Scheifele recorded three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Scheifele had a solid showing against one of the best teams in the Western Conference, leaving his mark with helpers on three of Winnpeg's four goals. The 32-year-old has notched seven assists across his last six games. Scheifele has 40 helpers and 35 goals across 67 appearances this season.

Novak (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Devils, Justin Guerriero of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

It will be the third game Novak has missed since suffering an injury last Sunday against the Wild. The 27-year-old Novak has gone scoreless in two games with the Penguins this year after recording 22 points (13 goals, nine assists) in 52 contests with Nashville before being traded.

Horvat scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Horvat scored on a snap shot in the early stages of the third period. Despite getting his 21st goal of 2024-25, he hasn't been a reliable scoring weapon this season. Horvat has contributed only three tallies and six points across his last 15 outings. The Islanders need the 29-year-old to do better on a more consistent basis.

Roslovic scored a goal, dished an assist and had two shots on net in Friday's 4-2 win against Detroit.

Roslovic put together a productive second period, registering a goal and an assist in less than five minutes. After tallying an assist on Taylor Hall's goal, Roslovic scored his own to give Carolina an early 2-1 lead. Overall, the 28-year-old Roslovic has 21 goals, 12 assists and 113 shots on net in 65 appearances this season. He is on a three-game point streak since the trade deadline and has taken advantage of his increased role on the second line and second power-play unit. With Carolina likely to shake up its line combinations down the stretch, Roslovic could have fluctuating value. Regardless, he is third on the team in goals and should continue to see at least middle-six minutes moving forward.

Draisaitl scored two goals on six shots and posted a plus-2 rating in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Islanders.

Draisaitl was the hero for the Oilers on Friday, scoring the team's two goals and taking advantage of a breakaway in overtime to give Edmonton the win. His two-goal performance allowed him to reach the 100-point mark for a fourth straight campaign and the sixth time across his last seven seasons. Draisaitl has compiled 49 goals and 51 assists across 66 games in 2024-25 while also riding an impressive 17-game point streak.

Norris (undisclosed) won't play against Vegas on Saturday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Norris will miss at least one game after sitting out Friday's practice. He has notched one goal and one assist in three games with the Sabres since being acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline. With Norris and JJ Peterka (lower body) unavailable, Jordan Greenway and Alex Tuch will skate alongside Tage Thompson on Buffalo's top line versus the Golden Knights.

Schmaltz scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Kevin Stenlund finished serving a penalty and then set up Nick Schmaltz just after exiting the sin bin for the game-tying goal late in the first period. The 29-year-old Schmaltz has four goals over six outings in March, with one of those tallies coming on the power play. For the season, the veteran forward is up to 16 goals, 35 assists, 149 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 66 appearances. Good health -- Schmaltz has yet to miss a game this season -- and a top-line role have the forward in position to push for the 60-point mark for the second year in a row.

Stenlund scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

He also had a hit and a blocked shot in the contest, providing a little bit of everything from his fourth-line role. Stenlund has earned four points over six outings in March, which is much better than the three points he collected in January and February combined. The 28-year-old center is up to a career-high 17 points with 77 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 42 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 66 appearances this season.

Stephenson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-2 win over Utah.

Stephenson extended his point streak to four games (one goal, four assists) when he set up Eeli Tolvanen's goal just 51 seconds into the game. The 30-year-old Stephenson has meshed well with Tolvanen and Jordan Eberle over the last week following the Kraken's trade that sent Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand to the Lightning. For the season, Stephenson has 11 goals, 35 helpers, 63 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 66 appearances.

O'Reilly logged a power-play assist in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

O'Reilly continues to have a strong March -- he has two goals and five assists over seven contests this month. The center helped out on a Jakub Vrana tally in the third period, which earned O'Reilly his first power-play point since Feb. 8 versus the Sabres. For the season, the 34-year-old O'Reilly has 42 points (13 on the power play), 119 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 62 appearances in a top-six role.
