Ivan Demidov - NHL's top rookie scorer Demidov scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 5-3 loss to Buffalo.

Impact It came on two-man advantage in the first period. It was Demidov's first goal in 10 games (seven assists). He remains the top rookie scorer in the NHL with 40 points. Demidov is the top rookie playmaker (29 assists), and he's tied with the Bruins' Fraser Minten for fourth in goals (11).

Cole Caufield - Two-point night in loss Caufield had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres. He fired five shots.

Impact Caufeld has 22 goals and 45 points (140 shots) in 48 games this season. But 12 of those goals (six assists) came in his first 15 games. Yes, that means that the sniper has just 10 snipes in the next 33 games. And he doesn't have a multi-goal game since Nov. 8. At some point, Caufield is bound to explode with goals, although 33 games is a long time.

Nick Suzuki - Among league's best power-play men Suzuki had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 loss to Buffalo on Thursday.

Impact Both points came on the power play, a place where he has tallied 25 of his 52 points, including nine goals. Suzuki excels at both ends of the ice, wears the C and puts up a lot of points. That makes him regular candidate for the Selke Trophy. Suzuki is in a three-way tie with Wyatt Johnston of the Stars and Kirill Kaprizov of the Wild for 13th overall in league scoring with 52 points (48 games). But more impressively, he's fourth overall in the NHL in power-play production with 25 points behind Connor McDavid (36), Leon Draisaitl (31) and Mikko Rantanen (26).
