Greig produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over Buffalo.

After helping to set up Dylan Cozens for Ottawa's first goal late in the first period, Greig potted an empty-netter late in the third. It was Greig's first multi-point performance since Jan. 20, but he's closing in on career highs with 12 goals and 31 points through 70 games on the season.

Ullmark turned aside 21 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

A Mattias Samuelsson tally midway through the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but otherwise Ullmark was sharp as Ottawa stayed ahead of Detroit and Columbus in the battle for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The veteran netminder has given the Sens some stability in the crease over the last few weeks, going 5-2-1 in his last eight outings with a 2.61 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Luukkonen stopped 20 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators, with Ottawa's final two goals getting scored into an empty net.

The Sabres will have to wait at least one more game to officially end their playoff drought. Luukkonen has been doing his part to push them across the finish line, allowing three goals or fewer in six of his last seven starts while going 4-2-1 with a stellar 1.99 GAA and .927 save percentage.

Ersson made 15 saves in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.

The final line was shaky for the 26-year-old netminder, but Ersson didn't actually have much of a chance at stopping any of the pucks that got past him. It was his first regulation loss since Jan. 29, and over seven outings since the Olympic break Ersson's gone 5-1-0 with a dazzling 1.86 GAA and .913 save percentage.

Copp notched two assists in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Both helpers came in the third period on tallies by Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, as Detroit's second line combined for three goals and seven points. It was Copp's first multi-point performance since Jan. 24, and over seven games since returning from a leg injury in mid-March he's collected one goal and four points.

DeBrincat scored two goals, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

The Red Wings' second line of DeBrincat, Patrick Kane and Andrew Copp combined for three goals and seven points on the night. DeBrincat is one goal short of reaching 40 for the third time in his career, and he's been locked in over the last month as the Red Wings push for a playoff spot. Over the last 11 games, the 28-year-old winger has delivered six goals and 17 points.

Kane scored the game-winning goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Flyers.

The Red Wings' second line of Kane, Alex DeBrincat and Andrew Copp combined for three goals and seven points on the night. Kane is thriving in the heat of a playoff race, and over the last eight games the 37-year-old winger has racked up four goals and 12 points.

Gibson turned aside 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

The victory allowed the Red Wings to keep pace with the Senators in the battle for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Gibson has allowed more than three goals only once in his last 10 outings, going 4-5-1 over that stretch with a 2.86 GAA and .899 save percentage. Detroit has seven games left on its schedule, and the veteran netminder needs three more wins to tie the career-high 31 he recorded for Anaheim in 2017-18.

Bennett scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Bruins.

The veteran center gave Florida a 2-0 lead a little under eight minutes into the first period, ripping a rebound past Jeremy Swayman from the slot. It was Bennett's 26th goal of the season and his fifth GWG, and over 13 games since the beginning of March he's produced six goals and 12 points as the Panthers play out the string on a disappointing campaign.

Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.

All the scoring in the game happened in the first period, with Bobrovsky engaging in a goaltending duel with Jeremy Swayman the rest of the way, Bobrovsky has locked in to close out a disappointing season for the defending Stanley Cup champs, going 5-2-0 over his last seven starts with a stellar 1.97 GAA and .922 save percentage.
