Minten scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Minten snapped a nine-game slump with the tally, which got the Bruins on the board in the third period. The 21-year-old has had a decent amount of success as the third-line center this season, but there are still some ups and downs with his offense. He's up to 15 goals, 30 points, 88 shots on net, 116 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating across 65 outings.

Shepard and Jake Chiasson were acquired by Montreal from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Riley Kidney.

Shepard has a 3.65 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 15 outings with AHL Belleville in 2025-26. He also has a 2-3-1 record, 3.88 GAA and .863 save percentage in six career regular-season NHL appearances. This move occurred after the NHL trade deadline, so Shepard isn't eligible to play for Montreal for the remainder of 2025-26, including the playoffs.

Graf scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.

Graf has two goals and three assists over six outings in March. This tally was likely a little more special for the Massachusetts native, as it came against his childhood team. The 23-year-old has racked up 17 goals, 36 points (three shorthanded, one on the power play), 86 shots on net, 68 hits and 42 blocked shots over 62 outings this season, his first full NHL campaign.

Carrick scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Carrick is already proving valuable for the Sabres with two goals, six shots, eight hits and four blocked shots over his first four games with the team. His offense probably won't hold up over time, but it's his defensive skills that made him a trade target to begin with. The 34-year-old is at six goals, 12 points, 62 shots on net, 94 hits, 33 blocked shots and 58 PIM across 64 appearances between the Sabres and the Rangers this season.

Leonard scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.

Leonard's point streak is at five games (four goals, one assist), and he's scored in three straight contests. The 21-year-old is still playing on the third line and second power-play unit, but his confidence is rising late in the season. That's encouraging to see after his struggles in late January and February. Leonard has 14 goals, 35 points, 117 shots on net, 89 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 60 appearances this season.

Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Fantilli has stepped up since the Olympic break, earning six goals and four assists over his last nine outings. Just one of those points has come on the power play, but he's playing on the top unit and should find success in that situation eventually. He's up to 19 goals, 46 points, 171 shots on net, 105 hits, 41 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-10 rating across 65 appearances this season.

Benning logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Benning helped out on Sam Reinhart's game-winning tally in overtime. This was Benning's NHL debut, and he was able to be a contributor right away. He should continue to get a look in a power-play spot while the Panthers await the returns of Uvis Balinskis (undisclosed) and Seth Jones (upper body).

Bennett scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Bennett has five goals and three assists over eight contests since the Olympics. The 29-year-old has earned half of those eight points on the power play as he continues to be heavily involved in the Panthers' offense. Bennett has reached the 50-point mark for the second year in a row, standing at 24 goals, 26 helpers, 13 power-play points, 170 shots on net, 109 hits and 74 PIM through 65 appearances.

Brink (upper body) is feeling better, but it's unclear if he will play Saturday versus the Rangers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Brink has a goal in three games since being traded to the Wild from the Flyers on Mar. 6. He has 14 goals, 13 assists and 68 hits in 58 appearances between Philadelphia and Minnesota this season.

Wallstedt is expected to feature in the crease for Sunday's home clash with Toronto, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt will get the nod Sunday after Filip Gustavsson goes against the Rangers at home Saturday. The 23-year-old Wallstedt is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-1-2 record, 2.85 GAA and .910 save percentage.
