like he's fitting in well as a depth forward.

L'Heureux scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

It's an encouraging sign L'Heureux remained in the lineup over Juuso Parssinen and Fedor Svechkov with the returns of Ryan O'Reilly (lower body) and Gustav Nyquist (illness). L'Heureux was on the fourth line, but that's where he's been for a majority of the campaign anyway. He's got two points over his last three outings and a total of seven points, 30 shots on net, 74 hits and a minus-7 rating through 25 appearances to begin his rookie year.

Joseph has played in nine of 15 games since returning from a lower-body injury Nov. 12.

Joseph has been limited to bottom-six usage with 11:25 of ice time per game since his return. He's added 10 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-5 rating, and he hasn't picked up a point in that span. Joseph has been competing with Zachary Bolduc and Alexandre Texier for playing time lately, and none of them have much upside in redraft formats if they continue to hold down part-time roles.

Foligno posted an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

Foligno has a pair of helpers over his last four games. The 37-year-old winger was on the fourth line Thursday, though he's routinely logging middle-six minutes regardless of where he's listed in the lineup. For the season, he's produced 12 points, 42 shots on net, 85 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-9 rating while averaging 16:56 of ice time over 29 appearances.

Tsyplakov scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blackhawks.

Tsyplakov has scored three times and added an assist over six games in December. He stretched the Islanders' lead to 5-1 in the third period, but it proved to be a vital insurance goal, as the Blackhawks' late push made it the game-winner. This was his first game-winning goal in the NHL, and he now has six goals, 17 points, 46 shots on net, 84 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 31 outings. Tsyplakov isn't tearing it up on offense, but he's been steady and could push for a 50-point campaign.

Heineman logged an assist in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Penguins.

Heineman ended a four-game slump with the helper on a Joel Armia tally in the second period. Prior to that dry spell, Heineman had scored three times over five contests. The 23-year-old winger is finding his way in a fourth-line role, adding a little depth scoring and plenty of physical play. He's at nine points, 30 shots on net, 67 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances.

Brown was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

Brown was sent down Nov. 23 after Darnell Nurse returned from an injury. The 30-year-old Brown is back in the NHL to provide extra defensive depth since Evan Bouchard (lower body) is questionable to play Saturday against the Golden Knights.

Ruhwedel was summoned from AHL Hartford on Friday.

Ruhwedel has three assists in 11 games with Hartford in 2024-25. K'Andre Miller sustained an upper-body injury Wednesday and was put on injured reserve Friday, so Ruhwedel's promotion gives the Rangers a seventh healthy defenseman. New York is gearing up for a back-to-back set against LA and St. Louis on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, so perhaps Ruhwedel will draw into at least one of those two games.

Faber logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Faber has three helpers over his last five games, but this was his first power-play point since Nov. 23 versus the Flames. The 22-year-old defenseman has been on the second power-play unit, which has reduced his ability to contribute in that situation. Overall, he's at 15 points (six on the power play), 39 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 29 outings in a top-pairing role.

Emberson logged a shorthanded assist and five PIM in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

Emberson helped out on a Connor Brown goal at 1:55 of the second period. This came after Emberson fought Jakub Lauko in the opening frame. Emberson has two helpers over his last six outings, and he's at three assists, 27 shots on net, 39 hits, 33 blocked shots and 14 PIM through 27 contests overall. He remains firmly in a bottom-four role for the Oilers.

Stecher scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

Both of Stecher's goals this season have come over the last three games, and all five of his points have been over the last eight contests. The 30-year-old is still in a bottom-four role with an average of just 14:41 of ice time per game. Stecher has added 24 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 15 hits and 11 PIM, but given his limited role, it's unlikely he's able to sustain his recent success on offense -- especially since he's reached double-digit points in just one of the last three seasons.

Nurse notched two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.

Nurse earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 14. He has four points over eight contests since he returned from an upper-body injury he suffered against the Maple Leafs on Nov. 16. Nurse won't keep pace with the elite high-scoring defensemen, but he's been solid this year with 13 points, 70 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-10 rating over 26 appearances.

Kochetkov will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Friday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Kochetkov will look to win consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 17 and 20. The 25-year-old has gone 2-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 95 shots over his last four outings. The Senators have scored 21 goals over their last seven games, going 4-2-1 in that span.

DeSmith didn't participate in Friday's practice session due to the flu, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

The 33-year-old has seen minimal playing time behind Jake Oettinger to begin the regular season, but it's not yet clear whether DeSmith will be able to dress for Saturday's home game against the Blues. It doesn't seem as though DeSmith will face a long-term absence, but if he's unavailable Saturday, the Stars will likely need to call up another netminder, presumably to serve in a backup capacity.

Gustavsson will patrol the home crease versus Vegas on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson gave up five goals on 26 shots against Edmonton on Thursday, taking the loss. It was his worst performance since allowing six goals on 22 shots in Philadelphia on Oct. 26. Gustavsson has been sensational this season, save for those two starts, as he is 14-5-3 with a 2.24 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 22 appearances in 2024-25. The Golden Knights are averaging 2.86 goals per game this season.

Fleury will be between the home pipes versus Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Fleury had a rare relief appearance Thursday, giving up two goals on nine shots in a 7-1 loss in Edmonton. Fleury is 5-1-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .905 save percentage this season. The Flyers are averaging 2.97 goals per game in 2024-25.

The Red Wings hope that Lyon (lower body) will be able to return for Wednesday's home game against the Flyers, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Lyon has been sidelined since late November due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be trending toward a return. His return would come at a beneficial time, as Cam Talbot exited Friday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, and it's unclear how much time he'll miss. Ville Husso will start at home against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, while the Red Wings will need to call up another netminder to serve as Husso's backup.

Hellebuyck stopped 33 of 36 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Hellebuyck had won each of his previous three starts, and he was less than two minutes away from extending that streak to four, but he had to settle for an overtime loss instead. Regardless of the outcome of the game, Hellebuyck had another impressive performance between the Jets' pipes. He's gone 3-2-1 in six December contests, posting a 2.14 GAA and a .921 save percentage in that span.
