Malott's point drought reached nine games in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Malott has just two helpers over 16 contests since the start of February. His slump could cost him playing time -- he sat out Sunday versus the Mammoth but bumped Alex Turcotte back out of the lineup Tuesday. Malott has minimal fantasy upside -- he's at nine points, 49 shots on net, 154 hits, 41 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 53 appearances this season.

Armia notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Armia missed 10 games due to an upper-body injury just after the Olympic break, and he's been back in action for three contests. The 32-year-old winger is filling a bottom-six role, so his offense is likely to remain limited. He has 21 points, 68 shots on net, 59 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 56 appearances.

Byfield scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Byfield logged his third multi-point effort in the last five games with this performance. He has four goals and three assists in that span. Late surges aren't unusual for Byfield -- he picked up 12 goals and 20 points after the start of March in the 2024-25 regular season. This year's push has started a little later, but it makes the 23-year-old an interesting option for fantasy managers in need of a boost. He's now at 17 goals, 40 points, 148 shots on net, 53 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Gustavsson made 19 saves in a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He allowed four goals.

The game was a deadlock until there was just 2:53 left in the third -- the teams were playing playoff hockey. Gustavsson is 26-12-6 with four shutouts, 2.51 GAA and .911 save percentage this season. Since mid-January, he is 12-3-1 with a .909 save percentage in 16 appearances. Gustavsson is the top dog in the Wild net right now. Jesper Wallstedt has tremendous promise, but he's 2-5-2 with an .890 save percentage in eight outings in the same span.

Kuemper stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Kuemper wasn't able to protect a pair of one-goal leads. He then faltered in the shootout, allowing goals to two of the four Calgary shooters to cost the Kings a point in the standings from what was a winnable matchup. He's taken three straight losses past regulation time, giving up nine goals on 77 shots in that span. For the season, Kuemper has a 17-13-13 record with a 2.66 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 45 starts. The Kings' next game is another favorable one as they visit the Canucks on Thursday.

Maatta scored a goal and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

Maatta has thrived so far in Calgary, earning six points over 10 games since he was acquired as part of the return in the MacKenzie Weegar trade. The goal was his first since Feb. 6, 2025. He's earned seven points, 25 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 32 outings between the Flames and the Mammoth this season.

Parekh scored a power-play goal on five shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

Parekh's first goal of the season tied the contest at 2-2 in the third period. The 20-year-old defenseman has dealt with plenty of growing pains on a low-scoring team this year, which has limited him to four points, 28 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 26 appearances. All of his points have come with the man advantage, where he's now on the first unit, but he remains limited to the third pairing at even strength to give him more sheltered usage.

Wolf stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

Wolf has won his last two outings, stopping 47 of 50 shots in those games. The 24-year-old was having a rough March before that, but a return to alternating games with Devin Cooley has given Wolf enough of a refresh to get on track. For the season, Wolf is up to 21-25-3 with a 2.95 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 51 appearances. He is likely to surpass the 53 games played he had last year. The Flames host the Ducks on Thursday.

Zuccarello potted his 14th goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Zuccarello has two goals and two assists in his last five games. Tuesday's goal was a fluke, but they all count the same, pretty or not. Zuccarello's pass attempt from the left circle deflected off Ryan McDonagh's skate and past Andrei Vasilevskiy. The winger has 14 goals, 29 assists, 109 shots, 23 blocks and 16 hits in 52 contests this season. His fantasy contributions remain solid despite his increasing age.

Sissons scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Sissons scored midway through the second period, but he was the only Vegas player to solve Connor Hellebuyck in this contest. The power-play usage is fairly new for Sissons, who has been on and off the second unit all season but has two points with the man advantage over his last two games. For the season, the 32-year-old is at six goals, 11 points, 65 shots on net, 83 hits, 39 blocked shots and 19 PIM over 56 appearances. His bottom-six role at even strength is likely to keep his offense limited.
