Zacha logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.

A concussion cost Zacha two games before the Olympics as well as the opportunity to represent Czechia at the tournament. The 28-year-old has played in both games since the break and looks to be fine handling a second-line role. He's up to 38 points, 89 shots on net, 43 hits, 22 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 56 outings this season.

Dach scored a goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.

Dach scored the team's fourth goal with a snap shot at the 16:34 mark of the second period. This was his third goal over his last six outings, and Dach has added three assists in this productive stretch.

Couturier scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

It's been a while since Couturier last lit the lamp, as his last goal was Dec. 7 versus the Avalanche. He compiled 10 assists, 55 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-8 rating during his 31-game goal drought. The veteran center looks refreshed coming out of the Olympic break, so he could pick up the pace moving forward. He has six goals, 28 points, 93 shots on net, 67 hits and 36 blocked shots over 58 appearances this season.

Suzuki scored an empty-net goal and added two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.

Suzuki assisted on goals scored by Cole Caufield and Kirby Dach in the first and second periods, respectively, before scoring a tally of his own with an empty-netter at the 16:44 mark of the final frame. Suzuki scored for the first time since Jan. 29 and recorded points for the first time since the league resumed after the Olympic break, as he was blanked in the 4-3 loss to the Islanders on Feb. 26. Suzuki remains one of the best players for Montreal and is up to 68 points (19 goals, 49 assists) in 59 contests in 2025-26. He's on pace to surpass the career-high 89 points he posted in the 2024-25 regular season.

Fantilli scored a goal, put two shots on net and recorded four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Despite Fantilli's tally coming near the end of the second period, it would hold up as the game-tying goal that would ultimately send the game to overtime. The 21-year-old center has a goal in both of the Blue Jackets' games since the Olympic break and is up to 15 goals, 39 points, 154 shots on net, 97 hits and 38 blocked shots across 58 games this season. While he got off to a slow start offensively to begin the campaign, he has dialed in his scoring prowess since the calendar flipped to 2026, with 14 points over his last 18 games. Fantilli has also leveled up his rate of producing category-coverage stats this season, making him an underrated option in most standard fantasy formats for the remainder of the season.

Lundestrom scored a goal, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Lundestrom put the Blue Jackets on the scoreboard with the lone tally of Saturday's first period. The twine finder brought him up to three goals, eight points, 36 shots on net, 22 hits and 20 blocks across 44 games this season. While he remains off the fantasy radar, he has noteworthily been more consistent in 2026 with two goals and three points across nine games.

Barzal dished out two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.

Barzal recorded an apple on each of the Islanders' final two goals Saturday, including Simon Holmstrom's game-winning tally in overtime. With the pair of helpers, Barzal is up to 37 assists, 54 points, 125 shots on net and 36 blocked shots across 59 games this season. The 28-year-old forward extended his point streak to six games (four goals, six assists). He remains a strong fantasy option in all formats while leading the Islanders offensively in their hopes to claim a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division.

Schwindt (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Schwindt is out indefinitely after getting injured in Thursday's 5-1 win over Toronto. He has contributed three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, eight blocked shots and 25 hits across 22 appearances this season.

Fabbri has been placed on waivers and designated a non-roster player, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Sunday.

The return of Robert Thomas (leg) from injured reserve means that someone had to clear the roster logjam. That was Fabbri, desginated a non-roster player and likely headed for AHL Springfield, if he clears waivers. The 30-year-old has appeared in 15 games with the Blues, notching a goal and three assists in those contests.

Misa scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over Edmonton.

The teenage rookie was the only Shark to produce multiple points on the afternoon. Misa gave his squad a 2-0 lead midway through the first period with his first career power-play tally, then helped set up Shakir Mukhamadullin for the game-winner in the third. Misa is beginning to live up to his pedigree as the second overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, delivering two goals and eight points over the last 10 games.
