Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

Trocheck ended an eight-game goal drought with this effort. He still had nine assists in that span. The 32-year-old center is up to 13 goals, 46 points, 91 shots on net, 150 hits, 48 PIM, 42 blocked shots and 48 PIM over 51 appearances. Trocheck remains a bright spot for the Rangers while filling a top-six role.

Laba scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

Laba typically doesn't get much power-play time, but he was able to cash in while on the ice near the end of a Minnesota penalty. The 22-year-old's game has taken off lately with three goals and two assists over his last five outings. For the season, the rookie center has nine goals, 21 points (five on the power play), 60 shots on net, 94 hits, 40 blocked shots and 22 PIM over 63 appearances in a middle-six role.

Nugent-Hopkins (personal) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Predators, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Nugent-Hopkins missed Friday's game against the Blues, and his status for Sunday is up in the air after he didn't participate in line rushes during the morning skate. The 32-year-old has enjoyed another solid season, registering 50 points (17 goals, 33 assists) in 57 games. Matt Savoie has seen a big bump in usage during Nugent-Hopkins' absence, playing on the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman.

Kampf has returned home to Vancouver to be with his wife while they await the birth of their second child, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports Sunday.

Kampf hasn't suited up with the Capitals since being acquired due to issues with getting his work visa, and now he has another reason to miss some time with him and his wife expecting their second child soon. The 31-year-old has two goals and four assists in 38 games on the season. The Capitals have some time off and don't play again until Wednesday against the Senators.

Suzuki scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Suzuki found the back of the net in the second period with a snap shot, giving him 22 goals on the season. The star playmaker has been one of Montreal's best players since the Olympic break, notching 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in eight appearances. On the season, Suzuki is up to 76 points (22 goals, 54 assists), and if he stays healthy, he's on pace to surpass the career-best 89 points he delivered across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Celebrini recorded two goals and an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

Celebrini has found the back of the net in five of the Sharks' last six games, and while this was just his second multi-point performance during his ongoing eight-game point streak, the star playmaker remains a massive influence on offense for the Sharks. Celebrini has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) with 35 shots, six hits and 10 blocked shots in nine appearances since the Olympic break.

Hughes scored the game-winning goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over Los Angeles.

Hughes struck the back of the net on a power play late in the third period to record Saturday's go-ahead goal. Since the Olympics, the 24-year-old center has five goals, 12 points and 30 shots on net across nine games. Overall, he remains above a point per game on the season with 48 points across 45 appearances. Hughes has directly elevated New Jersey's offense when healthy this season and should continue to play a big role for the team both at even strength and with a man advantage. He holds high-end fantasy value in leagues that place a premium on offensive contributions.

Glass tallied a goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

Glass placed the first tally on the scoreboard Saturday with a goal just under eight minutes into regulation. He's up to 15 goals on the season, which is his new career high. Overall, the 26-year-old center now has 22 points, 88 shots on net, 35 hits and 31 blocked shots through 54 games this season. Glass has been highly efficient in March with two goals on just six shots on net. He also has an assist, three hits and four blocked shots over his last six games. His emergence as a low-end category coverage player gives him decent streaming value in deep fantasy leagues for the time being.

Hischier scored two goals, recorded two assists and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over Los Angeles.

Hischier scored his first goal of the game midway through the opening period before he played a hand in three of New Jersey's four tallies in the third. With the four-point outing, he is up to 23 goals, 27 assists, 172 shots on net, 51 hits and 53 blocked shots across 66 games this season. Saturday's game helped the 27-year-old center reach 50 points on the season, securing the half-century mark in points or higher for the fifth consecutive year. Hischier continues to offer strong category coverage for fantasy purposes, giving him strong value in most league formats for the remainder of the regular season.

Kopitar scored two power-play goals and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.

Kopitar made history Saturday, as his pair of power-play goals elevated him to 1,308 career regular-season points, surpassing Marcel Dionne as the Kings' all-time leader in points. The latter of Kopitar's two tallies was the 450th goal of his career. The 20-year NHL veteran now has 10 goals, 30 points, 72 shots on net and 46 blocked shots across 51 games this season. He's been soaring offensively since the start of March with four goals, seven points and 19 shots on net across seven games. Kopitar is poised to thrive offensively next to Adrian Kempe and Artemi Panarin moving forward, giving the top-line center solid fantasy value in most league formats.
