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.

Hill allowed three goals on 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Jets. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Hill once again faced a fairly light workload, but he wasn't able to take advantage of it. He has started eight of the Golden Knights' last nine games, going 3-5-0 with 16 goals allowed on 143 shots (.888 save percentage) in that span. That's still better than his overall work this season -- he's at a 9-9-3 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 23 starts. The Golden Knights' next game is a pivotal one for playoff positioning, as they host the Oilers on Thursday.

Kucherov delivered an assist Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Wild.

Not only does he lead the NHL in scoring with 40 goals and 80 assists in 66 games, but he is only the eighth player in NHL history with at least four career 120-point regular seasons. He's on an impressive list with Wayne Gretzky (14), Mario Lemieux (eight), Marcel Dionne (six), Phil Esposito (six), Guy Lafleur (five), Jaromir Jagr (four) and Bobby Orr (four). Kucherov is on a five-game, 14-point scoring streak (six goals, eight assists).

Perfetti scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Perfetti had been limited to two assists over his previous five games. The tally was his 10th of the season, but eight of them have come over his last 31 contests, showing an improvement after his slow start to the campaign. He's earned 28 points, 120 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-5 rating through 57 appearances, mainly in a second-line role.

Iafallo scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Iafallo ended a five-game point drought with the tally. The 32-year-old winger has gotten some top-line opportunities lately, and while he's not cashing in regularly, that assignment gives him some scoring upside for fantasy. He's produced 12 goals, 26 points, 99 shots on net, 103 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 71 appearances this season, putting him right in line with his scoring numbers over the previous two years since he joined the Jets.

Connor scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Connor opened the scoring at 17:25 of the first period and set up Mark Scheifele's empty-net goal in the third. With five goals and nine assists over 13 outings in March, Connor continues to provide steady offense on the Jets' top line. The 29-year-old winger is up to 32 goals, 81 points, 232 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 71 appearances this season. He's reached the 80-point mark in four of the last five seasons and still has time to get to 90 or more for the third time in his career.

Scheifele scored an empty-net goal on three shots, dished two assists, added five PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Scheifele had a Gordie Howe hat trick in this contest. He assisted on the Jets' first two goals, and he fought Brett Howden late in the second period after Howden's hit on Kyle Connor. Scheifele completed his effort with the empty-netter. The center snapped a three-game skid and earned his fifth multi-point effort of March in the process. He's up to 32 goals, 54 assists, 153 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 71 appearances. Scheifele is now one point shy of matching his career-high total of 87 from the 2024-25 regular season.

Faber grabbed his 15th goal of the season Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

It came on a first period power play when his point shot deflected off the bottom on Andrei Vasilevskiy's glove. Faber's goal established a new career mark in points (48) in 72 games. He's already building a new career mark in goals; his previous best was 10. Remarkably, this was Faber's first power-play goal of the season. The talented blueliner has five points (one goal, four assists) in his last four games.

Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Hellebuyck had gone 0-1-2 with 13 goals allowed over his previous three outings. He locked in for a good performance in this one, allowing just a Colton Sissons power-play tally in the second period. Hellebuyck's record has taken a hit with the Jets' overall struggles this year, as he's now at 18-19-11 through 48 starts. He's added a 2.81 GAA and an .898 save percentage, but he remains firmly in the starting role for a team still on the fringe of the playoff race. He may be a goalie to avoid for the rest of the week in fantasy since the Jets' next two games are against the Avalanche.
