1. Tage Thompson

Thompson hasn’t scored in three games on the heels of a six-game goal streak, but tonight presents a good opportunity for him to get back on the board.

Buffalo is still the hottest team in the league after its eighth-straight win out of the break, and the Sabres are getting respect as slight road favorites in St. Louis.

Thompson , with two assists in that win over Boston and another one before the break.

2. Macklin Celebrini

Celebrini is behind only Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon with 57 points on the season. The majority of those points have been assists, with 37 in 38 contests this year.

Celebrini comes into Anaheim riding a seven-game point streak, with 14 points in that span. He’s scored five times, but the majority of those points have been assists with nine.

Celebrini has recorded an assist in 24 of 38 games this season, including a three-assist performance against Anaheim back in October.

3. Brad Marchand

Marchand has 21 goals and 21 assists this season. He’s doing it all for the Cats.

Marchand set up a goal in four straight before failing to have an assist over the weekend, although he still scored against the Lightning.

Marchand and the Panthers host the Washington Capitals tonight. He has 13 of his helpers at home, and the Nova Scotia native tallied a pair of assists against the Caps in November.
