Keegan Kolesar - Bends twine in overtime lossKolesar scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
ImpactKolesar's goal was his first of the year, and he's up to three points through six games. The 27-year-old has done well to play his role on the fourth line, picking up 18 hits and five blocked shots. While he figures to be a regular presence in the Golden Knights' lineup, his fantasy value is likely to be limited to deeper formats.

Brett Howden - Deposits goalHowden scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers.
ImpactHowden is up to three goals in six games this season, which is pretty good work for a fourth-liner. He may not stay in that role much longer -- Vegas swapped Howden and Tanner Pearson mid-game Saturday. The Golden Knights' wing depth is a little shaky, so Howden may get a chance to see more middle-six opportunities throughout the year. He brings a physical edge, though he's produced just four hits and five blocked shots in addition to 15 shots on net and a minus-3 rating so far.

Eetu Luostarinen - Scores again SaturdayLuostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactThere was plenty of ice time available for Luostarinen in a 10-forward lineup, and he logged a season-high 21:47. The 26-year-old has two goals over his last three games, and he's up to three tallies over seven contests this season. He's yet to record an assist, but the Finn has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating while playing in a middle-six role.

Gustav Forsling - Scores overtime game-winnerForsling scored the game-winning goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactThe six shots were a season high for Forsling, who also logged 28:07 of ice time despite the Panthers dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old is off to an excellent start this season, producing two goals, two assists, a plus-9 rating, 14 shots on net, five blocked shots and four hits over seven contests. He's recorded at least 37 points in three straight regular seasons, and while Forsling sees minimal power-play time, he more than makes up for it with steady even-strength offense.

Aaron Ekblad - Ends drought with two helpersEkblad picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactThe veteran blueliner had failed to record a point in five straight games, but Ekblad got off the schneid by helping set up tallies by Sam Reinhart in the second period and Eetu Luostarinen in the third. Adam Boqvist has been handling the point on the Panthers' top power-play unit but has just one point, an assist, through his first six contests this season -- if Ekblad gets rolling, he could reclaim that spot fairly quickly.

Anton Lundell - Two helpers in OT win over VegasLundell collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactThe 23-year-old center continues to take advantage of the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Lundell has erupted for four goals and seven points over the last four games while skating in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, an assignment he seems likely to retain at least until the end of the month.

Sam Bennett - Two-point performance in OT winBennett scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. He also recorded five shots, three hits and a plus-1 rati...
ImpactThe 28-year-old banged home his fourth goal of the season early in the second period, then helped set up Gustav Forsling for the winner with just 17 seconds left in OT. Bennett has had a strong start to the season for a Panthers squad currently missing Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness), piling up seven points in the first seven games.
