Johansson scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

After picking up two points in the first period, while the Wild surged out to a 3-1 lead, Johansson set up Mats Zuccarello for the game-winner. It was Johansson's most productive performance since Dec. 29, when he erupted for four points against the Golden Knights. His goal in Tuesday's contest also snapped a 15-game drought. On the season, the veteran winger has 14 goals and 43 points in 62 contests, and he still has a shot at recording his first 50-point performance since the 2016-17 regular season.

Wallstedt stopped both shots he faced in relief of Filip Gustavsson during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

Gustavsson left the ice for a little over three minutes during the third period due to an equipment issue, and Wallstedt held down the fort until he returned. Wallstedt hasn't won a game since Jan. 31 and has fallen behind Gustavsson in the pecking order for the Wild. However, the 23-year-old Wallstedt has a 2.20 GAA and .922 save percentage over four outings in March despite a record of 0-1-2.

Gustavsson turned aside 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

The 27-year-old netminder briefly left the game in the third period for some equipment maintenance, but Gustavsson returned to the crease in time to collect the victory. Gustavsson has allowed three goals or fewer in six of seven outings since returning from the Olympics, going 5-2-0 with a stellar 1.88 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Hutson picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

The star blueliner had a hand in Montreal's final two tallies, including Cole Caufield's game-winner. Hutson has gotten onto the scoresheet in seven of eight games in March, piling up one goal and 10 points. He remains on pace for his first 80-point campaign with 69 points (11 goals, 58 assists) through 67 contests.

Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston.

The 26-year-old center got Montreal on the board midway through the first period, getting the puck right on Jeremy Swayman's doorstep and flipping a backhand past the netminder. Suzuki also set up Cole Caufield's game-winner. Suzuki has five multi-point performances in 10 games since returning from the Olympics. Tuesday's effort pushed him up to 80 points (24 goals, 56 assists) on the season, marking the second straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone.

Sherwood scored a goal, registered an assist, put two shots on net, served two PIM and recorded two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

Sherwood recorded his second multi-point game in March by earning an assist in the first period and a goal in the second stanza. The 30-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, eight assists, 139 shots on net, 270 hits and 27 blocked shots across 56 games this season. After setting the single-season hit record a year ago, Sherwood is on track to finish in the league's top two in the category again this season. His offensive production of six points over his last eight games has been a nice bonus in fantasy, where he profiles as a solid player in most formats and an elite player in banger leagues.

Caufield scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Bruins.

With just 22 seconds left in the extra frame, Caufield redirected a Nick Suzuki pass past Jeremy Swayman and into the net. It was the 40th goal of the season for Caufield, marking the first time in his career that he has reached that plateau. He also became the first Montreal player to hit 40 since Vincent Damphousse did it in 1993-94. Caufield has been locked in since the Olympic break, collecting eight goals and 11 points. Given his current pace, 10 more goals in the Canadiens' final 15 contests to get to 50 doesn't seem impossible.

Regenda tallied a goal, fired four shots on net and dished out six hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

Regenda scored his first NHL goal since returning from the Olympics to cut the Sharks' deficit in half during the second period. Overall, the 26-year-old winger has nine goals, 10 points, 40 shots on net and 46 hits across 20 games for San Jose this season. While Regenda has cooled off after his hot start of six goals in five games, he still provides value in fantasy leagues that recognize banger stats.

Dobes stopped 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Pavel Zacha got pucks past him early in the first and second periods, but Dobes shut the door the rest of the way before Cole Caufield tipped home the winner in overtime. Dobes has allowed three goals or fewer in five of six starts since the Olympic break, going 4-2-0 over that stretch with a 2.83 GAA and .895 save percentage. He has been doing a solid job of staking his claim to the No. 1 role in the Montreal crease over Sam Montembeault and Jacob Fowler.

Orlov scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

Orlov has recorded only multi-point games this season. He potted the opening goal before sliding the lone helper on a marker by Kiefer Sherwood. The pair of points brought Orlov up to two goals, 26 assists, 65 shots on net, 101 hits and 65 blocked shots across 66 games this campaign. The 34-year-old blueliner has begun to find his groove offensively in March, as he's posted five points over his last eight games. The all-around blueliner holds solid fantasy value in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
