Crosby scored two goals, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Vegas.

The future Hall of Famer gave the Penguins an early 2-0 lead, tapping home a power-play tally in the first period before beating Ilya Samsonov from the faceoff circle just over three minutes in the second. Crosby has produced back-to-back two-goal performances, and in 10 games since the 4 Nations Face-Off he's racked up six goals and 12 points.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

The Golden Knights were staring at a 2-0 deficit when Dorofeyev got them on the board late in the second period, and he helped force OT by having a hand in Noah Hanifin's third-period tally. Dorofeyev is up to 25 goals as part of a career-best season, the first time the 24-year-old winger has reached that milestone.

Glass notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 25-year-old center has had a quick start to his Devils tenure, racking up a goal and three points in his first two games with his new club. Glass has never lived up to his billing as the sixth overall pick in the 2017 Draft, but skating on a line with Jesper Bratt might help unlock some of that untapped potential.

Olivier scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

The physical winger continued his breakout offensive campaign, getting the Blue Jackets on the board early in the second period before wrapping up the scoring on the night midway through the third. Olivier has found the back of the net five times in the last seven games. On the season, the 28-year-old has a career-high 15 goals and 25 points through 64 appearances -- he came into 2024-25 with 13 goals and 34 points in 168 career NHL games. The scoring outburst complements his usual rugged play, as Olivier is second in the league in both hits (237) and PIM (120).

Roslovic scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Roslovic has a goal and an assist over his last two games. He snapped an eight-game goal drought Tuesday when he scored at 19:15 of the second period to give the Hurricanes a 3-0 lead. That tally put the 28-year-old winger at the 20-goal mark for the second time in his career, and his career high of 22 from 2021-22 is well within range. He's at 31 points, 111 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 64 appearances this season.

Gaudette notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

Gaudette ended a 10-game point drought when he helped out on a Michael Amadio go-ahead goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Gaudette is up to 23 points, 78 shots on net, 56 hits and a plus-12 rating through 63 appearances this season. He remains in a fourth-line role and is averaging just 10:39 of ice time since the start of February, which is right in line with his season average of 10:37.

Pageau notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Pageau set up an Anders Lee goal in the second period. With four points over three games during the Islanders' road trip through California, Pageau has settled in nicely as the second-line center following the Brock Nelson trade. The 32-year-old Pageau is up to 12 goals, 22 assists, 101 shots on net, 127 hits and a plus-11 rating across 61 appearances this season. His scoring output is nearly identical to his 33-point effort over 82 regular-season contests a year ago, so Pageau should have a chance to reach the 40-point mark for the fourth time in his career.

Kopitar logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Kopitar has three goals and three assists over six games in March, doubling his production from eight contests in February. The 37-year-old center started slow in 2025, but he's bouncing back just in time for the Kings to solidify their standing in the Pacific Division. Overall, he's produced 52 points, 83 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 63 outings this season.

Danault scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

The tally snapped a 12-game goal drought for Danault, who still had eight assists and 29 shots on net in that span. The 32-year-old center has had little success finding the twine this year, though two of his six goals have counted as game-winners. He's up to 34 points, 102 shots on net, 67 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 62 appearances in a middle-six role.

Byfield scored a shorthanded goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Byfield's goal streak is up to four games after he put away the first shorthanded goal and point of his career. His tally stretched the Kings' lead to 3-1 at 14:00 of the second period. The 22-year-old has put on a good surge in the second half of the campaign and is now at 15 goals, 38 points, 123 shots on net, 64 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 63 appearances.
