Newhook scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Newhook tallied his 11th goal of the season with a wrister at the 16:23 mark of the second frame, giving the Habs a commanding 4-0 lead. Newhook also made his presence felt in the early stages of the second period after assisting Oliver Kapanen's goal. Newhook not only snapped a two-game pointless skid with this outing, but it was also his first multi-point game of the season since March 3, when he scored twice in a 7-5 loss to the Sharks. On the season, Newhook, who missed 40 games between Nov. 15 and Feb. 26 due to an ankle injury, has 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 32 regular-season contests.

Poitras recorded three assists in AHL Providence's 6-4 win over Bridgeport on Saturday.

Poitras has a career-high 44 points in 60 outings after this effort. He has two goals and eight assists during his seven-game point streak as he continues to be a big producer for Providence. He'll likely get the chance to keep rolling into the AHL postseason in the coming weeks, which could help him prepare to push for an NHL job in 2026-27.

Schmelzer scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Utica's 5-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

Schmelzer, the Comets' captain, hasn't done much on offense this season. He has been held to 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) over 57 appearances this season after logging 44 points in 72 regular-season games last year. At this point in his career, the 32-year-old Schmelzer is just an AHL veteran and is unlikely to see much time, if any, at the NHL level.

Cozens scored a goal in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Cozens startled Andrei Vasilevskiy with a shot that went five-hole just 18 seconds into the game. It was his 25th snipe of the season and first goal in seven games (one assist). Cozens has 52 points, including 26 on the power play, in 73 games this season, which exceeds the 47 points in 82 regular-season outings between Buffalo and Ottawa last year.

Guentzel scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa.

It was a breakaway snipe late in the third period to seal the win 4-2. Guentzel has scored in three consecutive games (three goals, two assists), and he has a goal in five of his last six contests. The goal was his 34th this season (77 points in 72 games).

Wright won't return to Saturday's game against Buffalo due to an undisclosed injury.

Wright logged 3:36 of ice time before exiting the game. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 72 outings in 2025-26, including Saturday's action. If Wright can't play Tuesday versus Edmonton, then Jacob Melanson might draw back into the lineup.

McCann (lower body) will play against Buffalo on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

McCann is returning after missing three straight games. He has 18 goals and 36 points in 44 outings in 2025-26. Seattle had previously dressed seven defensemen, but the Kraken are shifting back to 12 forwards and six blueliners with McCann back in the lineup, which will result in Cale Fleury being a healthy scratch.

Kampf (not injury related) is expected to be a healthy scratch against Vegas on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

According to Silber, Kampf joined the team on the road ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Utah. The 31-year-old Kampf hasn't played yet for the Capitals after being acquired from Vancouver on March 6.

Frank (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Vegas, per Capitals radio announcer John Walton.

Frank is set to miss his third straight game. He has 12 goals and 24 points in 60 outings in 2025-26. Frank's next chance to return will come Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

Ostlund (upper body) isn't expected to play against Seattle on Saturday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Ostlund still needs additional time to recover from an injury he sustained in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. He will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Ostlund has 11 goals, 27 points, 60 shots on net and 30 blocked shots in 60 NHL appearances this season.
