Strome scored a power-play goal on two shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Strome snapped his 17-game goal drought at a good time, tying the game at 4-4 in the third period. The center wasn't done with clutch moments, delivering the lone tally in the shootout to help the Capitals get a big win. The 29-year-old is up to 17 goals, 54 points (20 on the power play), 134 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 72 outings. Strome has four points over his last four contests and may be bouncing back late in the campaign after struggling out of the Olympic break.

Pettersson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and fired three shots on net in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Pettersson has earned five assists over his last four contests, with four of them coming on the power play. The 27-year-old has four multi-point efforts in March. While he's hardly had the production worthy of the role, Pettersson remains the top-line center for lack of better options in Vancouver. He's at 15 goals, 45 points (18 on the power play), 113 shots on net, 56 hits, 99 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 64 appearances. That's an exact replication of his scoring line from 64 contests a year ago, which is discouraging that he wasn't able to shake off a down season.

Strome scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

Strome tallied at 1:32 of the second period and then set up Olli Maatta's goal a few minutes later. The 32-year-old Strome has made the most of his new opportunity in Calgary, seeing steady middle-six minutes since he was traded from the Ducks. He's earned nine points over 12 outings as a Flame, matching his total for the year over 33 appearances for the Ducks. Strome also has 51 shots on net, 19 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-7 rating across 45 contests overall.

Frost scored a goal, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

This was Frost's first multi-point effort since March 7 versus the Hurricanes. He has four goals and two assists over his last seven outings. The 26-year-old center also won 16 of 21 draws Saturday. He has been good at the dot all year, winning a career-best 57.0 percent of his faceoffs. Frost is up to 18 goals, 20 helpers, 121 shots on net, 47 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 73 appearances. He looks poised to get back over the 40-point mark after missing it last year.

Kopitar scored a goal, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Kopitar got the Kings on the board in the first period, but the Mammoth's offense was overwhelming. This tally snapped a three-game point drought for the center. He's up to 12 goals, 34 points, 85 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-15 rating over 58 appearances. Kopitar will look to give everything he's got over the last few weeks of the regular season as he looks to get one more chance in the playoffs in his farewell campaign.

McBain scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

McBain has three goals over his last seven games. The 26-year-old continues to offer elite physicality from the third line, though that hasn't come with a lot of offense this season. He's at nine goals, 25 points, 106 shots on net, 269 hits, 84 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 74 appearances. McBain needs two more points to match his career-best total from last year.

Kyrou delivered two assists in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Kyrou's season has been largely forgettable -- he has just 39 points in 62 games after putting up at least 67 in four straight regular seasons. Kyrou may be warming up -- he has four points (two goals, two assists) and six shots in his last four games. It's still hard to trust him, though, so approach activation with caution.

Schmaltz scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Schmaltz has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings. He stretched the Mammoth's lead to 5-1 in the second period of this contest. The 30-year-old has put up strong numbers all season and is now at 27 goals, 65 points (15 on the power play), 177 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating over 74 appearances. Schmaltz has a chance to reach the 30-goal and 70-point thresholds for the first time in his career if he can keep up his offense to close out the regular season.

Kerfoot scored two goals in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Kerfoot reached the 300-point mark in his career with a helper Thursday versus the Capitals, and he continues to show some skill as a depth scorer. He's earned three goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. For the season, the veteran forward has 10 points, 23 shots on net, 23 hits, 23 PIM, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 26 appearances, mainly featuring in a fourth-line role.

Cooley scored twice on three shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kings.

Cooley's pair of goals came late in the first period. The latter tally was on the power play and stood as the game-winner, his career-best third GWG of the season. Cooley has reached the 20-goal mark in all three years of his career so far, though it took him just 46 contests in 2025-26. He's added 13 helpers, seven power-play points, 88 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-4 rating. This was his fifth multi-goal effort of the campaign.
