Brandon Hagel - Two points in OT winHagel scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
ImpactThe 25-year-old winger notched the tying tally with less than five minutes left in the third period, beating two defenders on a rush from the blue line and muscling the puck past Cam Talbot. Hagel then set up Nick Perbix for the OT winner with another display of grit, as he won a puck battle along the boards to keep the puck in the Kings' zone before feeding it to Perbix. Hagel has a modest three-game point streak going, and over the last 15 contests he's picked up a solid two goals and 11 points.

Nick Perbix - First goal is game-winnerPerbix scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Kings.
ImpactAfter helping to set up Brandon Hagel for the tying tally with less than five minutes left in regulation, Perbix got behind the Los Angeles defense and beat Cam Talbot with a backhand move for his first goal of the season. The 25-year-old blueliner has been a useful option in deep fantasy leagues of late, collecting five points in the last 10 games with 27 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Nabs win No. 10Vasilevskiy made 20 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
ImpactThe netminder has alternated solid performances with shaky ones to begin January, but that's been the story for Vasilevskiy ever since he made his belated season debut following back surgery. Through 19 outings, he's 10-9-0 with a 2.95 GAA and .896 save percentage, numbers well below his usual standards. Vasilevskiy's ceiling is far too high to give up on him even in shallow fantasy formats, but he isn't a must-start given his current form.

Trevor Moore - Two helpers in TampaMoore collected two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
ImpactBoth helpers came in the second period as the Kings grabbed a 2-0 lead that slipped through their fingers down the stretch. Moore snapped a brief four-game point drought with the performance, and it was his first multi-point effort since Nov. 25. Since the beginning of December, the 28-year-old has six goals and nine points over 17 contests.

Cam Talbot - Falls to Bolts in OTTalbot turned aside 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.
ImpactThe netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Tampa Bay refused to go down on home ice and scored twice from Talbot's doorstep in the final frame before Nick Perbix beat him on the backhand in OT. Talbot hasn't picked up a win in five straight starts, going 0-3-2 with a 2.79 GAA and .906 save percentage, and regression may be catching up to the 36-year-old after his impressive start to the season.
