Rasmus Dahlin - Hot streak continuesDahlin recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-4 loss against the Blues.

ImpactThe 23-year-old has been on a tear the past five games recording one goal and four assists. Dahlin has also recorded 13 shots on goal and has a total of 24 hits and blocked shots. He is playing a ton of minutes averaging 25:40 of ice time in this span and 3:16 on the power play. The youngster will continue to play with Mattias Samuelsson on the first pairing.

Dylan Cozens - Two assists in lossCozens registered two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss against the Blues.

ImpactIn the past nine games, Cozens has recorded four points (one goal and three assists) and 26 shots on goal. The 22-year-old is averaging 17:55 of ice time in this span and has contributed on the power play scoring one goal. He is playing on the second line with JJ Peterka and Zach Benson who are also youngsters in the league.

Zach Benson - Two points in defeatBenson tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 6-4 loss to St. Louis.

ImpactBenson cut the Sabres' deficit to 3-2 in the second period with a quick wrist shot off a faceoff before adding a secondary assist on John-Jason Peterka's tally in the third. It's the second goal of the season for the 18-year-old Benson -- he has five points (two goals, three assists) in seven games since returning from a seven-game absence due to a lower-body injury. Overall, he's up to two goals and seven points across 13 games in his rookie campaign.

Justin Faulk - Still no goals this yearFaulk posted an assist, a shot on net and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

ImpactFaulk posted 11 goals last season and 16 goals the season before, but he has yet to light the lamp this year. However, Faulk has posted 11 assists -- all at even strength -- through 22 games while firing 37 shots on net and posting a plus-4 rating. The 31-year-old blueliner is handling plenty of ice time while skating on the second power-play unit, so we should expect the goals to come at some point.

Kevin Hayes - One of each in winHayes scored a goal and dished out an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

ImpactHayes is skating on the second line and the second power-play unit. He has put forth modest returns with 11 points and 34 shots on net through 22 games. The 31-year-old forward won't be easy to depend on for fantasy purposes with 14:40 of ice time per game, but it wouldn't be surprising if he improved a bit considering he posted 54 points -- 16 with the man advantage -- through 81 games last year.

Jordan Kyrou - Dishes out two assistsKyrou posted two assists and a shot on net in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

ImpactIt has been an underwhelming season for the 25-year-old winger, as he has produced just 15 points through 22 games. Notably, he hasn't scored a goal in eight games, and he has just four goals this season despite firing 73 shots on net (5.5 percent). He has scored at a 13.6 percent rate or better in each of the last three seasons, so we should expect him to bounce back at some point. But it's worth noting that he posted a season-low 14:25 of ice time in this game, which hopefully isn't an ongoing issue.

Pavel Buchnevich - Tacks on two assistsBuchnevich posted two assists, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

ImpactBuchnevich started the season slow but is now in the midest of a hot streak, posting seven goals and 15 points through the last 11 games while firing 31 shots on net. He's locked into a top-six role with a power-play presence and should be confidently started in most fantasy formats as a result.
