Kreider logged two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Kreider is now 10 games removed from his last goal, supplying six helpers over that span. The 34-year-old winger isn't a leader on offense, but he's chipped in his fair share in a top-six role throughout this campaign. He's at 22 goals, 28 helpers, 138 shots on net, 67 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 74 appearances. Kreider has now reached the 50-point mark in four of the last five seasons.

Carlsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Carlsson's tally at 6:56 of the third period tied the game at 3-3 and forced overtime. The 21-year-old center has five goals over his last seven outings, but he hasn't chipped in an assist in that span. For the season, he's impressed with 29 goals, 66 points, 180 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 68 appearances. His offense won't keep growing by big chunks year over year, but Carlsson is still young enough to find another level or two before his prime years.

Gauthier scored two goals on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Gauthier's second goal -- his 40th tally of the season -- came on the power play in the third period and sparked a comeback after Brock Boeser's shorthanded goal put the Canucks up 3-1. The 22-year-old Gauthier missed the previous five games due to an upper-body injury and was limited to 13:47 of ice time in this contest. He's had an impressive breakout year with 40 goals, 67 points, 275 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-2 rating across 74 appearances. If the Ducks are to make a run in the postseason, Gauthier will likely play a big part in leading their offense.

Dostal allowed four goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

This wasn't exactly a great performance for the 25-year-old, though two of the goals against came on Vancouver power plays. Dostal has dropped five of his last six games (1-4-1), allowing at least three goals in each defeat in that span. For the season, he's down to 30-19-4 with a 3.10 GAA and an .889 save percentage over a career-high 55 appearances. The Ducks haven't yet secured their playoff spot, so Dostal seems likely to get the nod Tuesday in Minnesota.

Kudryavtsev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Kudryavtsev was making his first NHL appearance in nearly a year after getting into two games late in 2024-25. The 22-year-old could be on a similar path this year as the Canucks get a late look at him this season. Prior to his call-up Saturday, he produced 18 points in 42 AHL contests for Abbotsford. He spent a little time on the NHL roster in October and November but didn't get into a game.

Douglas scored a goal, added five PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

This was his first NHL goal. Douglas has filled a part-time role for the Canucks since they claimed him off waivers from the Lightning on March 6. The 26-year-old Douglas went 11 contests without a point for his new team before scoring at 10:49 of the first period Sunday. Douglas is up to three points, 19 shots on net, 61 hits, 108 PIM and a minus-4 rating across 41 appearances in his first NHL campaign, mainly serving as a fourth-line enforcer.

Rossi scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Rossi set up a Jake DeBrusk tally in the first period, and DeBrusk returned the favor at 4:50 of overtime on Rossi's game-winning goal. With three goals and three assists over seven outings in April, Rossi has done well to finish the year strong. He's at a total of 12 goals, 34 points (14 on the power play), 64 shots on net and a minus-25 rating across 48 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild this season. Rossi is set to finish the year in a top-six role, and he could be worth a look in fantasy in 2026-27 if that's where he opens the next campaign.

DeBrusk scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

DeBrusk picked up his first multi-point effort since March 6 versus the Blackhawks. The 29-year-old crossed the 40-point mark for the fifth year in a row and the seventh time in nine NHL campaigns with this performance, which has been fueled by incredible power-play efficiency. He's at 21 goals and 20 assists through 79 appearances, including 18 goals and six helpers with the man advantage. DeBrusk is fourth in the league for power-play tallies and the only player within the top 10 to have scored fewer than 30 goals overall.

Boeser scored a shorthanded goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Boeser had gone five games without a goal before cashing in on a shorthanded tally at 4:28 of the third period. The 29-year-old winger also helped out on Marco Rossi's game-winning goal 4:50 into overtime. Boeser isn't usually a big factor on the penalty kill -- his goal Sunday was his first shorthanded point since the 2021-22 campaign. He's at 22 goals, 47 points, 163 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-46 rating over 73 appearances this season.

Tolopilo stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Tolopilo ended a six-game losing streak with this performance. The 26-year-old still had some trouble against the Ducks' top forwards, with Cutter Gauthier scoring twice and Leo Carlsson adding the other goal. Tolopilo is now up to 6-11-2 with a 3.61 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 21 appearances this season. The Canucks have two games left on the schedule -- Tuesday at home versus the Kings and Thursday in Edmonton. Despite the win Sunday, Tolopilo is nothing more than a desperation option for fantasy managers in those last two games, should he get the start in either game.
