Celebrini had two goals, including one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Celebrini has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, and this dominant effort Monday allowed him to clear the 100-point threshold for the first time in his career. The 19-year-old star center has been one of the best forwards in the league this season and has joined an exclusive group since only three other players have reached the 100-point mark this season: Connor McDavid (124), Nikita Kucherov (121) and Nathan MacKinnon (120). Celebrini, who has 19 points in 15 games since the beginning of March, will look to end the regular season on a strong note while carrying the Sharks in their playoff push for one of the two wild-card spots in the Western Conference.

Korpisalo will be between the home pipes against the Stars on Tuesday, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

This will be Korpisalo's fifth appearance in March. The Finnish netminder is 1-1-2 with a 4.17 GAA and an .866 save percentage over his first four outings this month. This matchup for a No. 2 goaltender is a formidable assignment against one of the NHL's top teams, but the Bruins have been tremendous on home ice -- they own a 27-10-1 record at TD Garden this season.

Wennberg scored two power-play goals and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Wennberg pushed his point streak to three games with one of his best outings of the campaign, as he left his mark on each of the three power-play goals the Sharks tallied in this game. Wennberg has been productive in recent weeks and has tallied 11 points (five goals, six assists) across 14 games since the beginning of March. As a top-six forward who also operates as a playmaker in the power play, Wennberg should continue to see decent scoring chances in the final weeks of the campaign.

Luukkonen is slated to guard the home cage Tuesday versus the Islanders, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Luukkonen has been excellent since the Olympic break, registering a 7-1-1 record, .925 save percentage and 2.21 GAA across nine outings. The Sabres should have the upper hand Tuesday -- they have been off since Saturday, while the Islanders are on the second half of a back-to-back after getting blitzed by the Penguins on Monday to the tune of an 8-3 score.

Ekman-Larsson registered two assists, put two shots on net and recorded three blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.

Ekman-Larsson recorded a secondary helper on each of Toronto's first two goals Monday. Overall, the 34-year-old blueliner has 30 assists, 38 points, 104 shots on net, 82 hits and 66 blocked shots through 72 games this season. Despite his run of assists from earlier in the season drying up over time, he managed to secure his highest number of helpers in a regular season since the 2018-19 campaign. Ekman-Larsson has three assists over his last four games and is a decent waiver-wire pickup in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

Shesterkin will be in goal at home against the Devils on Tuesday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

Shesterkin snapped his four-game losing streak against the Panthers on Sunday, turning aside 26 of 27 shots in a 3-1 win. The Russian netminder has yet to face the Devils this season, but he's fared pretty well against them throughout his career, going 11-7-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 21 regular-season games.

Askarov stopped 22 of 26 shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Askarov was beaten at least once in each period, and while the game looked destined to go into overtime, a late strike from Adam Gaudette allowed Askarov to earn his first win in regulation since March 3. Askarov has been limited to just two appearances over the Sharks' last 10 games due to injuries, but if he manages to stay healthy down the stretch, he should get a fair amount of work between the pipes. Askarov owns a 3.54 GAA over seven appearances since the Olympic break while posting a subpar .875 save percentage, so the combination of below-average save numbers and limited availability doesn't bode well for his upside.

Cowan recorded two assists, fired three shots on net and served two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Anaheim.

Cowan recorded the lone helper on William Nylander's tally midway through the third period before later picking up the secondary helper on John Tavares' game-winning goal. The pair of helpers brings Cowan up to 15 assists, 24 points, 84 shots on net, 65 hits and 31 blocked shots across 59 games this season. Monday's performance was his second multi-point outing over his last five games. The 21-year-old winger is a strong player to roster in dynasty-based fantasy leagues and could earn himself a top-six role for the Maple Leafs next season if he continues to flash his skills offensively.

Broberg scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

Broberg has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and both goals have come with the man advantage. The 24-year-old defenseman has been playing well of late and is quietly riding a five-game point streak, setting a new season-best mark, as his previous longest point streak was four games between March 4 and March 10. One of the team's top blueliners, Broberg has nine points (three goals, six assists) in 14 games since the beginning of March.

Knies scored a power-play goal, had two PIM and dished out four hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.

Knies sparked the Maple Leafs' offense in the third period, tallying the first of three goals the team would score to force overtime. With the power-play twine finder, he is up to 21 goals, 60 points, 132 shots on net, 141 hits and 30 blocked shots across 72 games this season. The 23-year-old winger recently passed his former career high in points and has been steady offensively as of late, with five goals and nine points over his last 10 games. He should continue to provide strong fantasy value in category-based leagues from a middle-six wing role for the Leafs.
