Carter Verhaeghe - Helpers in four straight gamesVerhaeghe notched an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
ImpactVerhaeghe has a helper in four straight contests after starting the year on a four-game skid. The winger's goose egg in the goal column is bound to crack eventually as well -- he's racked up 28 shots on net without bending the twine. Verhaeghe also has 14 hits and a minus-8 rating over eight appearances in a top-six role.

Sam Bennett - Nets lone goal in lossBennett scored a goal on four shots, added four PIM and levied four hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
ImpactBennett broke up Filip Gustavsson's shutout bid with a second-period tally, but that was all Florida could manage. The 28-year-old Bennett has been money early in the season with five goals and three assists over eight contests. He's also logged at least one shot on goal and one hit in each game, for a total of 30 shots and 23 hits. His role will decrease once Aleksander Barkov (lower body) returns, but contract-year Bennett looks to be good news for fantasy managers.

Jonas Brodin - Deals assist in Tuesday's winBrodin logged an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
ImpactBrodin has been steady to begin the season, playing at least 21 minutes in each game while earning three assists over six contests. The 31-year-old defenseman is capable of playing in a top-four role thanks to his defensive play, as evidenced by his plus-2 rating and 18 blocked shots so far. He also has 12 shots on net and six hits, giving him a little bit of category coverage despite a lack of a consistent power-play role.

Marcus Johansson - Tallies in winJohansson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
ImpactJohansson's first goal of the season snapped a three-game dry spell for the winger. The 34-year-old has held down a middle-six role with power-play time, but he's had little impact on offense. Johansson is at three points, 10 shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season, and it's unlikely he keeps up that level of physical play in the long run.

Marco Rossi - Scores again TuesdayRossi scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
ImpactRossi has scored in three straight games, and he's earned at least one point in five straight contests. The 23-year-old center is up to three goals, three assists, 13 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through six outings. Rossi should continue to return solid offense as long as he stays on the Wild's top line.
