Laughton scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Laughton had gone eight games without a goal, picking up just one assist in that span. The 31-year-old center has retained a power-play role throughout the slump, which is a good sign for his production down the stretch, though he won't be a leader on offense. He's now at 11 goals, 17 points, 75 shots on net, 101 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 54 appearances between the Kings and the Maple Leafs this season.

Byfield scored an empty-net goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Byfield picked up his third straight multi-point effort with this performance. He set up Scott Laughton's first-period tally before depositing an empty-netter in the third. With the recent surge, Byfield is up to 18 goals, 42 points, 152 shots on net, 55 hits, 37 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances. He continues to look steady in a top-six role with ice time in all situations.

Savoie scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Savoie has scored in back-to-back games and has five points over his last seven outings. He's getting top-line usage at even strength and making the most of his opportunity alongside Connor McDavid, who set up his first-period tally Thursday. Savoie is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 112 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 73 appearances this season. He's earned 12 of his points over the last 15 contests since the Olympic break.

Hyman scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

With the tally, Hyman returned to the 30-goal mark for the third time in four seasons. The 33-year-old winger has earned three goals and an assist over his last six contests. For the season, he's up to 48 points, 154 shots on net, 49 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 54 appearances.

McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

McDavid's first helper was the 800th of his career, coming just one game after he reached the 1,200-point plateau. The 32-year-old kept rolling with a second-period tally and another primary assist to set up Evan Bouchard's game-winner in overtime. McDavid has four goals and two assists during his active three-game point streak. For the season, the superstar is up to 41 goals, 121 points, 263 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 73 appearances. He's the ninth player to secure at least four regular seasons of 120-plus points, and the second to achieve that feat this week after Nikita Kucherov did it Tuesday.

Cooley scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

Cooley stretched the Mammoth's lead to 3-1 late in the first period. The 21-year-old center had been limited to two assists and 12 shots on net over his previous nine outings. For the season, he has 18 goals, 31 points, 85 shots on net, 47 hits, 21 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 45 appearances. A 28-game absence due to a lower-body injury ruined his chances of matching his 65-point effort from last year, but Cooley's overall production is also a bit lower, particularly in the playmaking department.

Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle on Thursday.

Guentzel took a stretch pass from Darren Raddysh and went high over Philipp Grubauer's glove on a breakaway. He has four points (two goals, two assists; six shots) in his last two games. Guentzel has 33 goals, 43 assists and 188 shots in 71 games this season. His assist came on the power play where he has tallied 29 points. That's a new career mark.

Strome registered two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

Strome has three helpers over his last three games. He set up the last two goals of Alex Ovechkin's hat trick in this contest. The 29-year-old Strome has gone 17 games without a goal while earning just eight assists in that span, but he was back on the top line Thursday, which could help him finish the year strong if he stays there. Overall, the center has 53 points (19 on the power play), 132 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 71 appearances.

McMann scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory over Tampa Bay.

It's McMann's sixth goal in seven games (three assists; 20 shots) as a member of the Kraken and his 25th of the season. Two of the goals have come on the power play. McMann is a great fantasy play right now, and his success on the left coast will bolster his case for a solid raise in his new contract.

Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Coleman opened the scoring at 1:06 of the second period. He had gone five games without a goal, picking up five assists in that span. The 34-year-old forward continues to see top-six minutes down the stretch, which has allowed him to rack up nine points over 14 outings in March. He's at 17 goals, 30 points, 151 shots on net, 139 hits, 39 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances.
