Phil Kessel - Pair of points in win Kessel scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Kessel and Chandler Stephenson assisted on each other's goals in the contest. After the game, head coach Bruce Cassidy said Kessel is "going to the net, he's contributing" while playing alongside Stephenson, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports. That praise suggests those two forwards, alongside William Carrier, could stick together as a line for a while. Kessel has three goals and two assists over his last five outings, and he's up to 23 points, 101 shots and a minus-9 rating through 52 contests overall.

Chandler Stephenson - One of each Tuesday Stephenson scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Stephenson and linemates William Carrier and Phil Kessel each had a goal and an assist in the contest, leading the way in the win. Prior to Tuesday, Stephenson had gone 10 games without a goal while managing four helpers in that span. The 28-year-old is up to 12 tallies, 46 points, 76 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 52 outings. Even from a third-line spot, he plays enough in all situations to be a helpful forward in fantasy.

Adin Hill - Cruises to win Hill stopped 16 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Hill had it pretty easy for much of the game. The Predators scored 5:04 into the contest, but the Golden Knights responded multiple times. The 26-year-old netminder had lost his previous two starts, but he hasn't given up more than three goals in any of his last eight outings. For the season, Hill is 11-5-1 with a 2.63 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 19 contests. Despite Hill's strong play lately, Logan Thompson should be expected to face the Wild on Thursday after getting a bit of a breather following his All-Star appearance.

The 31-year-old Smith still hasn't scored in 2023, and with just five helpers and a minus-4 rating in 13 contests in that span, he's been a bit tough to trust in fantasy. The winger is up to 33 points, 132 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-1 rating through 52 outings overall, putting him five points shy of matching his output from last season.

The defenseman set up a Chandler Stephenson tally in the second period. Theodore has four goals, nine assists, 81 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 32 contests overall. He'll continue to play in a top-four role with power-play time as a key part of the Golden Knights' defense.
