  • Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Picks up two assists

    Goncalves logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Goncalves had a hand in two of Anthony Cirelli's goals in the contest. The 25-year-old Goncalves hasn't scored in nine games, but he has five assists, 14 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in that span while contributing in the Lightning's top six. He's up to 31 points, 72 shots on net, 77 hits, 41 PIM and a plus-27 rating over 67 appearances in his second full NHL campaign.

  • Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Nets 100th career goal

    Girgensons scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Girgensons ended a 12-game goal drought with the tally. He's picked up the pace with three points over his last four outings. Girgensons' goal Thursday was the 100th of his career, a solid total for a player who's mainly been a bottom-six option throughout his NHL time. He's at 18 points, 88 shots on net, 182 hits, 41 blocked shots and 29 PIM over 68 appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Scores go-ahead goal Thursday

    Point scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Point ended a four-game goal drought with the tally, which put the Lightning ahead 3-2 in the second period. He hadn't gone more than two games without a point since his four-game slump from Nov. 6-15. The 30-year-old has had a down year, with injuries playing a role in his drop, but he's still at 18 goals, 29 assists, 119 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 57 appearances this season.

  • Kevin Rooney C | UTA

    Mammoth's Kevin Rooney: Summoned from minors

    Rooney was called up by Utah on Friday.

    Rooney has 12 goals and 23 points in 43 outings with AHL Tucson in 2025-26. The 32-year-old is a veteran of 331 career regular-season NHL games, but he's appeared in just one outing at the top level in 2025-26. Rooney scored a goal on one shot in a 4-3 loss to Dallas on Nov. 28.

  • Nicolas Roy C | COL

    Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Will miss next two games

    Roy (upper body) will miss Saturday's game in Dallas and Sunday's match versus St. Louis, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

    Roy will be reevaluated ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Blues. The 29-year-old hasn't played since March 22 due to the injury. He has eight goals and 23 points in 68 outings between Toronto and Colorado in 2025-26. Roy will probably occupy a spot in Colorado's bottom six once he's healthy.

  • Oilers' Matt Savoie: Continues to impress

    Savoie scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

    Savoie has found the back of the net in four of his last five games, tallying 18 shots and two hits over that span. The 22-year-old forward has benefited from skating on the first line next to Connor McDavid, which means Savoie should continue to experience an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in this role. Savoie has 15 goals and 32 points in what has been a solid rookie campaign for him across 76 contests.

  • Lars Eller C | OTT

    Senators' Lars Eller: Tips in goal

    Eller scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

    Eller has two goals and an assist over his last six games. He got a piece of an Artem Zub shot at 5:55 of the third period, netting what was the Senators' game-winning tally. Eller is up to five goals, 14 points, 65 shots on net, 46 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 61 appearances this season, playing mainly in the bottom six.

  • Dylan Cozens C | OTT

    Senators' Dylan Cozens: Scores against former team

    Cozens scored a goal on six shots and added four hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

    Cozens has tallied twice in the last three games. His tally Thursday tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period against his former team. The 25-year-old center has thrived with the Senators this year, earning 26 goals, 53 points, 183 shots on net, 204 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 75 appearances, mainly in a second-line role. This is the first year he's been over the 20-goal and 50-point marks since 2022-23, when he had 31 goals and 68 points in 81 contests for the Sabres.

  • Matt Duchene C | DAL

    Stars' Matt Duchene: Scores in back-to-back games

    Duchene scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.

    Duchene has found the back of the net in consecutive games for the first time since February, as he also scored in the 6-3 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday. Duchene has been one of the few bright spots for the Stars of late amid the team's drop in form. The 35-year-old veteran has found the scoresheet in all but one of his last eight games, tallying seven points in that stretch, and he has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 17 appearances since the beginning of March.

  • Alex Steeves C | BOS

    Bruins' Alex Steeves: Playing time drops

    Steeves was scratched for the ninth straight game in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.

    The Bruins have mostly stuck with the same group of forwards lately, leaving Steeves out of the lineup for all but three of 19 games since the Olympic break. Lukas Reichel has been the one to snag the bottom-six role Steeves was operating in prior to the break. It's still been a decent campaign for Steeves, who has 16 points, 52 shots on net, 140 hits, 32 PIM and 27 blocked shots over 41 appearances in his first year with the Bruins.
