Cooley scored twice on three shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Cooley's tallies erased the 2-0 goal lead the Kraken created in the first period. He scored one of his goals on the power play. The 21-year-old has five goals and an assist over his last three games as he continues to show a skill for scoring in bunches. The rising star has 22 goals, 36 points, 91 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-5 rating across 47 appearances this season.

Tavares scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Sharks.

Tavares' second-period tally denied Alex Nedeljkovic a chance at a shutout. While the Maple Leafs' campaign has fallen apart, culminating in Thursday's elimination from playoff contention, Tavares has been a steady contributor. He has six goals and four assists over his last seven outings and is up to a total of 29 goals, 65 points (16 on the power play), 183 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-26 rating over 76 appearances. That puts him on the doorstep of the eighth 30-goal campaign of his career.

Goodrow logged an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Goodrow was limited to one assist over his previous 16 games after his Feb. 28 goal versus the Oilers. The 33-year-old forward remains a regular on the Sharks' fourth line, providing grit and defensive skill with little scoring upside. He's at five goals, seven assists, 63 shots on net, 125 hits, 54 blocked shots, 71 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 74 appearances.

Gaudette scored an empty-net goal on three shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Gaudette has three goals over the last six games. The 29-year-old forward is up to 17 goals, 25 points, 91 shots on net, 49 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 61 appearances this season. Gaudette has primarily featured in a bottom-six role in his first year with the Sharks, but he has a knack for scoring goals, giving him some value in deep fantasy formats.

Ostapchuk scored a goal, dished an assist, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Ostapchuk snapped his 16-game point drought with a goal just 3:27 into the contest. He also helped out on Adam Gaudette's empty-netter. Ostapchuk's performance Thursday was the first multi-point game of his career. The 22-year-old is up to four goals, three assists, 39 shots on net, 121 hits, 26 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 51 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

Suzuki logged two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Suzuki has three goals and five assists during a four-game point streak. The 26-year-old center has approached superstar status this season with a career-high 94 points, including 67 helpers and a plus-36 rating over 75 appearances. He's added 170 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 58 hits and 28 PIM, providing some decent category coverage in addition to his superb offense.

Hischier supplied two assists and had two PIM in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.

Hischier recorded a secondary helper on Dawson Mercer's goal in the opening period before later sliding the primary pass on Jesper Bratt's power-play tally in the third. With the pair of helpers, Hischier is up to 35 assists, 61 points, 194 shots on net, 55 hits and 61 blocked shots through 75 games this season. The 27-year-old center has been rolling during a six-game point streak with seven assists and nine points. Since March 4, he has 18 points and solid category-coverage stats, making Hischier an excellent option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Stankoven scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Columbus.

Stankoven scored both in a 6:25 span in the first period to put the game out of reach for the Blue Jackets. He has three goals on six shots in his last two games, giving him 17 tallies and 36 points through 75 contests on the season. He has 11 points, including seven goals, in his last 24 games. He's plus-12 this season after struggling with a minus-3 rating in 19 games after his trade from Dallas last year.

Glass tallied a goal, placed three shots on net and served 12 PIM in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.

Glass sparked New Jersey's offensive clinic Thursday with his opening goal just over five minutes into the first period. The twine finder was his third goal of March and snapped his eight-game streak without finding the back of the net. Overall, the 27-year-old center is up to 16 goals, 23 points, 96 shots on net, 39 hits and 37 blocked shots through 63 games this season. His goal Tuesday helped him set his highest point total in a season since the 2022-23 campaign, when he posted 35 points across 72 regular-season games.

McBain is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus the Kraken after sustaining a lower-body injury.

McBain limped to the locker room during the second period. The 26-year-old's questionable status is not a worst-case scenario, but that still leaves his ability to play Saturday versus the Canucks in doubt if he can't get back into Thursday's contest.
