Geekie logged three assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Geekie's goal drought is up to nine games, but he has earned four helpers over his last two outings. The 27-year-old's regression comes at a rough time for fantasy managers, though he can still chip in with shots and hits even when the puck luck isn't on his side. The forward has 34 goals and 27 helpers for 61 points, all of which are career highs. He's added 158 shots on net, 98 hits, 27 blocked shots and 18 PIM over 69 contests this season.

Khusnutdinov scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Khusnutdinov had gone nine games without a goal, adding just two assists in that span. He put the finishing touch on this win with his empty-netter. While he's been in a top-line role at even strength lately, his lack of production could see him get bumped back down the lineup eventually. He's contributed 30 points (14 goals, 16 assists), 72 shots on net, 37 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating across 65 appearances this season.

Lindholm scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Lindholm snapped a seven-game slump with his first multi-point effort since Jan. 26 versus the Rangers. The 31-year-old center has found himself on the third line recently, though he gets enough usage in all situations to remain a top-six forward by ice time. Lindholm is up to 13 goals, 42 points, 94 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 33 hits over 57 appearances this season. He's missed the 50-point mark in each of the last two years but could get there if he heats up in the last few weeks of the campaign.

Suzuki notched four assists, three shots on goal, two hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Islanders.

Three of the four helpers came on the power play. The top-line trio of Suzuki, Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield led the charge in this contest, combining for five goals and 13 points. Suzuki has three goals and eight assists during a six-game point streak, and he's up to 85 points (39 on the power play), 152 shots on net, 54 hits, 54 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-27 rating through 69 appearances. Suzuki is well on his way to reaching the 90-point mark for the first time, and the century mark isn't out of the question given his high level of consistent production.

Newhook scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Islanders.

Newhook's goal tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. He's scored twice over his last four outings, giving him 10 goals and 20 points through 29 appearances this season. The 25-year-old has added 39 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-8 rating. Newhook is filling a second-line role at even strength and seeing some power-play time. A fractured ankle cost Newhook over three months earlier in the season, but he's shown no rust since his return.

Amadio scored a goal in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Amadio, who has a new career mark in points this season with 30, has been a surprising source of offense in March. He has four goals, four assists and 15 shots in 10 games. Amadio's 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists), coupled with 93 hits, 86 shots and 40 blocks, offer modest support for those of you in deep fantasy leagues.

Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a 3-0 lead at the 15:16 mark of the first period with a wrister, giving him 14 goals on the year. The 29-year-old winger wasn't done yet, and he assisted on Cole Sillinger's empty-netter as well. Olivier has two goals in his last three games, but the 29-year-old doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal as a bottom-six forward. Thus, Olivier shouldn't draw a lot of attention in most formats even if he's ending the season on a strong note.

Sillinger scored an empty-netter and added two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Sillinger closed out the scoring with an empty-netter at the 17:34 mark of the final frame after assisting on the goals by Damon Severson and Mathieu Olivier in the first period. Aside from being his second game with at least three points this season, with the first one coming back on Oct. 29, Saturday's outing also extended Sillinger's point streak to three games. His longest streak of the season was a four-point spree between Dec. 28 and Jan. 3. Sillinger has seven goals and 32 points through 68 appearances this campaign.

Greig scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over Toronto.

Greig rounded out the scoring after taking a pass in the slot and going forehand to backhand before ripping a shot glove side. It was Greig's first point in six games and his third point (two goals, one assist) in his last 16 outings. He has produced just 28 points through 64 appearances this season.

Kyrou scored a power-play empty-netter in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Kyrou closed out the scoring for the Blues with a backhander at the 19:12 mark of the final frame. This goal snapped Kyrou's five-game goal drought, and with just two points in his last six appearances, it's clear he remains on a cold stretch. Kyrou has only four points (three goals, one assist) in 12 outings after the Olympic break.
