Sundqvist posted an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Sundqvist has been out of the lineup more often than not lately -- this was just his second appearance in the Blues' last 12 games. The 32-year-old has given way to some younger players as the Blues evaluate their options for 2026-27. Sundqvist has managed 16 points, 36 shots on net, 65 hits, 26 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 51 appearances. He is set to be the Blues' lone unrestricted free agent forward this summer.

Buchnevich put up an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Buchnevich ended a four-game point drought, a span that included him sitting once for maintenance purposes. The 30-year-old forward is at 17 goals, 28 assists, 137 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 78 appearances. The Blues are officially out of playoff contention, so if Buchnevich is bothered by anything the rest of the way, he may sit out again. He will end 2025-26 with his lowest-scoring campaign in his time with the Blues.

Misa logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Misa has slumped late in the season. He's gone 14 games without a goal, picking up two assists, 12 shots on net and a minus-7 rating in that span. The 19-year-old center is at 18 points, 49 shots, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 42 appearances this season. Misa has a bright future, but he'll have plenty of homework to do over the summer to prepare for his second NHL campaign.

Celebrini notched two assists, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Celebrini reached the 110-point mark with the effort. It looks like he'll finish just off the podium in the Art Ross Trophy race this season -- he's in fourth place, trailing Nathan MacKinnon by 16 points for third while holding an 11-point advantage over four players directly behind him. Celebrini's performance as a 19-year-old can't be overstated, as he's already achieved elite status with 42 goals, 68 helpers, 279 shots on net, 52 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 79 appearances.

Toffoli scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Toffoli's tally put the Sharks ahead 2-1 in the middle of the second period. The 33-year-old winger has gone 11 games without a goal entering Saturday, picking up 20 shots on net and four assists in that span. He continues to fill a middle-six role as he has for much of the year. Toffoli's at 19 goals, 49 points, 171 shots on net, 48 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 77 appearances. If he can add one more point over the last three games, Toffoli will reach the 50-point mark for the fourth year in a row, a threshold he reached just once in his first 10 NHL campaigns.

Chernyshov scored two goals on four shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Chernyshov was a healthy scratch Thursday versus the Ducks, but he got back into the lineup and snapped a five-game point drought with a big performance. The 20-year-old's talent is obvious, but there are some details to his game that still need work. That said, a spot alongside Macklin Celebrini on the top line is enticing for any fantasy manager looking for a boost of offense. Chernyshov is up to seven goals, 16 points, 41 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 25 appearances in his rookie year.

Askarov stopped 38 of 41 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Askarov has lost his last three outings (0-2-1), but this was a capable performance. The goalie has given up at least three goals in five straight appearances, and those struggles have all but cost the Sharks a chance at a playoff spot. Askarov is down to 21-19-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 46 contests in his first full NHL campaign. There's a lot to like with him in the long run, especially if the Sharks can make some much-needed defensive improvements. They'll close out this season on the road with three games in four days, beginning Monday in Nashville.

Blueger scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

Blueger has turned up the heat in April with three goals and three assists over six games. He was on the ice in preparation for the end of a Canucks power play when he cashed in at 17:00 of the third period. The 31-year-old center typically plays a mostly defensive role in the bottom six. He's earned nine goals, 17 points, 50 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-9 rating over 32 appearances this season. Blueger last finished a season averaging more than 0.5 points per game in 2020-21 when he had 22 points in 43 contests for the Penguins.

Rossi scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

Rossi has two goals over his last four games after previously going eight contests without scoring. The 24-year-old center had a good stretch in the middle of March but has since cooled off despite retaining a top-six role. For the season, he's at 11 goals, 32 points, 62 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-25 rating over 47 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on eight shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

DeBrusk netted his fourth power-play goal in the last six games. The winger has had a challenging season at times, but he still got to the 20-goal mark with this tally, with 17 of those snipes coming with a manpower advantage. He's at 39 points, 209 shots on net, 65 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-33 rating over 78 appearances on the year.
