Mavrik Bourque - Earns first NHL assistBourque provided an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

ImpactBourque was sidelined by an undisclosed injury for the first week of the campaign, which may explain his slow start. The 22-year-old has one assist, one shot on net and four blocked shots over four contests so far, and he began Tuesday's game in a fourth-line role. If Bourque's struggles continue, he may return to AHL Texas, where he was the AHL MVP in 2023-24 after a 26-goal, 77-point campaign, though any such demotion would likely be to help him rebuild confidence.

Thomas Harley - Buries goal in lossHarley scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

ImpactHarley remains the only Dallas blueliner to earn a point this season, and he has three of them (one goal, two assists) through seven contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has added 17 shots on net, six blocked shots, five hits and a plus-3 rating. The team has started 5-2-0, so the lack of production from the blue line hasn't had too much of an impact yet, but fantasy managers who took Harley with a late-round pick can feel comfortable that he's contributing.

Ryan McLeod - Goal streak at four gamesMcLeod scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

ImpactMcLeod has scored in four straight games, and his point streak is at five contests. The 25-year-old appears to have just needed some time to build chemistry with his new teammates. McLeod saw a season-high 18:35 of ice time Tuesday, and while none of it came on the power play, if his offense stays strong, he'll get more chances there as well. He has five points, 10 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through eight appearances.

ImpactIt was the third multi-point performance in the last five games for Tuch, as the Sabres' top line has caught fire. On the season, the 28-year-old has produced three goals and nine points in eight contests as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2023-24 campaign.
