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.

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

This outing gave Bedard two goals and five assists across six games in March. The superstar center is up to 27 goals, including four game-winners, as well as 35 assists, 172 shots on net, 38 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 52 appearances. Bedard is now just five points shy of matching his total from 82 contests a year ago.

Point put up two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Point has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in his past nine games, all since the Olympic break. He has 42 points, including 26 assists, and 96 shots in 46 games this season.

Guentzel scored twice Thursday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.

One came on the power play; the other went into an empty net. Guentzel has six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six games (20 shots). He is one goal from his sixth 30-goal campaign. Overall, Guentzel has 69 points (29 goals, 40 points) and 174 shots in 64 games this season.

Goncalves scored twice Thursday in a 4-1 win over Detroit. He fired five shots.

Both of his goals came in the third period. His second stood as the winner. Goncalves has three goals in two games since his return from injury. He also has six shots, five hits and three blocks in that span. Goncalves has 10 goals and 13 assists in 56 games; both are career marks.

Jankowski scored the Hurricanes' only goal in a 3-1 loss to St. Louis on Thursday.

Jankowski intercepted a Blues' pass in the neutral zone, made a move around the defender in the right circle, and he then roofed a shot over Jordan Binnington's blocker as he cut to the ice. Jankowski has a goal in each of his last two games. He has seven goals, nine assists and 47 shots in 52 games this season.

Nobert scored twice and added two assists in QMJHL Blainville-Boisbriand's 7-0 win over Baie-Comeau on Thursday.

Nobert has three goals and four assists over five contests in March. The Golden Knights prospect has matched his goal total from last season (28), but he's also enjoyed an uptick in playmaking with 48 assists for 76 points through 58 appearances this season. Nobert is still just 18 years old, so he should be able to elevate his offense further in 2026-27.

Matthews (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

Matthews took a knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas in the second period. The 28-year-old Matthews was able to end his 12-game goal drought with a power-play tally prior to his exit, but the injury is now a much more significant concern. More should be known about Matthews' status prior to Toronto's weekend back-to-back with games in Buffalo on Saturday and in Minnesota on Sunday.

Kozak (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Washington, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Kozak has also missed Buffalo's past four outings. He has two goals and four points in 39 appearances this season. Kozak might play on the fourth line once he's healthy, but it's also possible he'll be a healthy scratch.

Kampf (not injury related) won't draw into the lineup Thursday versus Buffalo.

Kampf has been waiting for his work visa after Washington acquired him from Vancouver on Friday. He has two goals and six points in 38 outings in 2025-26. Kampf will probably serve on the bottom six once he's available.
