  • Ian Cole D | UTA

    Mammoth's Ian Cole: Puts away goal Saturday

    Cole scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Penguins.

    Cole tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, but Noel Acciari answered with the game-winner a few minutes later. The 37-year-old Cole doesn't typically add much on offense, but he's earned three points over his last five games. He's firmly in a third-pairing role with the Mammoth's defense currently at full health. Cole has produced 19 points, matching his best total in the last five years, while adding 47 shots on net, 64 hits, 129 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 67 outings this season.

  • Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Registers two assists

    Wotherspoon posted two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

    Wotherspoon last posted a multi-point effort Jan. 3 versus the Red Wings. The defenseman has three helpers over his last four games, but offense hasn't been a major factor in his play this season, which has been steady enough to command top-four minutes. Wotherspoon is at 22 points, 59 shots on net, 137 hits, 99 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 66 appearances and has often skated alongside Erik Karlsson at even strength.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Supplies pair of helpers

    Karlsson logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

    Karlsson has earned a pair of assists in three of the Penguins' last four games. The 35-year-old defenseman has two goals and eight helpers across eight outings in March as he continues to pick up momentum late in the campaign. He's at six goals, 40 assists, 136 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 61 contests overall. Karlsson should be able to get to the 50-point threshold by the end of the season.

  • Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Nets goal Saturday

    Edvinsson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

    Edvinsson ended a four-game skid with the third-period tally. The 23-year-old blueliner continues to see top-four minutes, but the Red Wings' injury-depleted lineup has taken some punch out of the team's offense. Edvinsson now has nine goals, 21 points, 71 shots on net, 71 PIM, 71 hits, 123 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 57 appearances this season.

  • Stars' Thomas Harley: Scores game-winner in overtime

    Harley scored the game-winning goal, fired three shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Harley had gone nine games without a goal, though he had six assists and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 24-year-old staved off a third-period collapse, scoring 2:06 into overtime to secure the Stars' fourth straight win and extend the team's unbeaten streak in regulation to 15 games. Harley has six goals (four game-winners), 29 points, 90 shots on net, 116 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 54 appearances. He had some rough patches earlier in the season, so it's worth looking to see if he's available to bolster your fantasy playoff run.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Needs further evaluation

    Pettersson didn't finish Saturday's game versus the Kraken and will get a scan to examine his undisclosed injury Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Pettersson has played in 18 straight contests, earning two points in that span. The 22-year-old blueliner has taken on a top-four role in recent weeks. If he can't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, the Canucks will need to make a roster move for a defenseman.

  • Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: First goal in 30 games

    D'Astous scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Carolina.

    The depth defender crashed the net and finished a 2-on-1 rush with Brayden Point in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. D'Astous hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 9 against Montreal. He has 20 points (four goals, 16 assists) in 53 games this season, but he has just seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last 21 appearances. D'Astous has added 78 PIM, 73 hits and 59 blocks while occupying a third-pairing role.

  • Owen Power D | BUF

    Sabres' Owen Power: Equals career mark in goals

    Power scored a goal in a 3-2 shootout win over Toronto on Saturday.

    Power is on a modest three-game, three-point scoring streak (one goal, two assists), and he has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last eight outings. Power doesn't get power-play opportunities, and that has curtailed his offensive output. Overall, he has 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 66 games after delivering 40 points, including 33 assists, in 79 appearances in the 2024-25 regular season. Power's seven goals this campaign equal his career mark.

  • Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Produces four assists

    Yakemchuk recorded four assists in AHL Belleville's 6-3 win over Hershey on Saturday.

    Yakemchuk is up to 33 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-30 rating over 46 appearances this season. He has two goals and six assists over his last five outings. Yakemchuk is still rounding out his overall game, so he may need to start 2026-27 in the AHL before pushing for an NHL job.

  • Bruins' Victor Soderstrom: Tallies twice in AHL blowout win

    Soderstrom scored two goals in AHL Providence's 7-0 win over Hartford on Saturday.

    Soderstrom has seven goals and 17 assists over 45 appearances in the AHL this season. He also logged one helper in eight NHL outings. The Bruins don't appear to have room for him in the NHL, as they're already carrying eight healthy blueliners.
