Dellandrea logged a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Dellandrea snapped an 11-game point drought when he set up William Eklund's first-period tally. The 24-year-old Dellandrea has not done much on offense in 2024-25, but his play as a defensive forward in the bottom six has helped him stay in the lineup regularly. He's now at seven points, 40 shots on net, 145 hits, 38 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 55 appearances this season.

Jarvis scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Jarvis tied the game at 1-1 midway through the second period, capitalizing on a turnover. The 23-year-old has four goals and two assists during his six-game point streak. For the season, he's up to 27 goals, 52 points, 160 shots on net, 84 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 61 appearances. Jarvis is one of the top young players in the league and provides stable offense and a little physicality for fantasy managers.

Zacha registered an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Zacha has nine points over his last 12 outings while continuing to see a hefty role in the top six. The 27-year-old helped out on Morgan Geekie's tally late in the third period to prevent the Bruins from getting shut out. Zacha is up to 42 points, 120 shots on net, 48 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 70 appearances. While it's decent production given the context of Boston's season, it's well below last year's career-high 59-point pace, so many fantasy managers who banked on similar production from Zacha have come away disappointed at times in 2024-25.

Geekie scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Geekie had over a quarter of the Bruins' 19 shots -- no other skater had more than two. He scored with 2:11 left in the third period to deny Adin Hill a shutout. Geekie has been a massive positive since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, earning seven goals and two assists over 13 contests in that span. Overall, he's at 24 goals, 38 points, 129 shots on net, 93 hits and a plus-2 rating through 65 appearances. He needs just two more points to reach 40 for the first time in his career.

Karlsson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Karlsson set up a Brett Howden tally at 5:47 of the third period, which stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 3-0. This was Karlsson's first game in two months -- he missed 20 contests due to a lower-body injury. Even with the blowout win, the center was third among Vegas forwards with 15:54 of ice time, so he should be considered 100 percent. Injuries have drastically impacted his performance this year, as he's been limited to 19 points, 91 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 39 appearances.

Eichel notched two assists and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Eichel's first helper came on Pavel Dorofeyev's power-play tally in the second period, and he also fed Ivan Barbashev for a third-period goal. While Eichel's eight-game point streak ended Sunday in a shutout loss to the Red Wings, he's been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just three times this season. The 28-year-old center crossed the 60-assist mark for the first time in his career and has secured a point-per-game pace for the campaign with 82 points (21 goals, 61 helpers), 206 shots on net and a plus-26 rating over 67 appearances.

Howden scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Howden was dropped to the fourth line to accommodate the return of William Karlsson (lower body). The 26-year-old Howden still saw 14:06 of ice time, though this was a dominant game for the Golden Knights, and it's worth monitoring how his ice time will be affected when the score is closer. The center is at 19 goals, 32 points, 110 shots on net, 103 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 66 appearances. Howden could also move to the wing at some point, which would give him a better chance of playing middle-six minutes consistently.

Dorofeyev scored three goals on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Dorofeyev scored twice in the second period, including the opening tally on the power play. He completed his hat trick midway through the third, and that goal was his 30th of the campaign. The 24-year-old has surged to the milestone mark with six goals, along with three assists, over nine outings in March. Dorofeyev is one of 17 players to reach 30 goals so far this season, and he's at 46 points, 205 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 68 outings. With a 14.6 shooting percentage, this is reasonable production for a shoot-first player who's only getting started on his NHL journey.

Back scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Back cut the lead to 2-1 at 7:58 of the third period when he deflected a point shot past Andrei Vasilevskiy. He snapped a 14-game goal drought with the snipe. Back is deployed as a fourth-line winger, which limits his fantasy value. He has four goals and 10 assists with 36 shots in 62 games.

Thompson logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

Thompson has six goals and three assists over 10 outings in March, with this being his second power-play point of the month. The 27-year-old has reached the 60-point mark in just 61 appearances, a much better performance than his 56-point effort over 71 games a year ago. Thompson has 34 goals, 26 helpers, 14 power-play points, 195 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-1 rating in 2024-25.
