Sabres' Bowen Byram: Pots empty-netter
Byram scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.
Byram ended a 31-game goal drought with the empty-netter, which ended up as the game-winner when the Islanders scored late.

He's matched his career high of 38 points and set a personal best with 11 goals through 75 outings this season.

Andrew Mangiapane LW | CHI
Blackhawks' Andrew Mangiapane: Traveling with team
Mangiapane (upper body) will join the Blackhawks for the team's three-game road trip, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
He won't be in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Edmonton, but might return later in the trip. It's certainly a step in the right direction for Mangiapane, who has been out since March 19 versus the Wild. Still, the 29-year-old winger is in line to post his lowest point total since his rookie campaign back in 2018-19.

Connor Clifton D | BOS
Penguins' Connor Clifton: Chips in with helper
Clifton notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Clifton avoided getting skunked in March, with the helper being his first point in 15 games. The 30-year-old defenseman is going to have a heavy competition on his hands for a third-pairing job, but it looks to be his over Jack St. Ivany for now. The Penguins also have Ryan Graves, Ilya Solovyov and Caleb Jones on their roster for defensive depth. Through 44 appearances this season, Clifton has just six points with 30 shots on net, 168 hits, 70 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-3 rating.

Evgeni Malkin C | PIT
Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Pockets helper in return
Malkin logged an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Malkin missed four games due to an upper-body injury. His March was chopped up by that injury and a five-game suspension, but he still managed seven points, 15 shots on net and 23 PIM over eight contests when he was in action. For the season, the 39-year-old is up to 15 goals, 53 points, 134 shots on net, 57 PIM and a plus-13 rating across 51 appearances.

Noel Acciari C | PHI
Penguins' Noel Acciari: Pots goal Tuesday
Acciari scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Acciari has two goals on eight shots, an assist and a plus-4 rating over his last three games. The 34-year-old has found ways to be productive from the fourth line this season, which has been a strength for the Penguins. Acciari is up to 22 points, 88 shots on net, 64 hits, 55 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances while also providing steady defense and penalty killing.

Bo Horvat C | NYI
Islanders' Bo Horvat: Sets up three goals Tuesday
Horvat recorded three assists, including one on the power play, three shots on goal and a hit in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
Horvat has gone three games without a goal, but he continues to make a big impact as a playmaker. This three-assist performance was a season-high mark for the 30-year-old center, and it also matched his best point output in a single game. Horvat has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 18 games since the Olympic break.

Justin Brazeau RW | PIT
Penguins' Justin Brazeau: Scores in Tuesday's win
Brazeau scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Brazeau was quiet after an upper-body injury cost him four games in March, going scoreless in his first seven contests back. He ended the month on a high note with four points, five shots on net and six hits over his last two outings. For the season, the 28-year-old is up to 17 goals, 34 points, 100 shots on net, 82 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 57 appearances. Brazeau is currently in a third-line role, so he'll likely continue to provide depth scoring rather than playing a leading role.
