Anton Lundell C | FLA
Panthers' Anton Lundell: Nets game-tying goal
Lundell tallied a goal, had four shots on net and dished out two hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.
Lundell came in clutch for the Panthers with the game-tying goal in the latter half of the third period. The 23-year-old center is up to 16 goals, 42 points and 130 shots on net in 70 appearances this season. Sunday's tally ended a six-game skid without a point for Lundell, who has just seven points in his last 15 games. On the bright side, Lundell is just three points away from setting a new career-high in points. While his inconsistencies offensively make him tough to trust in fantasy, he might see more ice time if Florida elects to play their stars less ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, Florida has only two games this week, making Lundell less appealing for the early stretch of the fantasy playoffs.

Sam Reinhart C | FLA
Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Lights lamp twice Sunday
Reinhart scored two goals, including one on a power play, and tallied five shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh.
Reinhart scored the opening goal of the contest before netting a power-play goal in the second period. He also had an attempt during the shootout that missed off the crossbar. The 29-year-old winger is up to 35 goals, 75 points and 192 shots on net in 71 appearances this season. Reinhart has thrived both at even strength and on the power play as of late with 11 total points and seven power-play points in his last nine contests. He is tied for 15th in points across the league and leads the Panthers by 11 over Aleksander Barkov's 64. Reinhart is likely to finish the regular season above the 80-point mark for the third time in his career.

Stephen Halliday C | OTT
Senators' Stephen Halliday: Summoned from AHL
Halliday was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.
Halliday has 15 goals and 43 points in 59 minor-league appearances this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's game versus Buffalo and could make his NHL debut if Ottawa has to replace a forward.

Sean Monahan C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Ready to rock
Monahan (wrist) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Islanders on Monday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.
Monahan will play on the top line and first power-play unit after missing the last 28 games. He has generated 14 goals, 41 points and 106 shots on net through 41 appearances this season. Monahan's return should give Columbus a much-needed offensive boost as the team attempts to stay in the playoff hunt.

Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Produces assist Sunday
Zacha notched an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Zacha has three points over his last four contests, despite putting just one shot on goal in that span. The 27-year-old center is playing in a top-six role, but he'll need to generate more chances to avoid a season-ending slump. Overall, he's produced 14 goals, 29 helpers, 120 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-2 rating through 72 appearances. This will likely be his weakest of three seasons as a Bruin, though it's still better than every campaign he had with the Devils.

Elias Lindholm C | BOS
Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Puts away goal in blowout loss
Lindholm scored a goal in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Lindholm snapped a three-game dry spell when he tallied just 19 seconds into the contest. The good vibes didn't last long for the Bruins -- Anze Kopitar tied the game a couple minutes later, and the Kings dominated the rest of the way. Lindholm is up to 13 goals, 37 points, 130 shots on net, 104 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 72 appearances. While this is set to be a career year in the physical categories for Lindholm, it's come at the cost of offense as he tracks toward his worst scoring campaign since his first three seasons in Carolina.

Morgan Geekie C | BOS
Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Lights lamp in Sunday's loss
Geekie scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Even with the Bruins struggling to the tune of eight goals in their last five games, Geekie's offense rolls on. He has three goals and an assist in that span while maintaining a top-line role. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to 25 goals, 39 points, 130 shots on net, 95 hits and a minus-1 rating through 67 appearances. His next point will give him a career high and get him to 40 for the first time.

Trevor Lewis C | LA
Kings' Trevor Lewis: Checks in, earns assist
Lewis logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Trevor Moore (upper body) couldn't play Sunday, and Lewis got the nod to enter the lineup over Akil Thomas. Prior to Sunday, Lewis had been scratched for eight straight contests, losing his spot in the lineup after the Kings traded for Andrei Kuzmenko. The 38-year-old Lewis has nine points, 43 shots on net, 81 hits, 28 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 49 appearances. He'll likely return to the press box once the Kings' roster is back to full health.

Phillip Danault C | MON
Kings' Phillip Danault: Picks up 30th assist of season
Danault logged an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Danault has a helper in each of the last two contests, though he was on a four-game slump prior to that. The 32-year-old center has reached the 30-assist mark for the third year in a row and the fifth time in his career, but it's hard to celebrate that milestone since his goal-scoring has taken a nosedive in 2024-25. He's at 36 points, 111 shots on net, 70 hits, 64 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 68 appearances.

Samuel Helenius C | LA
Kings' Samuel Helenius: Finds twine Sunday
Helenius scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Helenius has two points over his last two games after going 10 contests without a point at the NHL level. The 22-year-old's role is unlikely to change -- the Kings' strong forward depth keeps Helenius locked in on the fourth line, but he's at least played well enough to stay in the lineup. He's at five points, 21 shots on net, 113 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances, bringing a physical edge to the roster.
