Marco Rossi C | VAN
Canucks' Marco Rossi: Lights lamp in shootout win
Rossi scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Rossi has two goals over his last four games after previously going eight contests without scoring. The 24-year-old center had a good stretch in the middle of March but has since cooled off despite retaining a top-six role. For the season, he's at 11 goals, 32 points, 62 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-25 rating over 47 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild.

Nicolas Roy C | COL
Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Logs first helper since return
Roy produced an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Roy set up Nick Blankenburg's tying goal in the middle of the second period. The 29-year-old Roy missed seven contests due to an upper-body injury in late March and early April, and he's played in three straight games since he was cleared to return. The 29-year-old will fill a bottom-six role late in the campaign and into the playoffs, providing a little grit and defensive skill. Across 71 appearances between Colorado and Toronto this season, he's earned 24 points, 74 shots on net, 70 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He'll miss the 30-point mark for the first time since the shortened 2020-21 campaign.

Ryan Greene C | CHI
Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Deposits goal in loss
Greene scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.
Greene leveled Saturday's score 15 minutes into the first period with his 10th goal of the season. The 22-year-old rookie is up to 27 points, 106 shots on net, 46 hits and 37 blocked shots across 79 games this season. He's experienced hot and cold stretches offensively, but can take pride in securing the first double-digit goal season of his young career. Greene profiles as an intriguing fantasy addition in deep dynasty leagues.

Jack Eichel C | LV
Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Nets game-winner in overtime
Eichel scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.
Eichel has just two goals over his last eight games, but he's added eight assists in that span. The 29-year-old came up clutch on a rush in overtime, cashing in 1:19 into the extra session for his sixth game-winner of the season. The center has 26 goals, 84 points, 252 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-17 rating across 72 appearances.

Vinnie Hinostroza C | FLA
Panthers' Vinnie Hinostroza: Chips in with helper
Hinostroza logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Hinostroza led the Panthers' forwards with 16:36 of ice time. That likely wasn't on anyone's bingo card for this season, as he's often filled a fourth-line role when in the lineup. The 32-year-old forward is up to five goals, 11 helpers, 63 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 63 appearances between the Panthers and the Wild. Hinostroza should remain in the lineup for the team's last two games this year.

Jordan Kyrou C | STL
Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Lights lamp on power play
Kyrou netted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
Kyrou's power-play tally midway through the second period gave the Blues their second lead of the game, which they would expand upon to secure Saturday's win. Overall, he now has 18 goals, 43 points, 167 shots on net and 26 blocked shots through 69 games this season. Despite taking a step back offensively this season, the 27-year-old winger has three goals and eight points over his last 11 outings.

Eetu Luostarinen C | FLA
Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Racks up three points in win
Luostarinen scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
As one of the Panthers' few regulars who hasn't joined the walking wounded, Luostarinen has been occupying a top-line role. He opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the game before assisting on goals by Mackie Samoskevich and A.J. Greer in the third period. Luostarinen has five points over his last three contests, giving him 11 goals, 32 points, 106 shots on net, 120 hits, 57 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 71 outings. Assuming the Panthers don't have lingering long-term issues for 2026-27, Luostarinen will likely revert to a defensively inclined middle-six role next season.

Frederick Gaudreau C | SEA
Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: Finds twine Saturday
Gaudreau scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Gaudreau has moved around the lineup a bit lately but often sees something equivalent to middle-six usage regardless of where he lines up. This tally snapped a seven-game point drought for the veteran center. He's up to six goals, 68 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-1 rating over 65 outings in his first year with the Kraken. That's on the lower end of his production from recent years, though the team around him has often struggled to generate offense.

Chandler Stephenson C | SEA
Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Tallies go-ahead goal
Stephenson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Stephenson has two goals and five assists over his last nine outings. He put the Kraken ahead 2-1 at 13:16 of the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. On the year, Stephenson has contributed 16 goals, 48 points, 91 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating through 77 appearances. He has three games left to add to his totals, with two more points enough to secure a fifth straight 50-point season.

Matty Beniers C | SEA
Kraken's Matty Beniers: Hits 20-goal mark
Beniers scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Beniers had been limited to two helpers over his last eight outings. The 23-year-old center was able to get to the 20-goal mark for the third time in his four full NHL campaigns despite the recent slowdown. He has 48 points, 149 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 79 appearances this season in a top-line role.
