McTavish scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

McTavish's scoring pace has slipped a bit -- he has a modest three points over his last six outings. The 22-year-old has still put together a strong finish to the 2024-25 campaign, which should give his fantasy managers in dynasty formats some optimism for next year. McTavish is at 22 goals, 51 points, 173 shots on net, 68 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 74 contests this season.

Necas produced an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Necas was one of few regulars in the Avalanche's lineup for the regular-season finale. He finished the campaign with helpers in back-to-back contests. The 26-year-old forward wraps up 2024-25 with 27 goals, 56 assists, 194 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-5 rating over 79 appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes. Necas has had a career year and will look to keep the momentum up in a top-six role once the playoffs begin, as Colorado tries to avenge its second-round loss to the Stars from last spring.

Drury scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Drury got to play a large role with many of the Avalanche's forwards injured or resting in the regular-season finale. The 25-year-old took advantage of his extra responsibilities, ending a 19-game goal drought. In that span, he had just three assists. Drury produced eight goals, 10 helpers, 93 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-1 rating over 72 regular-season appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes. He'll likely slot into a fourth-line role at the start of the playoffs.

Coyle scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Coyle ended the regular season hot, earning two goals and nine assists during a six-game point streak. He was at the heart of the Avalanche's comeback effort in Sunday's win, with his goal standing as the game-winner. The veteran center concludes the regular season with 17 goals, 18 assists, 115 shots on net, 108 hits, 61 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 83 appearances between the Avalanche and the Bruins. He's played an elevated role recently, but Coyle should be locked in as the third-line center once the postseason begins.

Gregor notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Gregor had gone 23 games without a point, and also missed 23 games in that stretch between a lower-body injury, visa paperwork and healthy scratches. This was his first point in his second stint with the Sharks after he was traded from the Senators at the deadline in the Fabian Zetterlund deal. Gregor has just seven points, 57 shots on net, 92 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating across 50 appearances this season, so he's not likely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Frost notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Frost has three helpers over his last four contests. He set up Yegor Sharangovich on the game-winning goal at 1:30 of the third period. This was Frost's first even-strength point since March 4 -- his previous five assists, over a span of 12 games, were all on the power play. The center is now at 36 points, 139 shots on net, 68 hits, 60 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating across 79 appearances between the Flames and the Flyers this season.

Backlund notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Backlund is playing some of his best hockey of the season with five points and 13 shots on net over his last five contests. The center set up a Matthew Coronato tally in the third period Sunday. Backlund is up to 29 points, 130 shots on net, 41 hits, 49 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He hasn't finished with fewer than 30 points since 2014-15, and he'll have up to two more chances to avoid that fate this season.

Coleman notched an assist, five shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Coleman stayed warm when he helped out on a Matthew Coronato tally in the third period. Over the last six games, Coleman has contributed two goals and four assists. The 33-year-old forward is up to 38 points, 191 shots on net, 174 hits, 62 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 80 appearances. His three highest-scoring seasons have been the last three years with the Flames, and Coleman still has two contests left to make a push for his second 40-point campaign.

Kadri logged an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Kadri has two goals and three assists over his last six outings. He found Adam Klapka with a pass across the front of the net for a tap-in on the Flames' second goal. Kadri has been steady throughout 2024-25, earning 32 goals, 31 assists, 272 shots on net, 55 hits, 72 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 80 appearances. This is his third-best season in terms of points earned, and two of those top-three years have been the last two seasons with Calgary.

Huberdeau notched two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Huberdeau's offense has slowed down dramatically since late March -- he has just a goal and two assists over his last nine outings. Prior to that stretch, he logged 12 points in an eight-game span. Despite Huberdeau's stumble, the Flames remain in the playoff race. Even with the late slide, he's at 61 points (28 goals, 33 helpers), 152 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 50 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 80 appearances this season. It's his highest point total in three years with Calgary, and he's now exceeded 60 points six times in his career.
