Adam Larsson - Collects assist in lossLarsson posted an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and six PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactLarsson snapped a five-game slump with his helper on a Jordan Eberle tally in the third period. Larsson was held without a hit for the first time since Jan. 16, though the physicality hasn't helped much to offset his poor scoring performance this season. The 31-year-old defenseman is at 17 points, 91 shots on net, 119 hits, 107 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 57 outings overall.

Matty Beniers - Records helper SaturdayBeniers posted an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactBeniers helped out on Vince Dunn's goal in the opening minute of the game. The 21-year-old Beniers has five points over his last five outings, fueled by a three-point effort in Boston on Feb. 15. The center is up to 24 points, 92 shots on net, 34 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 52 appearances. He's gotten by on strong two-way play, but the offense has been disappointing from a fantasy perspective.

Jared McCann - Extends point streak to seven gamesMcCann notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactMcCann has five goals and six assists during his career-best seven-game point streak. The 27-year-old set up a Vince Dunn tally in the first period. McCann is up to 46 points, 145 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 56 appearances. He's the team leader in points and should continue to be a solid fantasy play as long as his offense is hot.

Jordan Eberle - Tallies in lossEberle scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
ImpactEberle has had a strong February with four goals and two assists over his last seven games. The winger scored in the third period Saturday, but it didn't spark a comeback for the Kraken. For the season, he's produced 13 goals, 34 points, 115 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 53 appearances in a top-six role. Eberle's recent offense should get him on the fantasy radar as a scoring-only option.
