Brent Burns - Provides apple in loss Burns notched an assist in Friday's 3-1 loss to Carolina.
Impact Burns produced the secondary assist on Seth Jarvis' third-period goal to end Charlie Lindgren's shutout bid. The helper snapped a three-game point drought for Burns. The right-shot blueliner's offensive output has decreased at 39 years old, and he's on pace for just 23 points. The 2003 first-round selection's value would increase if he was the quarterback of the No. 1 power-play unit, but Shayne Gostisbehere has filled that role admirably with 18 points on the man advantage in 2024-25.

Sebastian Aho - Extends point streak in loss Aho produced an even-strength assist Friday in a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Aho set up Seth Jarvis' ninth goal of the campaign in the third period to cut Washington's lead to 3-1, but that was the only marker Charlie Lindgren would allow. Aho has points in three consecutive games, collecting two goals and two helpers in that span. The Finnish center has been held off the scoresheet on just one occasion through eight contests in December, and he's won 55.8 percent of his faceoffs in that span. Aho is up to nine goals, 34 points and a minus-5 rating through 32 appearances, and he trails only Martin Necas for the team lead in scoring.

Seth Jarvis - Scores Carolina's lone goal Friday Jarvis netted a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to Washington.
Impact Jarvis snapped Charlie Lindgren's shutout bid at 10:22 of the final frame. The goal was Jarvis' first tally since Dec. 5. Jarvis has become a dependable player at 22 years old -- the right-shot winger's average ice time has increased in each of his first four NHL campaigns. The Manitoba is occupying a top-line role in addition to a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, and ranks fifth on the Hurricanes in points with 9 goals and 11 helpers through 25 contests.

Pyotr Kochetkov - Minimal offensive support in defeat Kochetkov conceded three goals on 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals.
Impact Kochetkov turned in a solid performance Friday in a goaltender duel against Charlie Lindgren, but the Hurricanes weren't able to muster up enough offensive support for their netminder. Kochetkov hasn't been able to get into a groove lately, as he's alternated wins and losses over seven appearances in December. The 25-year-old is sporting a 13-6-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.51 GAA through 20 appearances. Carolina has had five different goaltenders make an appearance in 2024-25, but Kochetkov has been the only one to start in at least eight games.

Jaccob Slavin - Picks up assist Slavin produced an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact Slavin ended a nine-game point drought with this helper. The 30-year-old defenseman has just two assists over his last 17 outings as he continues to focus on taking care of the defensive zone first. He's at nine points, 33 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 31 contests this year.

Eric Robinson - Generates helper in victory Robinson notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact Robinson snapped a four-game slump with the helper. He was back on the top line at even strength Tuesday, setting up Sebastian Aho for the goal late in the second period. Robinson has moved around the lineup a bit, but he has generally found success when he plays alongside talented linemates. He's at eight goals, 10 helpers, 37 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-7 rating through 31 contests.

Tyson Jost - Lights lamp in Tuesday's win Jost scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact The goal was Jost's second of the season and first since his recall from AHL Chicago on Dec. 11. The 26-year-old forward has a chance to establish himself on the fourth line in the absence of Jack Drury (hand), who will be out at least a month. Jost has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating through 10 NHL appearances this season.

Jordan Martinook - Scores again in win Martinook scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact Martinook is thawing out after a cold snap with three points over his last two games to follow up a drought of eight contests. The 32-year-old's usage remains steady with the Hurricanes, serving in a checking-line capacity. Martinook has eight goals, eight assists, 52 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-12 rating over 31 appearances.

Andrei Svechnikov - Tallies on power play Tuesday Svechnikov scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact Svechnikov had gone three games without a point prior to Tuesday. He's turned a little streaky in recent weeks after being steady for the first quarter of the campaign. The winger is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 97 shots on net, 54 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 31 appearances, putting him on pace to get back to the 60-point mark for the first time since 2021-22.

Shayne Gostisbehere - Two helpers in Tuesday's win Gostisbehere picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.
Impact The veteran blueliner had a hand in Andrei Svechnikov's game-winner early in the first period as well as a Tyson Jost tally in the second. Gostisbehere has four multi-point performances in the last 11 games, piling up an impressive two goals and 13 points over that stretch, and he's been especially productive with the man advantage -- eight of those points (one goal, seven helpers) have come on the power play.
