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.

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.

Jonathan Marchessault C | NSH
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.

Sean Couturier C | PHI
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.

Mathieu Olivier C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Finds twine in win
Olivier scored a goal, fired five shots on net, served two PIM and dished out seven hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.
Olivier stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday with his highest hit total since Jan. 13. The goal was his third over the last five games and his seventh in March. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has 15 goals, 26 points, 89 shots on net, 201 hits and 41 blocked shots through 58 games this season. He could make an impact in deep leagues that value category coverage for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Oscar Fisker Molgaard C | SEA
Kraken's Oscar Fisker Molgaard: Up from minors
Fisker Molgaard was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
Fisker Molgaard has 10 goals and 32 points in 46 outings with Coachella Valley this season. He also has an assist in three appearances with Seattle in 2025-26. Jani Nyman was sent to the minors in a corresponding move.

Jordan Staal C | CAR
Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Lights lamp in loss
Staal scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Staal doubled the Hurricanes' lead just seven minutes into the opening period before the Canadiens would shut them out the rest of the way. Overall, Staal is up to 18 goals, 31 points, 94 shots on net, 150 hits and 38 blocked shots through 68 games this season. Carolina's captain has displayed his all-around value as of late with two goals, three points and 15 hits over the last four games. The 20-year NHL veteran still offers plenty of value in fantasy leagues that value category coverage and banger stats.

Nicolas Roy C | COL
Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Expected to miss some time
Head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday that Roy (upper body) will be out for "a little bit," Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Bednar added that the Avalanche want to give Roy time to get healthy, so expect the 29-year-old center to miss some games. Roy also didn't play in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Pittsburgh. He has eight goals and 23 points in 68 appearances between Colorado and Toronto in 2025-26. Roy will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.
