Frank Vatrano gets first hat trick with Panthers under his belt

Three shots on goal. Three goals scored. Vatrano's ($3,500) efficiency was on point against the Blackhawks, all of which was generated in the second period. It's the 25-year-old's first hat trick with his Florida team, which also equated to his best fantasy performance of the season. Vatrano's 37.30 DKFP led all skaters on the Tuesday night slate. This marks a five-game point streak for the Florida third-liner, which is the sort of depth a potential playoff team needs. The Panthers were able to fend off the surging Blackhawks in a 4-3 victory and extend their winning streak to six games. Seems like the ideal way to head into the All-Star break.

Hurricanes wingers storm past the Jets

With four goals scored in the first period, the Canes put themselves in a solid position to cruise to an eventual 4-1 win over the Jets. Two of those goals came from the stick of RW Justin Williams ($2,600; 27.50 DKFP), who was playing in just his second game of the season. It's a great sign for this Carolina team that's on the postseason bubble. But the biggest fantasy skater of the night was Teuvo Teravainen ($5,500), putting up 28.60 DKFP on a goal and two assists for his best performance of the season. The Canes get some rest as they host the Golden Knights on the Friday following the All-Star break.

Jakub Voracek • RW • PHI

Jakub Voracek key in Tuesday’s win

Voracek ($4,100; 19 DKFP) scored on one of his five shots on goal in the Flyers’ 3-0 win over the Penguins. It was just Voracek’s second goal in a month. Justin Braun ($2,500; 18.4 DKFP) and James van Riemsdyk ($3,800; 11.5) scored the other two goals. Despite the shutout win, goalie Brian Elliott ($7,600; 13.3 DKFP) had only a mediocre fantasy game, as the Penguins were only able to muster 19 shots, limiting his opportunity for saves.
