Wild's Marco Rossi: Nets OT winner
Rossi scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist and had five shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.
Rossi helped fuel the late comeback for the Wild with a primary helper on Marcus Foligno's goal in the third period. In overtime, Rossi tallied the game-winning goal in just under a minute to seal the win. With his pair of points Sunday, the 23-year-old center is up to 24 goals, 34 assists and 133 shots on net in 78 games this season. Rossi's fourth season in the NHL has been a leap forward offensively. He has 58 points and has been a strong presence on Minnesota's top line amid the injuries the team has faced. He has value in all league formats to wrap up the fantasy season.

Canucks' Pius Suter: Sends helper in loss
Suter notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Suter continues to operate as the first-line center and set up Nils Hoglander for the opening tally in this contest. The 28-year-old Suter has 14 points over 13 games dating back to March 12 versus the Flames. He's spent a large portion of that stretch on the first line following injuries to Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (concussion). Suter is up to 43 points, 120 shots on net, 57 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 76 appearances this season.

Canucks' Aatu Raty: Finds twine in Sunday's loss
Raty scored a goal on three shots, added four hits and logged two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Raty has four goals over his last six games. He continues to play regularly in a bottom-six role while the Canucks deal with a heavily depleted position group at center. The 22-year-old could end up sticking in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, as the Canucks are teetering on the brink of being eliminated from playoff contention, which would give them no reason to bring their injured players back. Raty has six goals, two assists, 26 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-2 rating over 28 appearances at the NHL level this year.

William Karlsson C | LV
Golden Knights' William Karlsson: Slides helper Sunday
Karlsson managed an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
Karlsson ended a four-game dry spell when he set up Victor Olofsson on the game-winning goal with 3:14 left in the third period. The 32-year-old Karlsson had six assists over five contests prior to his slump. The center is up to 25 points, 108 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 48 appearances in an injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign.

Nicolas Roy C | COL
Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Gets goal in Sunday's win
Roy scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
Roy has four goals over his last nine outings. His tally Sunday put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the first period. The 28-year-old has moved around the lineup a bit lately, but it looks like he'll be on the fourth line for a while. He's produced 13 goals, 28 points, 99 shots on net, 70 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across 66 appearances as a versatile part of the Vegas offense.

Steven Stamkos C | NSH
Predators' Steven Stamkos: Scores again Sunday
Stamkos scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.
The Predators have scored just twice over the last two games, and Stamkos has potted both goals. The 35-year-old is up to 25 tallies, 47 points, 166 shots on net, 64 hits, 44 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-30 rating over 77 appearances. This is his lowest-scoring season in a campaign in which he's played at least 50 games since he had 46 points over 79 contests as a rookie in 2008-09, though he's had some worse years due to injuries or abbreviated seasons.

Alex Newhook C | MON
Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Gathers assist Sunday
Newhook notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Newhook ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old has five points over 18 contests since the start of March -- that production doesn't really line up with his second-line role. Newhook is up to 25 points, 112 shots on net, 83 hits and a minus-20 rating over 77 appearances this season. Without more consistency on offense, his fantasy value is limited to deep formats.

Nick Suzuki C | MON
Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Point streak up to five games
Suzuki notched an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
This was Suzuki's first game with a single point during his five-game point streak, a span in which he has five goals and five assists. The 25-year-old center has 32 points in 21 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- perhaps he was motivated by not being named to Team Canada's tournament roster. Suzuki has put the Canadiens on his back lately, and they're now up six points on the Rangers and the Red Wings for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Suzuki is at 27 goals, 57 assists, 161 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-17 rating through 77 appearances.

Rickard Rakell C | PIT
Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Matches career high in goals
Rakell scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Rakell's tally at 14:36 of the third period gave him 34 goals on the year, matching his career-best total from 2017-18. The 31-year-old forward has five goals and nine helpers over his last 13 contests as he continues to play at a high level late in the season. Overall, he's at 67 points (17 on the power play), 194 shots on net, 113 hits, 74 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 77 appearances. He is three points away from his first 70-point campaign, and he has four games left to get there.

Joseph Veleno C | MON
Blackhawks' Joe Veleno: Posts helper Sunday
Veleno produced an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Veleno has two goals and three assists over his last seven games, which is solid work for a bottom-six forward. The 25-year-old wasn't able to find much consistency with the Red Wings prior to the trade deadline, but he's been a little better with the Blackhawks. Overall, he's at 15 points, 64 shots on net, 127 hits, 40 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 69 appearances.
