Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Lights lamp in loss
Celebrini scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
Celebrini has six goals and four assists over his last five outings. The superstar center is up to 41 goals, 106 points, 265 shots on net, 48 hits, 47 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 75 appearances this season. Celebrini has beaten all expectations just two years into his career, but he's still trying to find enough late in the campaign to get the Sharks into the playoffs.

Predators' Steven Stamkos: Tallies on power play again
Stamkos scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Stamkos' scoring surge continues -- he has seven goals over his last eight games. The 36-year-old forward is up to 38 tallies and 60 points through 76 contests this season, including 12 goals and 11 helpers with the man advantage. Stamkos has added 184 shots on net, 85 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-18 rating while seeing steady top-six minutes.

Ryan O'Reilly C | NSH
Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: One of each Saturday
O'Reilly scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
O'Reilly's tally at 8:28 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The center also set up Tyson Jost's empty-netter to help secure the win. O'Reilly had gone six contests without a goal prior to Saturday, though he still had three assists in that span. The veteran center is at 25 tallies, 69 points, 144 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances. Hes a point away from reaching 70 for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign with the Blues, when he had a career-best 77 points in 82 regular-season outings.

Tyson Jost C | NSH
Predators' Tyson Jost: Surprising source of offense
Jost scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists, went plus-3 and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Jost earned all three points within the last 12 minutes of the game. His second helper was on a shorthanded tally by Erik Haula. This was a showcase of Jost's shutdown skills, though he usually doesn't chip in offense at this level. He's logged seven points and 26 shots on net over his last 13 contests. For the season, the 28-year-old forward has 15 points, 83 shots, 63 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 63 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Jack Eichel C | LV
Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Trio of helpers in win
Eichel logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
Eichel has a goal and seven assists over his last five outings. The 29-year-old had a hand in goals by Brett Howden, Jeremy Lauzon and Mark Stone in this contest. Eichel is up to 82 points (25 goals, 57 helpers), 242 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-15 rating over 69 appearances this season. He continues to play well in a top-line role and has now reached the 80-point mark for the second regular season in a row and the third time in his career.

Colton Sissons C | LV
Golden Knights' Colton Sissons: Buries goal in win
Sissons scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
Sissons ended a 10-game goal drought Saturday, and his tally stood as the game-winner. He had just one assist during that slump. The 32-year-old is filling a bottom-six role, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as much of a surprise. He's earned just six goals with five assists, 70 shots on net, 85 hits, 44 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 61 appearances in his first year with the Golden Knights.

Brett Howden C | LV
Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Earns pair of points
Howden scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
Howden has three points over his last two games and looks to be fitting in just fine on a line with Jack Eichel. For the season, Howden is up to 11 goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net, 93 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 53 appearances. Still, the 28-year-old can provide a boost to fantasy managers who need physicality and a little depth scoring, as long as he stays in a top-six role.

Connor Bedard C | CHI
Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Crosses 70-point mark
Bedard logged two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Bedard set up Teuvo Teravainen's power-play tally in the second period and helped out on Ilya Mikheyev's empty-netter in the third. It was Bedard's first multi-point effort since March 17, but he hasn't gone more than one game without a point in that span. He's not exactly stringing a streak together either, but he's shown some decent consistency. The 20-year-old has crossed the 70-point mark for the first time with 30 goals, 41 assists, 210 shots on net, 42 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 64 appearances this season. Still, he has slowed down slightly late in the year, posting 16 points over 18 games since the start of March.

Sacha Boisvert C | CHI
Blackhawks' Sacha Boisvert: First goal is game-winner
Boisvert scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Boisvert has played in five of the last six games while occupying a bottom-six role in his first taste of NHL action. The 20-year-old center broke through with his first goal and point Saturday, and the tally at 13:08 of the third period stood as the game-winner. He's added four shots on net, six hits, nine PIM and a minus-1 rating through five NHL appearances, showcasing a bit of grit. Boisvert could receive substantial playing time with AHL Rockford in the 2026-27 campaign, which may benefit his development in the long run.

Teuvo Teravainen C | CHI
Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Nets power-play marker
Teravainen scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
Teravainen had been buried in the lineup lately, but he was moved up to the top line for this contest. It was his power-play usage that helped him snap a 15-game goal drought, a span in which he had five assists and just 13 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger is now at 14 goals, 34 points, 84 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating through 70 appearances. He'll miss the 50-point mark for the first time in three years, and it could be tough for him to get back to that level next season if the Blackhawks get a collective step forward from their many prospects.
