Pageau scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Pageau has four goals and an assist over his last four outings. The 33-year-old center is now at 12 goals, 24 points, 51 shots, 65 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 47 appearances. Pageau's always good for a few bursts of offense during every season, which puts him in streaming territory for the Islanders' three-games-in-four-days stretch prior to the Olympic break.

Jost notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

The helper ended a 12-game drought for Jost, who was scratched in three of the previous five games. The Predators aren't carrying an extra forward currently, opening the door for Jost to be a regular on the fourth line for a while, but he's often been scratched when the team goes to seven defensemen and 11 forwards. Jost is at eight points, 45 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-13 rating over 41 outings this season, a slower pace than his nine-point performance over 39 regular-season games in 2024-25 with the Hurricanes.

Suzuki logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

One of Suzuki's helpers came on the power play. This was his seventh multi-point effort in the last 10 games, a span in which he has four goals and 12 assists. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to 64 points (18 goals, 46 helpers), 118 shots on net, 43 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 55 appearances. Suzuki is on track to reach the 90-point mark for the first time in his career.

Kapanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Kapanen ended an eight-game goal drought with the empty-netter. The 22-year-old rookie has earned three points over his last two contests to break out of a slump. For the season, he has produced 17 goals, 13 helpers, 97 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 55 outings, primarily in a second-line role.

Carlsson (thigh) was placed on injured reserve by the Ducks on Sunday, according to the NHL media site.

This move doesn't really change much about the timeline for Carlsson, who has missed the last nine games due to a thigh injury and has already been ruled out for the Olympics. In a corresponding move, Troy Terry (upper body) will return to the lineup for the Ducks against the Golden Knights on Sunday. Carlsson has 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 44 games on the season.

Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Luostarinen has earned two goals and two assists over his last seven games. The 27-year-old winger has played on the top line lately due to the absences of Anton Lundell (upper body) and Brad Marchand (undisclosed), which have left the Panthers a little thin up front. Luostarinen is at 23 points, 72 shots on net, 93 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 46 contests this season. He's on track to reach the 30-point mark for just the second time in his career.

Perfetti scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Perfetti has been limited to two goals over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old has struggled to string together strong performances this season, but that's been a common theme for the Jets as a whole, outside of the top line and Josh Morrissey. Perfetti is at five goals, 16 points, 72 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-8 rating over 40 appearances, mainly in a second-line role.

Brodzinski registered an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Penguins.

Brodzinski has played in two of the last five games. He was set to be a regular healthy scratch for a while, but the Rangers have sat out Artemi Panarin ahead of an anticipated trade, allowing Brodzinski to check in as a bottom-six forward. For the season, Brodzinski is at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 28 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating across 38 outings, so he'll continue to have limited fantasy appeal.

Dewar logged two assists, four hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

Dewar has multiple points in three of his last six games, producing four goals, two assists, 10 shots, 19 hits and a plus-8 rating. The 26-year-old is still on the fourth line, but something has clicked for his trio with Blake Lizotte and Noel Acciari lately. Dewar has a career-high 23 points with 80 shots on net, 99 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 53 appearances.

Lizotte notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

Lizotte has three two-assist outings in the last six games, though he's added just four shots on net and a plus-4 rating in that span. The Penguins are getting valuable depth scoring out of the fourth-line trio of Lizotte flanked by Noel Acciari and Connor Dewar. Lizotte is now at 17 points, 42 shots on net, 36 hits, 23 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 44 appearances, putting him on track to surpass his total of 20 points from 59 outings last season.
