Bouchard notched three assists, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.

One of Bouchard's helpers was on a Matt Savoie shorthanded goal. The 26-year-old Bouchard had a hand in all three of the Oilers' goals in the second period, which helped decide the game. The defenseman has matched his career high of 82 points from the 2023-24 regular season, and he has 10 games left to add to his totals. He's added 201 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating, which has made him well worth the early-round investment fantasy managers needed to get him back in the fall.

Silovs made 24 saves in a 6-2 loss to Colorado on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.

Silovs never recovered from a first-period flurry where he allowed three goals in a 1:55 span. But then again, his teammates are really struggling to score lately -- they have been outscored 11-3 in two straight losses. Silovs has been alternating starts with Stuart Skinner, and he's 2-1-0 in his last three and 5-3-0 in eight games since the Olympic break. Skinner is 1-2-4 in the same span, so the Pens could send Silovs out there a bit more often to keep a playoff spot. They are now third in the Metropolitan Division, just one point ahead of the Islanders in fourth.

Savoie scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.

Savoie has earned two goals and two assists over his last six games. The 22-year-old is playing in a top-line role and sees ice time in all situations, making him an ideal pick-up for the fantasy playoffs. He's up to 12 goals, 29 points, 108 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 72 outings this season, including five power-play points and two shorthanded goals.

Roslovic scored a pair of goals on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.

Roslovic got the Oilers on the board in the first period and put them up 4-2 in the second with his second tally. The 29-year-old had been limited to three points over his first 10 games in March before this breakout performance. He's now at 19 goals, 31 points, 123 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-8 rating over 59 appearances. Roslovic matched his career high with 22 goals in 81 regular-season outings for the Hurricanes last year, and he could push to match that number if he finishes strong in 2025-26.

Wedgewood made 30 saves in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

The Avs were sloppy in front of him, but Wedgewood held them in the game until they caught fire. He's back in the win column after going 0-1-1 in his previous two outings. Since the Olympic break, Wedgewood is 6-1-1 in eight starts with a sparkling .935 save percentage.

McDavid scored twice on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.

McDavid's first goal was the 400th of his career, and his second, the empty-netter to seal the win, was his 1,200th regular-season point. This was just his 784th regular-season contest, making him the third-fastest player to reach 1,200 points behind Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. March has been good to McDavid, who has five goals and 10 helpers over 11 contests this month. He's at 40 tallies -- a mark he's reached in five of his 11 seasons -- with 78 assists, 261 shots on net, 36 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 72 appearances.

Jarry stopped 16 of 18 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mammoth.

Jarry didn't face a lot of traffic in this outing, his first since he allowed seven goals to the Stars on March 12. The 30-year-old was able to get by with a flurry of goals that put the Oilers ahead for good in the second period. Jarry is up to 18-9-2 with a 3.34 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. While he got the win, it wasn't the type of performance that sets him up well to challenge Connor Ingram for the starting job. The Oilers' next game is Thursday in Vegas.

MacKinnon scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-2 win over the Penguins.

It was his league-leading 46th goal of the season. It was MacKinnon's 300th career even-strength goal, which is the second-most in Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques franchise history behind Joe Sakic (388). The goal gets MacKinnon back on the scoresheet after his five-game, 10-point scoring streak was snapped Sunday.

Malinski had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.

Malinski wired a wrist shot off the left post and in during a flurry of three Avs goals in a 1:55 span. The defender, who has 31 points (four goals, 27 assists) and 75 blocks in 70 games this season, had gone five games without a point. Still, he has more than doubled his previous career mark of 15 points (2024-25). Malinksi has done almost all his damage at even strength -- just one assist has come with the man advantage, and that came in mid-November.

Necas scored twice in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

His first goal stood as the winner; it came on the power play. Necas has seven points (three goals, four assists) and nine shots on his current three-game point streak. He continues to blast toward his first triple-digit point season. Necas has already obliterated his previous best (71 points) with 88 (34 goals, 54 assists) in 67 games. He sits sixth in the NHL in scoring, ahead of David Pastrnak (87).
