Svechnikov scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Svechnikov earned his first multi-point effort since March 14 versus the Lightning. The 26-year-old winger has two goals and three helpers, all with the man advantage, over his last five outings. For the season, Svechnikov has generated 27 goals, 37 helpers, 27 power-play points, 186 shots on net, 134 hits, 60 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He is five points shy of matching his career high from the 2021-22 regular season. He's also yet to miss a game this year, something that hasn't happened since his second campaign.

Ehlers scored a goal on three shots and dished two power-play assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Ehlers has scored in four of the last five games. The 30-year-old winger put together an excellent March with nine goals, 11 assists and 41 shots on net over 15 appearances, and he ended the month with four multi-point efforts over the last seven contests. For the season, he's up to 24 goals, a career-best 40 helpers, 186 shots on net, 26 power-play points and a plus-4 rating over 74 appearances. He needs one more point to establish a career high, which would surpass his 64-point total from 2016-17.

Bussi stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Bussi has won his last three outings, allowing seven goals on 70 shots in that span. He let a 2-0 lead slip away in this game, but the Hurricanes rebounded late in the third period to secure the win. Bussi is up to 28-6-1 with a 2.44 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 35 appearances. Bussi and Frederik Andersen mostly alternated starts in March, so it might be Andersen who gets the rematch against the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Khusnutdinov scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

It was Khusnutdinov's 15th of the season, but just his second in his last 15 contests (two assists). He's skating on the team's top line with Fraser Minten and David Pastrnak, but that hasn't guaranteed output. Khusnutdinov's fantasy value is nominal. He has 76 shots, 39 hits and 38 blocks in 70 games this season.

Jokiharju had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Stars on Tuesday.

His first goal with the Bruins stood as the winner. Jokiharju wired a wrist shot from the high slot glove side on Jake Oettinger early in the third period. Jokiharju has played 39 games this season and 18 last year for Boston. His fantasy value is limited. He has just 12 points, 35 shots, 35 blocks and 25 hits in 39 games.

Lindholm had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.

Lindholm's goal came on the power play; it was his first goal with the man advantage since Jan. 22, a span of 22 games. Lindholm has been sharp lately -- he has five goals and two assists in his last six games. He has also equaled his output from the 2024-25 regular season (47 points) in 20 fewer games (62 vs. 82).

Pastrnak served up three assists Tuesday in a 6-3 win over Dallas.

Pasta is in a three-way tie with Quinn Hughes and Evan Bouchard for fourth in assists (66) in the NHL. Those 66 apples establish a new career high for Pastrnak. He now has 95 points, including 29 goals, in 70 games, and he's closing in on his fourth consecutive century mark in points. Pastrnak is the fifth-highest regular-season point producer in the NHL in that span (424), behind Connor McDavid (509), Nikita Kucherov (499), Nathan MacKinnon (487) and Leon Draisaitl ( 437).

Arvidsson delivered a hat trick Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Stars.

It was his fifth NHL hat trick. Two of the goals were empty netters, but goals count no matter how they go in. Arvidsson is on a four-game, nine-point scoring streak that includes five goals and 12 shots. He now has 50 points (24 goals, 26 assists) in 63 games this season. It's the fourth time in the 32-year-old winger's NHL career that he's hit the half-century mark in points. Arvidsson is a standout for fantasy playoffs this year.

Suzuki netted his 27th goal of the season Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Suzuki is on a three-game, six-point scoring streak that includes three goals, three assists, four PIM, 14 shots, 28 faceoff wins and a plus-6 rating. Suzuki is now just three goals from his third straight 30-goal season, and his 93 points continue to extend his career season. They also put him squarely in the NHL's top seven point getters overall. Suzuki also has 59 blocks, 57 hits, 169 shots and 665 faceoff wins.

Matheson had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

His goal went into an empty net late in the third to push the score to 3-1. Matheson hadn't scored a goal since Feb. 28, a span of 15 games (five assists). He has seven goals, 29 assists, 143 blocks, 106 shots and 55 hits in 71 games this campaign. Matheson's 62-point outburst in the 2023-24 regular season was purely situational. His 36 points this season are the second-best effort of his career.
