Lizotte scored the game-winning goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Stars.

Lizotte scored for the second time in four games, and it came at a clutch moment with 1:43 left in the third period. The 27-year-old forward's tally was his first game-winner and his 11th goal of the campaign. He's reached the 20-point mark while adding 50 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-4 rating over 58 appearances in 2024-25.

Reinhart (rest) won't be in the lineup against Detroit on Sunday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Reinhart and Sam Bennett (rest) will be replaced in Sunday's lineup by AHL call-ups Rasmus Asplund and Jesse Puljujarvi. Florida wants to give Reinhart and Bennett some "healing time" in the second half of a back-to-back set, but both forwards will probably return as early as Tuesday versus Toronto. Reinhart has compiled 37 goals, 78 points, 205 shots on net and 100 hits in 76 appearances this season.

Bennett (rest) won't play against Detroit on Sunday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bennett and Sam Reinhart (rest) will sit out Sunday's game for some "healing time," according to head coach Paul Maurice. Rasmus Asplund and Jesse Puljujarvi are up from the minors to play versus the Red Wings. Bennett has amassed 25 goals, 50 points, 237 shots on net, 144 hits and 88 PIM in 74 appearances this season. He will probably return to the lineup versus Toronto on Tuesday.

Lindholm had one goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie stole the show for the Bruins by recording five points each, but Lindholm was productive in his own right. This was the third time Lindholm scored at least three points in a game this season, but it was only his seventh multi-point outing, and his numbers have been down compared to the strong production he had in Calgary over the previous few seasons. Lindholm has recorded only 42 points in 77 contests in 2024-25.

Geekie notched one goal and four assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Geekie extended his point streak to six games in style, notching one of the best performances of his career by participating directly in each of Boston's five goals. The five-point showing was a season-high mark by a wide margin, as he hadn't previously tallied more than two points in a single game. Geekie has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) over his ongoing six-game point streak.

Robidas scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.

After notching an assist in his NHL debut Friday in Detroit, Robidas continued his strong start to his NHL career by potting his first goal Saturday. The 21-year-old has been playing on the fourth line, but he could move up the lineup if he continues to find the scoresheet regularly.

Suzuki recorded a shorthanded goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

This was Suzuki's fourth consecutive multi-point effort, and the star center came through when Montreal needed him the most. He assisted on Lane Hutson's go-ahead goal in the early stages of the third period, and Suzuki's shorthanded goal midway through the final frame wound up being the game-winner. Suzuki has fueled Montreal's playoff push with nine points over his last four appearances. He has already established a new career high in points with 83 this season, but he's still six goals shy of last season's career-best 33.

Poehling had an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Poehling found the back of the net for a third straight game and has notched six points over that stretch. However, his strong showing Saturday wasn't enough, as the loss eliminated the Flyers from playoff contention. Poehling still has something to play for in Philadelphia's final five games, as he needs one point to match his career high of 28 points established last season.

Stenlund recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets. He also posted three shots on goal, one blocked shot, two PIM and a plus-2 rating.

Stenlund gave Utah a 3-0 lead in the latter stages of the second period, and he later recorded an assist on Nick Bjugstad's empty-netter in the final frame. Stenlund has cracked the scoresheet in three of his past four outings, tallying two goals and two assists in that stretch, but he's not a reliable option for fantasy purposes given his bottom-six role in the lineup. He's having a career-best year, though, tallying 24 points (13 goals, 11 helpers) in 77 games.

Hayton recorded a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Hayton helped Clayton Keller open the scoring just 4:24 into the game, and the former doubled Utah's lead just 57 seconds into the second frame. Hayton has struggled to find consistency in recent weeks. He has four points over his last five games (two goals, two helpers) but only nine points (three goals, six assists) over 17 appearances since the beginning of March.
