  • Stars' Thomas Harley: Scores game-winner in overtime

    Harley scored the game-winning goal, fired three shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Harley had gone nine games without a goal, though he had six assists and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 24-year-old staved off a third-period collapse, scoring 2:06 into overtime to secure the Stars' fourth straight win and extend the team's unbeaten streak in regulation to 15 games. Harley has six goals (four game-winners), 29 points, 90 shots on net, 116 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 54 appearances. He had some rough patches earlier in the season, so it's worth looking to see if he's available to bolster your fantasy playoff run.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Sets career high in points

    Johnston scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Johnston has four multi-point efforts over his last six games, earning four goals and six assists in that span. He was notably quiet on the power play Saturday, but that didn't stop him from putting in another strong performance. For the season, the 22-year-old has career highs in goals (36) and points (73) while adding 170 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 37 hits, 22 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 66 appearances.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Picks up another win

    Oettinger stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Oettinger let a two-goal lead slip away in the third period, but Thomas Harley scored in overtime to help the Stars get the win anyway. This was Oettinger's third straight win, a span in which he's allowed just five goals on 83 shots. The 27-year-old netminder improved to 28-10-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 43 starts. The Stars are one of the hottest teams in the league, so Oettinger is a must-start in nearly every game where he gets the nod, though the four-game week ahead is full of tough matchups.

  • Lightning's Yanni Gourde: First goal in 13 games

    Gourde scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    It was Gourde's first goal in 13 games. He is performing well as the Bolts' third-line center, but the 34-year-old hasn't been much of a factor offensively. Gourde has 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists) and 93 shots in 65 games this season. He already has two Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay, and he's looking to add a third to his resume.

  • Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Three-game, four-point streak

    Goncalves picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-1 loss to Carolina.

    Goncalves extended his point streak to three games (three goals, one assist). His offensive output (24 points in 57 games) is ahead of last campaign's total (20 in 60 regular-season games), and he has a plus-24 rating after finishing with a plus-7 in 2024-25. He has taken advantage of his opportunities while occupying a top-six role.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Needs further evaluation

    Pettersson didn't finish Saturday's game versus the Kraken and will get a scan to examine his undisclosed injury Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Pettersson has played in 18 straight contests, earning two points in that span. The 22-year-old blueliner has taken on a top-four role in recent weeks. If he can't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, the Canucks will need to make a roster move for a defenseman.

  • Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: First goal in 30 games

    D'Astous scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Carolina.

    The depth defender crashed the net and finished a 2-on-1 rush with Brayden Point in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. D'Astous hadn't scored a goal since Dec. 9 against Montreal. He has 20 points (four goals, 16 assists) in 53 games this season, but he has just seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last 21 appearances. D'Astous has added 78 PIM, 73 hits and 59 blocks while occupying a third-pairing role.

    Sharks' Colin White: Logs three points in AHL loss

    White scored a goal and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 6-4 loss to the Tucson on Saturday.

    White has five points over his last three contests. The 29-year-old forward has a career-best 31 points over 33 appearances this season in the AHL. He hasn't gotten a call-up to the Sharks and is likely to close out the year as a veteran contributor for the Barracuda.

  • Sharks' Filip Bystedt: Earns three points Saturday

    Bystedt scored two goals and added an assist in AHL San Jose's 6-4 loss to Tucson on Saturday.

    Bystedt has five goals and six assists over his last eight outings. The 23-year-old forward is up to 18 goals and 47 points over 49 contests this season, taking a significant step up from his 31-point regular season in 2024-25. Bystedt is knocking on the door of the NHL at this point, so he may be a player to watch during training camp in the fall.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Fifth loss in last eight games

    Vasilevskiy made 31 saves on 34 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Carolina. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Vasilevskiy is 3-5-0 in his last eight outings, and Tampa has lost seven of its past nine games. The talented netminder has allowed 24 goals in those eight games for an .889 save percentage. Vasilevskiy is 30-12-3 with a 2.30 GAA and .914 save percentage this campaign, but this isn't the first time he's seen his numbers bloat a little down the stretch.
