Raddysh logged two power-play assists, six shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Raddysh saw a six-game point streak end Tuesday in Pittsburgh, but it didn't take him long to get back on the scoresheet. He helped out on power-play tallies by Nikita Kucherov and Oliver Bjorkstrand in this contest. Raddysh continues to play a massive role, especially with the man advantage, in the absence of Victor Hedman (elbow). For the season, Raddysh has career highs in goals (12), points (41), power-play points (15) and plus-minus rating (plus-17) while adding 97 shots on net, 38 hits and 37 blocked shots across 40 appearances.

Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Bjorkstrand snapped a nine-game goal drought when he tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. He picked up five assists, including two on the power play, during that stretch. While he's in a bottom-six role at even strength, Bjorkstrand's usage with the man advantage remains significant in keeping his offense afloat. For the season, the winger has seven goals, 22 points (11 on the power play), 72 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-7 rating over 46 outings.

Kucherov scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Kucherov's 10-game point streak, which included nine consecutive multi-point efforts, ended in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins. He was right back at it Friday with his 25th multi-point game of the season. Through 42 outings overall, the superstar winger has 24 goals, 45 helpers, 22 power-play points, 127 shots on net and a plus-20 rating. He's trailing only Nathan MacKinnon (82), Connor McDavid (82) and Macklin Celebrini (72) in points this season.

Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 21 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Vasilevskiy was between the pipes for eight of the 11 wins during the Lightning's streak, which was snapped Friday. The 31-year-old netminder still hasn't allowed more than three goals since Dec. 20 versus the Hurricanes, a strong stretch of play that is what fantasy managers have come to expect from him. Vasilevskiy is at a 19-7-3 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 29 starts this season. The Lightning close out this five-game road trip in Dallas on Sunday.

Bjugstad scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Bjugstad has a goal in each of the two games he's played since returning from a month-long absence due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old has reclaimed a bottom-six role and should be a regular in the Blues' lineup moving forward. He's at seven points, 43 shots on net, 54 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 27 appearances this season.

Neighbours scored a goal and added four hits in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Neighbours is now on a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). The winger opened the scoring at 17:03 of the first period. Prior to his recent burst of offense, Neighbours had gone eight games without a point, and consistency is likely to remain an issue on a low-scoring team. The 23-year-old has 12 goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net, 99 hits and a minus-12 rating across 36 appearances.

Hofer stopped 34 of 36 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Hofer had a tall task, but he was up to the challenge even after surrendering a two-goal lead in the second period. The 25-year-old netminder gave up a pair of power-play goals in a span of 62 seconds, but he was perfect the rest of the way and through the shootout to snap the Lightning's 11-game winning streak. Hofer is up to 11-9-2 with a 2.76 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 26 appearances this season. He's won five of his last seven outings and is starting to take on a majority of the playing time over Jordan Binnington. The Blues open a three-game road trip when they visit the Oilers on Sunday.

Clang posted a 19-save shutout in AHL San Diego's 1-0 win over Abbotsford on Friday.

Clang has two shutouts in his last five games. He's up to 7-2-3 with a 2.19 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 13 appearances this season. He's still fourth on the Ducks' organizational depth chart in goal, but Petr Mrazek's (lower body) absence has opened the door for Clang to see regular time with the Gulls over the last few weeks.

Robidas scored twice in AHL Chicago's 5-4 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

Robidas has seven goals and two assists over his last seven games. He's up to a total of 17 goals and 29 points over 31 appearances with the Wolves this season. He's in a tie for 10th in the AHL for goals through Friday's action, but his productivity hasn't led to a long-term chance with the Hurricanes.

Olausson scored twice in AHL Iowa's 3-2 loss to Toronto on Friday.

Olausson is up to six goals and 14 points through 31 outings this season. That's in line with his 26 points in 61 games with AHL Colorado during the 2024-25 regular season. Olausson hasn't been called upon when the Wild have had injuries at forward, so his chances of getting a call-up appear slim.
