Matias Maccelli - Supplies helper in Friday's win Maccelli posted an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Maccelli set up Lawson Crouse for the Coyotes' second goal of the contest. This helper was Maccelli's fifth over the last six games, and he finished December with 11 points across 13 outings. The 23-year-old winger is up to 27 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 35 appearances this season. He remains a key playmaker on the second line and on the power play.

Alexander Kerfoot - Adds power-play helper Kerfoot notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Kerfoot has two goals and five helpers over his last six games, and three of those points have come on the power play. He assisted on Clayton Keller's opening tally in the first period Friday. Kerfoot is up to 22 points (six on the power play), 50 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 35 contests. He's been a natural fit since moving to the top line, so the 29-year-old is a player to keep an eye on in most fantasy formats.

Nick Schmaltz - Notches power-play assist Schmaltz recorded a power-play assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Schmaltz set up a Clayton Keller tally in the first period. It's been a rather quiet December for Schmaltz, who ends the month with four goals and two assists over 13 contests, though the lack of production hasn't cost him a top-line role or a power-play spot. The 27-year-old is up to 23 points (12 on the power play), 70 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 35 appearances. He continues to be solid for fantasy managers in need of points and power-play production, but he won't help in the physical categories.

The 23-year-old defenseman is up to nine points, 21 shots on net, 18 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances. He's gotten a run of playing time when the Coyotes' blue line has dealt with injuries, so he may have a chance to stay in there when the team is at full health.
