Lankinen stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Lankinen took his fourth loss in a row. He's allowed 15 goals on 121 shots in that span. The Canucks have given him just six goals of support during this skid, so it doesn't look like he's going to get much help. The 30-year-old dropped to 8-25-5 with a 3.62 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. Lankinen may have the playing time, but he's best avoided in most fantasy formats. The Canucks are set to head out on a road trip, beginning Saturday in Calgary.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, levied five hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Barbashev has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. His contributions Thursday were his first even-strength points during the streak. The 30-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, 52 points, 120 shots on net, 121 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 73 appearances. Barbashev continues to be a quality fantasy option given his top-line status for the Golden Knights.

Stone scored twice on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Stone had been limited to two assists, both coming March 14 against Chicago, over his last seven outings. He got back in the goal column with a pair of second-period tallies, though the Oilers had a quick response for each one. Stone is up to 23 goals, 64 points, 110 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 51 appearances this season. He was shooting 22.8 percent prior to the Olympic break, but he's down to 20.9 percent thanks to his recent slump, which is regression that could be tough to shake off late in the campaign.

Hill stopped 25 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

This was the first time in 10 outings where Hill allowed more than three goals. He's made good progress in that area, but he's still just 4-5-1 in that span. Hill is 9-9-4 with a 3.07 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. While he's not getting stellar results, the Golden Knights don't have anyone better, so expect the 29-year-old to continue operating in the starting role. The Golden Knights host the Capitals on Saturday.

Savoie scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Savoie has scored in back-to-back games and has five points over his last seven outings. He's getting top-line usage at even strength and making the most of his opportunity alongside Connor McDavid, who set up his first-period tally Thursday. Savoie is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 112 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 73 appearances this season. He's earned 12 of his points over the last 15 contests since the Olympic break.

Hyman scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

With the tally, Hyman returned to the 30-goal mark for the third time in four seasons. The 33-year-old winger has earned three goals and an assist over his last six contests. For the season, he's up to 48 points, 154 shots on net, 49 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 54 appearances.

Bouchard scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Bouchard has earned a goal and seven helpers over his last six contests. His goal was his first since March 12 versus the Stars, and it was his 20th of the campaign. This is the first time the defenseman has reached that mark, and he also set a career high in points with 84 through 73 appearances. The 26-year-old has added 203 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 73 appearances. Bouchard is seven points ahead of Zach Werenski for the scoring lead among blueliners, giving the Edmonton rearguard a growing case for Norris Trophy consideration.

McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

McDavid's first helper was the 800th of his career, coming just one game after he reached the 1,200-point plateau. The 32-year-old kept rolling with a second-period tally and another primary assist to set up Evan Bouchard's game-winner in overtime. McDavid has four goals and two assists during his active three-game point streak. For the season, the superstar is up to 41 goals, 121 points, 263 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 73 appearances. He's the ninth player to secure at least four regular seasons of 120-plus points, and the second to achieve that feat this week after Nikita Kucherov did it Tuesday.

Ingram stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

The Oilers opened a two-point lead on the Golden Knights for second in the Pacific Division with this win. Ingram has started six of the last seven games for Edmonton, going 3-2-1 despite allowing at least three goals in five of his outings in that span. The 28-year-old netminder is up to 12-8-2 with a 2.83 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 25 appearances. Ingram will likely get the nod again Saturday versus the Ducks as the Oilers look to close the gap for the division lead.

Vasilevskiy made 15 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken on Thursday.

Vasilevskiy's work earned the Lightning a point, but the Kraken were the more desperate team. Vasilevskiy has picked up points in each of his last five outings, going 4-0-1. Overall, the big netminder is 34-12-4 with a 2.33 GAA, a .912 save percentage and two shutouts.
