St. Louis Blues goaltender Joel Hofer backstopped his team to a 1-0 victory over the Utah Mammoth on Saturday, saving 18 shots for his second shutout of the season. Hofer ended a four-game losing streak with Saturday's flawless performance. The 25-year-old has recorded each of his two shutouts this month, but he is having trouble landing in the winning column. Following 11 starts, Hofer holds a 3-5-2 record. He has allowed 3.45 goals with a .877 save percentage. Despite some recent outstanding performances, Hofer has been mostly unreliable for fantasy teams.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett was the leading man in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, posting two goals and one assist. He scored the game's first and last goal while helping out Trevor Zegras on Philadelphia's fourth tally. After a disappointing start to the campaign, Tippett has looked like a different player lately. Over the last two weeks, he has notched 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in eight games. For the season, Tippett boasts 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 24 games. Tippett also provides hits regularly to fantasy teams, ranking third on the Flyers squad with 41.

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner recorded his second shutout of the season in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Seattle Kraken, stopping 26 pucks. Edmonton's No. 1 badly needed this one after getting pulled last time out against the Dallas Stars and finishing with a 12.14 goals-against average. Goaltending has once again been an issue for the Oilers, as Skinner has gone 9-7-3 across 19 starts. He has a 3.00 goals-against average and a .885 save percentage. Before Saturday's matchup, Skinner had recorded a save percentage below .900 in three of his last four appearances. The 27-year-old has won back-to-back starts only once this season, highlighting his lack of consistency.

Colorado Avalanche center Brock Nelson became the team's fifth player with a four-point game this season, finishing Saturday's 7-2 hammering of the Montreal Canadiens with two goals and two assists. Nelson, who surpassed the 600-point mark for his career, factored in each of Colorado's first four goals in the game. The 34-year-old matched his career high with the four-game performance, having last recorded as many points in a single game four years ago. Prior to Saturday's contest, Nelson was on a three-game scoring drought. However, he has had a decent campaign overall, amassing 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 25 games.
