McDavid scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

The Oilers' top players weren't at their best Tuesday, but McDavid still contributed late. He's scored six goals and added four assists during a five-game point streak, though none of that production has come on the power play. The 29-year-old superstar is leading the NHL with 125 points (43 goals, 82 helpers) while adding 272 shots on net, 36 PIM, a plus-14 rating, 37 hits and 28 blocked shots over 75 appearances.

Ingram posted a 27-save shutout in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Ingram celebrated his 29th birthday in style, earning his second shutout of the campaign and the ninth of his NHL career. This was his third straight win, and he's allowed just five goals on 89 shots in that span. The strong run of play recently has helped the Oilers get their feet off the fire in the playoff race. Ingram is up to 14-8-2 with a 2.69 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. As long as the results stay good, the crease is all his. The Oilers host the Blackhawks in a favorable matchup Thursday.

Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Grubauer kept it close but didn't get any help from his teammates. This was his third straight start, but he's gone 1-1-1 with seven goals allowed on 92 shots in those outings. He finishes March with a 2-3-1 record over seven appearances. Grubauer is down to 13-10-4 on the year with a 2.58 GAA and a .911 save percentage. The Kraken can't afford many more losses if they want to stay in the playoff race, so expect the goaltending starts to go to the hot hand. The Kraken host the Mammoth on Thursday in a game that will be pivotal in the standings.

Crevier logged two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Crevier has earned four assists over his last four contests. He's shown no ill effects after taking a skate blade to the face in last Thursday's game against the Flyers. The 24-year-old defenseman is filling a top-four role to close out the 2025-26 campaign. He's earned 21 points, 108 shots on net, 114 hits, 84 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 71 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Mikheyev logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Mikheyev set up Anton Frondell in the first period and Tyler Bertuzzi in the third. With the first helper, Mikheyev logged the 100th assist of his career, coming in his 420th game. The winger is knocking on the door of another couple of milestones, sitting five goals shy of 100 and four points shy of 200 in his career. He has three goals and two assists over his last eight outings to get up to 31 points, 112 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-3 rating through 70 appearances this season. That puts him three points back of matching his total from 80 games a year ago.

Frondell scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Frondell's first NHL goal opened the scoring at 4:42 of the first period. The 18-year-old has a goal, four helpers, 13 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through five appearances since coming over from the SHL. Frondell shouldn't be expected to be a point-per-game player over a longer stretch, but he can do enough from a top-six role to help fantasy managers looking for a boost late in the season.

Bertuzzi scored twice on three shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Bertuzzi tallied in the second and third periods. The first goal got him to 30 for just the second time in his career, and he established the new career high with the tying tally at 9:46 of the third period. The winger did a fine job in March with five goals and 11 points over 16 contests. He's up to 55 points, 154 shots on net, 52 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 72 appearances this season. He'd need seven more points to match his career high of 62 set in the 2021-22 campaign.

Knight stopped 20 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Knight is 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 138 shots in his last four outings. The Blackhawks' inexperienced defense and Knight's career-high 50 games played are likely factors in his declining performance late in the season. The 24-year-old netminder is now at an 18-21-11 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage on the year. The Blackhawks set off for a three-game road trip next, which begins Thursday in Edmonton. That'll be a matchup fantasy managers want to avoid, as the Oilers have tagged Knight for six goals on 66 shots in their previous two meetings this season.

Zhilkin notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

This was Zhilkin's first NHL point, coming in his sixth appearance. The 22-year-old has added four shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while playing in a fourth-line role. Zhilkin looks likely to stay in the lineup until one of Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body) or Morgan Barron (concussion) is healthy enough to play.

Scheifele logged three assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Scheifele has three goals and six assists during his four-game point streak. One of his helpers Tuesday came on the power play, which was his first point with the man advantage since March 7 versus the Canucks. That didn't slow him down this month -- he earned 22 points over 16 contests in March. He's crossed the 90-point mark for the first time in his career with 34 goals, 58 assists, 18 power-play points, 160 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 74 appearances. Scheifele is tied for seventh in the NHL in points, alongside Colorado's Martin Necas and Montreal's Nick Suzuki.
