ImpactStecher got on the scoresheet in his third game with the Oilers, setting up a Darnell Nurse tally in the third period. The 29-year-old Stecher has been limited to a bottom-four role since he was traded from the Coyotes, though he's recently pushed Vincent Desharnais for playing time. Stecher has six points, 46 shots on net, 61 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 50 appearances overall.

Cody Ceci - Registers assist in winCeci notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Sabres.
ImpactCeci snapped a seven-game point drought with his helper on Connor Brown's goal late in the third period. The 30-year-old Ceci saw some top-four usage earlier in the season, but he's been limited to the third pairing recently. He's at 19 points, 80 shots on net, 73 hits, 95 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 outings this season. With his physical play on the decline this year, Ceci has less appeal in deeper fantasy formats since his scoring hasn't changed much.

Sam Carrick - Hands out helperCarrick posted an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Sabres.
ImpactCarrick has two points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense across six contests since he was traded from the Ducks to the Oilers. The 32-year-old has mainly filled a fourth-line role with the Oilers, though the team's top-heavy forward group has led to him seeing a dramatic drop in actual ice time. He's at 13 points, 81 shots on net, 148 hits, 100 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 67 appearances this season.
