Greaves stopped 18 of 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Flyers.
Greaves was making his first start since a 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings on March 9, and he bounced back with one of his best performances of the season Saturday. Greaves has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four starts, a stretch in which he has posted a 2.51 GAA with a .901 save percentage while also notching a 3-0-1 record.

Blue Jackets' Kirill Marchenko: Pots another goal
Marchenko scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Flyers.
Marchenko has found the back of the net in three of the Blue Jackets' last four games, and the 25-year-old winger continues to find ways to crack the scoresheet while holding a steady top-line role. The Russian winger has cracked the scoresheet in eight of his last 10 games, tallying 11 points (six goals, five assists) and a minus-1 rating in that span.

Capitals' David Kampf: Awaiting birth of second child
Kampf has returned home to Vancouver to be with his wife while they await the birth of their second child, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports Sunday.
Kampf hasn't suited up with the Capitals since being acquired due to issues with getting his work visa, and now he has another reason to miss some time with him and his wife expecting their second child soon. The 31-year-old has two goals and four assists in 38 games on the season. The Capitals have some time off and don't play again until Wednesday against the Senators.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Tending twine Sunday
Fowler will protect the home net against the Ducks on Sunday.
Fowler will get the second half of the Canadiens' back-to-back after Jakub Dobes played in Saturday's 4-2 loss to San Jose. The 21-year-old Fowler is coming off a 32-save performance in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Ottawa. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 11 NHL appearances this season. Anaheim sits 13th in the league with 3.20 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Jakub Dobes G | MON
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Beaten three times Saturday
Dobes stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Dobes did what he could to keep the Canadiens in the game, but the Sharks closed out the scoring with an empty-netter right when Montreal was pushing hard to score an equalizer. Dobes has allowed three or fewer goals in four of his five starts since the Olympic break, a span in which he has gone 3-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and an .887 save percentage. Those are far from enticing numbers, but he also has three games with a save percentage of at least .920 in that span, so not all of his performances have been subpar. His numbers are dragged down by a March 3 loss to the Sharks during which he allowed six goals on 27 shots.

Nick Suzuki C | MON
Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Pots goal vs. Sharks
Suzuki scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
Suzuki found the back of the net in the second period with a snap shot, giving him 22 goals on the season. The star playmaker has been one of Montreal's best players since the Olympic break, notching 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in eight appearances. On the season, Suzuki is up to 76 points (22 goals, 54 assists), and if he stays healthy, he's on pace to surpass the career-best 89 points he delivered across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Cole Caufield RW | MON
Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Scores in loss to San Jose
Caufield scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
Caufield snapped a two-game goal drought with his first-period goal, and he continues to produce for Montreal, tallying points in five of his seven appearances since the Olympic break. Caufield currently leads the Canadiens in goals with 38 and is on the verge of posting a new career-best mark in points. He has 65 points (38 goals, 27 helpers) in 64 appearances this season, and is rapidly approaching his 70 points (37 goals, 33 assists) in 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Alex Nedeljkovic G | SJ
Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Gives up two goals Saturday
Nedeljkovic stopped 25 of 27 shots faced in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Nedeljkovic has won his last two starts and three of his last four, but the thing that stands out the most is that he's been doing an excellent job of protecting the Sharks' crease regardless of the win-loss record. He has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last nine appearances, a streak in which he owns a 2.00 GAA and a .931 save percentage while going 6-1-1.
-
Collin Graf RW | SJ
Sharks' Collin Graf: Three points in win
Graf recorded a goal and two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Graf has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, a feat he hadn't achieved since doing so in three straight contests in mid-January. Graf has been productive in his middle-six role in the lineup, putting up eight points (three goals, five assists) in seven appearances since the beginning of March. The Sharks have won four of seven games in that stretch, so Graf remains a decent fantasy option to keep close tabs on if you haven't already added him to your roster.

Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Point streak reaches eight games
Celebrini recorded two goals and an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Celebrini has found the back of the net in five of the Sharks' last six games, and while this was just his second multi-point performance during his ongoing eight-game point streak, the star playmaker remains a massive influence on offense for the Sharks. Celebrini has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) with 35 shots, six hits and 10 blocked shots in nine appearances since the Olympic break.
