Mantha scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Mantha has five goals and two assists during his five-game point streak. The 31-year-old winger is rolling on a line with Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust for now, though Mantha could be the one to lose his spot with that trio once Sidney Crosby (lower body) comes off injured reserve. For the season, Mantha has been excellent with 26 goals, 52 points, 125 shots on net, 42 hits, 34 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 67 appearances.

Soderblom scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Soderblom had gone four games without a point to start his Pittsburgh tenure following a trade from Detroit. The 24-year-old has mostly been limited to a fourth-line role, and the return of Evgeni Malkin from a suspension cost Soderblom his power-play minutes Monday. Over 44 outings in total this season, he has five points, 52 shots on net, 69 hits and a minus-4 rating, so he's unlikely to emerge as a strong fantasy option down the stretch.

Acciari scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Acciari has scored three times over his last four games. The 34-year-old continues to fill a fourth-line role, though his defensive responsibilities give him a boost in ice time. For the season, the veteran forward has nine goals, 19 points, 71 shots on net, 55 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 53 appearances.

Karlsson scored a goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Karlsson picked up his fourth multi-point effort over the last five games. The 35-year-old has three goals and 10 assists over nine contests in March as he tries to lead the Penguins' push for a playoff spot. Karlsson is up to seven goals, 49 points, 140 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating across 62 appearances.

Hyry notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

This was Hyry's first point in eight games for Dallas, all of which have come since the Olympic break. The 24-year-old is filling a fourth-line role in the absence of Radek Faksa (lower body), who isn't expected back until the last week of the regular season. Hyry has added 10 shots on net and 12 hits, but without more offense, he's not a fantasy option.

Myers notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Myers helped out on Adam Erne's tally late in the third period. This was Myers' first point in five games with the Stars. He's taken on a third-pairing role with his new team, adding a plus-1 rating, nine shots on net, seven hits and nine blocks. Overall, Myers has nine points, 80 shots, 100 blocks, 72 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-24 rating over 62 appearances between Dallas and Vancouver this year.

Erne scored a goal and added five PIM in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Erne's tally came just before the final buzzer. The 30-year-old is maintaining a fairly regular role on the Stars' fourth line, but it's not a spot that comes with much upside on offense. Erne has five goals, one assist, 33 shots on net, 109 hits and 15 PIM over 33 outings this season. He'll likely be a healthy scratch once the Stars get some injured forwards back, though that isn't imminent.

Steel scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Steel has three points over his last three games. The 28-year-old forward continues to do well in a middle-six role, offering depth scoring with a little physicality to balance the Stars' offense. Steel has 12 goals and 32 points, both career highs, while adding 79 shots on net, 74 hits, 24 PIM, 26 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 67 appearances.

Schmidt scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Schmidt had a four-point game Jan. 17 versus Seattle and then went 18 contests without getting on the scoresheet. He snapped the drought with a second-period tally Monday. Schmidt has five goals and 14 assists over 68 appearances this season, identically matching his offensive output from 80 regular-season outings with the Panthers last year. He's added 71 shots on net, 72 hits, 87 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating in 2025-26, providing some defensive stability on the Mammoth's blue line.

Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Yamamoto ended an 11-game point drought with the third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He's been a bottom-six regular lately despite his lack of offense. He's up to 10 goals, 18 points, 42 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-10 rating over 46 appearances, his best campaign in three seasons since he left the Oilers.
