Ostlund scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Ostlund had gone 14 games without a goal, picking up six assists and 12 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old has floated around the lineup at times but mostly fills a middle-six role with a spot on the second power-play unit. Ostlund is up to 11 goals, 26 points, 57 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 57 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first career game-winner.

Thompson scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Thompson had gone five games without a goal and four without a point after his four-assist effort versus the Lightning on March 8. The 28-year-old got back on track with a tally early in the third period to stretch the Sabres' lead to 4-0. Thompson has 35 goals, 71 points, 236 shots on net, 72 hits, 42 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 69 outings. He's on pace to top the 40-goal mark for the third time in four years.

Carrick scored twice on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Carrick has four goals and an assist over his seven games with the Sabres since he was dealt from the Rangers. The 34-year-old has provided stability at the faceoff dot, and he's chipped in some valuable depth scoring as well. For the season, he's at eight goals, seven assists, 66 shots on net, 97 hits, 33 blocked shots, 60 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 67 appearances. Carrick's recent run of offense could put him on the radar in deeper fantasy formats.

Copp scored an empty-netter in Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Canadiens.

Copp missed three games due to injury before returning to action ahead of schedule against Montreal on Thursday. He also had two shots in 18:19 of ice time. Copp has nine goals, 29 assists and 96 shots on net in 66 games this season.

Appleton left Thursday's game with 42 seconds left in the second period after an awkward fall, reports NHL.com. He did not return.

Appleton had been hit into the boards by Montreal forward Nick Suzuki; there was no postgame update. Appleton has five goals and eight assists in 59 games this season. He's on an eight-game point drought, and he hasn't scored a goal in 2026 (28 games).

Frederic (undisclosed) didn't play in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Panthers, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

The Oilers did not provide an update on his status at the time of his injury or after the game. Frederic can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's contest versus the Lightning. If Frederic can't play, Roby Jarventie will likely get into the Oilers' lineup.

Uchacz registered three assists in AHL Henderson's 8-3 win over Calgary on Thursday.

Uchacz has four goals and six helpers during his six-game point streak. He crossed the 40-point mark with this effort, which has him at 13 goals and 28 helpers through 56 appearances this season. Uchacz also got into three NHL games this season, but he has yet to earn his first point for the Golden Knights.

Zibanejad scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. The assist came on the power play.

Zibanejad is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes two goals and two assists. He has 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in his last eight games; one goal and five assists have come with the man advantage. Zibanejad has been a true bright light on Broadway this season despite the team's miserable spot in last place in the Eastern Conference. He has 29 goals, 37 assists, 29 power-play points and 179 shots in 68 games this season. He's flirting with a potential 80-point season if he can keep firing. If he can pull it off, it would be Zibanejad's third season with at least that many points.

Jenner scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Jenner now has 10 goals, 21 assists and 107 shots in 53 games this season. Most of his production came earlier in the season. In his last 20 games, Jenner has just two goals and five assists.
