By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 9, 2026

Logan Stankoven scored three goals on five shots in 15:08 of ice time Thursday, October 8 as the Hurricanes routed the Canucks 7-2. One of his goals came on the power play, and he finished plus-2 with one blocked shot.

The hat trick vaults him well above his recent averages of 0.51 points and 2.2 shots per game, and his underlying play grades 93 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time. That elite process suggests his scoring has a foundation to build on.

Stankoven's three goals and five shots dwarf his recent marks of 0.23 goals and 2.2 shots a night. He managed those totals in 15:08, slightly below his usual 15:31 per game. The power-play goal came as a second-unit contributor, where he averages 1:29 of power-play time and ranks eighth among all Hurricanes skaters.

His 93-out-of-100 underlying grade means he generates shots and scoring chances at an elite rate relative to his ice time. With four games remaining this week on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday, Stankoven warrants immediate action in fantasy formats. The combination of top-tier process and a proven finish makes him a priority add wherever he sits on waivers.
