Marchessault scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Marchessault set up Filip Forsberg in the first minute of the game and added a goal of his own early in the second period. It had been a month since Marchessault scored, though he picked up 10 assists over 14 outings between goals. The veteran winger is at 12 goals, 30 points, 123 shots on net, 68 hits and a minus-16 rating over 56 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Frost scored a goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Frost continues to score pretty well late in the season with five goals and two assists over his last nine outings. He's worked his way into steady middle-six work with power-play time. Frost is up to 19 goals, 39 points, 123 shots on net, 51 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 75 appearances. Frost's next goal would give him 20 in a season for the first time, and he's also on the verge of his third 40-point campaign.

Coleman scored a pair of goals on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Coleman has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 34-year-old forward is up to 19 goals, 32 points, 162 shots on net, 142 hits, 41 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 63 appearances. Coleman is within striking distance of earning the fourth 20-goal campaign in his career.

Rakell scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

Rakell's goal streak stands at three games (four), and his point streak sits at six games (seven goals, two assists). He has 19 shots in that span. It took Rakell a bit to get back up to game speed this season -- he has played in 55 games. But he's peaking for the fantasy playoffs, and that's a huge bonus for managers.

Howden scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

Howden ended a 13-game goal drought that began Jan. 10 before he sustained a lower-body injury that kept him out of action for nearly two months. The 28-year-old forward was on the top line Thursday, so he looks to be an early beneficiary of new head coach John Tortorella's adjustments to the lineup. Howden hasn't done a lot this season with 10 goals, 19 points, 59 shots on net, 39 PIM, 93 hits and a minus-10 rating over 52 appearances.

Guentzel notched two assists Thursday in a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.

The goal streak is over, but Guentzel's point streak stands at six games and 11 points, inclulding those five goals. He's now one point from equaling his career-high mark of 84, which he set in 2021-22. Guentzel has played an important role in the Bolts' success in their last 10 games (7-1-2).

McCann registered an assist in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.

This was McCann's first point in three contests since he returned from a three-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old forward is up to 37 points, 106 shots on net, 38 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 47 appearances. Injuries have been the only thing to limit him from reaching his established 60-point level of production this year.

Cirelli delivered a hat trick while also recording a blocked shot Thursday in a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.

It was Cirelli's second NHL hat trick and first since Jan. 17, 2020. Cirelli is up to 147 goals, which ranks 10th in franchise history, and he passed Frederik Modin (144) during Thursday's outing. He has 52 points (23 goals, 29 assists) and 120 shots on goal in 67 games this season. It's the second time that Cirelli has delivered a 50-plus point campaign.

McMann scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.

McMann has been a natural for the Kraken, scoring four goals and adding two assists over his last five games. He's up to 12 points in 10 contests for his new team. The 29-year-old forward has 27 goals, 44 points, 154 shots on net, 154 hits and 32 PIM over 70 appearances between Seattle and Toronto. McMann has a chance at the 30-goal mark if his recent surge is sustained over the last two weeks of the campaign.

Schmaltz scored a goal on four shots and dished an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Both points came on the power play. Schmaltz has earned four goals and four assists over his last eight outings, and his last four points have come with a man advantage. The 30-year-old forward continues to impress in a career year, amassing 28 goals, 67 points (17 on the power play), 181 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 75 appearances. Schmaltz is a fixture on the Mammoth's top line and first power-play unit, and he'll look to achieve his first 30-goal regular season with a strong run over the last two weeks of the campaign.
