Haula scored a goal and added four PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Haula snapped a three-game skid with the tally at 10:18 of the second period. The 34-year-old center filled a larger role Thursday since Ryan O'Reilly (face) was unavailable. Haula is up to 10 goals, 31 points, 94 shots on net, 79 hits, 39 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 62 appearances, mainly in a top-six role.

Forsberg scored a power-play goal on six shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Forsberg has a power-play tally in three straight games. The 31-year-old's goal was also the game-winner, his second such goal this season. The winger is up to 28 tallies, 53 points (19 on the power play), 196 shots on net, 107 hits and a minus-5 rating through 62 appearances in a top-six role.

Wood scored two goals on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Wood's first goal was shorthanded. The 21-year-old also got a look at center for this contest, winning six of nine faceoffs. Wood is a natural winger and it remains to be seen if he'll stick down the middle in the long run, but the Predators are short there currently due to Ryan O'Reilly's (face) absence and the trade of Michael McCarron to the Wild earlier in the week. Wood is up to 12 goals, 21 points, 76 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-1 rating over 51 appearances. He's an interesting speculative addition for fantasy as Nashville pivots toward a youth movement down the stretch.

Saros stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Saros ended a slide in which he was winless over his last four outings, allowing 17 goals in that span. The 30-year-old netminder still made it interesting by allowing two goals in the third period, but the Bruins ran out of time on their comeback effort. Saros is up to 22-18-6 with a 3.18 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 47 starts this season. The Predators kick off a road trip Saturday in Buffalo.

Hellebuyck made 26 saves in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Hellebuyck is undefeated in regulation (2-0-2) since his gold-medal domination at the 2026 Olympics. But the Jets have already started to strip off parts, especially with Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley headed out of town. Hellebuyck will suffer a bit with those two pillars on D headed out of town.

Carlson (lower body) was traded to the Ducks from the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a conditional first-round pick and a 2026 third-round pick.

Carlson had played his entire career with the Capitals since he was drafted 27th overall in 2008. He ranks fifth in franchise history with 771 points and is second in team history with 1,143 games played. This stunning trade will see Carlson head out west, where he'll provide valuable offense as well as veteran experience on a young Ducks team that also has Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas on the right side of the blue line. Carlson's status is uncertain due to his injury, but once he's ready to play, he should be in a top-four role and on one of Anaheim's two power-play units. Carlson will be a free agent this summer.

Nyquist scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

It's Nyquist's first goal of the season and first as a Jet. It came in his 40th game this season. His time as a source of secondary scoring seems to be over. Nyquist has just 10 points this season after putting up 28 in 81 games last year. It's easy to forget his career-best 75 points in 2023-24.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Vasilevskiy has lost three straight games and allowed 12 goals in that span, while the Bolts have lost four straight. Despite the slump, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Vasilevskiy is 28-10-3 with a 2.28 GAA and .914 save percentage in 41 games this season.

Point scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Point buried the rebound after Darren Raddysh hammered a point shot off the end boards and back into the slot. It was his 15th snipe of the season. Point has points in four of the five games since the break and seven points, including four goals, and 10 shots in that span.

Carrick was traded to the Sabres from the Rangers in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

The Sabres continue to stock up at the deadline and will boost their bottom six with a defensive center who can win faceoffs at a high rate. Carrick has struggled with the Rangers, posting just 10 points in 60 contests. He's added 86 hits, 53 PIM and 56 shots on net. Carrick won't move the needle in fantasy, but he can certainly help Buffalo's on-ice situation with his skill set.
