  • Devils' Arseny Gritsyuk: Grabs pair of points in win

    Gritsyuk tallied a goal, picked up an assist and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

    Gritsyuk posted his second multi-point game of March during Saturday's contest, as he picked up the lone helper on Cody Glass' opening goal before later finding twine himself to kick off the third period. With the pair of points, Gritsyuk now has 12 goals, 29 points, 139 shots on net and 52 hits across 62 games this season. The 24-year-old rookie has compiled six points over his last six games and profiles as a solid middle-six winger for New Jersey for years to come.

  • Devils' Nico Hischier: Adds two of each Saturday

    Hischier scored two goals, recorded two assists and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over Los Angeles.

    Hischier scored his first goal of the game midway through the opening period before he played a hand in three of New Jersey's four tallies in the third. With the four-point outing, he is up to 23 goals, 27 assists, 172 shots on net, 51 hits and 53 blocked shots across 66 games this season. Saturday's game helped the 27-year-old center reach 50 points on the season, securing the half-century mark in points or higher for the fifth consecutive year. Hischier continues to offer strong category coverage for fantasy purposes, giving him strong value in most league formats for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Falls to Rangers

    Gustavsson stopped 14 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Minnesota dominated play on home ice and out-shot New York 48-18, but Igor Shesterkin stood on his head in the other crease to steal a win. For his part, Gustavsson might want another crack at a Vladislav Gavrikov tally late in the first period -- the defenseman slapped a no-look backhand toward the net from a sharp angle, and Gustavsson was late squeezing the near post -- but otherwise he couldn't be faulted for the result. It was the first time in six starts since the Olympic break that the 27-year-old netminder has given up more than two goals, a stretch in which he's gone 4-2-0 with a stellar 1.69 GAA and .940 save percentage.

    Rangers' Adam Fox: Two helpers in Saturday's win

    Fox notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    He extended his point streak to four games with helpers on a Vladislav Gavrikov tally in the first period and a Vincent Trocheck goal in the second. Fox needed a few games after the Olympic break to shake off the rust after he missed most of January with a lower-body injury, but through seven games in March he's collected a goal and six points, with half of that production (one goal, two assists) coming on the power play.

  • Rangers' Vladislav Gavrikov: Three-point effort Saturday

    Gavrikov scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    The veteran blueliner potted his 13th goal of the season late in the first period, in between helpers on tallies by Noah Laba and Vincent Trocheck. The three-point effort was a season high for Gavrikov, and over nine games since the Olympic break, he's delivered four goals and nine points.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Brilliant in Saturday's win

    Shesterkin made 46 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    The 46 stops were a season high for Shesterkin, topping the 42 he made in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche back on Dec. 6. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't taken a regulation loss since returning after the Olympic break from a lower-body injury, going 5-0-2 during that stretch with a 2.67 GAA and .916 save percentage -- including wins in his last four outings.

  • Kings' Artemi Panarin: Picks up trio of points

    Panarin tallied a goal, registered two power-play assists and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.

    Panarin was a part of history Saturday, as he slid the primary helper on Anze Kopitar's 1,308th career regular-season point to set the Kings' franchise record. Panarin's trio of points brought him up to 22 goals, 47 assists and 184 shots on net across 62 games this season. The 34-year-old's move to Los Angeles has gotten off to a strong start, as he has nine assists, 12 points and 26 shots on net across 10 games since being traded by the Rangers. As the Kings make a push for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division, Panarin is set to operate at the heart of the offense and holds elite fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Kings' Anze Kopitar: Sets franchise record in points

    Kopitar scored two power-play goals and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.

    Kopitar made history Saturday, as his pair of power-play goals elevated him to 1,308 career regular-season points, surpassing Marcel Dionne as the Kings' all-time leader in points. The latter of Kopitar's two tallies was the 450th goal of his career. The 20-year NHL veteran now has 10 goals, 30 points, 72 shots on net and 46 blocked shots across 51 games this season. He's been soaring offensively since the start of March with four goals, seven points and 19 shots on net across seven games. Kopitar is poised to thrive offensively next to Adrian Kempe and Artemi Panarin moving forward, giving the top-line center solid fantasy value in most league formats.

  • Jake Allen G | NJ

    Devils' Jake Allen: Yields four goals in win

    Allen turned away 27 of 31 shots on net in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

    Allen took to the ice for the first time since Feb. 25 and had his ups and downs, but he ultimately seized the win with a strong performance in the third period. Overall, he now has a 13-15-1 record, a 2.69 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. While New Jersey has leaned on Jacob Markstrom since his return from the Olympics, Allen could earn some more opportunities down the stretch if the latter can turn things around after posting a 1-4-0 record, a 3.09 GAA and an .887 save percentage over his last five outings.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Allows five goals in loss

    Forsberg stopped 22 of 27 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.

    Following a strong second period during which Forsberg helped the Kings take a 3-2 lead, he surrendered four goals in the third for New Jersey to steal the win. He drops to an 11-10-5 record, a 2.83 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The 33-year-old netminder posted a strong stretch of play leading into the Olympic break but has had mixed results since then with a 2-3-0 record, a 3.83 GAA and an .878 save percentage across six outings. Since the return of Darcy Kuemper from an illness, Forsberg has played only once per three games, so Forsberg's next opportunity in net will likely come either March 21 against the Sabres or March 22 at Utah.
