Zacha scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal.

The 28-year-old center gave Boston a pair of one-goal leads early in the first and second periods, but it was all the offense the visitors could muster. Zacha has been on a tear in March, racking up seven goals and 11 points in nine games to carry him to a career-high 22 goals on the season. He sits one point shy of his third career 50-point campaign.

Swayman made 28 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

The Bruins took one-goal leads early in the first and second periods, but Swayman gave up an equalizer before intermission each time. Boston's offense also went cold the rest of the way. The 27-year-old netminder is still having a strong run since returning from the Olympis, going 4-2-1 over his last seven starts with a 1.97 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Henrique recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Henrique picked up the lone helper on Vasily Podkolzin's goal in the first period before earning another primary assist on Max Jones' game-winning goal. Overall, Henrique has 10 assists, 12 points, 74 shots on net and 62 blocked shots across 52 games this season. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Henrique stepped up in a more offensive role Tuesday, opposed to his usual defensive style. While the 36-year-old forward will likely stay in the bottom six, he could see an uptick in production if his first game since Draisaitl's absence is an indicator of what's to come.

Thompson will be between the pipes at home against the Senators on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Thompson has managed just one win in his last five outings despite a decent 2.61 GAA over that stretch. His current 2.42 GAA this season would mark a career best for the Calgary native. Thompson also has a 22-19-5 record and a .912 save percentage through 46 appearances this season.

Hyman tallied a goal, placed three shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.

Hyman sealed the deal for the Oilers with his goal just minutes after Max Jones' go-ahead tally. With the twine finder, Hyman now has 29 goals, 46 points, 150 shots on net and 39 hits across 50 games this season. The 33-year-old winger has been an effective goal scorer since the Olympic break with seven goals, 10 points and 31 shots on net over Edmonton's last 11 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, Hyman will likely shoulder more offensive responsibilities down the stretch.

Jones scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Jones scored near the start of the third period, giving Edmonton a 4-3 lead, and it held up as the game-winner. The twine finder was his second of the season and second in his last four NHL games. Overall, he has three points, 16 shots on net and 27 hits across 10 games. He's compiled all of his stats without exceeding 10 minutes of ice time in a game this season. Jones has been an effective player when given the opportunity at the NHL level, but his fantasy value is minimal due to his limited playing time.

Podkolzin scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.

Podkolzin scored the third goal in under five minutes for the Oilers, who built up a 3-1 lead by the end of the opening period. With Tuesday's twine finder, he has 16 goals, 31 points, 113 shots on net, 209 hits and 36 blocked shots across 69 games this season. The 24-year-old winger has been solid offensively over his last 13 games with four goals and eight points. He profiles as a strong fantasy option in deep leagues that place a premium on banger stats due to his 209 hits, which place him ninth in the NHL.

Murphy tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Murphy gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead midway through the first period. The goal was his first since being acquired from the Blackhawks ahead of the trade deadline. Overall, he now has five goals, 14 points, 60 shots on net, 71 hits and 106 blocked shots across 67 games between Chicago and Edmonton this season. While the goal was his first offensive contribution for Edmonton across seven games, he's posted solid numbers in the defensive zone with 19 blocked shots. As a part of Edmonton's second defensive pairing, Murphy holds decent fantasy value in deep leagues that value banger stats.

Quick is slated to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Quick has a 5-15-2 record, 3.05 GAA and .892 save percentage in 22 outings during the 2025-26 season. He earned a 21-save shutout in a 4-0 win over Calgary on March 10 in his last start. New Jersey has been successful in its past eight games, posting a 6-2-0 record while averaging 3.88 goals per outing.

Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.

Within minutes of San Jose's opening goal, Nugent-Hopkins responded with an equalizer, which he scored on a power play. Overall, the 32-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, 51 points, 106 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 59 games this season. Since the Olympic break, he's been solid offensively with five goals and six points over 10 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Nugent-Hopkins will likely be relied upon for offensive production both at even strength and on the power play. He holds solid fantasy value with a high ceiling for the remainder of the regular season.
