Rosen scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Rosen has been under 10 minutes of ice time in four straight games. He snapped a nine-game slump with his goal Tuesday, which likely explains why he's on the fourth line while the Jets lean on their veterans in a late push for a playoff spot. Rosen has earned five goals, four helpers, 26 shots on net, 13 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 29 NHL appearances between the Jets and the Sabres this season.

Perfetti scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Perfetti's point streak is up to five games (three goals, two assists). He's earned two power-play points over his last eight outings as well, as he continues to fill a spot on the first unit. The 24-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 31 points, 126 shots on net, 49 hits, 29 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 60 appearances. Perfetti finished March with 10 points in 16 contests for his highest-scoring month of the campaign.

Morrissey scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Morrissey got the Jets on the board early in the second period and helped out on Kyle Connor's game-winning tally in overtime. The 31-year-old Morrissey has a goal and five assists during his five-game point streak. The defenseman produced 10 points over 13 outings in March and is up to 13 goals, 39 helpers, 127 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Connor scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Connor's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists). He set up Josh Morrissey on the Jets' first goal, and Morrissey assisted when Connor netted the game-winner 33 seconds into overtime. For the season, Connor is up to 34 goals, 85 points, 241 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He has a good chance at another 90-point campaign -- which would be his third in five years -- though he'd need to tap into his finishing touch some more to get back to the 40-goal mark.

Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Hellebuyck let in a goal in each period, ultimately letting a 3-1 lead slip away. However, the Jets controlled the puck for all of overtime, culminating in Kyle Connor's tally 33 seconds into the frame. Hellebuyck has now won three of his last four games while allowing nine goals on 106 shots in that span. He's up to 20-20-11 with a 2.80 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 51 starts this season. The Jets are within a point of a playoff spot after this win, so expect a steady string of Hellebuyck starts to come, especially since the Jets don't have a back-to-back set until April 13-14. He'll likely get the nod in Dallas on Thursday.

Cihar scored a goal and added three assists in WHL Kelowna's 7-4 win over Kamloops in Game 3 on Tuesday.

Cihar is up to eight points and a plus-6 rating through three playoff contests. The 19-year-old is connecting well with Mammoth prospect Tij Iginla to form a dynamic scoring duo for the Rockets. Cihar, a Kings prospect drafted 59th overall in 2025, should continue to put up big numbers throughout Kelowna's playoff run.

Oettinger made 17 saves Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to Boston.

The Bruins were intense and disciplined, and they closed quickly on every puck. Oettinger did his best, but his squad continued their struggles. The team is 1-4-2 in their past seven and skidded out of a four-game road trip 1-2-1. Oettinger has 30 wins this season for the fifth time in his career, but he can't do it all. Plus, his .898 save percentage is the worst of his career and painfully pedestrian -- this season, the league average for save percentage is .896. Oettinger will get a rest soon as the Stars start to prep for the postseason.

Schmidt scored twice in WHL Seattle's 4-3 loss to Penticton in Game 3 on Tuesday.

Schmidt hasn't been able to lift the Thunderbirds past the Vees yet, as Penticton leads this first-round series 3-0 after Tuesday's game. Schmidt has earned two goals and an assist in the playoffs. The 19-year-old winger had a 100-point regular season after being a third-round pick of the Stars in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

Wood was held off the scoresheet for his eighth game in a row in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Wood was scratched nine times in March, but playing time is likely to open up for him while Dmitri Voronkov (hand) and Mathieu Olivier (upper body) are out. Through 47 outings this season, Wood has 14 points, 65 shots on net, 57 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-5 rating while mainly filling a bottom-six role. Fantasy managers don't need to track his progress at this stage of the season.

Duchene scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

Duchene has six points, including two goals, and eight shots in his last seven games. All four assists in that span came with the man advantage. The 35-year-old Duchene has 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) in 50 games this season, and he's steadily progressing toward the 1,000-point mark. He has 386 goals, 543 assists and 929 points in 1,188 regular-season games during his 17-campaign career.
