With another assist on Friday, the Czech veteran is up to six helpers through six games in January, putting a tough December in the rear view mirror. Oh, did we mention that Tatar is a career-best +25? Maybe our second plea to grab him will not fall on deaf ears. Do it!

Maybe the loss meant nothing given that the Buccaneers had already punched their third straight playoff ticket by clinching the NFC South, but in going down, they made some less than desirable history in becoming just the second team in a full (non-strike shortened) season to make the playoffs with a losing record.

Jones is capable of driving the ball, has strong playmaking skills, can pitch in with steals, and has flirted with double-doubles in three of his last four games. Yes, he’s mostly been a backup this season, but has still managed to enjoy his finest scoring campaign to date.

Prescott had looked very sharp for the last couple of weeks before a substandard effort on Thursday in which he was picked twice as part of his first three-turnover games of the season. That’s a growing concern as he’s now tossed 14 picks in just 11 games this year (including at least one in six straight contests) after only surrendering 10 in 16 games in 2021.

In fact, his nine points in nine games heading into Friday’s action ranked him atop the Hurricane leaderboard over this stretch — not too bad for a recently turned 34-year-old. Staal has seen more PT as the season has progressed and he’s rewarded the ‘Canes’ faith with production. While the veteran is playing well, he needs to be owned. Staal is never going to score a ton of goals, but remains a useful Fantasy option for now.

The pick offered mixed results as he was solid that month, barely played in February and missed March entirely, but really picked it up over the final two months of the season. Now in Minny, Rivers had been lighting it up all week until a very quiet game on Friday, although he’s still getting way more touches this month. The former Blue Devil has really shaken off a slow start to the season, perhaps caused by a hip woe suffered in late October.

Over three years later, the now 41-year-old netminder is in Buffalo, yet is still seeing quite a bit of time between the pipes. And why not? Anderson shut out the Kings on Tuesday (his first goose egg since 2018-19) and now has a sub-2.00 GAA in two of the first three months of the season. Want further proof that he’s enjoying a renaissance? Only six goalies that have played 10 games or more so far have better save percentages than Anderson’s .921 mark. He’s actually forcing his way into a bigger role, but the Sabres are being careful about his workload, so don’t expect him to play much more than he currently is.
