Hischier scored twice on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Hischier opened the scoring at 5:12 of the first period. He later set up Dawson Mercer's game-tying shorthanded goal in the third and then scored another of his own on the power play 3:18 into the extra session. Hischier had gone nine games without a goal prior to Sunday, but he had eight assists in that span. The 27-year-old center is at 28 goals, 66 points (23 on the power play), 211 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-6 rating over 81 appearances this season.

Rooney was recalled from AHL Tucson on Sunday.

Rooney has played in just one game with the Mammoth this season, though he scored a goal on his lone shot in Dallas on Nov. 28. The 32-year-old forward has accounted for 12 goals, 24 points and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances with the Roadrunners in 2025-26.

McMichael scored two goals, distributed an assist and put two shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Penguins.

McMichael played a pivotal role in all three of the Capitals' goals Sunday, as he picked up a secondary helper on Trevor van Riemsdyk's goal in the second period before scoring twice himself in the third. With his trio of points, McMichael is up to 14 goals, 32 assists, 142 shots on net, 45 hits and 44 blocked shots across 77 games this season. The 25-year-old forward has been a frequent contributor to Washington's offense of late with four goals and 11 points over his last nine games. McMichael is a solid waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy formats that track category coverage ahead of the Caps' last game of the regular season Tuesday.

Zacha has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Since the Bruins have already clinched a playoff berth, they're resting several of their regulars -- including Zacha -- for their penultimate regular-season game. Across five appearances in April, Zacha has recorded two goals, two assists, five hits and a blocked shot while averaging 16:57 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Devils, but he should be back for the start of postseason play.

Haight was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Haight has 18 goals and 32 points in 51 AHL outings this campaign. He also has one assist, eight shots on net, two blocked shots and seven hits in seven NHL appearances this season.

Fantilli recorded two assists, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantilli had gone 11 games without a multi-point effort entering Saturday. The 21-year-old center continues to fill a top-line role, though he did more with less in just 15:41 of ice time in Saturday's win. Fantilli is at 58 points (23 goals, 35 helpers), 210 shots on net, 138 hits, 51 blocked shots and 38 PIM over 80 appearances this season. He'll need to be at the top of his game as the Blue Jackets make one last push for a playoff spot over the final two contests.

Monahan scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

The tally ended a 19-game goal drought for the center. That drop in scoring, which also included an 11-game point drought, has seen him slip into a fourth-line role under interim head coach Rick Bowness. Monahan has 13 goals, 23 assists, 129 shots on net, 42 hits, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 76 appearances this season. His 10.1 shooting percentage is the second-lowest of his career, which likely explains most of his struggles.

Jenner scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

The Blue Jackets needed this win, and Jenner set the tone with a goal just 1:13 into the game. The 32-year-old has been limited to a depth role at times this year, but he's produced seven points over his last 13 contests. For the season, he's at 12 goals, 36 points, 127 shots on net, 145 hits, 63 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 65 appearances, production mostly in line with his usual totals. He hasn't had a fully healthy season since 2019-20.

Larkin notched two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

Larkin set up Justin Faulk's goal in the first period and also had a hand in Emmitt Finnie's tally in the third. During a four-game point streak, Larkin has four goals and five assists. The 29-year-old has been steady as ever in a top-line role with 34 goals, 67 points, 226 shots on net, 46 hits, 33 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 73 appearances this season.

Glass scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

Glass has four goals over six outings in April. The 27-year-old center has had a good year from the third line, racking up 19 goals, 26 points, 103 shots on net, 42 hits, 39 blocked shots and 39 PIM over 68 appearances. Glass has just two games left to push for the first 20-goal campaign of his career.
