Hryckowian scored a goal and put out four hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Hryckowian gave the Stars a lead late in the first period off feeds from his linemates Colin Blackwell and Sam Steel. With the tally, Hryckowian is up to 11 goals, 24 points, 71 shots on net, 106 hits and 33 blocked shots through 69 games this season. The 25-year-old center's first full season in the NHL has allowed him to showcase his strong all-around play style. He has five points over the last nine games to go along with 16 shots on net, 16 hits and eight blocked shots. He's emerging as a solid option in deep leagues that value category coverage.

Johnston tallied a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Vegas.

Johnston got back on the scoresheet in Sunday's game with his power-play goal midway through the first period. Overall, the 22-year-old center has 38 goals, 75 points, 181 shots on net, 41 hits and 49 blocked shots across 70 games this season. While he's already passed his career high in goals, points and blocked shots, Johnston is also on pace to set a new career high in assists. The young star has taken another step forward this season and remains an elite option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Necas recorded two assists in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

The 27-year-old found Gabriel Landeskog for the Avalanche's first goal early in the third period, then Necas helped set up Brock Nelson for the OT winner. Necas has been on fire since the Olympic break, collecting eight multi-point performances in 14 games. He has piled up 10 goals and 24 points in that span as he steams toward his first career 90-point, and potentially his first 100-point, campaign.

Miller picked up two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Jets.

The veteran center helped set up second-period tallies by Tye Kartye and Mika Zibanejad, but Miller himself was denied in the shootout by Eric Comrie. Miller hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 26, but he's stayed productive over 12 games since then by pocketing eight assists, with five coming on the power play.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers.

The 26-year-old winger completed his big game by potting the shootout winner. Vilardi has struggled to make a consistent impact in March, getting onto the scoresheet in only four of 12 games while collecting four goals and six points. Sunday's goal was his 27th of the season, tying his career high, and his 20th power-play point of 2025-26 -- the second straight campaign he's reached that mark.

Byfield scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Byfield was part of a pair of quick responses to Lawson Crouse goals in the first period. He set up Alex Laferriere on the Kings' first goal, and Byfield got the second one unassisted in the middle of the frame. The 23-year-old Byfield has two goals and three assists over his last four outings, giving him 15 goals, 38 points, 145 shots on net, 52 hits, 37 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 67 appearances on the year.

Stenlund recorded two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Stenlund has four helpers over his last four outings despite missing a game due to a lower-body injury in that span. The 29-year-old center continues to work in a bottom-six role, though he's gained enough responsibility to get extra minutes when protecting a lead or keeping a game close. He was also on the ice in overtime, picking up the secondary helper on Nick Schmaltz's game-winner. Stenlund is at 18 points, 58 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 36 hits and 24 PIM through 69 contests this season.

Schmaltz scored a pair of goals on seven shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Schmaltz had gone eight games without a goal, picking up just three assists with 20 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old was able to break out of the funk with a second-period tally, and he added the game-winning goal 1:46 into overtime. Schmaltz has a career-high 26 goals, including a personal-best seven game-winners this season. He's also at 63 points, matching his high-water mark from last year, while adding 172 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-23 rating through 71 appearances in 2025-26.

Strome scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Strome hadn't scored over the last seven games. He's still been productive in a middle-six role with six points across nine outings since he was dealt to the Flames. Overall, the 32-year-old forward has 15 points, 45 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 42 appearances between Calgary and Anaheim this season.

Frost scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Frost has three goals on 10 shots over his last four games. The 26-year-old has grown into a steady top-six role this season, offering decent offense on a low-scoring team. He's now at 17 goals, 35 points, 119 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 70 appearances. Frost is on pace to get back to the 40-point mark this season after missing it last year.
