CANUCKS 4, BLACKHAWKS 1

-- Jannik Hansen sure is on a hot streak lately, and it's not just limited to last night's hat trick. Five of his eight goals have come in the last three games, even though he's only fired seven SOG. Hopefully you're aware that he can't sustain a 71 percent shooting rate.

(He's a nice complimentary player in reality, though, don't get me wrong.)

-- Here's something you don't see every day/week/month/year: Jonathan Toews suffered a -4 rating on Sunday, bringing his season total down to a relatively modest +1. He's been a +17 or better since 2009-10 and has never been below a +11 mark.

On the bright side, he might end up with the best offensive regular season of his career, as he has 18 points in 21 games played.

-- Seriously, pick up Kris Versteeg if you need wing help.

-- Bo Horvat generated three helpers last night. He only has six SOG in eight games.

-- Chris Higgins is one of the rare Canucks who might miss playing John Tortorella's style. Or, at least fantasy owners might miss that version of Higgins, as he's firing fewer SOG (though there's nothing particularly wrong with 54 in 21 games played).

-- Congrats to Daniel Sedin for his 1,000th game.

RANGERS 5, CANADIENS 0

-- The snowfall in Buffalo makes it a BIT hard to tell how seriously we should take New York’s two-game shutout streak. That postponement meant that the Rangers got quite a break between Wednesday and Sunday games. Either way, winning their last games by a combined score of 7-0 is awfully comforting after starting the month off losing seven of nine.

-- For a while now, it seems like the Rangers have been leaning toward breaking up Rick Nash and Martin St. Louis. St. Louis has been skating with Chris Kreider and Derek Stepan while Nash has been with Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello. Not a bad idea to try to spread the wealth, as the Rangers enjoyed serious depth on offense during their 2014 postseason run.

-- Dustin Tokarski fell to 3-2-0 with a .919 save percentage and 2.37 GAA in six games played. He seems capable of giving Montreal solid backup work going forward.

-- Quite a game for Kreider: two assists, +2, seven SOG and five hits. He's quite a monster in peripheral stats.

-- Carl Hagelin's one of the better depth forwards in the NHL, I'd wager. Doesn't mean you should add him, though.

DUCKS 2, COYOTES 1

-- Patrick Maroon (three percent owned) and Kyle Palmieri (one percent) are somewhat intriguing, as they have the potential to format a capable second line alongside Ryan Kesler. I'm especially interested in Palmieri: in four games, he has two goals, four PIM, 10 hits and nine SOG. Maroon isn't bad either, with eight points, 14 PIM, 20 hits and 23 SOG in 14 GP. (Plus you can make jokes about being lost in outer space with Maroon.)

I wouldn't necessarily add either, but keep an eye on one or both.

-- The bad news for Mike Smith is that he lost, again. The good news is that he played pretty well, stopping 28 out of 30 shots. Devan Dubnyk has savagely out-played Smith so far, but Arizona has a lot invested in Smith, so you don't have to speculate much about which goalie will get the benefit of the doubt.

I'd still consider a short-term add of Dubnyk, though. A competent goalie in Dave Tippett's tight system can pay nice dividends.

-- Keith Yandle's had a tough November, with one three-game and one five-game scoring slump. Perhaps it's seasonal malaise, but I'd like to see him at least make more attempts than he's been creating, as he seems far removed from regularly putting up six SOG. Not time to panic, but a little disappointing, and Arizona needs his offense badly.

-- Good to see Frederik Andersen bouncing back. Hopefully you didn’t overreact to his struggles.

BLUES 4, JETS 2

-- Is Alexander Steen starting to rev it up? He scored a goal on seven shots on Saturday and collected two assists on Sunday. With 62 SOG in 21 games, he's in line for an upswing (he's only connecting on 6.2 percent of his shots so far). It looks like a very small number of owners turned on him (88 percent owned), so grab him if you have the rare chance.

-- Alex Pietrangelo is also starting to get it going, with four assists in his last two games. He's not getting very good puck luck, either (just one goal on 49 SOG), so expect better things from him, too.

-- Paul Stastny scored four points in his first two games. He has two goals and zero assists since then, and yesterday's tally was an empty-netter.

It's kind of fitting that he remains a good possession player (disappointing-to-just-OK scoring results, big contracts and nice possession stats seem to be his calling cards) through all this. As ridiculous as the “STL Line” has been for the Blues, St. Louis should be heartened that they’re playing well even as so many key players are off to slow starts.

-- Jake Allen's been a fine 1B for the Blues: 6-2-0, .923 save percentage and two shutouts. I don't think St. Louis will complain if both goalies seem like good options going forward.

-- Evander Kane had a nice peripheral night: six PIM, two SOG and a ludicrous 10 hits. Gotta love players that can win you categories even if they don't have a good offensive night.
