    Wild's Matt Boldy: Scores PP goal in SO loss

    Boldy scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Boldy has scored in back-to-back games, showing signs that he's snapping the four-game scoreless skid he had between March 1 and March 8. Boldy has been one of the most productive forwards in the Western Conference since the Olympic break, tallying five goals and seven assists in eight contests. He's also racked up 34 shots on goal, 11 hits and seven blocked shots while posting a plus-5 rating. Look for Boldy to remain a key contributor for the Wild as a top-six forward and top option on the No. 1 power play unit.

  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Goal streak reaches three games

    Kaprizov scored a goal in his lone shot in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.

    Kaprizov is widely seen as one of the best pure scorers in the NHL, and he's been extremely hot since the Olympic break. The star winger has found the back of the net in three games in a row and in six of the last seven. In eight games since the Olympic break, Kaprizov has tallied nine points, with six goals and three helpers, while posting a plus-2 rating and 22 shots on goal.

  • Owen Tippett RW | PHI

    Flyers' Owen Tippett: Pots goal Thursday

    Tippett scored a shorthanded goal on six shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

    Tippett has found the back of the net in three of the Flyers' last four games, and he's been producing at a high level on the first line. Tippett has also experienced an uptick in his volume, averaging 3.14 shots in his last seven games. To put things into perspective, he's averaging 2.65 shots per game across 65 outings in 2025-26.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Poor performance vs. NYR

    Hellebuyck stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.

    Hellebuyck didn't have his best performance in this game and posted a woeful .688 save percentage -- his lowest mark in a single game in which he started in the current campaign. However, this was the first time he allowed more than three goals in a game since the beginning of March. In six starts, Hellebuyck has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .901 save percentage this month.

  • J.T. Miller C | NYR

    Rangers' J.T. Miller: Officially labeled game-time call

    Miller (upper body) was deemed a game-time call ahead of Saturday's matchup with Minnesota after head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "I would anticipate him playing, but he'll be a game-time decision," Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

    Miller was skating with the top power-play unit at Friday's practice, so fantasy managers can anticipate the veteran forward will be cleared to play. Once given the green light, Miller will have a chance to get over the 40-point threshold for the 11th straight season, though he could post his lowest point total since 2020-21.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Earns third straight win

    Shesterkin stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

    Shesterkin has won his last three starts and has allowed two goals or fewer in two of those wins. The Rangers are all but eliminated from postseason contention, but Shesterkin should remain a valuable fantasy asset in most formats. He owns a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage in six appearances since the Olympic break, going 4-0-2 in that span.

  • Dan Vladar G | PHI

    Flyers' Dan Vladar: Earns shootout win

    Vladar stopped 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

    Vladar was beaten twice in the second period when Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov found the back of the net, but he was impressive the rest of the way. The 28-year-old Vladar stepped up in the shootout as well and stopped all three shots. This was a nice bounce-back effort from Vladar, who allowed six goals on 24 shots faced in the 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday. The Czech goaltender has allowed three or fewer goals in all but one of his last 11 appearances, posting a 2.45 GAA and a .904 save percentage in that span.

  • Stars' Kyle Capobianco: Squeezed out of lineup

    Capobianco was scratched for the eighth consecutive game in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Oilers.

    Capobianco went 10 games without a point prior to this run in the press box. The Stars beefed up their blue line at the trade deadline, picking up Tyler Myers from the Canucks while also getting Lian Bichsel back from an injury. Capobianco may mix in occasionally, but with Dallas carrying nine blueliners on the NHL roster, there's not a lot of room for him to play regularly. He has five points, 26 blocked shots, 17 shots on net and 12 hits over 31 appearances this season.

  • Josh Bloom LW | VAN

    Oilers' Josh Bloom: Dealt to Edmonton

    Bloom was acquired by Edmonton from Vancouver in exchange for Jayden Grubbe on Friday.

    Friday is the AHL deadline for trades. Bloom, who was selected in the third round, 95th overall, in 2021 by Buffalo, had one goal in 19 games with AHL Abbotsford this season, prior to the trade. He will join ECHL Fort Wayne for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Devils' Nick Bjugstad: First point with new team

    Bjugstad logged an assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    This was Bjugstad's first point in nine outings with the Devils since he was dealt from the Blues. The 33-year-old has taken over a consistent fourth-line spot, so it's unlikely he maintains much offense over the rest of the season. He's earned eight points, 65 shots on net, 85 hits and 27 PIM across 44 appearances this season.
