Stamkos scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Stamkos' scoring surge continues -- he has seven goals over his last eight games. The 36-year-old forward is up to 38 tallies and 60 points through 76 contests this season, including 12 goals and 11 helpers with the man advantage. Stamkos has added 184 shots on net, 85 hits, 54 PIM and a minus-18 rating while seeing steady top-six minutes.

O'Reilly scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

O'Reilly's tally at 8:28 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The center also set up Tyson Jost's empty-netter to help secure the win. O'Reilly had gone six contests without a goal prior to Saturday, though he still had three assists in that span. The veteran center is at 25 tallies, 69 points, 144 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances. Hes a point away from reaching 70 for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign with the Blues, when he had a career-best 77 points in 82 regular-season outings.

Jost scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists, went plus-3 and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Jost earned all three points within the last 12 minutes of the game. His second helper was on a shorthanded tally by Erik Haula. This was a showcase of Jost's shutdown skills, though he usually doesn't chip in offense at this level. He's logged seven points and 26 shots on net over his last 13 contests. For the season, the 28-year-old forward has 15 points, 83 shots, 63 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 63 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Forsberg scored twice and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Forsberg's first goal and his assist came on the power play as the star winger set the tone early. He's logged multiple points in six of his last 10 games, earning nine goals and nine assists in that span. For the season, Forsberg has 37 goals, 71 points (24 on the power play), 231 shots on net, 120 hits and a minus-2 rating across 76 appearances. His multi-category contributions make him a near must-start in fantasy, especially with the Predators entering a four-game week.

Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Saros was spotted a 3-0 lead after one period, but he couldn't make that one stick. The Sharks rallied to tie the game early in the third period, but Saros locked down the net as the Predators bounced right back with another three unanswered goals. This was his fifth win in his last six outings, a span in which he's given up 19 goals on 190 shots. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 28-20-7 with a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 56 starts. The ratios matter far less than the victories for Saros and the Predators at this stage of the season, and he'll get the bulk of the starts in net as the team makes a final push to get into the playoffs. Nashville's road trip continues Monday with another huge matchup against the Kings, whom Saros defeated in a shootout Thursday.

Bouchard scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Bouchard has two goals and eight assists over his last seven outings. He broke up Carter Hart's shutout bid late in the second period, but the Oilers didn't carry any momentum into the third period. Bouchard continues to dazzle on offense this season with 21 goals, 88 points, 215 shots on net and a plus-23 rating over 77 appearances. He doesn't have much else to prove in the regular season, though the spotlight is always on his defensive work during the postseason.

Ingram stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

This was a big matchup for the Pacific Division standings, and Ingram wasn't at his best. The Golden Knights' first goals came at even strength. This ended his three-game winning streak, and it dropped the Oilers into a three-team competition for the top spot in the division, with Edmonton, Vegas and Anaheim all within a point of each other. Ingram is down to 14-9-2 with a 2.78 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 28 appearances. The Oilers have a back-to-back up next, visiting the Mammoth on Tuesday and the Sharks on Wednesday, which will likely lead to Ingram and Tristan Jarry splitting those starts.

Barbashev produced two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Barbashev has surged lately, earning three goals and eight assists over his last eight contests. He's added 17 shots on net and 17 hits during that span. The power winger is up to 22 goals, 36 helpers, six power-play points, 132 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 77 appearances this season. He needs two more points to match his career high from the 2021-22 campaign with the Blues, which he earned in 81 games.

Eichel logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Eichel has a goal and seven assists over his last five outings. The 29-year-old had a hand in goals by Brett Howden, Jeremy Lauzon and Mark Stone in this contest. Eichel is up to 82 points (25 goals, 57 helpers), 242 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-15 rating over 69 appearances this season. He continues to play well in a top-line role and has now reached the 80-point mark for the second regular season in a row and the third time in his career.

Sissons scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Sissons ended a 10-game goal drought Saturday, and his tally stood as the game-winner. He had just one assist during that slump. The 32-year-old is filling a bottom-six role, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as much of a surprise. He's earned just six goals with five assists, 70 shots on net, 85 hits, 44 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 61 appearances in his first year with the Golden Knights.
