Otto Stenberg C | STL
Blues' Otto Stenberg: Recalled Monday
Stenberg was promoted from AHL Springfield on Monday.
Stenberg has appeared in 18 NHL games this season, earning one goal on 17 shots, seven assists and 33 hits while averaging 14:00 of ice time. Even with the 20-year-old center on the roster, he is far from a lock to suit up versus the Islanders on Tuesday.

Mavrik Bourque C | DAL
Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Point streak up to four games
Bourque scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
Bourque has posted back-to-back multi-point performances for the first time this season, and he's been on a tear since the beginning of March with six points (two goals, four assists) during a four-game point streak. The 24-year-old playmaker has set a new career-high mark in points with 29 in 63 regular-season contests after putting up 25 points in 73 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Connor Bedard C | CHI
Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Snaps scoring drought
Bedard scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
Bedard ended his three-game goal drought -- his longest since a four-game stretch from Jan. 22-27 -- when it mattered the most, as he evened things up at 3-3 with 1:20 left in the third period. Bedard continues to find ways to produce for a struggling Blackhawks team, and he has five points (three goals, two assists) in six games since the Olympic break, despite Chicago going 1-3-2 in that stretch.

Tage Thompson C | BUF
Sabres' Tage Thompson: Stellar playmaking display
Thompson recorded four assists, including three on the power play, in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
Thompson didn't find the back of the net in this high-scoring win, but he didn't need to do so in order to make a huge impact on offense after participating directly in four of the team's eight goals. His four assists were a season-best output for the 28-year-old playmaker, who's posted 15 points (six goals, nine assists) during his active 11-game point streak.

Brayden Point C | TB
Lightning's Brayden Point: Extends point streak
Point scored a goal in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.
Point was credited with a goal that gave the Lightning a 6-4 lead, but the puck was placed into the net by a Sabres defenseman. Still, this goal extended Point's streak to four games with at least one goal or assist. Over that four-game stretch, the 29-year-old center has two goals and three assists, but he's also racked up 10 points (five goals, five assists) in seven outings since the Olympic break.

Tommy Novak C | PIT
Penguins' Thomas Novak: OT hero against Bruins
Novak scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Sunday's 5-4 victory over Boston.
After helping to set up an Anthony Mantha tally in the third period, Novak capped a comeback from a 3-0 deficit by snapping a one-timer past Joonas Korpisalo. Novak is beginning to look more comfortable in a top-six role while Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) are unavailable. Through 10 games since the beginning of February, Novak has produced five goals and eight points.

Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Hat trick not enough Sunday
Zacha scored three goals, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
The 28-year-old center found the back of the net in each regulation period, but Zacha didn't get a chance to produce one more in OT as Thomas Novak ended the game just 17 seconds into the extra frame. The hat trick was the second of Zacha's career, and the power-play tally was his career-high seventh of the season. Over the course of a five-game point streak, he's collected four goals and eight points, and he's now at 19 tallies and 45 points through 60 contests overall.

Nathan MacKinnon C | COL
Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Plays hero in shootout win
MacKinnon scored his league-leading 43rd goal of the season and also potted the shootout winner in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Wild.
The 30-year-old superstar opened the scoring midway through the second period, snapping a quick shot from the faceoff circle past Jesper Wallstedt, and MacKinnon then beat the young netminder again to his glove side in the fourth round of the shootout. The goal extended MacKinnon's point streak to seven games dating back to Feb. 4, the Avalanche's last game before the Olympic break. Over that stretch, he's racked up three goals and 13 points. His 104 points on the season are second only to Connor McDavid's 108.

Jack Eichel C | LV
Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Tallies shortie in loss
Eichel scored a shorthanded goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Eichel got the Golden Knights back within one late in the third period, but the comeback effort fell short. The 29-year-old had been limited to two assists over five games since his turn with the gold-medal-winning Team USA Olympic squad. The center is up to 22 goals, 71 points, 204 shots on net, 32 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 56 appearances. His goal Sunday was his first shorthanded point of the campaign.

Colton Dach C | EDM
Oilers' Colton Dach: Logs helper with new team
Dach posted an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Dach has played in the last two games for the Oilers since he was included in the trade that also sent Jason Dickinson to Edmonton. The 23-year-old Dach is filling a fourth-line role for now, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him exit the lineup when Adam Henrique (knee) returns. Dach has a total of 10 points, 52 shots on net, 194 hits, 27 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-17 rating over 55 appearances this season. His opportunities are likely to be heavily limited with the Oilers.
