Player Notes

  • Draws power-play assist
    Bunting provided a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

    Advice: Bunting got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row. He's also gone minus-8 over his last four outings. Bunting has yet to extend a point streak to three games this season, chipping in small bursts of offense without much extended success. The veteran winger has six goals, 11 assists, 40 shots on net, 33 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 26 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
  • Breaks through with goal
    Martinook scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

    Advice: Martinook hadn't scored a goal since last year's second-round playoff series versus the Devils. His last regular-season goal was April 11 versus the Red Wings. The 31-year-old has been a fixture on the Hurricanes' third line despite his poor offense this season. He's at seven points, 64 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-6 rating through 27 outings, serving as more of a defensive-minded winger. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm
  • Pots equalizer Saturday
    Noesen scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

    Advice: Noesen tallied early in the third period to tie the game at 3-3, but that lasted for just 1:19 before Elias Pettersson put the Canucks ahead for good. Noesen continues to simmer with six goals and two assists over his last 13 contests. The 30-year-old forward is up to 16 points, 38 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-8 rating through 27 appearances despite regularly playing in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:46 pm
  • Records assist Saturday
    Hoglander notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Hoglander has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. His offense has often been streaky this season, but his recent success has moved him up to the second line. Hoglander has nine goals, four helpers, 34 shots on net, 25 PIM, 18 hits and a plus-12 rating over 26 appearances. His ice time remains fairly limited, so Hoglander's fantasy appeal is likely highest in deeper formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:37 pm
  • Two-point effort in win
    Mikheyev scored a goal, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes.

    Advice: This was Mikheyev's third multi-point effort of the season, two of which have come over the last four games. He also logged multiple hits for the fourth this time this season. The 29-year-old has fit in well on the top line at even strength, providing some supporting offense alongside Elias Pettersson. Mikheyev is up to nine goals, seven helpers, 49 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-6 rating through 24 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 pm
  • Three-game, five-apple streak
    Fiala earned two assists Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Advice: Fiala fed a beauty cross-ice pass to Adrian Kempe at the right circle for a one-timer on the power play, and a 1-0 lead at 5:40 of the second frame. Vladislav Gavrikov took a feed from Fiala and wired a shot through a crowd 3:28 later to push the score to 2-0. Fiala is on a three-game, five-assist scoring streak. He is up to 25 points, including 19 apples, in 24 games. As a member of the Wild, he put up 52 assists and 85 points during the 2021-22 season. He could surpass those totals in 2023-24, though he is trending to have fewer goals. His playmaking has stood out more this campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:18 pm
  • Adds assist Saturday
    Tolvanen recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

    Advice: Tolvanen hasn't been immune from the Kraken's struggles, but he's powered through three points during the team's seven-game losing streak. The winger also has multiple hits in each of those contests. He's been solid for fantasy managers this season with 18 points, 59 shots on net, 61 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 28 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:11 pm
  • Strikes on power play
    McCann scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

    Advice: McCann gave the Kraken a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but it didn't hold. The winger has scored four times over the last five games, including twice on the power play. For the season, he's up to 13 tallies, 18 points (six on the man advantage), 80 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 28 appearances in a top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 pm
  • Nabs helper Saturday
    Jeannot posted an assist, three hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

    Advice: Jeannot helped out on a goal by Anthony Cirelli in the first period. The 26-year-old Jeannot hadn't recorded an assist since Nov. 9, picking up four goals over 14 games in that span. The winger is up to 11 points, 39 shots on net, 52 PIM, 101 hits and a minus-7 rating through 29 contests. He's on track for a better scoring season than his 18-point effort in 2022-23, which adds a little more value to his agitator style. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 pm
