Stankoven tallied an assist and registered three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-0 victory over Philadelphia.

Stankoven's first assist with the Canes led the way for another first to occur -- Scott Morrow's first career NHL goal. The 22-year-old Stankoven now has 21 assists, 31 points and 157 shots on goal in 63 appearances this season. He has two points since beginning his tenure with Carolina. Stankoven has slotted into the Canes' third line and second power-play unit. With his upgraded role and ability to get shots on goal, Stankoven has some value in deeper leagues and is a name to keep an eye on ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

Jost notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flyers.

Jost snapped an eight-game point drought that also saw him sit out as a healthy scratch twice following his return from a lower-body injury in February. The 27-year-old forward has routinely played limited minutes on the Hurricanes' fourth line this season, so he has little fantasy value. Jost is at three points, 23 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-4 rating across 25 appearances in 2024-25.

Dvorak scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Dvorak ended a nine-game goal drought, in which he had three assists, with his third-period tally Saturday. The defensive center is up to seven goals, 21 points, 87 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-10 rating across 66 appearances this season. He remains in a third-line role and is unlikely to work his way into the top six without injuries to other players.

Amadio scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Amadio is growing in confidence with four goals and three assists over eight outings in March. The 28-year-old has also earned extra ice time with that run -- his 18:37 in Saturday's contest was his fourth-highest total of the season. He's still officially on the third line, but the Senators appear to trust any of their top-nine forwards with large roles. Amadio has nine goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 82 hits and a plus-5 rating over 56 outings. This is his third straight year to finish above the 20-point mark.

Dellandrea's point drought reached 11 games in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.

Dellandrea has racked up 39 hits, but he's added just nine shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating in that span. The 24-year-old forward remains consistently in the lineup for a Sharks team that is currently carrying two spare forwards. His defensive work provides some on-ice value, but the lack offense makes him a non-factor in fantasy. Dellandrea is at just six points with 37 shots on net, 41 PIM, 141 hits and 38 blocked shots over 54 appearances in 2024-25.

Celebrini scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.

Celebrini's third-period tally spoiled Logan Thompson's shutout bid. This was Celebrini's third goal and sixth point over his last six outings. The 18-year-old rookie reached the 50-point mark Saturday (21 goals, 29 helpers), becoming the second rookie to hit that threshold, following the Canadiens' Lane Hutson. Celebrini has added 196 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a minus-27 rating over 56 appearances.

Chytil (upper body) left Saturday's 6-2 win over Chicago late in the third period and there was no update on his status after game, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com.

Chytil stumbled when he attempted to get off the ice, which wasn't a good sign, given his concussion history. The 25-year-old forward has two goals and four assists in 15 games with the Canucks since being acquired from the Rangers in late January. If Chytil can't play against Utah on Sunday, Jonathan Lekkerimaki will probably be in the lineup.

Protas scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Protas has six goals and two assists over his last five contests, a span in which he's added 10 shots on net and a plus-11 rating. That level of offense is unsustainable for every player, but it's a good burst of production from one of the league's top even-strength performers this season. Through Saturday's action, Protas is tied for seventh in the NHL with 54 even-strength points. He's at 29 goals, 59 points, 126 shots on net and a league-best plus-41 rating through 67 appearances. While shooting 23.0 percent is a red flag for future regression, Protas has been too good to ignore in 2024-25.

Strome scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Strome set a positive tone with the first of three Capitals goals in the first period. He's scored in three of the last four contests and has six points over eight outings in March, a good pace on offense despite being a little quieter than his 10-point February. For the season, Strome is up to 21 goals, 65 points, 120 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 67 contests in a top-six role.

Glass scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

Glass scored against his old team, and while the Devils didn't come out on top, he continues to prove why they traded for him at the deadline. The 25-year-old has centered the third line in his time with the Devils, picking up two goals and two assists over four contests. For the season, he has 19 points, 83 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-4 rating over 55 appearances when accounting for his time with the Penguins. Glass can't keep up a point-per-game pace, but he's worth a look at least as a streamer in fantasy until the offense cools down.
