Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud: Extends multi-point streak
Snuggerud recorded a goal on eight shots while adding two assists, two PIM, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Snuggerud has recorded three straight multi-point performances, providing three goals and four assists. He has eight points (three goals, five assists), 21 shots, 11 hits and three blocked shots in seven outings since returning from the Olympic break.

Tkachuk pocketed two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Detroit.
Both helpers came in the final 90 seconds of the third period, as Tkachuk found Carter Verhaeghe for a pair of goals that erased a 3-2 deficit.

Joel Hofer G | STL
Blues' Joel Hofer: Tagged with OT defeat
Hofer stopped 45 of 49 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
The Blues jumped to a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but the Islanders rallied with four unanswered goals to hand Hofer the loss. Still, he has gone undefeated in regulation in his last five outings, going 4-0-1 with a superb 1.59 GAA and .948 save percentage over that stretch. He should remain an excellent fantasy option based on his hot play since the Olympic break.

Panthers' Vinnie Hinostroza: Two-point effort Tuesday
Hinostroza scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Making his first appearance for Florida since being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Hinostroza opened the scoring midway through the first period before having a hand in a Niko Mikkola tally early in the third. Hinostroza is making his second career stint as a Panther after suiting up in nine games with the club during the 2020-21 regular season. Through 49 games in 2025-26, he's managed just four goals and 12 points in a bottom-six role.

Barzal assisted on the Islanders' first and third goals, courtesy of Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Bo Horvat, before slotting home the game-winner with a wrister at the 2:11 mark in overtime.

Verhaeghe scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Detroit.
Both goals came in the final 90 seconds of the third period, as Verhaeghe flipped the script on what looked like it would be a 3-2 loss for Florida. The 30-year-old had managed only one goal and three points in 11 games before Tuesday's contest. On the season, Verhaeghe has 19 goals and 46 points in 63 appearances.

Daniil Tarasov G | FLA
Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Escapes with win Tuesday
Tarasov stopped 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
The 26-year-old netminder appeared to be heading for his 11th loss of the season, but instead he fell into his career-high ninth win when Carter Verhaeghe scored twice in the final 90 seconds of the third period. It was Tarasov's first victory since Jan. 25. He has given up at least three goals in four of his last five outings, a stretch in which he has stumbled to a 3.83 GAA and .879 save percentage.

Calum Ritchie C | NYI
Islanders' Calum Ritchie: Two points in OT win
Ritchie recorded a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Ritchie came through when the Isles needed him the most in the third period, tallying a goal (which was really an own goal awarded to him) and an assist over a 60-second span. This is also the start of a new point streak for Ritchie, who hadn't cracked the scoresheet in back-to-back games since a four-game point streak between Jan. 15 and Jan. 21.

Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Concedes three, earns win
Sorokin stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.
Sorokin has won six of his last seven starts, but it's worth noting that he has allowed three or more goals in five of those outings. Over that seven-game stretch, the 30-year-old netminder has posted a 2.85 GAA and a .901 save percentage while stopping 183 of 203 shots he has faced.
