Cole Sillinger - Receives top-line look Sillinger posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Sillinger started the year on the third line, but head coach Dean Evason's lineup shuffle saw Sillinger take over on the top line while Yegor Chinakhov moved down to the second line. Sillinger was able to draw his assist on Kirill Marchenko's third-period tally. Through six outings, Sillinger has a goal, three helpers, 14 shots on net, eight hits and six PIM. His fantasy value receives an instant boost if he can stay in his new role, as the 21-year-old has the scoring chops to handle increased responsibilities.

Zach Werenski - Dishes pair of assists in win Werenski produced two assists and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Werenski has a pair of two-assist games over his last three outings. The defenseman has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign with six points, 23 shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over six appearances. He's earned two of his points on the power play, where he quarterbacks the first unit, a role that should allow him to be a steady scoring presence throughout the season.

James van Riemsdyk - Opens scoring in win Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Van Riemsdyk has scored twice over six contests this season, and he's added five shots on net and a minus-1 rating. The 35-year-old winger was listed on the fourth line but still saw 12:46 of ice time Tuesday, including a season-high 2:48 on the power play. He's yet to log a point with the man advantage, but if he gets going in that situation, he could become a depth option in fantasy.

Kirill Marchenko - Two more points Tuesday Marchenko scored a goal on seven shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Marchenko produced his third multi-point effort in six games this season. He continues to click with Sean Monahan on the top line, and that duo was joined by Cole Sillinger after head coach Dean Evason shuffled up the lines a bit. Marchenko has eight points, 16 shots on net and a plus-6 rating so far, making him a strong depth addition in all formats that focus on offense as long as he remains on the top line and first power-play unit.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Monahan - Fast start to season continues Monahan had two assists Tuesday in a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Monahan has seven points, including three goals, in 6 games played. This hasn't been the season he'd expected when he inked his summer-time deal to play with his former best friend, Johnny Gaudreau. But increased ice time and responsibility will net points for Monahan this season.

Justin Danforth - Massive three-point game in win Donforth had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
Impact Danforth wired a snap shot past Dennis Hildeby early in the first to push his team up 2-0. He's not really known for his offense - Danforth's best season came past year when he put in 10 goals and added 16 assists in 2023-24. Nice night for the journeyman.

Daniil Tarasov - Raked up Leafs all night long Tarasov made 26 saves in a 6-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
Impact Tarasov was solid, but it really was a team game. The Jackets had the Leafs on their heels because of their speed through the neutral zone. The Leafs didn't get their first goal until the 18:59 point of the second period. Tarasov has delivered a 3-1-0 record so far, with a 3.29 GAA and .888 save percentage.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Mathieu Olivier - First two-goal game in NHL Olivier scored twice Tuesday in a 6-2 win over Toronto.
Impact It was his first two-goal game in the NHL. Olivier's first put the Jackets up 3-0 in the first period, and it stood as the winner. He then pushed the score to 5-0 with a one-timer from the top of the crease later in the game. The journeyman 27-year-old has played parts of the last five seasons and had just 13 goals and 21 assists in 168 games coming into 2024-25. Olivier has already delivered three goals and an assist in six games this season. Opportunity has knocked for him, and he'll be eager to prove.
