Kelly scored twice, added two hits, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

This was Kelly's second multi-point effort in the last five games. The 26-year-old center is up to 15 goals, 25 points, 79 shots on net, 131 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 60 appearances this season. It's already a career year for Kelly, who still has time to push for the 20-goal and 30-point thresholds while seeing steady time in the bottom six.

Wedgewood allowed one goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Wedgewood has won both of his outings since the Olympic break, stopping 55 of 58 shots in those games. The 33-year-old limited the Ducks to a Cutter Gauthier tally in the second period of this contest. Wedgewood is up to 22-4-5 with a 2.25 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 33 outings this season. Despite his continued strong play, he looks to be in the backup role behind Mackenzie Blackwood, who has been just as good. The Avalanche have a huge matchup ahead when they visit the Stars on Friday.

Kucherov scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.

Kucherov's 12-game point streak ended versus the Sabres on Saturday. In this contest, he was the only Tampa Bay skater to solve Filip Gustavsson and the Wild's defense. Kucherov is up to 32 goals, 96 points, 165 shots on net and a plus-31 rating over 55 appearances. Even at 32 years old, he's still one of the best wingers in the league and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Vasilevskiy stopped 17 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Wild. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

The Lightning didn't offer much help here, sending Vasilevskiy to a second straight loss to follow his nine-game winning streak. He's allowed nine goals on 35 shots over his last two outings. He's now at a 28-9-3 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 40 starts. Vasilevskiy is too good to let these struggles last much longer, and the losses have come against the Sabres and Wild, so it's not like he's getting beaten by bad teams. The Lightning's road trip continues Thursday in Winnipeg.

Boldy notched three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Boldy had a helper in each frame. The winger can't be stopped right now -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in his last 11 contests, earning eight goals and 14 assists in that span. He also has at least one power-play point in six straight outings. For the season, Boldy is up to 35 goals, 37 helpers, 24 power-play points, 194 shots on net and a plus-18 rating over 58 appearances. He's two points away from setting a new career high to surpass his 73-point output from the 2024-25 regular season.

Trenin scored a goal on four shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Trenin put the Wild ahead 3-1 late in the second period, quickly responding to Nikita Kucherov's goal for the Lightning. The 29-year-old Trenin has three goals and an assist over his last nine outings. The forward is at six goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 306 hits, 31 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 62 appearances. It's already a career year in hits for Trenin, and he's poised to top the 20-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Kaprizov scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Kaprizov's goal was the 220th of his career, all coming with the Wild, which is good for the franchise record for goals. He surpassed Marian Gaborik's total of 219, which he earned in 502 games -- it took Kaprizov just 381 contests to set the record. At just 28 years old, there are still plenty of good years for Kaprizov to add to his total. He's scored in three straight games and is up to 35 tallies, 75 points, 218 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Faber scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Faber made an early impact with his goal at 3:46 of the first period, and he set up a Kirill Kaprizov empty-netter in the third as well. This was Faber's first multi-point effort since Jan. 31 versus the Oilers. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 14 goals, 40 points, 133 shots on net, 121 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating over 62 appearances. At his current pace, he has a good chance to reach the 50-point mark in just his third NHL campaign, cementing his status within the upper tiers of blueliners.

Zuccarello scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Both of Zuccarello's points came in the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. He has three goals and four helpers over his last seven contests, earning four of those points with the man advantage. The veteran winger is up to 11 goals, 37 points (15 on the power play), 83 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Hughes scored a goal on four shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

Over his last 14 outings, Hughes has three goals and 19 helpers, with 10 of those assists coming on the power play. He's up to six goals, 61 points (28 on the power play), 155 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 56 appearances between the Wild and the Canucks this season.
