Stenlund scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Stenlund had eight points over 14 contests in March, and he kept his momentum up to begin April. The fourth-line center is up to a career-high 12 goals through 75 outings this season. He's added 10 assists, 89 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 47 hits and a minus-12 rating. Stenlund can be streamed in deeper formats, but it's risky to assume he'll be able to remain productive on offense the rest of the way.

Hayton scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Hayton scored for the first time since March 10. He snapped a 10-game goal drought, during which he had three assists, 15 shots on net and a minus-7 rating. The center is up to 18 goals, 41 points, 139 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 75 appearances this season. He's one goal and two points shy of matching his career highs in those categories, both of which were set in 2022-23.

Keller scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Keller snapped a seven-game drought with the empty-netter to close out this win for Utah. In that stretch, he still provided four assists, one of which came on the power play. The 26-year-old winger is up to 25 goals, 80 points, 196 shots on net and a minus-11 rating across 74 appearances. This is the second time he's reached the 80-point mark, and he's six points shy of matching his career high from 2022-23.

Horvat scored the Islanders lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.

Horvat's goal was a shortie in the second off a 2-on-1 rush. He sits on top of his team's scoring list with a meager 52 points (73 games). The Isles are pretty much a barren offensive team, and that makes every player a tough activation, Horvat included.

Paul scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Islanders.

It was his 22nd goal and 40th point of the season. Paul has put up 40 points in two consecutive campaigns in Tampa Bay. This season, he's done it with just five power-play points; in 2023-24, he put up 14. Paul has just 62 hits in 68 games, a drop from three-straight 100-plus seasons, but he still offers a touch of secondary scoring, and his 357 face-off wins (50.0 percent) can help.

Point delivered two assists Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Islanders.

They were both secondary assists. Point is on a four-game, seven-point scoring streak that includes four goals. With eight games remaining, he has plenty of runway to get to 40 goals (he has 38). Point is a fantasy pillar and a key driver for the Bolts as they press for a long playoff run.

Winterton was called up from AHL Coachella Valley under emergency conditions Tuesday.

Winterton's emergency recall suggests there is a yet-to-be-revealed injury concern among the Kraken's forwards. The 21-year-old has 35 points over 53 contests with the Firebirds this season, as well as one assist over eight NHL games in 2024-25.

Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.

His second-period goal stood as the winner. Nikita Kucherov found Guentzel wide open at the right post for an easy tap-in. He's on a three-game, six-point streak that includes four goals. The marker was Guentzel's 38th, and he's cruising on a point-per-game pace (73 in 73).

Kozak (lower body) was hurt in Tuesday's game versus the Senators, but there was no update on his status after the contest, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Kozak didn't play in the third period after suffering the injury in the middle frame. He'll have some time to recover, as the Sabres don't play again until Saturday versus the Lightning. Isak Rosen would likely enter the lineup if Kozak is unable to suit up.

Sturm (upper body) was injured in the first period of Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Sturm collided with A.J. Greer in the first period, and Sturm got the worst of it, falling face-first to the ice. Head coach Paul Maurice won't have an update on Sturm's status until Wednesday. The Panthers play the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, and if Sturm can't suit up, Tomas Nosek will likely get back into the lineup after a nine-game stint as a healthy scratch.
