Lindholm had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Lindholm's goal came on the power play; it was his first goal with the man advantage since Jan. 22, a span of 22 games. Lindholm has been sharp lately -- he has five goals and two assists in his last six games. He has also equaled his output from the 2024-25 regular season (47 points) in 20 fewer games (62 vs. 82).

Pastrnak served up three assists Tuesday in a 6-3 win over Dallas.

Pasta is in a three-way tie with Quinn Hughes and Evan Bouchard for fourth in assists (66) in the NHL. Those 66 apples establish a new career high for Pastrnak. He now has 95 points, including 29 goals, in 70 games, and he's closing in on his fourth consecutive century mark in points. Pastrnak is the fifth-highest regular-season point producer in the NHL in that span (424), behind Connor McDavid (509), Nikita Kucherov (499), Nathan MacKinnon (487) and Leon Draisaitl ( 437).

Arvidsson delivered a hat trick Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Stars.

It was his fifth NHL hat trick. Two of the goals were empty netters, but goals count no matter how they go in. Arvidsson is on a four-game, nine-point scoring streak that includes five goals and 12 shots. He now has 50 points (24 goals, 26 assists) in 63 games this season. It's the fourth time in the 32-year-old winger's NHL career that he's hit the half-century mark in points. Arvidsson is a standout for fantasy playoffs this year.

Suzuki is on a three-game, six-point scoring streak that includes three goals, three assists, four PIM, 14 shots, 28 faceoff wins and a plus-6 rating. Suzuki is now just three goals from his third straight 30-goal season, and his 93 points continue to extend his career season. They also put him squarely in the NHL's top seven point getters overall. Suzuki also has 59 blocks, 57 hits, 169 shots and 665 faceoff wins.

Matheson had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

He has seven goals, 29 assists, 143 blocks, 106 shots and 55 hits in 71 games this campaign. Matheson's 62-point outburst in the 2023-24 regular season was purely situational. His 36 points this season are the second-best effort of his career.

Dobes made 36 saves in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

The score betrays what actually happened Tuesday. The Habs scored twice into an empty net. The ice had been tilted toward the Habs' net all night, and Dobes was outstanding. He had to be -- he was dueling with the NHL's best netminder in Andrei Vasilevskiy. Dobes has now won four straight starts with just five goals allowed (.965 save percentage). He's helped the Habs climb to within two points of the Bolts for second in the Atlantic division.

Jiricek scored twice and added three assists in OHL Brantford's 6-5 overtime win over Sudbury in Game 3 on Tuesday.

Jiricek had been limited to one assist over the first two games of the playoffs before this eruption. The Blues prospect broke out with 59 points in 55 regular-season outings this season. He's poised to continue his strong scoring contributions as the Bulldogs battle during the postseason. They're one win away from advancing to the second round of the OHL playoffs.

Slafkovsky had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Slafkovsky wired a one-timer from the right circle past Andrei Vasilevskiy on a 5-on-3 power play in the opening frame. It was Slafkovsky's 29th goal of the season. The 22-year-old continues to pad his career totals this season (29 goals, 37 assists; 66 points) and showcase his development as a power forward. He has 29 goals, 36 assists, 159 shots, 98 hits and 74 blocks in 74 contests this season.

Huang notched three assists in QMJHL Chicoutimi's 6-1 win over Halifax in Game 3 on Tuesday.
