  • Brock Nelson C | COL

    Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Supplies pair of assists

    Nelson notched two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

    Nelson helped out on first-period tallies by Cale Makar and Martin Necas. The 34-year-old Nelson snapped a three-game point drought, and this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 25 versus the Maple Leafs. Nelson is up to 52 points, 140 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-9 rating over 60 appearances. He's been an excellent fit in a second-line role and should continue to offer plenty of offense.

  • Martin Necas C | COL

    Avalanche's Martin Necas: Buries power-play goal

    Necas scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

    Necas' first-period tally stood as the game-winner in this contest. He's posted five goals and five assists during a five-game point streak, with three of his tallies in that span coming on the power play. For the season, the 27-year-old is up to 27 goals, 72 points (14 on the power play), 140 shots on net, 63 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-42 rating over 57 appearances.

  • Yakov Trenin C | MIN

    Wild's Yakov Trenin: Deposits goal in win

    Trenin scored a goal on four shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

    Trenin put the Wild ahead 3-1 late in the second period, quickly responding to Nikita Kucherov's goal for the Lightning. The 29-year-old Trenin has three goals and an assist over his last nine outings. The forward is at six goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 306 hits, 31 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 62 appearances. It's already a career year in hits for Trenin, and he's poised to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

  • Senators' Michael Amadio: Finds twine Tuesday

    Amadio scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Amadio had just one assist over his previous four games. The 29-year-old continues to fill a third-line role, though anywhere in Ottawa's top nine is a fine spot for offense. Amadio is up to nine goals, 23 points, 72 shots on net, 83 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 60 appearances. At that pace, he should get over the 30-point mark for the first time in his career, as long as he's able to avoid injuries down the stretch.

    Senators' Dylan Cozens: Scores in overtime loss

    Cozens scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

For the season, the 25-year-old center has 21 goals, 47 points, 142 shots on net, 163 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 60 appearances.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Adds two more assists

McDavid has 105 points (43 on the power play) and has reached the 70-assist mark in each of the last six campaigns. He's added 232 shots on net, 31 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 62 appearances this season.

  • Devils' Dawson Mercer: Goal may light fire under his game

    Mercer scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Panthers.

    It was an empty-net goal, but they all count the same. Mercer has one goal in his last 12 games (one assist). Overall, the tenacious young pivot has 14 goals, 17 assists and 113 shots in 61 contests.

  • Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Tallies on power play

    Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on five shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.

    Nugent-Hopkins pulled the Oilers back within a goal early in the third period. The 32-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. He's been steady in a top-six role this season, though he's often been more of a playmaker. He has produced 15 goals, 33 assists, 25 power-play points, 96 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 53 outings.

  • Zach Hyman C | EDM

    Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores equalizer Tuesday

    Hyman scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.

    Hyman has scored three times and added two assists over the last four games. The 33-year-old winger came up clutch with the tying goal with 1:25 left in the third period in this contest. He's up to 25 goals, 41 points, 131 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-10 rating through 43 outings. That's excellent production, especially since he missed the first month-plus of the campaign due to his recovery from a wrist injury.

  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Rattles off five points Tuesday

    Draisaitl scored twice on four shots and added three assists in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.

    Draisaitl tallied twice in the first period and then set up two goals in the third period before helping out on Evan Bouchard's power-play marker in overtime. The 30-year-old Draisaitl has plenty of talent, but this was his highest-scoring game of the season and his fifth with at least four points. He's up to 33 goals, 57 helpers, 39 power-play points, 174 shots on net and a plus-14 rating over 59 appearances.
