  • Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Scores, assists in win

    Hamilton recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.

    Hamilton delivered an assist on Jesper Bratt's first-period goal before closing out the scoring with an empty-netter late in the third period. Hamilton earned his first goal since March 3, when he also had two points in a win over the Panthers. He has 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 65 contests this season, and if he gets hot down the stretch, he might reach the 40-point plateau for the third time in the last four regular seasons.

  • Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Lights lamp Tuesday

    Drysdale scored a goal and recorded two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Drysdale tallied his goal with less than three minutes remaining in Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old blueliner has shot the puck well over the last two months, scoring five goals on 28 shots on net over his last 16 games. Overall, he has eight goals, 28 points, 87 shots on net and 81 blocked shots through 67 appearances this season. Drysdale is just four points shy of tying his career high and should continue to see top-four minutes down the stretch.

  • Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Supplies two helpers Tuesday

    Severson distributed two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

    Severson played a hand in both of the Blue Jackets' goals in the second period, including a primary helper on Zach Werenski's goal. Overall, Severson is up to 24 assists, 31 points, 91 shots on net, 39 hits and 86 blocked shots across 70 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner has made an offensive impact in March, collecting three goals and 10 points over his last 13 games. He holds solid streaming value in deep fantasy leagues while the Blue Jackets look to secure their ticket to the postseason.

  • Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Considered game-time decision

    Samuelsson (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Boston, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

    Samuelsson missed Tuesday's practice session due to an illness, but he felt better Wednesday morning and was on the ice for the Sabres' morning skate and appears to be trending in the right direction. Samuelsson has recorded points in three of his last four appearances, logging three assists, seven blocked shots, two PIM, a hit and a plus-4 rating while averaging 21:20 of ice time across that span.

  • Sabres' Conor Timmins: Ready to return

    Timmins (leg) will be activated off injured reserve and is available to play Wednesday versus Boston, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

    Timmins hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 18 because of the injury. He has six assists in 33 outings with Buffalo in 2025-26. Timmins' return might coincide with Mattias Samuelsson (illness) exiting the lineup. Samuelsson is a game-time decision Wednesday. If Samuelsson is available, then Zach Metsa might be a healthy scratch due to the return of Timmins.

  • Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Adds one of each in win

    Werenski scored a goal, recorded an assist and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.

    Werenski scored his first goal since returning from the Olympics to give the Blue Jackets their first lead of the game. Over his last nine games, the 28-year-old defenseman has amassed 12 points, 28 shots on net and seven blocked shots. He ranks second among all defenseman with 77 points and ranks second on the Blue Jackets with 21 goals. Werenski has been one of the league's best blueliners over the last three seasons and has a strong case to earn his first Norris Trophy. He should continue to post elite offensive numbers while the Blue Jackets look to secure a playoff berth.

  • Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Big night in NHL debut

    Yakemchuk scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

    After being called up from AHL Belleville due to injuries to Thomas Chabot (arm) and Lassi Thomson (lower body), Yakemchuk made an immediate impact. The seventh overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft picked up his first NHL point on Brady Tkachuk's first-period tally. Yakemchuk scored a goal of his own by snapping a puck past John Gibson from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the second frame. With Jake Sanderson (upper body) also still unavailable, the 20-year-old Yakemchuk split time on the first power-play unit with Jordan Spence, but that could change if the team doesn't get healthier down the stretch.

  • Filip Hronek D | VAN

    Canucks' Filip Hronek: Adds two power-play helpers

    Hronek logged two power-play assists, five shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

    Hronek has three goals and six assists over his last 10 outings. The 28-year-old defenseman remains one of the few reliable Canucks to roster in fantasy, especially since he offers some multi-category upside. For the season, he's at 41 points, 109 shots on net, 114 hits, 90 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 70 appearances.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Ducks' John Carlson: Distributes three assists

    Carlson logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

    Carlson now has four helpers over his last three contests. The 36-year-old has stepped into a top-four role and a spot on the power play -- where he had one of his assists Tuesday -- since entering the Ducks' lineup March 15. The defenseman is up to 50 points (10 goals, 40 helpers) with 125 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 60 outings this season. He's topped the 50-point mark in four of the last five years, with the lone exception being 2022-23 when he was limited to 40 appearances.

  • Kris Letang D | PIT

    Penguins' Kris Letang: Fourth active defender to 800 pts

    Letang put up an assist Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Colorado. It was his 800th NHL point.

    Letang is the 21st defender in history to reach 800 regular-season points and the fourth active. Brent Burns (939), Erik Karlsson (924) and Victor Hedman (811) top that list. Letang achieved the feat in 1,226 regular-season games. It was a great milestone for Letang, who had gone 11 games without a point. His last goal was on New Year's Day. He has nine points (one goal, eight assists) in his last 27 games.
