Necas scored twice in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

His first goal stood as the winner; it came on the power play. Necas has seven points (three goals, four assists) and nine shots on his current three-game point streak. He continues to blast toward his first triple-digit point season. Necas has already obliterated his previous best (71 points) with 88 (34 goals, 54 assists) in 67 games. He sits sixth in the NHL in scoring, ahead of David Pastrnak (87).

Byfield scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Byfield logged his third multi-point effort in the last five games with this performance. He has four goals and three assists in that span. Late surges aren't unusual for Byfield -- he picked up 12 goals and 20 points after the start of March in the 2024-25 regular season. This year's push has started a little later, but it makes the 23-year-old an interesting option for fantasy managers in need of a boost. He's now at 17 goals, 40 points, 148 shots on net, 53 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Sissons scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Sissons scored midway through the second period, but he was the only Vegas player to solve Connor Hellebuyck in this contest. The power-play usage is fairly new for Sissons, who has been on and off the second unit all season but has two points with the man advantage over his last two games. For the season, the 32-year-old is at six goals, 11 points, 65 shots on net, 83 hits, 39 blocked shots and 19 PIM over 56 appearances. His bottom-six role at even strength is likely to keep his offense limited.

Perfetti scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Perfetti had been limited to two assists over his previous five games. The tally was his 10th of the season, but eight of them have come over his last 31 contests, showing an improvement after his slow start to the campaign. He's earned 28 points, 120 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-5 rating through 57 appearances, mainly in a second-line role.

Scheifele scored an empty-net goal on three shots, dished two assists, added five PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Scheifele had a Gordie Howe hat trick in this contest. He assisted on the Jets' first two goals, and he fought Brett Howden late in the second period after Howden's hit on Kyle Connor. Scheifele completed his effort with the empty-netter. The center snapped a three-game skid and earned his fifth multi-point effort of March in the process. He's up to 32 goals, 54 assists, 153 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 71 appearances. Scheifele is now one point shy of matching his career-high total of 87 from the 2024-25 regular season.

Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

The goal was Guentzel's 300th in the NHL, and it was in the dirty area of the ice -- he was on his knees below the right circle, and he hammered in his own rebound. Guentzel has 74 points, including 32 goals, in 70 games this season and 645 points in 670 games in his career. He remains on pace to set a new career mark in points; his current mark is 84 points (40 goals, 44 assists) with Pittsburgh in 2021-22.

Point scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Wild.

Point got Tampa's first goal on the power play early in the second period. It was his first goal in eight games (five assists). However, he's been streaking since early December. Point has points in 24 of his last 31 games (35 points, including 14 goals).

Lindholm scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to Toronto.

Lindholm put the Bruins up 1-0 in the first on a 2-on-1 break; he wired a wrist shot from the right circle that went in off the far post. Lindholm has a modest two-game goal streak (two goals, one assist) with six shots. He's up to 14 goals and 43 points in 58 appearances in 2025-26. His 60-point pace could help you in your postseason run. That's his best output since his Calgary days.

Harkins (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canucks.

Harkins took just three shifts in this contest prior to his injury. If he can't play Thursday versus the Flames, Frank Vatrano or Ross Johnston will replace him in the lineup.

Domi scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.

It pushed the Leafs up 2-1 in the last two minutes of the second frame. It was Domi's second goal and third point since the end of January (17 games). He hasn't been able to capitalize on an enhanced role with Auston Matthews (knee) out. Domi has 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists; 105 shots) and a minus-21 rating in 69 games this season.
