Overall, the 26-year-old center is up to 39 assists, 54 points, 106 shots on goal, 37 hits and 40 blocks through 49 games this season. His two-way play has shown up on the stat sheet this season, as he ranks 20th in blocks among forwards in addition to his strong numbers offensively. He is well above the necessary pace to record his third consecutive season above 75 points, making him a staple for fantasy lineups in any league format.

Not only has the 21-year-old winger made a strong impact offensively with 20 points over his last 15 games, but he has excelled without the puck as well. He is tied for ninth with his linemate, Oliver Kapanen, in blocks among NHL forwards with 49. Slafkovsky is on pace for a new career high in points if he can surpass the 51 tallies he totaled a season ago. His all-around play warrants him strong fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Cole Caufield - GWG, trio of points Saturday Caufield scored two goals, dished out an assist and put three shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Ottawa.

Impact After tallying a goal and an assist in the opening period, Caufield played the hero in overtime when he scored the go-ahead goal after 33 seconds. Overall, the 25-year-old winger is up to 24 goals, 24 assists, 143 shots on net and 35 hits through 49 games this season. Despite experiencing an inconsistent stretch of play to open the calendar year, Caufield has posted back-to-back multi-point games. The young winger has flashed his elite skill at times this season and ranks among the top 30 skaters in points across the league. If he can stay the course across the latter half of Montreal's regular season, he should finish the campaign near the 70 points he recorded through 82 regular-season games a year ago.

Samuel Montembeault - Hangs on for OT win Montembeault stopped 29 of 34 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

Impact Despite allowing four goals in the second period, Montembeault was able to play well enough in the back half of the third to keep the Canadiens in contention before ultimately taking the OT win. Following Saturday's victory, he now holds a 9-6-2 record with a 3.44 GAA and an .873 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. While his numbers are inflated by inconsistent play in the early stages of the season, the 29-year-old goalie has a 4-0-1 record with a 2.90 GAA and a .906 save percentage in that span. His overall quality of play is trending back towards the 31-win-quality he had across 62 appearances a year ago, giving him decent streaming value across most fantasy formats for the time being. His next chance to take the ice is Tuesday against the Wild.
