Bertuzzi scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Both points came in the first period to help Chicago build an early 3-1 lead. Bertuzzi's tally was his 29th of the season, one short of the career high he set in 2021-22 with Detroit. Through 12 games in March, he has delivered three goals and eight points.

Soderblom made 44 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

It's the third time in his last six starts that Soderblom has faced at least 45 shots, but unlike the first two games, the 26-year-old netminder came away with a victory. Over that stretch, which dates back to Jan. 29, Soderblom has gone 2-3-1 with a 3.51 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Foote scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

In his third game of the season for the Panthers, Foote opened the scoring early in the second period by banging the puck past Joey Daccord to convert a two-on-one break. It was Foote's seventh tally in 33 career games spread over six seasons, as the 25-year-old winger has yet to win a consistent role at the top level. With Florida's forward ranks depleted by injuries and the team out of the playoff picture, he could get a longer look down the stretch after producing 14 goals and 32 points in 54 games for AHL Charlotte this season.

Gregor scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Seattle.

After being called up from AHL Charlotte to provide some depth, Gregor made a surprising impact. He received credit for a goal that Shane Wright put into his own net. Gregor has just two goals and five points in 25 NHL games this season, and his fourth-line assignment makes a repeat performance highly unlikely for however long he's up with the big club.

Bobrovsky stopped 22 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

The Panthers squandered a 4-1 lead in the third period. allowing two breakaways 14 seconds apart to Jordan Eberle and Bobby McMann to tie the game. However, Bobrovsky didn't allow a goal in the shootout to secure the win. The veteran netminder has won four of his last five starts, going 4-1-0 with a 2.15 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Eberle produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Florida.

Both points came in the third period as the Kraken rallied from 3-0 and 4-1 deficits to force overtime. Eberle has been productive since the Olympic break, earning three goals and 13 points in his last 12 games. The veteran winger has 51 points through 68 contests, crossing the 50-point mark for the first time since the 2022-23 regular season.

Daccord turned aside 21 of 24 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.

Florida's fourth goal in regulation deflected in off the stick of Shane Wright, who was attempting to block a centering pass by Noah Gregor. Daccord has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-5-1 during that stretch with a 3.94 GAA and .862 save percentage.

Larkin scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Making his return from a seven-game absence due to a leg injury, Larkin found the back of the net early in the third period for the game's final goal. The 29-year-old star has 29 goals in 64 games on the season, leaving him one short of his fifth straight 30-goal campaign.

Gibson stopped 18 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Ottawa took control early and built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, and while Gibson shut the door the rest of the way, his offense couldn't close the gap. The veteran netminder has allowed more than three goals only once in 10 March outings while posting a 2.47 GAA and .909 save percentage, but he has just a 3-5-1 record to show for it.

Yakemchuk scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.

After being called up from AHL Belleville due to injuries to Thomas Chabot (arm) and Lassi Thomson (lower body), Yakemchuk made an immediate impact. The seventh overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft picked up his first NHL point on Brady Tkachuk's first-period tally. Yakemchuk scored a goal of his own by snapping a puck past John Gibson from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the second frame. With Jake Sanderson (upper body) also still unavailable, the 20-year-old Yakemchuk split time on the first power-play unit with Jordan Spence, but that could change if the team doesn't get healthier down the stretch.
