Makes QMJHL Team of the Week.
Named to the QMJHL Team of the Week.
Analysis: Rybkin allowed just three goals over two appearances, going 1-0-1 for the week. He's posted a 5-3-1 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .913 save percentage over his first nine outings in the QMJHL after coming over from Russia in the offseason. The Kings prospect was a third-round pick in 2026, and since he's already in North America, he could opt for more time in the junior ranks or a step up to the NCAA as his development progresses.
Opens scoring.
Scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Analysis: Hutton signed with the Islanders on Thursday and has now made two appearances with his new team. The goal was his first point, and he's added a plus-2 rating, two hits and a blocked shot. Expect the 33-year-old defenseman to settle into a part-time role, battling with Scott Mayfield and Matt Kessel for playing time. Hutton had 15 points over 55 regular-season outings with the Golden Knights last year.
Provides pair of assists.
Notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Analysis: Dvorak has leaned into playmaking lately with a goal and five helpers over his last seven contests. He has earned a power-play assist in each of his last two games as well. The 30-year-old center has produced three goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net, 19 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances. Dvorak's offense doesn't match his top-line role, but he still does enough to be a viable depth option in some fantasy formats.
Pots empty-netter.
Scored a shorthanded empty-net goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Analysis: Sanheim has earned three points and a plus-3 rating over five contests in November. He was able to snap a 17-game goal drought with his empty-netter Monday, which was also his first shorthanded point of the season. He's up to two goals, 35 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-7 rating through 20 appearances in a top-four role.
Nets first goal with new team.
Scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Analysis: Bunting went from a five-game stint as a healthy scratch to a top-line assignment. He cashed in early, scoring his first goal as a Flyer just 2:03 into this contest. He's at two points, 13 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-5 rating over nine appearances. Even with the goal, Bunting is far from a lock to stay in the lineup moving forward.
Playing for the second time in 24 hours, the Flyers held the Canucks to just six shots through 40 minutes.
"Yeah, there’s actually no excuse for that. It’s unacceptable to show up like this."
Tyler Toffoli scored to send the game to overtime before Ivar Stenberg finished things off with the only goal of the shootout to help the San Jose Sharks beat the New York Islanders 3-2.
Scores power-play goal in SO loss.
Scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Analysis: Eklund gave New York a 2-1 advantage early in the second period, converting a feed from Brayden Schenn with Matthew Schaefer collecting the secondary assist. The young winger has scored in three consecutive games, demonstrating encouraging finishing ability. His involvement on the man advantage adds to his fantasy appeal, although his overall production remains subject to the volatility typically associated with developing players. He's trending in the right direction, however, as he's skating as a top-six forward while scoring in five of his last nine games, tallying six points over that stretch.
Goal and assist in shootout win.
Scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.
Analysis: Toffoli assisted on Ivar Stenberg's first-period equalizer before tying the contest again midway through the second period. The veteran winger might not have much upside as a middle-six forward in a struggling offense, but this was a step in the right direction. It also helped Toffoli snap a seven-game pointless skid, as he hadn't cracked the scoresheet since delivering an assist in a 6-4 loss to the Bruins on Oct. 24.
Decisive in SO win.
Scored a goal on three shots and netted the shootout winner in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Islanders.
Analysis: Stenberg tied the game late in the first period, redirecting a shot from Tyler Toffoli past Ilya Sorokin. The rookie later delivered the decisive goal in the eighth round of the shootout, beating Sorokin with a wrist shot. With six regulation goals this season, Stenberg continues to provide encouraging secondary scoring, and while skating on the third line won't do him any favors, he'll continue to have upside as long as he stays involved on offense. He has recorded multiple shots on goal in four of his last five appearances.
Carries San Jose to SO win.
Stopped 30 of 32 shots through overtime in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Islanders.
Analysis: Askarov surrendered a first-period goal to Ben Hutton before Victor Eklund beat him on the power play early in the second. The young netminder recovered and kept New York scoreless for the rest of regulation and overtime, finishing with a .938 save percentage. His performance was encouraging, especially given San Jose's recent defensive struggles and the fact that Askarov was carrying a three-game losing streak entering this matchup. Despite the recent woes, Askarov has been putting up solid numbers in the saves department and has delivered a single-game save percentage of .900 or higher in six of the Sharks' last eight games.
Makes 37 saves in shootout loss.
Stopped 37 of 39 shots through overtime in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Analysis: Sorokin faced a heavy workload, turning aside 37 shots while allowing even-strength goals to Ivar Stenberg and Tyler Toffoli. The veteran finished regulation and overtime with a .949 save percentage, delivering another impressive performance after making 45 saves against New Jersey in his previous appearance. His consistently heavy workload continues to support his fantasy value, particularly in save-based formats, but he's now on a three-game losing skid, going 0-1-2 in that span despite allowing three or fewer goals twice.
Makes 18 saves in road win.
Stopped 18 of 19 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Analysis: Woll held Vancouver scoreless through the first two periods before Jonathan Lekkerimaki beat him on the power play midway through the third. The netminder made 12 saves in the final frame, helping Philadelphia end its three-game winless streak. His .947 save percentage was encouraging, though the Flyers' inconsistent results could limit his ability to accumulate wins regularly. This was Woll's second win of the season and snapped a three-game losing streak, so it's hard to trust him in most formats -- even if he continues to share the workload between the posts with Dan Vladar.
Beaten twice in loss.
Stopped 14 of 16 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers. Philadelphia's third goal was an empty-netter.
Analysis: Merilainen surrendered an early goal to Michael Bunting before Travis Konecny doubled Philadelphia's lead on the power play in the second period. The young netminder received limited offensive support as Vancouver suffered its sixth consecutive regulation defeat. This was Merilainen's eighth straight game with a single-game save percentage below .900, so even if he remains the Canucks' No. 1 goaltender for now, the individual and collective struggles limit his fantasy appeal considerably.
