Roy scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

Roy has three goals over nine games with the Avalanche since he was traded from the Maple Leafs. The 29-year-old forward offers less upside since he's in a fourth-line role now, one that has often featured limited ice time -- he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in six games for Colorado. Overall, the veteran center has eight goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-2 rating across 68 appearances this season.

Nelson scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

Nelson's tally came 1:22 into the extra session. The 34-year-old has scored in back-to-back contests and is up to 32 goals, including a career-high nine game-winners, over 69 appearances this season. Nelson has added 25 assists, 166 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-11 rating, which has made him an excellent second-line center for the Avalanche.

Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Jets.

Zibanejad has scored in three straight games and has five goals and six assists over his last eight outings. The tally gave him a 30-goal campaign for the fourth time in his career. He's up to 67 points (30 on the power play), 183 shots on net, 91 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 69 appearances this season. He is slated to play in his 1,000th regular-season game Monday versus the Senators, who drafted him sixth overall in 2011.

Lowry scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers.

Lowry ended a 24-game goal drought with his first-period tally. He had seven assists, 26 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-5 rating in that span. Lowry remains a key part of the Jets' middle six as a defensive presence. He has accumulated five goals, 19 points, 61 shots on net, 119 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 58 appearances this season.

Svechkov signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract extension with Nashville on Monday.

Svechkov has accounted for three goals, 13 points, 60 shots on net and 51 hits in 58 games for the Predators this season. He also has five goals and three assists in 10 outings with AHL Milwaukee during the 2025-26 campaign.

The Kraken announced Monday that Winterton (illness) will take a temporary leave of absence from the team to attend to a family matter.

Winterton had missed the last two games due to an illness, and he'll now miss some more time due to a personal matter. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but Jani Nyman should continue to see increased playing time in his absence.

Larkin (leg) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Senators, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Larkin has been sidelined since early March due to a right leg injury, but he skated on the top line and with the first power-play unit during Monday's practice session, signaling that he's close to returning to action. Head coach Todd McLellan said after practice that Larkin is improving, but the 29-year-old will be monitored in the hours leading up to Tuesday's puck drop before the Red Wings determine his status.

Horvat scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Horvat pushed his point streak to three games with this goal, as he found the back of the net with a snap shot at the 1:25 mark of the first period. The 30-year-old also ended a five-game goal drought. Despite that slump, he remains one of the most effective scoring threats on the Islanders' roster. He's up to 29 goals and 21 assists (50 points) across 57 appearances in 2025-26, including nine points over 11 outings in March.

Rempe (thumb) probably won't be ready to return before the end of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic on Monday.

Rempe remains on injured reserve and will miss his 14th straight game against Ottawa on Monday. Head coach Mike Sullivan admitted that he would be "surprised" if Rempe played again this season. The 23-year-old Rempe appears poised to finish the 2025-26 campaign with one goal, 15 shots on net, 86 hits and 11 PIM in 26 appearances.

Jarvis recorded a goal and two assists, all on the power play, in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

The Hurricanes went 3-for-5 on the power play in this win, and every time they inflicted damage, Jarvis was involved. The 24-year-old forward seems to have left behind a slow start to March since he's notched six points (one goal, five assists) amid a three-game point streak. For the sake of comparison, he recorded just seven points (two goals, five assists) in his previous eight outings in March before this streak. Jarvis should continue to find ample ways to crack the scoresheet as long as he continues to play on the top line in both even-strength and power-play situations.
