Sissons scored a goal, added two hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

This was the 100th goal of Sissons' career, coming in his 740th game. He snapped a seven-game point drought with the tally. The 32-year-old forward is filling a bottom-six role as a key part of the Golden Knights' defensive structure, so he won't always get involved on offense that much. Sissons has five goals, nine points, 57 shots on net, 74 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 50 appearances this season. That puts him on pace for his worst campaign since he had back-to-back 15-point efforts in the abbreviated 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons.

Eichel scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Eichel has scored in three straight games and has three goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. This was his first multi-point effort since before the Olympics, when he had a goal and an assist Feb. 5 versus the Kings. The veteran center is up to 24 goals, 74 points, 210 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 58 appearances in a top-line role this season.

Jost scored twice on four shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Jost has three goals over his last two games, a rare burst of offense for the fourth-liner. He flipped a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with his tallies Thursday, though the Predators would later slip up and lose the lead. The veteran forward has just six goals, 11 points, 63 shots on net, 55 hits, 21 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-14 rating across 52 appearances. His offense will fade again, so Jost is not a must-have player in any fantasy format.

Tavares scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 6-4 win over the Ducks. He also had an assist.

It was Tavares' first goal in seven games. He had four shots. Overall, he has 23 goals, 31 assists and 161 shots in 66 games this season. Tavares sits eighth among active skaters in career scoring. He has 517 goals, 651 assists and 1,168 points in 1,250 games. Tavares is two points from equaling Bobby Hull (58th all time) and 11 points from Sergei Fedorov, who is 57th.

Rossi scored a goal, dished two assists, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

Rossi had a hand in all of the Canucks' goals, including scoring one to cut the deficit to one late in the third period. The 24-year-old center has talent, but injuries have limited him, as has playing on a poor Vancouver team since a December trade from Minnesota. Rossi is now at seven goals, 14 assists, 45 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 33 appearances this season. He continues to work on the Canucks' second line and also has a spot on the power play.

Roy scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Roy has scored twice in four outings with the Avalanche. While he was brought in to help the team's center depth, he played on the wing of Jack Drury in this contest. Roy is among the most versatile players on the roster, so he can move around as necessary to give head coach Jared Bednar new combinations. Roy is at seven goals (two on the power play), 22 points, 64 shots on net, 63 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 63 appearances between the Avalanche and the Maple Leafs this season.

Kadri scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Kadri has two points over his first three games to begin his second stint with the Avalanche. The 35-year-old forward has been playing on the wing, and he was alongside Nathan MacKinnon in this contest. If that role holds for Kadri, he could be poised for a big run late in the season. He has 13 goals, 43 points, 183 shots on net, 42 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-24 rating over 64 appearances between Colorado and Calgary this season.

Necas scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Necas' tally opened the scoring just 3:45 into the game. It was his 30th goal of the season, including eight tallies to go with nine assists over his last nine outings. The 27-year-old has cemented his star status in 2025-26, producing 79 points (17 on the power play), 156 shots on net, 68 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-45 rating across 61 appearances in a top-line role.

MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots, added three assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

One of MacKinnon's helpers came on the power play. The 30-year-old saw his seven-game point streak snapped after he was ejected in Tuesday's contest against the Oilers, but he made up for lost time in this outing. For the season, the superstar center has 44 goals, 108 points (25 on the power play), 285 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-58 rating through 63 appearances.

Nazar scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Nazar has earned three goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 22-year-old had struggled before the streak, but he's setting himself up to finish the season strong. He's up to 10 goals, 32 points (nine on the power play), 105 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-15 rating over 49 appearances.
