  • Aatu Raty C | VAN

    Canucks' Aatu Raty: Tallies twice Friday

    Raty scored two goals in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Raty tallied twice in the third period, including at 17:31 of the frame to tie the game at 6-6 after the Canucks blew a two-goal lead. While the 22-year-old is in a fourth-line role, he's taking advantage of his chances, which could help him stay in the lineup once the Canucks get some forwards back from injuries. Raty is at five goals, seven points, 20 shots on net, 58 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 24 appearances.

  • Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Scores on power play Friday

    Karlsson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added six PIM in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Karlsson snapped a seven-game point drought with the tally. The 25-year-old is filling a bottom-six role while the Canucks contend with multiple injuries to forwards. He's produced two goals, 15 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances, so most fantasy managers can find better depth forwards on the waiver wire.

  • Robby Fabbri C | MIN

    Ducks' Robby Fabbri: Slated to miss rest of season

    Fabbri (hand) isn't expected to return before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News on Saturday.

    Fabbri hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 25, and he will probably finish the 2024-25 campaign with eight goals, 16 points, 20 PIM and 58 hits in 44 outings. Fabbri is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and the 29-year-old might end up settling for a significant pay cut compared to his current $4 million cap hit.

  • Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Nabs helper in return

    Sillinger logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Canucks.

    Sillinger returned from an 11-game absence due to a shoulder injury and picked up his assist in 14:50 of ice time. He was on the third line and also featured on the second power-play unit. The 21-year-old forward has reached the 30-point mark in three of his four NHL seasons, doing so with nine goals and 21 helpers in 2024-25. He's added 117 shots on net, 62 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating across 55 appearances, and he needs just three more points to set a career high.

  • Pius Suter C | STL

    Canucks' Pius Suter: Records three assists

    Suter delivered three assists, including one on the power-play, in Friday's 7-6 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Suter has recorded multi-point performances in three games in a row, a stretch in which he's racked up one goal and six helpers. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career by notching a career-high 41 points across 72 contests, and he's ending the campaign on a strong note since the NHL resumed play following the 4 Nations Face-Off. He's notched 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 18 games since the break.

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Posts two points

    Olivier recorded a goal, an assist and three hits in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Canucks.

    Olivier hasn't been the most consistent performer for the Blue Jackets, as he's cracked the scoresheet in only six of his 12 appearances in March. However, he's putting up solid numbers, producing nine points (six goals, three helpers) in that span. Olivier doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats but has been well-suited for leagues that reward his physicality. He has tallied 29 points (17 goals, 12 assists), 270 hits and 69 blocked shots through 71 appearances this season.

  • Tommy Novak C | PIT

    Penguins' Thomas Novak: Might miss rest of regular season

    Although Novak (lower body) is making progress in his recovery, coach Mike Sullivan isn't sure if the 27-year-old will return before the end of the regular season, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports Saturday.

    With the Penguins unlikely to qualify for the playoffs, Novak will probably have to wait until next season to suit up for the team again. He has earned 13 goals and 22 points in 54 outings between Nashville and Pittsburgh in 2024-25. If he does play again this campaign, it will probably be in a bottom-six capacity.

  • Boone Jenner C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Three points in win

    Jenner scored two goals, including one on the power play, and an assist while also adding six shots and two hits in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Canucks.

    Jenner extended his scoring streak to three games, tallying four goals over that stretch. The 31-year-old is finding his groove in the latter stages of the campaign after being out with a shoulder injury. He has recorded 14 points (four goals, 10 helpers), 41 shots, 11 blocks and 30 hits in 15 appearances this season.

  • Connor Zary C | CGY

    Flames' Connor Zary: Deemed week-to-week

    Zary (knee) won't play against Edmonton on Saturday and is week-to-week.

    Zary sustained the injury in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Dallas. He has registered 13 goals, 27 points and 111 shots on net in 54 appearances this season. Zary will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Yegor Sharangovich.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Scores two goals

    Bennett scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Utah.

    Bennett opened the scoring with a power-play goal at the 2:28 mark of the second period before closing things out with a backhander in the final minute of overtime. This two-goal performance lifts Bennett to 25 tallies on the season, with six coming in March. Bennett has been a consistent producer for the Panthers of late, recording 12 points across his last 12 games.
