  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Set to miss about two weeks

    Olivier (upper body) is expected to be out for a couple of weeks, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Tuesday.

    Olivier might miss the remainder of the regular season after getting injured in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Boston. He has collected 15 goals, 26 points, 93 shots on net, 209 hits and 101 PIM across 61 appearances this campaign. Due to Olivier's absence, Kent Johnson will play against Carolina on Tuesday.

    Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Slated to sit out rest of season

    Reinhart (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday.

    The Panthers have been dealing with a slew of injuries, and Reinhart is one of several players who will likely be shut down for the rest of this year. The goal-scoring winger will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with 29 markers, including six game-winners, 61 points (25 on the power play), 166 shots and a minus-18 rating over 64 appearances. While it's not currently known how his recovery process is going, Reinhart should have more than enough time to be ready for the start of training camp in September ahead of the 2026-27 season.

  • Leo Carlsson C | ANA

    Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Lights lamp twice in loss

    Carlsson scored two goals, fired four shots on net, recorded two blocked shots and had two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.

    Carlsson's second goal put the Ducks up 3-1 just over the midway point in the second period. Overall, the 21-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 63 points, 159 shots on net and 22 blocked shots through 62 games this season. Since March 15, he's tallied five goals and compiled 11 points over eight games. He's heating back up at the right time and has a chance to reach the 70-point mark for the first time in his three-year NHL career.

  • Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Scores game-winner Monday

    Gaudette scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

    This was Gaudette's third goal and fourth point since the beginning of March, and while it's hard to ask for a lot of fantasy production from a fourth-line forward, it's clear the 29-year-old forward came through when the Sharks needed him the most. He scored the game-winning goal with a wrister with 22 seconds left in the game. However, with only 16 goals and 24 points across 59 regular-season appearances, Gaudette doesn't have a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats, especially with the regular season entering its final stretch.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Surpasses 100-point mark

    Celebrini had two goals, including one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

    Celebrini has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, and this dominant effort Monday allowed him to clear the 100-point threshold for the first time in his career. The 19-year-old star center has been one of the best forwards in the league this season and has joined an exclusive group since only three other players have reached the 100-point mark this season: Connor McDavid (124), Nikita Kucherov (121) and Nathan MacKinnon (120). Celebrini, who has 19 points in 15 games since the beginning of March, will look to end the regular season on a strong note while carrying the Sharks in their playoff push for one of the two wild-card spots in the Western Conference.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Scores two PP goals

    Wennberg scored two power-play goals and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

    Wennberg pushed his point streak to three games with one of his best outings of the campaign, as he left his mark on each of the three power-play goals the Sharks tallied in this game. Wennberg has been productive in recent weeks and has tallied 11 points (five goals, six assists) across 14 games since the beginning of March. As a top-six forward who also operates as a playmaker in the power play, Wennberg should continue to see decent scoring chances in the final weeks of the campaign.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Back in action Tuesday

    Bennett (personal) will be in the lineup versus the Senators on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bennett returns to action after missing just two games for the birth of his child. With Bennett rejoining the team, he figures to be back in a first-line role and should see minutes with the No. 1 power-play unit. In his last 12 games, the 29-year-old center has notched six goals and five assists, including five power-play points.

  • Panthers' Evan Rodrigues: Set for surgery

    Rodrigues will undergo surgery for his broken finger, officially ending his 2025-26 campaign, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Rodrigues was already expected to miss the rest of the year, but the decision to have surgery will officially close the door on a potential return. As such, the 32-year-old center will end the year with 11 goals and 20 helpers in 69 contests, reaching the 30-point threshold for the fifth straight year.

  • Martin Necas C | COL

    Avalanche's Martin Necas: Three points against Flames

    Necas scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 9-2 rout of Calgary.

    The 27-year-old is red hot heading into April, racking up four multi-point performances in the last six games while producing four goals and 11 points total over that span. With nine games left on Colorado's schedule, Necas sits five goals away from his first career 40-goal campaign, and eight points shy of reaching 100 for the first time.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Three points in Monday's rout

    MacKinnon scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Monday's 9-2 romp over Calgary.

    It was the fourth time in the last 13 games that MacKinnon has produced at least three points. The 30-year-old superstar remains in the thick of the race for the Art Ross Trophy, with his 120 points in 72 games putting him four points back of Connor McDavid and one back of Nikita Kucherov, and MacKinnon's 49 goals has him three clear of Cole Caufield in the battle for the Rocket Richard Trophy.
