  • Dylan Strome C | WAS

    Capitals' Dylan Strome: Earns pair of assists

    Strome registered two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

    Strome has three helpers over his last three games. He set up the last two goals of Alex Ovechkin's hat trick in this contest. The 29-year-old Strome has gone 17 games without a goal while earning just eight assists in that span, but he was back on the top line Thursday, which could help him finish the year strong if he stays there. Overall, the center has 53 points (19 on the power play), 132 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 71 appearances.

    Kraken's Bobby McMann: Sixth goal in last seven games

    McMann scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory over Tampa Bay.

    It's McMann's sixth goal in seven games (three assists; 20 shots) as a member of the Kraken and his 25th of the season. Two of the goals have come on the power play. McMann is a great fantasy play right now, and his success on the left coast will bolster his case for a solid raise in his new contract.

  • Flames' Blake Coleman: Nets opening goal

    Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

    Coleman opened the scoring at 1:06 of the second period. He had gone five games without a goal, picking up five assists in that span. The 34-year-old forward continues to see top-six minutes down the stretch, which has allowed him to rack up nine points over 14 outings in March. He's at 17 goals, 30 points, 151 shots on net, 139 hits, 39 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances.

  • Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Completes hat trick in overtime

    Granlund scored three goals, including two on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

    Granlund twice answered goals by the Flames, and he provided some late heroics by completing his hat trick at 4:59 of overtime. The 34-year-old has gone from cold to hot in a hurry with seven goals over his last four games. He's up to 19 goals, 34 points, 99 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 26 hits and a minus-9 rating over 48 appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Racks up 14 points in last 11 games

    Rakell had two goals and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Ottawa.

    Rakell has six goals and eight assists in his last 11 games. He has fired 24 shots and was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. It was Rakell's first three-point game of the season and first since Dec. 23, 2024. The winger has 17 goals, 22 assists, five power-play goals, eight power-play assists, 137 shots and 66 hits in 51 games this season.

  • Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Finds twine Thursday

    Wennberg scored a goal, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to St. Louis.

    Wennberg tied Thursday's contest early in the third period before the Sharks fell in the final moments of overtime. Overall, the 31-year-old center has 14 goals, 45 points, 82 shots on net and 85 blocked shots across 69 games this season. The 12-year NHL veteran has impressed on both ends of the ice this season. He's on pace to reach the 50-point mark for just the second time in his career and also ranks third among the league's forwards in blocked shots. He holds solid fantasy value in nearly all category-based leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Drops to AHL

    Brindley was reassigned to AHL Colorado following Thursday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

    Brindley was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game. The Avalanche are as healthy as they've been in weeks, so Brindley will find steadier playing time with the Eagles. He was papered down to the AHL on March 6, making him eligible for an AHL playoff run as well.

  • Jets' Morgan Barron: Enters concussion protocol

    Barron is in the concussion protocol following his exit from Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

    Barron took a hit from Josh Manson and then fought the Colorado defensemen right after, which likely played a factor in the head trauma. The 27-year-old Barron will need to be clear of concussion symptoms before he is able to return to game action. The Jets have just 11 healthy forwards on the roster currently, so a call-up may be necessary to fill out the lineup.

  • Zack Bolduc C | MON

    Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Breaks two major slumps

    Bolduc scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Bolduc played slump breaker Thursday. He set up Jayden Struble in the first period for the defender's first goal since Nov. 26, 2024. And then Bolduc potted the winner over Jet Greaves' shoulder in the third. It was his first goal since Dec. 23, ending a 31-game goal drought. Bolduc had nine assists and was scratched twice in that span. He has 11 goals, 17 assists and 150 hits in 69 games this season.

  • Kings' Jimmy Lombardi: Adds three points Thursday

    Lombardi scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Flint's 8-1 Game 1 win over Owen Sound on Thursday.

    Lombardi was one of a few NHL-affiliated prospects to have a big performance in Flint's opener. He took a huge step up this season with 36 goals and 72 points over 65 regular-season outings, shooting 20 percent on the year. His OHL playoff history is fairly limited -- he had just two points over nine contests in two postseasons prior to his three-point burst Thursday.
