Marchessault recorded a pair of assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Marchessault has five assists during his seven-game goal drought. The 35-year-old winger has remained productive while picking up 15 shots on net in that span, but he could use some better puck luck. He's at 23 points, 110 shots on net, 62 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 48 appearances this season.

Lafferty was in the lineup for a fourth straight game Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Lafferty has played in just six of 28 games since the start of January, though he has seen an uptick in usage since Oliver Moore (lower body) exited the lineup. However, Lafferty could be the player to lose his place once Sacha Boisvert's visa paperwork is completed, paving the way for him to join the Blackhawks. In a part-time role this season, Lafferty has earned a meager two points with six shots on net, 29 hits and 14 PIM over 23 outings.

Greene scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Greene has two goals and an assist over eight games in March. He's getting a look on the top line, but his offense is still a work in progress at this early stage of his career. The 22-year-old is up to nine goals, 24 points, 92 shots on net, 38 hits and 33 blocked shots over 66 appearances in his rookie year.

Crosby (lower body) is set to be activated off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Carolina, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

Crosby suffered the injury while playing for Team Canada during the 2026 Winter Olympics and has missed Pittsburgh's past 11 games as a result. He has 27 goals and 59 points in 56 appearances with the Penguins in 2025-26. Crosby is projected to center the top line and play alongside Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust. Anthony Mantha is moving off the top unit, while Ville Koivunen is expected to be a healthy scratch.

Nazar produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

After helping to set up a first-period tally by Louis Crevier, Nazar forced OT by converting a Connor Bedard feed on a two-on-one break with only 100 seconds left in regulation. Nazar has delivered multi-point performances in four of the last six games, a stretch in which the 22-year-old center has racked up four goals and nine points.

Bedard notched two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

The 20-year-old center was a big reason why Chicago even came away with a point in the standings, as Bedard helped set up tallies by Ryan Greene in the second period and Frank Nazar in the third to erase an early 3-1 deficit. Bedard has produced multi-point performances in three of the last four games, and in 10 contests since the Olympic break, he's amassed four goals and 11 points. Despite missing 12 games in December and January due to a shoulder injury, he needs only three more goals to reach 30 for the first time, and he's six points shy of his first 70-point campaign.

Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston.

The 26-year-old center got Montreal on the board midway through the first period, getting the puck right on Jeremy Swayman's doorstep and flipping a backhand past the netminder. Suzuki also set up Cole Caufield's game-winner. Suzuki has five multi-point performances in 10 games since returning from the Olympics. Tuesday's effort pushed him up to 80 points (24 goals, 56 assists) on the season, marking the second straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone.

Zacha scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal.

The 28-year-old center gave Boston a pair of one-goal leads early in the first and second periods, but it was all the offense the visitors could muster. Zacha has been on a tear in March, racking up seven goals and 11 points in nine games to carry him to a career-high 22 goals on the season. He sits one point shy of his third career 50-point campaign.

Henrique recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Henrique picked up the lone helper on Vasily Podkolzin's goal in the first period before earning another primary assist on Max Jones' game-winning goal. Overall, Henrique has 10 assists, 12 points, 74 shots on net and 62 blocked shots across 52 games this season. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Henrique stepped up in a more offensive role Tuesday, opposed to his usual defensive style. While the 36-year-old forward will likely stay in the bottom six, he could see an uptick in production if his first game since Draisaitl's absence is an indicator of what's to come.

Hyman tallied a goal, placed three shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.

Hyman sealed the deal for the Oilers with his goal just minutes after Max Jones' go-ahead tally. With the twine finder, Hyman now has 29 goals, 46 points, 150 shots on net and 39 hits across 50 games this season. The 33-year-old winger has been an effective goal scorer since the Olympic break with seven goals, 10 points and 31 shots on net over Edmonton's last 11 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, Hyman will likely shoulder more offensive responsibilities down the stretch.
