Viktor Arvidsson - Draws helper in return Arvidsson notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Arvidsson had missed five games due to a lower-body injury, but he saw 14:34 of ice time in a second-line role in his return. Prior to his latest injury, he was rolling, and he's now earned a goal and four helpers over his last six outings. He's at 15 points, 67 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 26 contests, so he could have appeal as a scoring-only option in fantasy if he can avoid additional injuries.

Marat Khusnutdinov - Finds twine Tuesday Khusnutdinov scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Khusnutdinov has been trending well lately with a goal and three assists over his last five games, but he's in a bottom-six role with little consistent power-play time. The 23-year-old forward has proven himself to be a versatile option in his time with the Bruins, so he may continue to float around the lineup wherever he's needed. He's produced 12 points in just 33 outings, matching his regular-season total from 75 appearances last year. Khusnutdinov also has 35 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating this season.
