  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Concedes seven goals Thursday

    Jarry stopped 20 of 27 shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Stars.

    Thursday's game was not Jarry's day, as he allowed three goals in the first period before surrendering a pair of goals in each of the final two stanzas. With the loss, he now has a 16-9-2 record, a 3.39 GAA and an .883 save percentage across 29 outings between Pittsburgh and Edmonton this season. Since the Olympic break, Jarry has struggled with a 1-2-0 record, a 5.81 GAA and an .811 save percentage across four games. Even though he plays behind one of the league's best offenses, Jarry is hard to trust in fantasy for the time being and should only be rostered as an upside play in deep leagues. Connor Ingram will likely start the second half of Edmonton's back-to-back in Friday's clash against the Blues before Jarry will have a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Predators.

    Ducks' Radko Gudas: Facing suspension

    Gudas will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for his knee-on-knee hit on Toronto's Auston Matthews on Thursday.

    Gudas is expected to receive at least one game and likely longer, as this is not his first time in front of the department. Matthews was helped off the ice in the second period and did not return. Gudas has two goals, 11 assists, 156 hits, 83 blocked shots and 45 PIM over 52 games this season. The Ducks may need to call up a defenseman for their pair of weekend games if Gudas is unavailable and John Carlson (lower body) is not ready to return to action.

  • Jesper Bratt LW | NJ

    Devils' Jesper Bratt: Reaches 50-point mark Thursday

    Bratt recorded two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Calgary.

    Bratt recorded the primary helper on each of New Jersey's last two goals Thursday, with each one scored by a different Hughes brother. The pair of apples brought Bratt up to 36 assists, 50 points, 147 shots on net, 60 hits and 22 blocked shots across 65 games this season. While the 2025-26 campaign has been a down year for the 27-year-old winger, he reached the half-century mark in points Thursday, securing 50 or more in each of the past five seasons. He'll likely remain heavily involved for New Jersey down the stretch, regardless of whether they make a push for a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division, giving him solid value in fantasy for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Luke Hughes D | NJ

    Devils' Luke Hughes: Grabs two power-play points

    Hughes tallied a power-play goal, recorded a power-play assist and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    Hughes picked up the primary helper on Simon Nemec's power-play goal in the second period before later scoring with just four seconds remaining in the contest. Overall, Hughes is up to six goals, 25 assists, 126 shots on net and 44 blocked shots through 55 games this season. Since the Olympic break, the 22-year-old blueliner has taken a step up with four assists, five points and 22 shots on net across six games. With his recent success with the man advantage, he should continue to quarterback New Jersey's power play moving forward, giving him solid fantasy value in most standard formats.

  • Jack Hughes C | NJ

    Devils' Jack Hughes: One of each in loss

    Hughes scored a goal on five shots and supplied a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Calgary.

    Hughes scored his goal near the midway point in Thursday's third period to bring New Jersey within two goals before picking up the secondary helper on the tally scored by his brother, Luke Hughes. Overall, the elder of the two Hughes in New Jersey is up to 16 goals, 31 assists and 155 shots on net across 44 games this season. The OT hero for the United States at the Olympics has carried over his momentum to New Jersey, as he has 11 points in his last eight games. Barring injury, Hughes is on track to secure his fourth consecutive campaign with 60 points or more, giving him strong fantasy value to finish out the regular season.

  • Simon Nemec D | NJ

    Devils' Simon Nemec: Deposits power-play goal

    Nemec tallied a power-play goal and recorded two hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.

    Nemec recorded his power-play goal in response to John Beecher's shorthanded tally for Calgary 42 seconds prior. The power-play tally brought Nemec up to 10 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net and 70 blocked shots across 51 games this season. Thursday's goal was his second across five games in March. While his offensive production has taken an overall step back since the calendar flipped to 2026, he has already secured a new career high in points and holds high fantasy upside in dynasty leagues for the future.

  • Devils' Maxim Tsyplakov: Tallies first goal with New Jersey

    Tsyplakov scored a goal and dished out three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Calgary.

    Tsyplakov found the back of the net for the Devils' first tally of the game, cutting their initial two-goal deficit in half. The goal was also his first for New Jersey after being acquired by the team from the Islanders in the trade involving Ondrej Palat. Tsyplakov now has three points, 32 shots on net and 62 hits through 38 games this season. He holds limited upside in fantasy outside of deep league formats that value banger stats over offensive production.

  • Flames' Mikael Backlund: Lights lamp in win

    Backlund scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over New Jersey.

    Backlund netted the eventual game-winning goal early in Thursday's third period to place the Flames up 5-2. With his tally, the 36-year-old center is up to 14 goals, 37 points and 155 shots on net through 65 games this season. Following the departure of Nazem Kadri at the trade deadline, Backlund now holds the keys to Calgary's top six. He has two points in his last three games and could provide decent value in deep fantasy leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Flames' Yegor Sharangovich: Pots goal Thursday

    Sharangovich tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 win over New Jersey.

    Sharangovich scored late in Thursday's second period to place the Flames in front by two tallies. With the twine finder, he is up to 14 goals, 24 points, 115 shots on net and 27 blocked shots across 61 games this season. The 27-year-old winger is off to a hot start in March with three goals, an assist and nine shots on net across seven games. He's just two seasons removed from a 31-goal campaign and could prove to be a solid goal-scorer for the Flames down the stretch. He currently holds solid streaming value in deep fantasy leagues for the time being.

  • Kevin Bahl D | CGY

    Flames' Kevin Bahl: Finds twine in win

    Bahl scored a goal, placed two shots on net, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over New Jersey.

    Bahl doubled the Flames' lead at 14:07 of the first period with a goal assisted by new defensive partner, Olli Maatta. The twine finder brought Bahl up to four goals, 15 points, 56 shots on net, 94 hits and 92 blocked shots over 64 games this season. His second season with the Flames has him on track to post similar totals to his first year in Calgary. If he can compile five points down the stretch, he'll match his career high of 20, which he posted across 73 games a year ago.
