  • Bruins' Casey Mittelstadt: Scores in 500th career game

    Mittelstadt scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

    Mittelstadt tied the game with 6:00 left in the third period, forcing overtime. This was the 27-year-old forward's 500th career game, and it came against the team that drafted him eighth overall in 2017. Mittelstadt had gone 11 games without a goal entering Wednesday, though he had six assists in that span. He's up to 14 goals, 37 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 62 appearances this season, mainly in a second-line role.

  • Pavel Zacha C | BOS

    Bruins' Pavel Zacha: One of each in overtime win

    Zacha scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

    Zacha helped out on Casey Mittelstadt's equalizer in the third period, which forced the extra session that allowed Zacha to net the game-winner. The 28-year-old Zacha has a trio of multi-point efforts over his last five games, and he's earned nine goals and seven helpers over 13 outings in March. For the season, the center is up to 24 goals (four game-winners), 54 points, 114 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 69 appearances.

  • Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Tallies twice in loss

    Zibanejad scored twice on 10 shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Zibanejad was a powerhouse in this contest, netting a power-play goal in the second period and an even-strength tally in the third. He's gotten on the scoresheet in nine of 13 games in March, earning eight goals and eight assists this month. Overall, the 32-year-old is up to 32 goals, 69 points (31 on the power play), 196 shots on net, 94 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 71 appearances. With a push, he could get back over the 80-point mark for the first time in three years.

  • John Tavares C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Stays hot with goal

    Tavares scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Tavares has three goals and three assists during his active four-game point streak. The 35-year-old's tally stood as the game-winner Wednesday. He has earned 16 points over his last 18 contests and is in a good position to stay hot to close out the year as the Maple Leafs' top center. Tavares is up to 26 goals, 61 points, 177 shots on net, 63 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-25 rating over 73 appearances.

  • Maple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Pair of points in win

    Joshua scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and doled out six PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Joshua has three goals and an assist over his last seven outings. He's added 16 PIM and 28 hits in that span, providing his trademark toughness while seeing bottom-six minutes. Joshua is up to 10 goals, 16 points, 48 shots on net, 180 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 50 appearances. He was limited to 14 points in 57 contests with the Canucks a year ago, so he's had a bit better of a fit with the Maple Leafs.

  • Blues' Otto Stenberg: Goal, fight in win

    Stenberg scored a goal, added two hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

    Stenberg fought Ryan Leonard in the second period. The 20-year-old Stenberg then had the last laugh with a third-period tally to stretch the Blues' lead to 2-0. The rookie forward hasn't found consistent offense in a bottom-six role yet, earning nine points, 22 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-4 rating over 24 appearances. His fight was his first trip to the sin bin in the NHL.

  • Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Tallies in Tuesday's loss

    Gaudette scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

    Gaudette has two goals and an assist, as well as 17 shots on net and a minus-2 rating, over 11 outings in March. The 29-year-old forward may get a little more security in the lineup since Ryan Reaves (hand) is expected to miss nearly all of the rest of the season. Gaudette has earned 15 goals, 23 points, 84 shots on net, 46 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 56 contests. While the playing time may rise, he's a non-factor in fantasy if he doesn't get power-play usage.

  • Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Nets goal in loss

    Bourque scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

    Bourque pulled the Stars back within a goal at 13:08 of the third period, but they couldn't find an equalizer. The 24-year-old continues to get top-line usage at even strength, but he had only two assists over his previous seven contests. For the season, he has 14 goals, 32 points, 126 shots on net, 64 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 71 appearances. He has shown significant growth after scoring 25 points in 73 regular-season games as a rookie last year. Bourque will likely move down the lineup once Mikko Rantanen (lower body) is ready to return.

  • Flyers' Luke Glendening: Adds helper in return

    Glendening logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Glendening returned from a two-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He has three points over six outings with the Flyers, one short of what he produced in 52 contests for the Devils before he was waived ahead of the trade deadline. Glendening may still be a part-time player for the Flyers, but he's had a better fit with his new team.

  • Islanders' Calum Ritchie: Scores in Tuesday's loss

    Ritchie scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Ritchie had gone three games without a point prior to this contest. The 21-year-old is filling a middle-six role and has production to match with six points over his last nine outings. Overall, he's earned 10 goals, 22 points, 65 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 55 appearances this season. Ritchie has some potential, but it could take a couple of years for him to grow into it.
