Troy Stecher - Notches assist Friday Stecher recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Stecher has points in back-to-back contests after opening the season with no offense in 17 appearances. The 30-year-old blueliner has added 18 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-4 rating across 19 contests this season. Stecher seems to have a solid hold on a bottom-four job over Travis Dermott, but he's not productive enough in any one area to help much in fantasy.

Corey Perry - Helps out on power play Perry recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Perry has three points, four shots and four hits over his last three contests. The 39-year-old has mostly seen bottom-six minutes this season, though he has had some looks on the second line and on the power play. The winger is up to seven points (two on the power play) with 22 shots on net, 10 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 23 outings. Perry's not a strong fantasy option this late into his career, but he could provide a little depth scoring and agitation in extremely deep formats.

Evan Bouchard - Earns two power-play helpers Bouchard notched two power-play assists, two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Bouchard has multiple points in three of his last four games, racking up two goals and five helpers in that span. This was the first game in which the Oilers scored multiple power-play goals this season, and if they can build off that, it bodes well for Bouchard. The defenseman is at six goals, 11 helpers (five on the power play), 61 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 23 appearances.

Vasily Podkolzin - Finds twine Friday Podkolzin scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Podkolzin didn't let a five-day break in the schedule slow his momentum -- his first two goals of the season have come over the last two games. The 23-year-old put the Oilers on the comeback trail with his tally at 9:44 of the second period. Podkolzin is up to seven points, 32 shots on net, 55 hits, 11 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 23 appearances. He has a little intrigue for fantasy as long as he's seeing time on the second line at even strength.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Steals and scores in overtime Nugent-Hopkins scored the game-winning goal and fired three shots on net in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins stole the puck and rushed in for an unassisted goal to seal the Oilers' victory. This was his second tally over the last four contests, giving him three goals and 10 points through 23 outings overall. He's added 47 shots on net and a minus-2 rating while playing consistently in the top six. The Oilers scored multiple power-play goals for the first time in a single game this season, and if they can get going in that area, Nugent-Hopkins should enjoy a bump in his offense.

Leon Draisaitl - Goal, assist in Friday's OT win Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

His 17 goals this season put him one behind Sam Reinhart for the NHL lead, and Draisaitl has added 15 helpers, 65 shots on net and a plus-11 rating across 23 appearances.

Connor McDavid - One of each on power play McDavid scored a goal on six shots, added an assist and went minus-3 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact McDavid wasn't great at 5-on-5 in Friday's game, but he picked up a pair of power-play points in the second period. The 27-year-old is on a four-game point streak, notching five goals and four helpers in that span. For the season, he has 12 tallies, 30 points, 75 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances. It's not unusual to see the superstar exceed 1.5 points per game -- his scoring pace so far is sustainable and could even improve given he had a slow start.

Calvin Pickard - Gets overtime win Pickard stopped 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Impact Pickard fell behind early as Utah established a 2-0 lead in the first period. The Oilers answered with three goals in the second, but Lawson Crouse tied it again in the third. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins then scored an unassisted game-winner to secure the victory for Pickard, his second in four starts in November. The 32-year-old netminder is now 5-3-0 with a 2.50 GAA and an .895 save percentage over nine outings this season. Stuart Skinner is likely to start Saturday in Colorado as the Oilers continue their three-game road trip.
