    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.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Facing multi-week absence

    Head coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday that Lundell (ribs) is expected to miss approximately 2-6 weeks, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Lundell has missed the Panthers' last two games due to his rib injury, and he recently underwent an MRI. Maurice said that the results were "not good," and even though Lundell won't require surgery, he'll need some time on the shelf to recover. The early range of Lundell's timetable would allow him to return before the end of the regular season. However, the Panthers will likely elect to shut him down for the remainder of the year.

  • Jack Hughes C | NJ

    Devils' Jack Hughes: Scores twice vs. Dallas

    Hughes scored two goals on two shots in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.

    Hughes netted a first-period brace, finding the back of the net at the 4:12 and 17:19 marks. The 24-year-old playmaker has been outstanding for the Devils when healthy, and this two-goal performance extended his point streak to six games. He has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in that span, and he's up to 21 points (eight goals, 13 helpers) in 13 games since the Olympic break.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Three points vs. New Jersey

    Johnston recorded two goals, including one on the power play, and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

    Johnston continues to produce at an elite level for the Stars despite the team's recent slump. He has earned 21 multi-point performances this season. Johnston potted his 40th goal of the campaign, marking the first time he has reached that plateau in his NHL career. He also has a personal best of 78 points across 71 contests this season.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Pots PP goal Tuesday

    Stamkos scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Stamkos found the back of the net at the 12:38 mark of the second period, and his 35th goal of the season gave the Predators a commanding 6-1 lead. Stamkos has scored in three straight games. He has produced even goals and 13 points in 14 contests since the Olympic break.

  • Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Three assists in win

    Marchessault recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    It was the third straight game in which Marchessault recorded at least one assist, and he continues to deliver value as a playmaker. Even though he has gone without a goal in his last 12 contests, the 35-year-old veteran has 10 assists, a plus-6 rating and 11 hits over that stretch.

  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Snaps goal drought

    Smith scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

    Smith hadn't found the back of the net since March 6, and he tallied just two assists in nine games during that goalless stretch. The 21-year-old forward has been a productive player for the Sharks since returning from an upper-body injury that caused him to miss 13 games. Smith has notched nine goals and 18 points over his last 23 contests.

  • Flyers' Sean Couturier: Opens scoring in return

    Couturier scored a goal and put three shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Columbus.

    After missing two games due to an upper-body injury, Couturier found the back of the net in his return to the lineup. Overall, the 33-year-old forward is up to eight goals, 30 points, 104 shots on net, 72 hits and 37 blocked shots across 67 games this season. While the Flyers' captain skated on the team's fourth line as a winger Tuesday, he could return to a center role as he ramps back up to speed.
