Pots opening goal Henrique scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Henrique had gone 50 games without a goal before he scored at 5:32 of the second period. This was his third tally of the campaign to go with 11 assists, 82 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 59 appearances. The 36-year-old's offense is well below his prime years, as he's stuck in a bottom-six role with the Oilers. His defensive acumen keeps him in the lineup, but Henrique is not really an option for most fantasy formats anymore.

Supplies pair of helpers Henrique recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Henrique picked up the lone helper on Vasily Podkolzin's goal in the first period before later sliding his second primary assist of the game on Max Jones' game-winning goal. Overall, Henrique is up to 10 assists, 12 points, 74 shots on net and 62 blocked shots across 52 games this season. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Henrique stepped up in a more offensive role Tuesday, opposed to his usual defensive style. While the 36-year-old center will likely stay in a bottom-six role for the remainder of the regular season, he could see an uptick in production if his first game since Draisaitl's absence is an indicator of what's to come.
