Sean Couturier picked up two goals and one assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames.

Couturier registered the primary assist on James van Riemsdyk's power-play goal in the second period (2-2). He then added the go-ahead goal (3-2) less than a minute later, and his shorthanded marker gave the Flyers a 5-3 lead in the third frame. Philly held on to that two-goal late into the third period, but Calgary managed to tie the game thanks to two quick goals inside the final two minutes of regulation. Johnny Gaudreau then won the game in overtime for Calgary. Couturier has 12 goals and 23 points in 27 games this season.

Bryan Rust scores hat trick in loss to 'Hawks

Bryan Rust scored a hat trick in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Not only did he finish the game with three goals, but he also fired eight shots on net. Rust's first goal made it 2-1, his second made it 2-2 and his third tally tied the game at three.

Jonathan Toews scored a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Blackhawks blew 2-0 and 3-2 leads, but they still managed to come away with a victory. Toews helped set up Brent Seabrook's first-period goal (2-0). He also added an empty-netter and he helped set up Brandon Saad's empty-net tally. Toews finished the night with a plus-3 rating, two penalty minutes and one shot on goal in 18:38 of ice time. The 30-year-old has 14 goals and 27 points in 33 games this season.

Mathew Barzal nets 2 assists in loss to VGK

Mathew Barzal picked up two assists in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Islanders were down 1-0 in this one, but they went up 2-1 thanks to goals by Anthony Beauvillier and Adam Pelech. Unfortunately for the Isles, they weren't able to hang on to the lead. Barzal has picked up four assists in his last three games, but he hasn't found the back of the net since Nov. 23 (11 games). The 21-year-old has three goals and 25 points in 30 games this season. Even though his goal total is low, he's still worth using in standard fantasy leagues.
