Thompson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Senators.

The 27-year-old converted a Zach Benson feed from behind the net early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie. Thompson snapped a brief five-goal drought with the tally, and on the season he's up to 35 goals in 64 appearances, the third time in his career he's reached the 35-goal plateau. Buffalo has 12 more games left on its schedule, giving Thompson time to produce his second 40-goal campaign.

Abols logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Abols snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Abols has emerged as a bottom-six regular for the Flyers following the trade deadline, but he hasn't been particularly productive on offense. For the season, he has four points, 21 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 19 NHL appearances.

Jarnkrok logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.

Jarnkrok set up a David Kampf goal in the second period as the Maple Leafs' bottom six mopped up some minutes in a blowout win. Jarnkrok had been scratched for the previous two games, but he took the place of Pontus Holmberg on the fourth line. The depth players in Toronto are not guaranteed a spot in the lineup -- there's been a handful of players to see time in the press box. Jarnkrok has four points, four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and four PIM across eight appearances this season since he overcame a long-term absence due to a groin injury and sports hernia surgery.

Kampf scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.

Kampf was scratched for three games between March 15 and 19, but he's returned to the lineup over the last three contests. The 30-year-old forward snapped an 11-game goal drought with his tally Tuesday. He remains in a fourth-line role, so his offense is going to be limited most of the time. He's at five goals, 11 points, 45 shots on net, 47 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 55 appearances.

Domi scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.

Domi had the Maple Leafs' last goal, scoring at 11:32 of the third period to finish off the blowout win. Domi has found his scoring touch lately, scoring three goals and adding two assists over his last eight contests. His offense is likely to be a little limited in a third-line role. For the season, he's produced seven goals, 29 points, 85 shots on net, 51 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 63 appearances.

Miller scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

It took a replay to confirm it was a goal, but Miller opened the scoring at 2:10 of the second period. That was all the Rangers could get past Darcy Kuemper. Miller has scored in consecutive contests after enduring a nine-game goal drought earlier in March. The 32-year-old center is up to 18 goals, 56 points, 118 shots on net, 156 hits, 44 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 62 games between the Rangers and the Canucks this season.

Kopitar logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Kopitar has four points, including two on the power play, over his last three games. The 37-year-old also led Los Angeles forwards with 19:43 of ice time Tuesday, his most in a game since Feb. 22 versus the Canucks. The Kings have a strong top nine, so they have spread the minutes around rather than leaning heavily on Kopitar. He's up to 57 points (19 on the power play), 86 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-8 rating through 70 appearances.

Danault scored a power-play goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Danault has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, though this was his first power-play point of the campaign despite a steady role on the second unit. The goal was his seventh of the year, and three of them have been game-winners. The center is at 37 points, 114 shots on net, 73 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 69 appearances. He's not an elite scorer by any means, but he's warmed up recently after being tough to roster for much of the season due to inconsistency.

Beniers notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Beniers got on the scoresheet in consecutive contests for the first time since he had a point in each game surrounding the 4 Nations Face-Off break. It's been a decent March for Beniers, who has four goals and four assists over 12 outings this month. He's up to 40 points, 129 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 37 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 72 appearances. With his recent play, a 45-point campaign is still within reach, but he's likely to fall short of 50 for the second time in three NHL campaigns.

McCann logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

McCann has a goal and three assists over his last four contests. That matches his point total from the 14 games before his recent stretch of improved play. The 28-year-old forward is playing in a middle-six role lately, and he may be stuck at center rather than on the wing as long as Chandler Stephenson (upper body) is out. Overall, McCann has 17 goals, 32 assists, 171 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 72 appearances.
