Joseph Woll G | TOR
Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Takes loss against Florida
Woll stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers. The last two goals were empty-netters.
With lineups resembling that of a preseason game, Woll was unable to get much help from his teammates. This was his fourth loss in a row (0-3-1), and he's allowed 19 goals on 118 shots in that span. Woll is now at 15-16-7 with a 3.34 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 39 appearances. It'll be tough sledding the rest of the way, as the Maple Leafs' home finale is Monday versus the Stars followed by Wednesday's season-ending matchup in Ottawa. It's possible Woll and Artur Akhtyamov will split those games, but neither goalie makes for an appealing streaming option at this time of year.

Marek Alscher D | FLA
Panthers' Marek Alscher: Earns first career assist
Alscher notched an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Alscher has been thrown right into the fire in a top-four role, filling in for the Panthers' numerous injuries on the blue line. It took him just two games to contribute his first point, an assist. The 22-year-old defenseman had just 11 points in 51 AHL outings with Charlotte prior to his call-up, but it's all hands on deck to fill out a lineup sheet for the Panthers right now. Alscher will likely need more development time in the AHL in 2026-27.

Vinnie Hinostroza C | FLA
Panthers' Vinnie Hinostroza: Chips in with helper
Hinostroza logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Hinostroza led the Panthers' forwards with 16:36 of ice time. That likely wasn't on anyone's bingo card for this season, as he's often filled a fourth-line role when in the lineup. The 32-year-old forward is up to five goals, 11 helpers, 63 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 63 appearances between the Panthers and the Wild. Hinostroza should remain in the lineup for the team's last two games this year.

Jordan Kyrou C | STL
Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Lights lamp on power play
Kyrou netted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
Kyrou's power-play tally midway through the second period gave the Blues their second lead of the game, which they would expand upon to secure Saturday's win. Overall, he now has 18 goals, 43 points, 167 shots on net and 26 blocked shots through 69 games this season. Despite taking a step back offensively this season, the 27-year-old winger has three goals and eight points over his last 11 outings.

Cole Reinhardt LW | FLA
Panthers' Cole Reinhardt: Tallies in Saturday's win
Reinhardt scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Reinhardt has still been a part-time player lately, even though injuries keep piling up for the Panthers. He's gotten on the scoresheet in each of his last three games, earning two goals and one assist. For the season, the 26-year-old has six goals, 11 points, 44 shots on net, 124 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 57 appearances between the Panthers and the Golden Knights.

A.J. Greer LW | FLA
Panthers' A.J. Greer: One of each Saturday
Greer scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Greer has gone from a fourth-line regular to one of the few healthy forwards who started the year in the NHL. The 29-year-old was on the top line Saturday and delivered his second multi-point outing in the last five games. He's enjoyed a career year of 16 goals, 31 points, 102 shots on net, 196 hits, 113 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 76 appearances. The extra opportunity comes at a good time for Greer, who is slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer and has shown he can score more when given a chance.
-
Tomas Nosek LW | FLA
Panthers' Tomas Nosek: Pots first two goals of season
Nosek scored twice and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Nosek hadn't scored in his first 19 games of the campaign. He changed that at 1:32 of the second period when he scored the game-winning tally, and he added an empty-netter late in the third. Since recovering from a knee injury, Nosek has four points, eight shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-8 rating over 20 appearances this season. He has been able to play regularly due to the Panthers' ever-growing list of injuries to other forwards late in the year.

Eetu Luostarinen C | FLA
Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen: Racks up three points in win
Luostarinen scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
As one of the Panthers' few regulars who hasn't joined the walking wounded, Luostarinen has been occupying a top-line role. He opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the game before assisting on goals by Mackie Samoskevich and A.J. Greer in the third period. Luostarinen has five points over his last three contests, giving him 11 goals, 32 points, 106 shots on net, 120 hits, 57 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 71 outings. Assuming the Panthers don't have lingering long-term issues for 2026-27, Luostarinen will likely revert to a defensively inclined middle-six role next season.

Alexei Toropchenko RW | STL
Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Finds twine Saturday
Toropchenko scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out four hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Toropchenko ended his 20-game goal drought Saturday to level the score at two apiece early in the second period. With the twine finder, he now has four goals, nine points, 66 shots on net, 126 hits and 55 blocked shots through 62 games this season. The 26-year-old winger has provided the Blues' bottom six with solid defensive stats this season.

Mackie Samoskevich RW | FLA
Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Produces three points in win
Samoskevich scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Samoskevich was listed as the top-line left wing, but he finished the game with a team-low 13:37 of ice time. The minutes were distributed fairly evenly, and two of his points came in the third period, so he should be fine moving forward. The 23-year-old is at three goals and two assists over six contests in April for a total of 30 points, 160 shots on net, 135 hits and a minus-7 rating across 75 appearances this season. He's worth some streaming consideration in fantasy since the Panthers play two more non-playoff opponents to end the campaign.
