Penguins' Noel Acciari: Lights lamp Saturday
Acciari tallied a goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Dallas.

Morrison has been reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley by the Kraken, the team announced Sunday.

Justin Hryckowian C | DAL
Stars' Justin Hryckowian: Finds twine Saturday
Hryckowian scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
Hryckowian found the back of the net for the second time in his last four games to put the first tally on the board for the Stars. Overall, the 25-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 26 points, 73 shots on net, 108 hits and 35 blocked shots across 72 games this season. Hryckowian has grinded his entire hockey career to reach this point after going undrafted during his years of eligibility, and his strong all-around numbers reflect his work-hard story. Since March 6, he has four goals, seven points, 18 shots on net, 18 hits and 10 blocked shots over 12 games. He has solid fantasy value as a streaming option in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Mavrik Bourque C | DAL
Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Deposits two empty netters
Bourque scored two empty-net goals on two shots and registered an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Bourque played a hand in each of the last three goals scored by Dallas on Saturday when he slid the primary helper on the team's fourth goal of the second period before scoring two empty-net tallies to seal the deal in the third. With the trio of points, the 24-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 19 assists, 130 shots on net, 65 hits and 20 blocked shots across 73 games this season. With Bourque officially playing as many games as he did in his first full year with the Stars, the sophomore forward has taken a step up in all major stat categories apart from blocks. He has become a factor for Dallas offensively with five goals and 12 points over his last 14 games. Bourque is a solid streaming option in fantasy for the time being, and his value is increasing in dynasty formats.

Will Smith C | SJ
Sharks' Will Smith: Two helpers Saturday
Smith pocketed two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over Columbus.
The 21-year-old had a hand in both of Igor Chernyshov's tallies as the Sharks' precocious top line of Smith, Chernyshov and Macklin Celebrini combined for three goals and six points. Smith has two multi-point efforts in the last three games, and on the season he's collected 21 goals and 49 points in 58 contests.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Two points in Columbus
Celebrini scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Both points came in the third period as the Sharks rallied from a 2-1 deficit. Celebrini shook off a brief scoring lull with the performance, having managed just two assists in his prior six games. The 19-year-old phenom has delivered 36 goals and 98 points in 71 contests, putting him on the verge of becoming the first teenager since Sidney Crosby in 2006-07 to reach triple-digit points, and just the sixth in NHL history -- a list that also includes Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
