  • 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.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Sparks rally Tuesday

    Beniers scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

    The Kraken looked to be heading for a crushing loss in regulation, but Beniers' goal was the first of three in a span of 2:21 during the third period to salvage one standings point from this game. Beniers has seven points and 19 shots on net over 11 contests in March. For the season, he is up to 19 goals, 45 points, 131 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 70 appearances as the first-line center.

  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Kraken's Bobby McMann: Buries goal Tuesday

    McMann scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

    McMann's tally capped off a three-goal rally for the Kraken in a span of 2:21, and it forced overtime. With five goals and two assists over six games for Seattle, McMann has elevated his play and is a great addition for fantasy managers down the stretch. The 29-year-old has 24 goals, 39 points, 142 shots on net, 148 hits and 32 PIM over 66 appearances between the Kraken and the Maple Leafs.

  • Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Pots goal in shootout win

    Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

    Luostarinen earned his first goal and point in three games since he sat out one contest during the Panthers' most recent road trip. The 27-year-old is up to nine goals, 26 points, 90 shots on net, 113 hits and 46 blocked shots over 61 outings this season. The Panthers have rotated out some veterans because their playoff hopes are all but gone. However, the team's growing injury woes will likely keep Luostarinen in the lineup unless he joins the list of unavailable players.

  • Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Finds twine Tuesday

    Verhaeghe scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

    Verhaeghe has two goals and two assists over his last four contests. The 30-year-old is getting consistent top-six usage and power-play time, so he should be capable of finishing the year strong as long as he stays healthy. Verhaeghe is at 21 goals, 50 points, 162 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-11 rating over 68 appearances. He's reached the 50-point mark in five straight campaigns.

  • Lars Eller C | OTT

    Senators' Lars Eller: Scores in Tuesday's win

    Eller scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

    Eller's goal was the game-winner, which came at 11:05 of the second period. He has a goal and an assist over his last two contests after going seven outings without a point. The 36-year-old center is up to 13 points, 61 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 57 appearances this season, mainly in a fourth-line role.

  • Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Won't return Thursday

    Malkin (upper body) will miss Thursday's game in Ottawa, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.

    Malkin will miss his second straight game. He has 15 goals and 52 points in 50 outings in 2025-26. Malkin won't travel with the Penguins to Ottawa, but it's just a one-game road trip. He remains day-to-day and might still be an option against Dallas on Saturday.

  • Jordan Kyrou C | STL

    Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Scores empty-netter

    Kyrou scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

    Kyrou has scored in back-to-back games after producing just one goal and one assist in 10 appearances previously. He has 17 tallies and 37 points across 60 appearances this campaign. He's nowhere near the same pace he had during the 2024-25 regular season, when he registered 70 points across 82 contests.
