Rogers Place, Edmonton, AB
Dylan Guenther - Garners helper in lossGuenther notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
ImpactThe Edmonton native set up Jack McBain's first-period tally. The helper ended Guenther's season-worst four-game point drought. It hasn't cost him a spot on the second line, and he continues to play at a career-best pace. Guenther has 16 goals, 17 assists, 91 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 37 appearances, putting him two goals shy of matching his production from 45 games last season.

Logan Cooley - Sends helper in lossCooley notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
ImpactCooley has been good all season, but he maintained a point-per-game pace in December with three goals and 10 assists over 13 outings. The 20-year-old center is enjoying a full-on breakout campaign. He's at nine goals, 24 helpers, 72 shots on net, 30 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. A 70-point sophomore campaign is a realistic possibility, and that has value in virtually all fantasy formats.

Jack McBain - Nets lone goal in lossMcBain scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
ImpactMcBain tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, but Utah couldn't solve Stuart Skinner after that. This tally ended a 10-game goal drought for McBain, who added two assists, 15 shots on net and 39 hits in that span. The 24-year-old has maintained a second-line role recently, but that lack of production could see him head back to the bottom six if head coach Andre Tourigny mixes up his lines. McBain has 10 goals, five assists, 38 shots on net, 47 PIM, 119 hits and a plus-8 rating over 37 appearances this season.

Jaxson Stauber - Receives little help in lossStauber allowed three goals on 37 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
ImpactStauber took his first regulation loss of the season, but he put in a decent performance against a tough opponent. He's allowed nine goals on 120 shots over four appearances, good for a .925 save percentage. Stauber continues to see limited time behind Karel Vejmelka, and his NHL time could be coming to a close soon since Connor Ingram (upper body) began a conditioning loan with AHL Tucson on Tuesday. Utah doesn't have another back-to-back until Jan. 23 and 24, and it's likely Ingram will be healthy by then. Stauber is waivers-exempt, so Utah won't have any trouble getting him back to the AHL.

Ty Emberson - Sets up empty-netterEmberson logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
ImpactEmberson has a helper in two of the last three games, but he picked up just three assists over 13 outings in December. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to five assists, 31 shots on net, 53 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 35 contests this season. The Oilers don't have an extra healthy defenseman on the roster, so Emberson's bottom-four spot in the lineup is likely safe for the foreseeable future.

Vasily Podkolzin - Adds helper in winPodkolzin logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
ImpactPodkolzin notched an assist for the second time in three contests. While he didn't score in December, he logged five assists, 21 shots and 26 hits over 13 outings while maintaining his second-line spot. The physical winger is up to 13 points, 55 shots on net, 81 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 37 games this season. Podkolzin maintains deep-league appeal in fantasy since he's seeing even-strength minutes alongside Leon Draisaitl.
