    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Generates assist

    McMann notched an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Sabres.

    McMann ended his nine-game point drought with his helper on a Nicholas Robertson goal late in the third period. The 28-year-old McMann has found success at times this season, but it's been tougher when he's confined to the third line. He's at 35 points, 172 shots on net, 136 hits and a plus-14 rating over 74 appearances. He'll be a lock to be in the lineup for the playoffs.

  • Shane Wright C | SEA

    Kraken's Shane Wright: Impresses in first full season

    Wright recorded a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

    Wright picked up four points over the last seven games of the season. The 21-year-old faded a bit later in the season, but there's little reason to worry in the long run. He put up 19 goals, 25 helpers, 13 power-play points, 91 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-4 rating over 79 appearances. Wright has some areas to work on -- consistency and shot volume being the two big ones -- but this was a good first full season for him to build on.

  • Jared McCann C | SEA

    Kraken's Jared McCann: Finishes as team's points leader

    McCann logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

    McCann posted 16 points over the last 14 contests of the campaign. That surge helped him take the Kraken's scoring title this season, earning 61 points while playing in all 82 games for the first time in his career. He was 10 points clear of Chandler Stephenson. McCann's time in Seattle has cemented him as a reliable scorer and power-play producer, and he also chipped in 202 shots on net, 47 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating in 2024-25.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Gets back to 20-goal mark

    Beniers scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

    The tally gave Beniers 20 goals on the year. His last two goals came against the Kings, but those were his only points over the last nine contests of the season. Overall, Beniers played in all 82 games and racked up 43 points (nine on the power play), 147 shots on net, 77 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. His defensive game is good, but the 22-year-old will need to find more offense to live up to his draft position (No. 2 overall in 2021).

  • Kings' Phillip Danault: Slides helper in win

    Danault logged an assist and four PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    Danault set up a Warren Foegele goal, which restored the Kings' lead at 3-2 late in the second period. This was Danault's fourth assist over the last seven games. The 32-year-old center is now at 43 points, a plus-20 rating, 123 shots on net, 83 hits, 73 blocked shots and 26 PIM through 80 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Kings' Alex Turcotte: Produces two points

    Turcotte scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    With Anze Kopitar resting and Quinton Byfield (upper body) out, Turcotte received a bump up to the top line at even strength. The 24-year-old Turcotte made the most of that move, as he and Adrian Kempe assisted on each other's goals. This was Turcotte's third game back from an upper-body injury. The forward is now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net, 44 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances.

  • Kings' Samuel Helenius: Surprise two-goal scorer

    Helenius scored twice on three shots, doled out four hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    Helenius ended an 11-game point drought in style. He opened the scoring at 15:14 of the first period and then added the Kings' last goal in the third, which ended up being the game-winner when the Kraken rallied close but couldn't tie it. This was Helenius' first multi-point outing in the NHL. He's posted four goals, three assists, 29 shots on net, 145 hits and a plus-1 rating over 49 appearances in a bottom-six role this season.

  • Nicolas Roy C | COL

    Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Buries goal Tuesday

    Roy scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Roy led the Golden Knights' forwards with 19:18 of ice time while Jack Eichel (upper body) and Mark Stone (rest) were out. With four goals and an assist over his last eight contests, Roy has found a groove on offense late in the season. He's up to 15 goals, 31 points, 106 shots on net, 71 hits, 46 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 70 appearances.

  • Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Opens scoring Tuesday

    Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Dorofeyev snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. He struck early, scoring just 5:25 into the game. The 24-year-old winger is up to 34 goals, 51 points, 247 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 81 appearances. Dorofeyev shouldn't fly too far under the radar in playoff fantasy formats, especially when occupying a top-six role on a top-seeded team.

  • Tomas Hertl C | LV

    Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Picks up pair of points

    Hertl scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Hertl's two points came in the first period, getting him on the scoresheet for the first time in three games since he returned from a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old center is at 32 goals and 61 points over 73 appearances this season, the fourth time in 12 years he's exceeded the 60-point mark. Hertl has added 177 shots on net, 99 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while regularly playing on the second line this year.
