Carlsson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Carlsson was held off the scoresheet in the previous two games -- his longest drought since he ended January on a six-game skid. The 20-year-old center has really found his game late in the campaign, and he's filling a top-six role. He's now at 14 goals, 14 assists, six power-play points, 76 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 57 appearances. He'll surpass his rookie-year scoring output with two more points.

McTavish scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

McTavish's tally stretched the Ducks' lead to 3-0 at the time. He also helped out on Sam Colangelo's first-period tally as the two young forwards continue to display significant chemistry together. Their strong play has led to McTavish racking up three goals and three assists during his active four-game point streak. The center is now at 17 goals, 20 helpers, 10 power-play points, 120 shots on net and a plus-1 rating across 57 appearances this season.

Duchene notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Duchene helped out on goals by Mikael Granlund and Jason Robertson as the Stars pulled away with the win. With six points over five games in March, Duchene remains a strong source of offense from a second-line role. He crossed the 40-assist mark Sunday for the fifth time in his career and third time in four years. Duchene has 66 points (23 on the power play), 116 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 64 contests overall, and he'll remain on the top power-play unit as long as Roope Hintz (face) is out of the lineup.

Granlund scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Granlund failed to find the back of the net in his first 12 games as a Star after being acquired from the Sharks in a Feb. 1 trade. The 33-year-old finally broke through Sunday with the go-ahead goal -- and eventual game-winner -- in the final minute of the second period. He's up to 16 goals, 54 points, 144 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-4 rating through 65 appearances this season. Granlund is a playmaker, so don't be surprised if his offensive output remains tilted more toward assists the rest of the way.

Konecny logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-1 rating Sunday in a 3-1 loss to the Devils.

Konecny registered the primary assist on Jamie Drysdale's fourth goal of the campaign at 15:14 of the final stanza. Konecny was held off the scoresheet in four consecutive games prior to Sunday, and although the right-shot forward has been limited to six points over 12 outings since the start of February, he still comfortably leads Philadelphia in scoring. The 27-year-old is at 22 goals and 64 points through 65 appearances -- the closest Flyer to Konecny in terms of offensive production is Matvei Michkov, who has provided 20 goals and 47 points across 63 games this season.

Dorofeyev notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

With three points over the last five games, Dorofeyev continues to be a steady source of depth offense in a second-line role. The 24-year-old has gone 12 contests without a multi-point effort, but it's not costing him playing time yet. For the season, he's up to 39 points (14 on the power play), 188 shots on net and a minus-5 rating across 63 appearances.

Eichel logged two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Eichel stretched his point streak to five games (one goal, seven helpers) with this effort, which included one power-play assist. Both of his assists were on Tomas Hertl tallies in the third period. Eichel is up to 77 points (28 on the power play), 193 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating through 62 outings this season.

Roy scored a goal, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Roy had gone seven games without a goal, logging just two assists in that span. He snapped the slump with a second-period tally to get the Golden Knights on the board in this high-scoring contest. The 28-year-old forward has been confined to the fourth line lately, which explains his relative lack of offense. He's collected eight goals, 14 assists, 75 shots on net, 53 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 52 appearances in 2024-25, putting Roy at risk of missing the 30-point mark for the first time since 2020-21.

Hertl scored three goals, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Hertl scored once in the second period and twice more in the third, but the Golden Knights' comeback effort fell just short. He's been a scoring machine lately with 16 goals and nine assists over his last 21 outings -- accounting for nearly half of his offense all season. The center is at 27 goals, 25 assists, 20 power-play points, 153 shots on net, 89 hits and a minus-7 rating through 63 appearances.

Mercer deposited an empty-net goal on the power play Sunday in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia.

Mercer has tallies in back-to-back games for the first time since late December. The right-shot forward sealed the win for the Devils with his third power-play marker of the campaign at 19:42 of the final frame. After a strong first half of the season, Mercer has struggled to consistently contribute on offense since the calendar flipped to 2025 -- he has nine points (six goals) over 25 outings in the new year. Despite the extended slump, he's on track to surpass the 33 points he produced over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24.
