Kerfoot logged an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Kerfoot missed Tuesday's game versus the Kraken due to an illness, but he was back in action Thursday, bumping Michael Carcone back to the press box. Kerfoot has seven points, 16 shots on net, 13 hits and 12 blocked shots over his last nine outings. For the season, the versatile forward has racked up 25 points, 99 shots on net, 57 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 78 appearances.

McBain notched an assist, four shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

McBain has earned three points over five outings in April. The 25-year-old remains in a third-line role, and his offense has often been limited to depth contributions in 2024-25. He's at 13 goals, 12 assists, 87 shots, 283 hits, 49 blocked shots, 78 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 79 appearances. He has up to three more games to match his point total from each of the last two seasons (26).

Cooley produced an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Cooley has two goals and three helpers over his last six outings. The 20-year-old center has gotten a look on the top line late in the season, and he's doing well. There's been no sophomore slump for him -- Cooley is at 23 goals, 36 helpers, 153 shots on net, 58 hits, 31 blocked shots, 44 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 72 appearances in 2024-25, improving in all scoring areas in his second campaign.

Keller logged an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Keller has three goals and four assists over his last six outings. The 26-year-old is up to 27 goals, 58 assists, 208 shots on net and a minus-12 rating over 78 appearances. Keller is one point shy of matching his career high, and the winger's offense should remain around this level for the next few years as Utah is poised to be competitive in the long run.

Bjugstad scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Bjugstad has a goal and an assist over his last three contests. He was out of the lineup frequently in March, missing five games due to an upper-body injury and three more as a healthy scratch, but this was his eighth straight game in a bottom-six role. The 32-year-old is up to seven goals, 18 points, 108 shots on net, 102 hits and a minus-3 rating over 63 appearances this season.

Marchessault logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

Marchessault has four helpers (three on the power play) over two games since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him four contests. The winger is up to 53 points (22 on the power play), 201 shots on net, 77 hits and a minus-27 rating over 75 outings. Barring a late surge, he'll finish with his lowest point total in four years, but Marchessault has been decent considering the Predators' overall struggles in 2024-25.

Parssinen scored a goal and added two assists in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Islanders.

This was a huge performance for a guy who has been struggling to stay in the Rangers' lineup. Parssinen may have bought himself a few games to prove his mettle, but the team is in a must-win situation. If he falters, he'll be on the bench. Let someone else snag Parssinen off the wire, as this was his first game since March 25.

Stamkos notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

Stamkos helped out on Filip Forsberg's tally at 1:19 of the third period. Over the last four games, Stamkos has four goals and three assists. The 35-year-old forward has had a few bursts of offense, but he's only managed to put up two point streaks of at least five contests. He's at 27 goals, 25 assists, 21 power-play points, 169 shots on net, 65 hits, 45 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-33 rating over 79 outings in his first year with the Predators.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

O'Reilly earned his first multi-point effort since March 4 in Boston. The center has three goals and three assists over his last nine outings while continuing to play in a top-six role. For the season, he's at 19 goals, 48 points (15 on the power play), 145 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating across 76 appearances.

Coyle logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

Coyle remains hot on offense with a goal and six assists over his last four games. It's a sudden surge of offense, which corresponds to a larger power-play role while the Avalanche navigate a rough patch of injuries. The center is at 31 points (16 goals, 15 assists), 108 shots on net, 108 hits, 60 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 81 appearances between Colorado and Boston this season.
