T. Demko - G

VAN

The Vancouver Canucks will start Thatcher Demko on Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens.

Fantasy owners hoping Demko would start over the Braden Holtby have disappointed. Regardless, Demko should still be splitting work with Holtby and will be fantasy relevant this season. You could do worse tonight.

B. Nelson - F

NYI

Brock Nelson posted a goal with an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Nelson ended up with two shots on goal and a hit in 20:28 of ice time across 27 shifts and he won 11 of his 15 faceoff tries (73.3 percent). It was Nelson's first multi-point performance in the regular season since March 10, 2020 in Vancouver, the last game for the Islanders last season before the regular season was paused due to the global pandemic. He showing signs of life, lighting the lamp in four of his past seven games with four goals and five points.

S. Varlamov - G

NYI

Semyon Varlamov allowed four goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime home loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Varlamov and the Islanders took a 1-0 lead into the room after 20 minutes, and Mathew Barzal fired in a goal just 94 seconds into the second period to make it 2-0. Then the wheels came off, as Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal at 2:17 of the second with Kris Letang scoring 26 seconds later to make it 2-2. Josh Bailey gave the Islanders another lead heading to intermission, but Varlamov couldn't hold it again. Jared McCann scored early in the third, and Letang notched the game-winning tally in overtime.

K. Letang - D

PIT

Kris Letang registered two goals and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Letang scored an even-strength goal at 2:43 of the second period to level the game 2-2, and he returned in overtime with help from Sidney Crosby, bagging the game-winning goal. He also had the only assist on Sid the Kid's power-play marker early in the second. It was the veteran's second game-winning goal in four outings against the Islanders. He is also working on a four-game point streak, posting four goals and seven points, including a goal and two helpers on the power play.

T. Jarry - G

PIT

Tristan Jarry allowed three goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime road win against the New York Islanders.

Jarry lost his first showing against the Islanders this season, but he has rattled off three victories in a row against the Isles. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.95 goals-against average and .936 save percentage in his past three showings against the Isles. It's unlikely he'll be tasked with the start Sunday at 5 p.m. ET., but you know never. If he rests then in favor of Casey DeSmith, these teams will meet against March 27-29, so fantasy managers and DFS players will want to remember those dates.

M. Smith - G

EDM

Mike Smith allowed four goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 4-0 home loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Smith opened 6-0-0 for the first time in his NHL career, but he just didn't have it in this one. William Nylander scored on the power play at 14:37 of the first period, with Mitch Marner adding a second goal just 73 seconds later. That appeared to rattle Smith a little. he also allowed goals to Jason Spezza midway through the second, and Zach Hyman later in the third. Smith and the Oilers will look to rebound Monday in the second end of the double dip against the visiting Maple Leafs.

J. Tavares - F

TOR

John Tavares ended up with two assists in Saturday's 4-0 win against the Edmonton Oilers.

Tavares ended up with a plus-1 rating and a team-high five shots on goal with one hit in 18:07 of ice time across 24 shifts. He also won 13 of his 18 faceoff attempts (72.2), which was quite impressive. It was just his second multi-point showing in the past 12 games. he was able to extend his point streak to four straight games against the Oilers, and he has one goal and six points in five outings against Edmonton this season.

The Montreal Canadiens don't expect Josh Anderson (lower body) to be out for long.

Anderson is likely to make his return next week. He was hurt during Thursday's game and missed Saturday's contest as a result.

M. Marner - RW

TOR

Mitch Marner was good for a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-0 road victory against the Edmonton Oilers.

Marner ended up with a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal and a hit in his 18:32 of ice time across 24 shifts. After his first two-game scoreless streak of the season, Marner was back with his third multi-point showing across the past five outings, and his 10th performance with two or more points this season. Overall the superstar has 10 goals and 32 points in just 22 games. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Monday's rematch in Edmonton.

J. Campbell - G

TOR

Jack Campbell turned aside all 30 shots he faced in Saturday's 4-0 shutout victory on the road against the Edmonton Oilers.

Campbell posted his first shutout in a Leafs sweater, and the third of his NHL career. It was his first since March 25, 2019 at Calgary when he was a member of the Los Angeles Kings. There's something about the province of Alberta that gets him going, apparently. It was an impressive showing considering he was returning from long-term injured reserve after dealing with a leg injury. His return to the crease comes at a good time with Frederik Andersen nursing a lower-body injury, leaving Campbell and Michael Hutchinson to hold down the fort.

A. Khudobin - G

DAL

Anton Khudobin allowed five goals on just 17 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Khudobin was yanked early in the third period after Steven Stamkos notched the fifth and final goal of the game. Jake Oettinger came on and stopped all five of the shots he faced in relief. We'll see if head coach Rick Bowness goes right back to Khudobin for Tuesday's start against the Lightning at American Airlines Center, or if Oettinger is tabbed for the assignment. Khudobin has allowed four or more goals in three of his past five starts, and three or more goals in five of his past seven appearances.
