  • Golden Knights' Alexander Holtz: Trio of assists in win

    Holtz logged three assists in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.

    Holtz has four helpers over three contests since he joined the Silver Knights after passing through waivers Friday. The 24-year-old is eligible for the AHL playoffs with that move, but he'll also be organizational depth for the big club should any injuries take out a forward. Holtz had nine points in 28 games with the Golden Knights prior to his demotion.

  • Golden Knights' Raphael Lavoie: Hat trick for Henderson

    Lavoie scored three goals in AHL Henderson's 7-6 overtime win over Tucson on Wednesday.

    Lavoie has seven goals and two assists over his last seven AHL outings. The 25-year-old forward is up to 29 points in just 28 contests this season, surpassing his point total from 42 regular-season appearances last year. He's yet to record his first NHL point, though he's drawn into just one contest for Vegas this season.

  • Tim Stutzle LW | OTT

    Senators' Tim Stutzle: Point streak up to 14 games

    Stutzle logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    This effort extended Stutzle's point streak to 14 games. In that span, he's earned eight goals and 11 assists, including six power-play points. The 24-year-old center has reached the 70-point mark for the fourth year in a row with 30 goals and 40 helpers in 64 appearances. He's added 157 shots on net, 98 hits, 40 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-7 rating.

  • Senators' Drake Batherson: Scores both goals in loss

    Batherson scored two goals on four shots, added two PIM and levied six hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    Batherson's goals came 1:59 apart in the first period, with the first one being a power-play tally. He has six goals and two helpers over his last six contests while continuing to offer both scoring and physical play from a top-six role. For the season, the winger is at 25 goals, 57 points (21 on the power play), 134 shots on net, 93 hits and a minus-3 rating across 61 appearances.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Falls to Montreal

    Ullmark stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    He allowed a goal in each period. Ullmark hadn't taken a regulation loss in his last 13 appearances, going 9-0-3 in that span. He's now at a 19-9-7 record with a 2.85 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 36 starts this season. Ullmark's save percentage is unusually low, but he's just a win away from reaching 20 for the fifth year in a row, so he's still a decent No. 2 goalie in most fantasy formats.

  • Canadiens' Alexandre Texier: Checks in, scores goal

    Texier scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

    Texier had been a healthy scratch for the last five games before jumping into the lineup for Cole Caufield (illness). The 26-year-old Texier took a top-line spot and made the most of it with a tally at 17:29 of the second period. Texier is up to eight goals, 20 points, 61 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-10 rating over 40 appearances between the Canadiens and Blues this season. He's not a guarantee to be in the lineup, but he has produced fairly well when given the chance.

  • Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Nets early power-play tally

    Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

    Slafkovsky has three goals and four assists over five contests in March. The 21-year-old has earned three of those seven points on the power play, including his opening goal just 1:16 into this game. He's up to 24 goals, 53 points (21 on the power play), 133 shots on net, 86 hits, 61 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 64 outings this season. He continues to offer strong all-around performances from a top-line role.

  • Ivan Demidov RW | MON

    Canadiens' Ivan Demidov: One of each in win

    Demidov scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

    Demidov's third-period tally was the game-winner. The 20-year-old winger saw just 12:50 of ice time -- it's the third time in six games he's been under the 13-minute mark, though he is still listed on the Canadiens' second line. Demidov has 14 goals, 51 points, 94 shots on net, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 64 appearances this season.

  • Jacob Fowler G | MON

    Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Defeats Senators

    Fowler stopped 32 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

    Fowler made his first NHL appearance since Jan. 15 and delivered a good performance. He allowed a pair of goals to Drake Batherson late in the first period but didn't bend again, allowing the Canadiens to pull off the comeback win. Fowler improved to 5-4-2 with a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage over his first 11 NHL contests. The 21-year-old could be in the mix for another start over the weekend if he stays on the Montreal roster -- he'd either face the Sharks on Saturday or the Ducks on Sunday in that case, though Jakub Dobes and Sam Montembeault are also in the mix.

  • Ryan Leonard RW | WAS

    Capitals' Ryan Leonard: Nets power-play goal

    Leonard scored a power-play goal on two shots, added four hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.

    Leonard has three goals and an assist during his four-game point streak to start March. The 21-year-old winger is looking a bit more comfortable this month after going 14 games in which he had just a single assist between Jan. 17 and Feb. 28. The rookie has 13 goals, 21 assists, 11 power-play points, 116 shots on net, 88 hits and a minus-1 rating through 59 appearances.
