Kasper netted a goal and took four shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Golden Knights.

Kasper's tally was the final goal of the game for Detroit. The eighth overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is heating up again with four points in his last three games. Overall, Kasper is up to 13 goals, 27 points and 110 shots on net in 62 games this season. He continues to center the second line for Detroit but has not yet claimed consistent power-play time. Over time, the 20-year-old should be asked to have a larger role in all situations but is making the most of his current opportunities. He has a bit of value in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of the playoffs.

McTavish recorded two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

McTavish has racked up four goals and five assists over nine outings in March. The center also had one of his strongest games at the faceoff dot this season, winning 11 of 13 draws. The 22-year-old is up to 18 goals, 22 assists, 125 shots on net, 57 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 61 appearances. He's three points shy of matching his career high, and given his momentum this month, he's got a good chance of challenging the 50-point mark by the end of the campaign.

Nesterenko scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

Nesterenko has taken over the spot of Sam Colangelo (upper body) on the Ducks' third line in the short term. He converted the Ducks' second goal Sunday off a primary assist from Cutter Gauthier. Nesterenko has three points, seven shots on net, 22 hits and six blocked shots over nine NHL outings this season. It's unclear if he'll be able to prove himself enough to stay with the big club once Colangelo or Robby Fabbri (upper body) return to the lineup.

Bolduc produced a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Bolduc saw a three-game point streak end Saturday in Minnesota, but he was right back on the scoresheet a day lately. He hasn't gone multiple games without a point since Feb. 22-23, earning six goals and two helpers over his last 10 outings. For the season, the second-year forward has 12 goals, 14 assists, 86 shots on net, 79 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 59 appearances.

Thomas logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Thomas has gotten back to basics in March, collecting a goal and six assists over eight games. The 25-year-old has taken strides in goal-scoring over recent years, but he's a playmaker by nature, and that's been working for him lately. Overall, the center has 17 goals, 38 helpers, 120 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 56 appearances.

Kyrou notched three assists in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Two of those helpers came on the power play. Kyrou was also able to shake off a hit from Jacob Trouba late in the first period, finishing the game with 15:33 of ice time in the lopsided win. Kyrou had a great weekend with three goals and three assists over two contests, following a stretch in which he went eight games without a multi-point effort. He's up to 56 points (27 goals, 29 helpers), 190 shots on net, 15 power-play points, 42 hits and a plus-13 rating through 68 appearances.

Faksa scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Faksa snapped a two-month goal drought, a span in which he was limited to three assists over 22 appearances. He had gone seven games without a point entering Sunday's action, but he snapped the drought at 15:39 of the second period to restore a three-goal lead for the Blues. Faksa remains in a fourth-line role, so opportunities to generate offense are limited. He's up to 12 points, 53 shots on net, 96 hits, 41 blocked shots and 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 56 contests this season.

Sundqvist scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Sundqvist ended a couple of droughts with the Blues' seventh goal. It was his first point since March 2 and his first goal since Feb. 25, which was followed by a span of eight contests in which he had one assist. The 30-year-old still remains on the second power-play unit as a net-front presence, which was how he got his goal Sunday. For the season, he's at six goals, 10 assists, five power-play points, 52 shots on net, 69 hits, 42 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-5 rating across 54 appearances.

Schenn scored a goal on five shots and added seven PIM in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Schenn scored just 41 seconds into the game. The 33-year-old also dropped the mitts with Jacob Trouba late in the first period after Trouba's hit on Jordan Kyrou. Schenn has seven points, 14 hits, nine PIM and a plus-1 rating over eight contests in March, offering multi-category appeal through scoring and toughness. Overall, the veteran center has 16 goals, 43 points, 122 shots on net, 164 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 68 appearances.

Bourque scored a goal and dished out four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss in overtime against Colorado.

Bourque's tally was the first of two goals Dallas would score in a 20-second span in the third period. After Sunday's goal, the 23-year-old forward eclipsed the 10-goal threshold on the season and has 21 points overall in 60 games. His potential in fantasy is limited with his role on the Stars' fourth line, but his goal in a game against a division rival shows a glimpse of what Bourque could become in the NHL.
