Cuylle scored three goals on six shots, added nine PIM and doled out four hits in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Cuylle had two of the Rangers' five goals in the second period and scored one more in the final minute of the game to earn his first hat trick. With this productive effort, he also secured his second straight 20-goal campaign. Cuylle has scored four times over his last three contests, offering quality offense from a middle-six role while also being an elite source of toughness. He's at 37 points, 153 shots on net, 278 hits, 59 PIM, 64 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 78 appearances this season.

Shesterkin stopped 20 of 21 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Shesterkin picked up his third win in four outings, and he didn't have to do a lot for this one. The Rangers' five-goal second period was the difference, allowing Shesterkin to cruise to the victory. He's up to 25-17-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 49 starts this season. While the Rangers are not in the playoff picture, Shesterkin seems likely to get a decent share of the starts to close out the season, as the team doesn't have a back-to-back left on the schedule.

Kaprizov tallied three goals, including the game-winning goal, and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Kaprizov played the hero in Sunday's contest with a pair of goals in the second period before tallying the game-winner with less than two minutes remaining in the third. With his first hat trick of the season, the 28-year-old winger is up to 43 goals, 87 points, 260 shots on net, 49 hits and 27 blocked shots across 75 games. His big night has him in a tie for third place with Edmonton's Connor McDavid on the NHL's goal leaderboard. While Kaprizov is unlikely to catch Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon or Montreal's Cole Caufield in pursuit of the Rocket Richard Trophy, Kaprizov has a chance to tie or surpass his current career high of 47 goals, which he totaled across 81 regular-season games during the 2021-22 season.

Hughes notched two assists, six shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Hughes has racked up three goals and six assists over the first three games of April. The 24-year-old has been excellent since the Olympics, earning 36 points over his last 20 outings, of which 11 have been multi-point performances. He's up to 72 points (25 tallies, 47 helpers), 210 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 56 appearances this season.

Glass scored a goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Glass has tallied twice over the last three games, matching his goal total from all of March. The 27-year-old center is up to 17 goals, 24 points, 99 shots on net, 40 hits, 37 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 65 appearances. This is his second-highest scoring season, behind only his 35-point campaign with Nashville in 2022-23.

Brown scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added 10 PIM and logged three hits in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Brown continued his consistent run of late with the empty-netter, giving him six goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. The 32-year-old winger hasn't had a multi-game drought in that span. For the season, he's up to the 40-point mark (17 goals, 23 assists) for the first time since 2019-20, when he had a career-best 43 points. He's added 108 shots on net, 25 hits, 34 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 70 appearances.

Boldy scored a goal, recorded a power-play assist, placed three shots on net and had two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Boldy tallied his just 18 seconds into the second period before later sliding the primary helper on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winning goal. With the pair of points, Boldy is up to 41 goals, 40 assists, 244 shots on net, 58 hits and 57 blocked shots across 73 games this season. The 25-year-old winger has surpassed 80 points in a season for the first time in his career. He offers a bright outlook in fantasy for years to come and remains a strong option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Meier scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Meier has surged late in the season with seven goals and four assists over his last 12 outings. The 29-year-old winger is up to 24 goals, 42 points, 256 shots on net, 127 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 72 appearances. Meier will look to keep adding to his totals late in the year, though he's unlikely to get back to the 50-point mark, which he'll miss for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign.

Markstrom posted an 18-save shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Markstrom had lost his last two outings while sitting out three of the Devils' previous four games. He rebounded well, though the Canadiens didn't generate many chances in this contest. This was just the second time in 10 outings Markstrom has been able to limit an opponent to two goals or fewer. It's his first shutout of the season to go with a 23-18-1 record, a 3.04 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 43 appearances. The Devils' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Flyers. Markstrom and Jake Allen may share the crease to close out the campaign since the Devils aren't in serious contention for a playoff spot.

Fowler stopped 17 of 19 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Devils. The third goal was an empty-netter.

The Canadiens weren't able to generate any goals in the second half of a back-to-back, leaving Fowler on the hook for the loss. The 21-year-old had won three straight games entering Sunday, allowing just six goals on 70 shots during the streak. Fowler is down to 8-6-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 16 starts. He and Jakub Dobes have been sharing the crease lately, so expect Dobes to get the nod Tuesday versus the Panthers.
