  • Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: First off Tuesday

    Nedeljkovic is expected to patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Tuesday after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Nedeljkovic has won his last two outings while stopping 64 of the 68 shots he has faced. He has a 13-9-3 record this campaign with a 2.77 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 29 appearances. Edmonton is tied for second in the league with 3.40 goals per game this season, but the team will be without the services of Leon Draisaitl (lower body) for Tuesday's matchup.

  • Connor Dewar C | PIT

    Penguins' Connor Dewar: Provides pair of helpers

    Dewar logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Dewar picked up his first multi-point effort since Jan. 31 versus the Rangers. The 26-year-old forward continues to center the fourth line, providing defensive stability and a decent share of depth offense this year. He's got career highs across the board with 14 goals, 13 helpers, 100 shots on net, 130 hits and a plus-12 rating through 67 appearances.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Set for extended absence

    Lizotte (upper body) will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

    Lizotte sat out Monday's 7-2 win over Colorado and is now in danger of missing the rest of the regular season. The Penguins conclude their 82-game schedule in St. Louis on April 14, which is exactly four weeks from now. The 28-year-old has accounted for seven goals, 19 points and a plus-6 rating over 55 appearances this season.

  • Anthony Mantha RW | PIT

    Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Deposits goal in blowout win

    Mantha scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Mantha has five goals and two assists during his five-game point streak. The 31-year-old winger is rolling on a line with Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust for now, though Mantha could be the one to lose his spot with that trio once Sidney Crosby (lower body) comes off injured reserve. For the season, Mantha has been excellent with 26 goals, 52 points, 125 shots on net, 42 hits, 34 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 67 appearances.

  • Penguins' Elmer Soderblom: First two points for new team

    Soderblom scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Soderblom had gone four games without a point to start his Pittsburgh tenure following a trade from Detroit. The 24-year-old has mostly been limited to a fourth-line role, and the return of Evgeni Malkin from a suspension cost Soderblom his power-play minutes Monday. Over 44 outings in total this season, he has five points, 52 shots on net, 69 hits and a minus-4 rating, so he's unlikely to emerge as a strong fantasy option down the stretch.

  • Noel Acciari C | PIT

    Penguins' Noel Acciari: One of each in win

    Acciari scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Acciari has scored three times over his last four games. The 34-year-old continues to fill a fourth-line role, though his defensive responsibilities give him a boost in ice time. For the season, the veteran forward has nine goals, 19 points, 71 shots on net, 55 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 53 appearances.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Three-point game in win

    Karlsson scored a goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Karlsson picked up his fourth multi-point effort over the last five games. The 35-year-old has three goals and 10 assists over nine contests in March as he tries to lead the Penguins' push for a playoff spot. Karlsson is up to seven goals, 49 points, 140 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating across 62 appearances.

  • Arttu Hyry RW | DAL

    Stars' Arttu Hyry: Gets first point of season

    Hyry notched an assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

    This was Hyry's first point in eight games for Dallas, all of which have come since the Olympic break. The 24-year-old is filling a fourth-line role in the absence of Radek Faksa (lower body), who isn't expected back until the last week of the regular season. Hyry has added 10 shots on net and 12 hits, but without more offense, he's not a fantasy option.

  • Tyler Myers D | DAL

    Stars' Tyler Myers: First helper with new team

    Myers notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

    Myers helped out on Adam Erne's tally late in the third period. This was Myers' first point in five games with the Stars. He's taken on a third-pairing role with his new team, adding a plus-1 rating, nine shots on net, seven hits and nine blocks. Overall, Myers has nine points, 80 shots, 100 blocks, 72 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-24 rating over 62 appearances between Dallas and Vancouver this year.

  • Adam Erne LW | DAL

    Stars' Adam Erne: Scores late in loss

    Erne scored a goal and added five PIM in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

    Erne's tally came just before the final buzzer. The 30-year-old is maintaining a fairly regular role on the Stars' fourth line, but it's not a spot that comes with much upside on offense. Erne has five goals, one assist, 33 shots on net, 109 hits and 15 PIM over 33 outings this season. He'll likely be a healthy scratch once the Stars get some injured forwards back, though that isn't imminent.
