Minten scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.

Minten had gone six games without a goal, earning two assists in that span. The 21-year-old is filling a top-line role at even strength, though Elias Lindholm and Pavel Zacha still regularly see more ice time based on game situations. Minten has still had a strong first full NHL campaign, earning 17 goals, 34 points, 109 shots on net, 132 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 76 appearances, mainly in a middle-six capacity.

Zhilkin was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

Zhilkin spent the past week with the Jets and recorded an assist and two hits while averaging 6:16 of ice time over two appearances during his stint with the NHL club. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors.

Pinto scored his 20th goal of the season in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

The 25-year-old center wrapped up the scoring on the night with Ottawa's second empty-netter. Pinto has reached 20 goals in three of the last four seasons, and he's hit the 40-point plateau for the first time in 2025-26.

Greig produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over Buffalo.

After helping to set up Dylan Cozens for Ottawa's first goal late in the first period, Greig potted an empty-netter late in the third. It was Greig's first multi-point performance since Jan. 20, but he's closing in on career highs with 12 goals and 31 points through 70 games on the season.

Copp notched two assists in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Both helpers came in the third period on tallies by Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, as Detroit's second line combined for three goals and seven points. It was Copp's first multi-point performance since Jan. 24, and over seven games since returning from a leg injury in mid-March he's collected one goal and four points.

Bennett scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Bruins.

The veteran center gave Florida a 2-0 lead a little under eight minutes into the first period, ripping a rebound past Jeremy Swayman from the slot. It was Bennett's 26th goal of the season and his fifth GWG, and over 13 games since the beginning of March he's produced six goals and 12 points as the Panthers play out the string on a disappointing campaign.

Laughton scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Predators.

The second-period tally was Laughton's second goal in his last four games. The 31-year-old center continues to look steady in a third-line role with his new team. He's up to 12 goals, 18 points, 82 shots on net, 112 hits, 37 blocked shots and 27 PIM through 57 appearances between the Kings and the Maple Leafs. Laughton has some appeal in deeper fantasy formats, as he's seeing playing time in all situations.

Stamkos scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Stamkos bounced back from missing the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 36-year-old had the Predators' fourth goal of this contest, giving him six tallies and two assists over his last eight outings. For the season, Stamkos has enjoyed a bounce-back campaign with 37 goals, 59 points, 182 shots on net, 84 hits, 52 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 75 appearances.

Marchessault scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Marchessault set up Filip Forsberg in the first minute of the game and added a goal of his own early in the second period. It had been a month since Marchessault scored, though he picked up 10 assists over 14 outings between goals. The veteran winger is at 12 goals, 30 points, 123 shots on net, 68 hits and a minus-16 rating over 56 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Frost scored a goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Frost continues to score pretty well late in the season with five goals and two assists over his last nine outings. He's worked his way into steady middle-six work with power-play time. Frost is up to 19 goals, 39 points, 123 shots on net, 51 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 75 appearances. Frost's next goal would give him 20 in a season for the first time, and he's also on the verge of his third 40-point campaign.
