  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Islanders' Marc Gatcomb: Two points in Saturday's win

    Gatcomb produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

    The 26-year-old fourth-liner snapped a 12-game point drought and a 36-game goal drought with the performance, as he had a hand in the Islanders' first and last tallies during a five-goal second period. Gatcomb has just two goals and six points in 42 contests on the season, but he has dished 175 hits -- tying him for 25th in the NHL despite the fact that he didn't become a regular part of the Isles' lineup until December.

  • Islanders' Brayden Schenn: Three points against Panthers

    Schenn scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over Florida.

    The Islanders were down 2-0 after the first period, but Schenn led the charge in an immediate response as New York potted five goals in the second frame. It was the veteran center's first multi-point performance since joining the Isles at the trade deadline, and in 11 games for his new club, he has produced three goals and seven points with 22 shots on net, 19 hits, 17 PIM, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.

  • Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Slides trio of helpers

    Mittelstadt supplied three assists and dished out two hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

    Mittelstadt put on a playmaking clinic Saturday, as he picked up a secondary helper in the opening period before later recording the lone helper on two consecutive goals to close out the contest. Overall, he now has 26 assists, 40 points and 72 shots on net across 63 games this season. While his first full season with the Bruins has been an up-and-down campaign, he's been a frequent contributor from Boston's middle six with 12 assists and 16 points over his last 19 games. Mittelstadt holds solid streaming value in numerous league formats for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Finds twine twice in win

    Lindholm scored two goals, put three shots on net and had two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over Minnesota.

    Lindholm delivered down the stretch in Saturday's contest, as he put the Bruins up 4-1 early in the third period before picking up an empty-net tally to seal the win. The pair of tallies brought him up to 16 goals, 45 points, 102 shots on net, 35 hits and 54 blocked shots through 60 games this season. The 31-year-old center has five points over his last four games and has begun to shoot the puck more with 12 shots on net in that span. He is just two points away from matching his total of 47 through 82 regular-season games in his first campaign with Boston a year ago.

  • Pavel Zacha C | BOS

    Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Grabs two goals in win

    Zacha tallied two goals and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

    Zacha gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead in the first period before his second goal of the evening restored their two-goal lead at 5-3 in the third. The 28-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 56 points, 118 shots on net, 57 hits and 25 blocked shots across 70 games. He has been red-hot since the Olympic break with 11 goals over his last 15 games, which is tied for second in the league since Feb. 28. Zacha has 19 points, 30 shots on net and 14 hits in that span, making him one of the top waiver-wire pickups in all fantasy formats where available.

  • Maple Leafs' Jacob Quillan: Bags first career helper in loss

    Quillan notched an assist in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Blues.

    The helper was Quillan's first career point in 17 games, 16 of which have come this season. He's added nine shots on net, 27 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in his time with the Maple Leafs in 2026-27. There's no guarantee he stays in the lineup to close out the season, and even if he does, he'll likely be limited to bottom-six minutes.

  • Pius Suter C | STL

    Blues' Pius Suter: Tallies shortie Saturday

    Suter scored a shorthanded goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Suter's goal put the Blues ahead 3-1 in the third period. The 29-year-old forward continues to be a key defensive contributor even though he's in a bottom-six role. Suter has added four goals and an assist over his last 10 outings, giving him 12 goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 55 appearances this season. He hasn't come close to matching his 25-goal, 46-point performance from 81 contests with the Canucks last year.
