Senators' Ridly Greig: First point in six games
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.

Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Nets PP goal Saturday
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.

Blues' Dylan Peterson: Pots pair for Springfield
Peterson scored twice in AHL Springfield's 5-3 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Peterson has three goals over his last four games. He hasn't done much overall this season, earning 11 goals, 21 points and a minus-12 rating over 48 appearances this season. That's right in line with his 22-point effort over 52 regular-season contests a year ago, but it's a level of offense that won't earn him an NHL look any time soon.

Jets' Jaret Anderson-Dolan: Pots pair of goals in AHL loss
Anderson-Dolan scored twice in AHL Manitoba's 4-3 loss to Tucson on Saturday.
Anderson-Dolan has filled an organizational depth role this season, spending the whole campaign with Manitoba. He has 11 goals and 26 points over 58 outings for the Moose, including three goals and a helper over his last four contests. At this point, it doesn't seem likely that he'll get a call-up before the end of the season.

John Tavares C | TOR
Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Hits 25 goals for 14th time
Tavares scored a goal and was plus-two in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday.
The plus-2 is notable, considering how many goals the Senators piled up Saturday. Tavares has a goal in each of his last two games and five points (three goals, two assists) in his last six outings. The goal was his 25th of the season, marking the 14th time in 17 campaigns that Tavares has hit that total. His 518 goals are the fifth-most among active NHLers.

Christian Dvorak C | PHI
Flyers' Christian Dvorak: Career season continues
Dvorak scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in a 4-1 victory over San Jose on Saturday.
He scored on a power play early in the third frame on a wrist shot from the left wing. It was Dvorak's first goal in nine games, but he chipped in three assists during that span. Overall, he has 14 goals, 27 assists and 130 shots in 68 games this season. That's already a new career mark, and he has an outside shot at a 50-point campaign.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Continues to climb record lists
Celebrini delivered an assist Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers.
Celebrini's 96 points (35 goals, 61 assists) in 68 games put him fifth on the NHL's overall scoring list. More impressively, he moved past Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier for the seventh-highest single-season point total by a teenager. Celebrini also tied Joe Thornton (2007-08) for the third-highest season total in Sharks history. He's on pace for a whopping 116 points this season, which would eclipse Jumbo Joe's franchise mark of 114 (2006-07).

Ryan O'Reilly C | NSH
Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Two-point effort Saturday
O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over Vegas.
The veteran center helped set up Nashville's first goal of the afternoon by Steven Stamkos just 40 seconds into the first period, before potting the game's final tally late in the second. It was O'Reilly's first multi-point performance since Feb. 4, and on the season, he's delivered 24 goals and 64 points in 68 games.

Steven Stamkos C | NSH
Predators' Steven Stamkos: Three points against Vegas
Stamkos scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
The 36-year-old delivered his best performance since the Olympic break, producing his first three-point effort since Feb. 4 and his first multi-goal game since Feb. 2. The GWG was also Stamkos' 10th of the season, the first time he's reached double digits in that category since 2021-22. Stamkos is up to 33 goals and 55 points through 69 games on the season, and he may need to stay hot if the Predators are going to hang onto a playoff spot -- they currently sit in the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Brad Lambert C | WPG
Jets' Brad Lambert: First multi-pointer of career
Lambert scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to Pittsburgh.
The marker was a goal scorer's snipe. Lambert collected a loose puck in the neutral zone and bulled his way to the high slot where he wired a wrist shot past Arturs Silovs. The goal pushed the Pens up 4-3 near the midpoint of the third period. It was Lambert's second career goal and first multi-point game. He has four points, including three assists, in his last four games and five points (two goals, three assists) in 12 contests this season.
