Barclay Goodrow C | SJ
Sharks' Barclay Goodrow: Scores in Saturday's win
Goodrow scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Goodrow ended an eight-game point drought with the goal. The 33-year-old forward is up to five tallies, 10 points, 51 shots on net, 90 hits, 45 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 57 contests. He plays in a bottom-six role and on the penalty kill, so there's not a lot of fantasy upside to be had in his game.

Alex Wennberg C | SJ
Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Puts away goal
Wennberg scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Wennberg ended an 11-game goal drought with the third-period tally. He had five assists in that span. Scoring isn't a huge part of Wennberg's game, but he has racked up 11 goals and 38 points in 57 appearances this season. He's added 68 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating. Wennberg's experience and defensive work help to shelter some of the Sharks' younger players, which was enough for the team to sign him to a three-year extension back in January.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Opens scoring in Saturday's win
Celebrini scored a goal on seven shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Celebrini snapped a brief two-game dry spell with the opening tally Saturday. He was already gaining attention in his second NHL campaign, but he went international with 10 points in six games at the Olympics for Canada. He's up to 29 goals, 82 points, 202 shots on net, 30 hits, 35 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 57 appearances, cementing his superstar status as he's now guaranteed to have a point-per-game season at the worst.

Gavin Brindley C | COL
Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Deposits go-ahead goal
Brindley tallied the game-winning goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Brindley broke the 1-1 tie midway through the third period with a goal that would ultimately stand as the game-winning tally. The 21-year-old forward is up to six goals, 12 points, 53 shots on net and 30 hits across 45 games this season. His goal Saturday snapped a 25-game streak without finding the back of the net and 13-game run without recording a point. The young forward remains off the fantasy radar until he earns a larger role with the Avalanche.

Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Snags assist Saturday
Zacha logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
A concussion cost Zacha two games before the Olympics as well as the opportunity to represent Czechia at the tournament. The 28-year-old has played in both games since the break and looks to be fine handling a second-line role. He's up to 38 points, 89 shots on net, 43 hits, 22 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 56 outings this season.

Kirby Dach C | MON
Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Scores vs. Washington
Dach scored a goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
Dach scored the team's fourth goal with a snap shot at the 16:34 mark of the second period. This was his third goal over his last six outings, and Dach has added three assists in this productive stretch.

Sean Couturier C | PHI
Flyers' Sean Couturier: Fills empty net
Couturier scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
It's been a while since Couturier last lit the lamp, as his last goal was Dec. 7 versus the Avalanche. He compiled 10 assists, 55 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-8 rating during his 31-game goal drought. The veteran center looks refreshed coming out of the Olympic break, so he could pick up the pace moving forward. He has six goals, 28 points, 93 shots on net, 67 hits and 36 blocked shots over 58 appearances this season.

Nick Suzuki C | MON
Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Three points in win
Suzuki scored an empty-net goal and added two assists in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
Suzuki assisted on goals scored by Cole Caufield and Kirby Dach in the first and second periods, respectively, before scoring a tally of his own with an empty-netter at the 16:44 mark of the final frame. Suzuki scored for the first time since Jan. 29 and recorded points for the first time since the league resumed after the Olympic break, as he was blanked in the 4-3 loss to the Islanders on Feb. 26. Suzuki remains one of the best players for Montreal and is up to 68 points (19 goals, 49 assists) in 59 contests in 2025-26. He's on pace to surpass the career-high 89 points he posted in the 2024-25 regular season.

Adam Fantilli C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Pots game-tying goal
Fantilli scored a goal, put two shots on net and recorded four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Despite Fantilli's tally coming near the end of the second period, it would hold up as the game-tying goal that would ultimately send the game to overtime. The 21-year-old center has a goal in both of the Blue Jackets' games since the Olympic break and is up to 15 goals, 39 points, 154 shots on net, 97 hits and 38 blocked shots across 58 games this season. While he got off to a slow start offensively to begin the campaign, he has dialed in his scoring prowess since the calendar flipped to 2026, with 14 points over his last 18 games. Fantilli has also leveled up his rate of producing category-coverage stats this season, making him an underrated option in most standard fantasy formats for the remainder of the season.

Isac Lundestrom C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Nets opening goal in loss
Lundestrom scored a goal, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Lundestrom put the Blue Jackets on the scoreboard with the lone tally of Saturday's first period. The twine finder brought him up to three goals, eight points, 36 shots on net, 22 hits and 20 blocks across 44 games this season. While he remains off the fantasy radar, he has noteworthily been more consistent in 2026 with two goals and three points across nine games.
