In 2026-27, he's racked up five goals, 13 helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-8 rating.

Brett Howden - Awarded empty-netter Howden scored an empty-net goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Howden was obstructed on his way to an empty net, leading to an awarded goal. He did not record a shot on goal during the contest. He's scored in three straight games and is up to four goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 10 appearances. At his best, Howden is an effective agitator with a scoring touch, giving him some appeal as a depth option in fantasy.

Noah Hanifin - Finds twine in win Hanifin scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Hanifin's offense is coming around -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight contests. The 29-year-old defenseman has seen a slightly smaller role than in previous years, as the Golden Knights have a strong defense and have to spread the minutes around. Hanifin's at four points, 13 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 10 outings.

Rasmus Andersson - Tallies in Saturday's win Andersson scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Andersson has picked up two goals and two assists over his last four games. The 29-year-old blueliner is picking up the pace on offense after a slow start to the year, and he's firmly in a top-four role with power-play time. On the year, Andersson has produced five points, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 10 contests. He should continue to offer decent totals in points, shots, blocks and PIM.

Shea Theodore - Nets goal in big win Theodore scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Theodore had started the season well, but he followed it up with a seven-game slump. The 31-year-old defenseman ended his drought with a second-period tally. Theodore has two goals, two helpers, 20 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 10 appearances -- he's been part of the Golden Knights' early success despite the lack of individual production.

Trevor Connelly - One of each Saturday Connelly scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Connelly has earned five points over his last five outings. The 20-year-old rookie has picked up three of those points on the power play as he continues to play on the top unit with the man advantage. Through his first 10 NHL games, Connelly has four goals, three assists, 20 shots on net and a minus-1 rating. He probably won't sustain this rate of production all year, but he's definitely getting into the conversation for fantasy.

Mark Stone - Racks up three more points Stone scored a power-play goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Stone has logged seven points over his last three contests. The 34-year-old earned all three of his points Saturday in the first period as the Golden Knights took control early. He's up to seven goals, seven helpers, 20 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-9 rating through 10 appearances to start the season. As long as he's healthy, Stone will likely be productive.

Adin Hill - Stays undefeated Saturday Hill stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Hill has won all four of his starts this season, and he's allowed just nine total goals on 96 shots. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't made a serious threat to Carter Hart's No. 1 status, but Hill has been a reliable backup. A somewhat even timeshare could emerge if both netminders remain in good form. The Golden Knights' next game is at home versus the Lightning on Tuesday, which will be a test for whichever goalie gets that start.

Ville Heinola - Back in AHL Heinola was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday.

Impact Heinola continues to bounce between leagues as the Golden Knights deal with the absence of Parker Wotherspoon (upper body). Heinola's demotion indicates there are no concerns for Vegas on the blue line ahead of Saturday's game versus the Penguins.

Adin Hill - Slated to face Pittsburgh Hill is expected to start at home against Pittsburgh on Saturday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Mitch Marner - Manages pair of assists in win Marner logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Marner extended his point streak to five games (one goal, six assists) with this performance. The 29-year-old playmaker continues to be productive from a second-line role. He's at two goals, seven helpers, 22 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over nine appearances this season. Marner's more than capable of being a point-per-game player, so he should be a steady source of offense in his second year in Vegas.

Ivan Barbashev - Records trio of assists Barbashev notched three assists, including one on the power play, and added four shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Barbashev is still searching for his first goal of the season, but he's had no trouble helping out linemates Jack Eichel and Mark Stone stay productive. Through nine contests, Barbashev has seven assists, 14 shots on net, 17 hits, four PIM and a plus-6 rating. The 30-year-old winger's physicality is a plus, and he's also often an efficient scorer, having shot at least 15.6 percent in each of his three full seasons with Vegas. Be patient -- he'll start to bury his chances eventually.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Howden - Tallies again Thursday Howden scored a goal and added four PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Howden has scored in consecutive games, and he's earned five points over his last five outings. The 28-year-old forward is seeing time on the second line lately, which has bolstered his output on offense. He's at three goals, three assists, 16 shots, 10 hits, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating through nine appearances on the year.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Braeden Bowman - Buries power-play goal Bowman scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Bowman snapped a five-game skid with his tally Thursday. The 23-year-old winger will be prone to some inconsistent offense as long as he continues to see bottom-six minutes at even strength. He's also involved on the power play, which should help him get a bit of momentum on offense. Bowman has two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across nine appearances this season.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Eichel - Rattles off three points in win Eichel scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, dished two assists (one on the power play) and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Eichel was involved in all parts of this game as the Golden Knights took care of business in an easy matchup. This was his fifth multi-point effort over nine games so far. The star center has five goals, 11 assists, 28 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. He's earned six power-play helpers and a pair of shorthanded points, showcasing his all-situations skill set.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Stone - Natural hat trick in Thursday's win Stone scored three goals, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Stone rattled off a natural hat trick in the third period to put the game out of reach. The 34-year-old has been dynamic to start the season while filling a top-line role. Stone has six goals, five assists, five power-play points, 19 shots on net, 11 hits, nine PIM, seven blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over nine appearances. Stone probably won't sustain that much all-around production, but he's capable of landing around a point-per-game pace.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Carter Hart - Cruises to win Hart stopped 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

Impact It was a lopsided matchup on paper, and it went as expected on the ice. Hart had a better game going, but he gave up a late power-play goal to Matthew Coronato. He has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his wins this year. Hart is now 4-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and a .911 save percentage across six contests this season as the Golden Knights' primarily goalie. Vegas hosts the Penguins on Saturday.
