The Minnesota Wild visit the Edmonton Oilers after Kirill Kaprizov scored two goals in the Wild's 4-2 win against the St. Louis Blues20 MINS AGO•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Josh Norris - Tallies in Tuesday's lossNorris scored a goal on two shots, doled out four hits, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.
ImpactNorris has scored four times and added an assist over the last five games. The only time he was held off the scoresheet in that span was in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Hurricanes. The 25-year-old center is doing well in a top-six role, racking up eight goals, five assists, 33 shots on net, 46 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 18 contests this season. Center is a deep position in fantasy, but Norris offers enough well-rounded production to be worth a look in most formats.

Derek Ryan - Snags assistRyan logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
ImpactRyan's two helpers this season have come over the last six games. He's not facing a challenge for playing time since the Oilers are missing Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) and Darnell Nurse (upper body) and don't have much cap space to work with. The 37-year-old Ryan has added just 12 shots on net, 10 blocked shots, nine hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 18 appearances. He may eventually get pushed for his fourth-line spot once Kasperi Kapanen, who was claimed off waivers from the Blues, joins the team.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Ends goal drought TuesdayNugent-Hopkins scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.
ImpactThe goal was Nugent-Hopkins' second of the season, ending an 11-game goal drought. He has shown some life lately, earning four points over his last six contests, but that's not particularly encouraging given his significant role with the Oilers. Overall, the 31-year-old forward has nine points (three on the power play), 40 shots on goal, six PIM and a minus-3 rating through 20 appearances.

Zach Hyman - Did not play in third periodHyman (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of a 5-2 win over Ottawa.
ImpactThere was an awkward hit near the blue line which caused Hyman to wince and move somewhat gingerly. It was almost as though he torqued something in his torso. We'll find out tomorrow or the next day. Vasily Podkolzin had already replaced Hyman on the top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and that will continue if Hyman can't go.

Tim Stutzle - Gets goal but in quiet stretchStutzle scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
ImpactStutzle tied the game 1-1 at 15:40 of the first period with a one-timer from the left hash marks off a pass from Drake Batherson from behind the net. His game has quieted over his last five (two goals, one assist) after ringing up 19 points in his first 15 games. But sometimes that happens for snipers like Stutzle -- there will be quiet stretches between big explosions. We're not worried.

Linus Ullmark - Needs to shake loss off fastUllmark made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
ImpactIt wasn't his best game, to say the least. The Oilers picked Ullmark and the Sens apart Tuesday night. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisatil and Evan Bouchard all had three-point games. Overall, Ullmark is 4-5-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .884 save percentage. That's a far cry from his excellent stats from his Boston days, but the Bruins team structure really helped there. Shake this off, and get him back in your lineup as you'd normally use him.
