Jack Quinn RW | BUF
Sabres' Jack Quinn: Scoring outburst sets career firsts
Quinn scored a hat trick and had an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.
It was Quinn's first hattie and first four-point game in the NHL. He ended a 12-game goal drought. Quinn's teammates were raving to reporters about the forward after the game: "Every practice, every day, he's in here in the shooting room working on his game," said Beck Malenstyn. "He has such a knack for scoring, such a gift to be able to do it. He contorts his body in ways that I think my back would go out if I tried to, and what he can put on the puck is just incredible." Quinn had been quiet since the break, putting up just two assists in seven games prior to Tuesday. Overall, the winger has 15 goals, 28 assists and 141 shots in 65 games. That puts him on pace where he could finish with a career-best 55 points this season.

Lightning's J.J. Moser: Four points in last two games
Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Columbus.
It was a point shot through traffic. Moser has four points, including two goals, in his last two games. His two shots Tuesday pushed him to 94 this season -- that's a career high. Moser has seven goals and 17 assists in 61 games this season. Those seven goals equal his career mark, which he set in Arizona in 2022-23.

Jets' Thomas Milic: Back-to-back AHL shutouts
Milic logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 4-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.
Milic has recorded shutouts in consecutive games, giving him three on the year. He's up to 14-7-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Milic's recent momentum could position him well for a call-up if something happens to one of the Jets' NHL netminders.

Morgan Barron C | WPG
Jets' Morgan Barron: Finds twine in Tuesday's loss
Barron scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.
Barron has three goals on nine shots over his last three contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring Tuesday, but the Ducks took control with two goals in a span of 14 seconds just over a minute after Barron scored. Barron has 10 goals, 20 points, 84 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-7 rating through 54 appearances this season. He's one goal and one point shy of matching his career highs in each category.

Connor Hellebuyck G | WPG
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Yields three goals in loss
Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Hellebuyck's three-game winning streak came to a close. This was his first regulation loss since Feb. 4 versus the Canadiens. The 32-year-old netminder has at least looked pretty good recently, though his two worst outings have seen him give up eight goals on 74 shots against the Ducks. For the season, Hellebuyck is down to 16-17-9 with a 2.74 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 42 starts. The Jets have a more favorable matchup ahead Thursday when they host the Rangers.

Andrei Vasilevskiy G | TB
Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Rough night in blue paint
Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
It wasn't Vasilevskiy's fault. Coach Jon Cooper summed things up to reporters after the game: "Tonight was abnormally bad... This little rut we're in has lasted a lot longer than I anticipated." Tampa Bay has lost six of seven. Vasilevskiy is 1-4-0 in that span.

Tim Washe C | ANA
Ducks' Tim Washe: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Washe scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Washe earned his first goal since Jan. 16 versus the Kings. The 24-year-old is currently filling a fourth-line role, so there's not a lot of fantasy value to gather from his play. He's put up two goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 48 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 21 appearances with the Ducks this season.

Ryan Poehling C | ANA
Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Two-point effort in win
Poehling scored a goal on five shots, added an assist, logged three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Poehling has four points over his last four contests. The 27-year-old has made a good impression in his first year with the Ducks, and that earned him a four-year contract extension last week. Poehling is up to eight goals, 27 points, 68 shots on net, 31 hits, 64 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 57 appearances. He's well on his way to topping his 31-point total from 68 games with the Flyers last year, but he's no more than a depth option in fantasy.

Alex Killorn LW | ANA
Ducks' Alex Killorn: Goal, assist in win
Killorn scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
Killorn snapped a five-game point drought with this performance. The 36-year-old has moved to the third line recently, but he still plays a key all-around role for the Ducks as one of the team's reliable veteran forwards. He's up to nine goals, 22 points, 117 shots on net, 52 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 64 appearances. Killorn may have some value in deep fantasy formats, but he doesn't do enough to help in standard formats most of the time.

Jackson LaCombe D | ANA
Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Earns two points Tuesday
LaCombe scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
LaCombe had a hand in Ryan Poehling's go-ahead goal in the second period, and he added the empty-netter for insurance. This was LaCombe's second multi-point effort in his last three contests. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to eight goals and a career-high 45 points through 64 outings, surpassing his 43-point effort from 75 games a year ago. He's added 128 shots on net, 109 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-1 rating this season.
