  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Extends point streak to nine

    Bouchard scored a goal and fired six shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 loss to Dallas.

    Bouchard put the Oilers on the board at 7:53 of the second period to cut the deficit to four goals. His tally brought him up to 19 goals, 76 points, 184 shots on net and 87 blocked shots across 66 games this season. While the Oilers have had an up-and-down start to their post-Olympic break action, the 26-year-old blueliner has excelled offensively with 16 points during his nine-game point streak. He leads all NHL defensemen in points by eight, and despite playing on a stacked offense, he has carried his weight in the offensive third. He's on pace to shatter his career-best mark of 82 points from the 2023-24 campaign, and if he continues to score steadily, Bouchard should be a candidate for this season's Norris Trophy.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Slides three helpers in win

    Heiskanen supplied three assists, including one on a power-play, in Thursday's 7-2 win over Edmonton.

    Heiskanen secured his three-point outing Thursday inside the first 27 minutes of the game across three of Dallas' first five goals. With the trio of apples, he is up to 47 assists, 56 points, 128 shots on net and 111 blocked shots across 63 games this season. The 26-year-old blueliner has bounced back on both ends of the ice this year, with his offensive output of 56 points currently standing as the second-best total of his career. With 20 points in his last 16 games, Heiskanen should continue to elevate the Stars' offense and defense, giving him strong fantasy value in all formats moving forward.

  • Radko Gudas D | ANA

    Ducks' Radko Gudas: Facing suspension

    Gudas will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for his knee-on-knee hit on Toronto's Auston Matthews on Thursday.

    Gudas is expected to receive at least one game and likely longer, as this is not his first time in front of the department. Matthews was helped off the ice in the second period and did not return. Gudas has two goals, 11 assists, 156 hits, 83 blocked shots and 45 PIM over 52 games this season. The Ducks may need to call up a defenseman for their pair of weekend games if Gudas is unavailable and John Carlson (lower body) is not ready to return to action.

  • Luke Hughes D | NJ

    Devils' Luke Hughes: Grabs two power-play points

    Hughes tallied a power-play goal, recorded a power-play assist and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    Hughes picked up the primary helper on Simon Nemec's power-play goal in the second period before later scoring with just four seconds remaining in the contest. Overall, Hughes is up to six goals, 25 assists, 126 shots on net and 44 blocked shots through 55 games this season. Since the Olympic break, the 22-year-old blueliner has taken a step up with four assists, five points and 22 shots on net across six games. With his recent success with the man advantage, he should continue to quarterback New Jersey's power play moving forward, giving him solid fantasy value in most standard formats.

  • Simon Nemec D | NJ

    Devils' Simon Nemec: Deposits power-play goal

    Nemec tallied a power-play goal and recorded two hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    Nemec recorded his power-play goal in response to John Beecher's shorthanded tally for Calgary 42 seconds prior. The power-play tally brought Nemec up to 10 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net and 70 blocked shots across 51 games this season. Thursday's goal was his second across five games in March. While his offensive production has taken an overall step back since the calendar flipped to 2026, he has already secured a new career high in points and holds high fantasy upside in dynasty leagues for the future.

  • Kevin Bahl D | CGY

    Flames' Kevin Bahl: Finds twine in win

    Bahl scored a goal, placed two shots on net, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over New Jersey.

    Bahl doubled the Flames' lead at 14:07 of the first period with a goal assisted by new defensive partner, Olli Maatta. The twine finder brought Bahl up to four goals, 15 points, 56 shots on net, 94 hits and 92 blocked shots over 64 games this season. His second season with the Flames has him on track to post similar totals to his first year in Calgary. If he can compile five points down the stretch, he'll match his career high of 20, which he posted across 73 games a year ago.

  • Ian Moore D | ANA

    Ducks' Ian Moore: Tallies in loss

    Moore scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Moore has occasionally worked as a forward this season when the Ducks want a different look on the fourth line. The 24-year-old got his goal in that spot, but he may be back on the blue line if Radko Gudas gets a suspension for his knee-on-knee hit against Auston Matthews. Moore is up to four goals, 12 points, 51 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 25 hits and 20 PIM through 50 appearances this season, so his fantasy value remains fairly limited.

  • Ryan Shea D | PIT

    Penguins' Ryan Shea: Bags pair of apples

    Shea logged two assists and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Shea has three helpers over his last three outings. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to be quietly effective for the Penguins, handling top-four minutes while chipping in depth scoring. He's at 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) with 64 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-25 rating across 65 appearances.

  • Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: First point in seven games

    Mintyukov scored a goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Toronto.

    It was Mintyukov's first point in seven games, and just his sixth (two goals, four assists) in 26 games in 2026. He has always been full of offensive potential, but his game has never taken that leap. Mintyukov has 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) and 64 shots in 60 games this season.

  • Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Garners helper in win

    Korczak notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

    Korczak has earned two helpers over nine contests since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old blueliner is playing regularly on the third pairing currently, giving him limited chances to help the offense. For the season, he's put up 14 points, 55 shots on net, 92 hits, 85 blocked shots and 22 PIM over 66 appearances, all of which are career highs.
