Vladimir Tarasenko - Assists in three straight gamesTarasenko provided an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

The 32-year-old Tarasenko has struggled with consistency so far, so it's tough to tell if this is a mirage or a return to form on offense. The veteran winger has six points, 25 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-4 rating over 16 appearances, playing primarily in a third-line role.
