  • Flames' Brayden Pachal: Nabs assist in win

    Pachal posted an assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Devils.

    Pachal has played in five straight contests. He has received an uptick in usage after the Flames dealt MacKenzie Weegar to the Mammoth, though Pachal's role is far from safe with younger options in Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz competing for minutes. Through 32 outings this season, Pachal has four assists, 24 shots on net, 79 hits, 27 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-2 rating, primarily from a third-pairing role.

  • Adam Klapka RW | CGY

    Flames' Adam Klapka: Adds assist in win

    Klapka notched an assist and six hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Devils.

    Klapka has earned two helpers over seven contests in March. The 25-year-old forward is filling a bottom-six role with minimal power-play usage, so he isn't exactly in a position to pile up points, especially on a low-scoring team. Klapka has 14 points, 65 shots on net, 247 hits, 42 blocked shots, 97 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 64 outings this season, offering physicality and little else.

  • Flames' Victor Olofsson: Picks up helper for new team

    Olofsson notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Devils.

    Olofsson was dealt from the Avalanche at the trade deadline, and few players who were moved took as much of a hit to their fantasy value. He is playing regularly on the Flames' third line, but the team's lack of offense is likely to limit his offense. The helper was Olofsson's first point in three games with the Flames. He's at 26 points, 112 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 63 appearances on the year.

  • Jake Chiasson RW | OTT

    Canadiens' Jake Chiasson: Traded Friday

    Chiasson and Hunter Shepard were acquired by Montreal from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Riley Kidney.

    Chiasson has an assist in 20 outings with AHL Belleville in 2025-26. He also has two goals and eight points in 14 appearances with ECHL Allen this season. Chiasson will transfer to Montreal's minor-league system.

  • Bruins' Fraser Minten: Breaks up shutout bid

    Minten scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

    Minten snapped a nine-game slump with the tally, which got the Bruins on the board in the third period. The 21-year-old has had a decent amount of success as the third-line center this season, but there are still some ups and downs with his offense. He's up to 15 goals, 30 points, 88 shots on net, 116 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating across 65 outings.

  • Canadiens' Hunter Shepard: Involved in minor-league trade

    Shepard and Jake Chiasson were acquired by Montreal from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Riley Kidney.

    Shepard has a 3.65 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 15 outings with AHL Belleville in 2025-26. He also has a 2-3-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .863 save percentage in six career regular-season NHL appearances. This move occurred after the NHL trade deadline, so Shepard isn't eligible to play for Montreal for the remainder of 2025-26, including the playoffs.

  • Collin Graf RW | SJ

    Sharks' Collin Graf: Nets shorthanded goal in win

    Graf scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.

    Graf has two goals and three assists over six outings in March. This tally was likely a little more special for the Massachusetts native, as it came against his childhood team. The 23-year-old has racked up 17 goals, 36 points (three shorthanded, one on the power play), 86 shots on net, 68 hits and 42 blocked shots over 62 outings this season, his first full NHL campaign.

  • Sam Carrick C | BUF

    Sabres' Sam Carrick: Scores in Thursday's loss

    Carrick scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

    Carrick is already proving valuable for the Sabres with two goals, six shots, eight hits and four blocked shots over his first four games with the team. His offense probably won't hold up over time, but it's his defensive skills that made him a trade target to begin with. The 34-year-old is at six goals, 12 points, 62 shots on net, 94 hits, 33 blocked shots and 58 PIM across 64 appearances between the Sabres and the Rangers this season.

  • Ryan Leonard RW | WAS

    Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Stays hot with goal

    Leonard scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.

    Leonard's point streak is at five games (four goals, one assist), and he's scored in three straight contests. The 21-year-old is still playing on the third line and second power-play unit, but his confidence is rising late in the season. That's encouraging to see after his struggles in late January and February. Leonard has 14 goals, 35 points, 117 shots on net, 89 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 60 appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Nets goal in overtime loss

    Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

    Fantilli has stepped up since the Olympic break, earning six goals and four assists over his last nine outings. Just one of those points has come on the power play, but he's playing on the top unit and should find success in that situation eventually. He's up to 19 goals, 46 points, 171 shots on net, 105 hits, 41 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-10 rating across 65 appearances this season.
