Nugent-Hopkins scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Nugent-Hopkins has three goals over four contests in March. The 32-year-old is up to 17 tallies, 50 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 56 appearances this season. He's already surpassed his output of 49 points in 78 regular-season games from last year, and he should be able to push for the 20-goal and 60-point marks.

Jarry allowed one goal on 12 shots in relief of Connor Ingram (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Jarry came into the game late in the second period after Ingram was knocked from the game due to a collision. Jarry allowed a tip-in goal by Valeri Nichushkin but was otherwise strong to pick up his first win since Jan. 26 versus the Ducks. The 30-year-old Jarry is up to 16-8-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 28 appearances this season. If Ingram misses time, Jarry is poised to operate as the clear No. 1 netminder for the Oilers. Next up is a back-to-back with games in Dallas on Thursday and in St. Louis on Friday.

Kakko scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

Kakko has three goals over his last six games. The 25-year-old is still playing on the third line, but he's chipping in some depth scoring. The winger is up to nine goals, 24 points, 64 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-9 rating across 46 appearances this season.

Beniers scored a goal on three shots and added five PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

Beniers put the Kraken ahead 2-0 in the first period. In the third, he participated in his first NHL fight, dropping the mitts with Justin Barron after the Nashville defenseman cross-checked Jared McCann. Beniers doesn't have much of an edge, which typically limits his fantasy value since he has pedestrian offense for a center. He's at 17 goals, 40 points, 121 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 63 appearances.

Daccord stopped 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Daccord was spotted a 2-0 lead within 10 minutes, but he couldn't make it stick after the Predators' three-goal second period. The 29-year-old has started five of the Kraken's seven games since the Olympic break, but he's 2-3-0 with 16 goals allowed on 159 shots in that span. Daccord is 18-15-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 38 starts. If he can't consistently get better results, Phillip Grubauer will likely get a chance to try to lead the Kraken into the playoffs. The Kraken have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Avalanche on Thursday.

Svechkov notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Svechkov has two helpers over three games since he was called up to fill gaps created by Nashville's trades last week. The 22-year-old is filling a bottom-six role, but he should be able to stay in the lineup regularly down the stretch. He's earned 11 points, 57 shots on net, 44 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 52 appearances, down from his 17-point effort in 52 contests as a rookie last year.

Skjei notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Skjei helped out on Reid Schaefer's game-tying goal in the middle of the second period. The 31-year-old Skjei has two helpers over his last three contests, but he has gone 35 games without a goal. The blueliner is at 19 points, 91 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-9 rating through 64 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Marchessault logged two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

This was Marchessault's first multi-point effort since Feb. 4 versus the Wild. The 35-year-old winger had a hand in goals by Tyson Jost and Ryan Ufko in the second period as the Predators flipped a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead. Marchessault is up to 11 goals, 10 helpers, 101 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-18 rating over 45 appearances. He is virtually guaranteed to finish below the 50-point mark for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign.

Jost scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Jost ended a nine-game point drought with the tally, which was his first goal since Dec. 27. The 27-year-old forward is holding onto a fourth-line role for now, though he could get squeezed out of the lineup if the Predators call up additional prospects before the end of the campaign. Jost has managed nine points in 51 outings this season, matching his total from 39 regular-season contests with the Hurricanes in 2024-25. He's added 59 shots on net, 54 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-15 rating in 2025-26.

Askarov made 20 saves in a 6-3 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.

Honestly, there are few teams that have been able to stop the Buffalo herd, and the Sharks were outmatched at times. San Jose is one point behind the Seattle Kraken for the second wild-card spot in the West. Since Feb. 2, Askarov is 2-4-1 with 26 goals allowed (.869 save percentage). Overall, he continues to develop, putting up a 19-17-3 record with a 3.56 GAA and .886 save percentage.
