Drake Batherson recorded one goal and two assists on three shots in 18:57 Thursday as the Senators fell 6-5 in overtime to the Kings. The three-point performance came with one hit and an even plus-minus in the loss.

The line represents a strong night from a player already producing 0.88 points per game in his recent averages, meaning fantasy managers were already pricing in this level of output before Thursday's game. His underlying play grades 79 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.
