Smith recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

One of Smith's helpers came on the power play. The 21-year-old has three multi-point efforts over his last four contests, earning two goals and two assists in that span. He temporarily lost the trust of head coach Ryan Warsofsky in the middle of March, but Smith is back on the top line and has returned to productivity. He's earned 21 goals, 30 helpers, 146 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 59 outings this season, surpassing his 45-point effort from 74 games as a rookie last year.

Zellweger registered an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Zellweger has earned two points over his last four outings, though he was a healthy scratch once in that span as well. The 22-year-old defenseman has mostly been able to retain a third-pairing spot in the lineup recently, but that's come without power-play usage. With the helper Monday, Zellweger has a career-high 21 points over 72 games, and he's added 117 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 31 hits this season.

Terry recorded an assist, two shots on goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Terry was in his second game back from missing one contest due to a lower-body injury. He had 20:01 of ice time Monday, his first time over the 20-minute mark since Dec. 16 versus the Blue Jackets. The winger has taken more than his fair share of bumps and bruises this season, so he could get rested if the Ducks lock up the top spot in the Pacific Division. Terry has remained productive with 17 goals, 36 assists, 126 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 53 appearances.

Othmann scored a goal, added two hits and went minus-3 in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

None of the Flames looked all that good, but Othmann was able to get on the scoresheet again in his second game with the team. He's up to three points, 15 shots on net, 44 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 19 contests between the Flames and the Rangers this season. If Othmann can continue scoring in less-than-ideal circumstances on Calgary's fourth line, he should be a mainstay in the lineup for the rest of the campaign.

Strome scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Strome's third-period tally came far too late to flip the game -- it only cut the deficit to 8-2 at the time. Still, he's benefited from steady top-six minutes with the Flames, earning three goals and three assists over his last seven contests. Strome is up to 19 points over 46 appearances between the Flames and the Ducks this season, including 10 points in 13 outings with Calgary. He's added 53 shots on net, 19 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-8 rating.

Nelson logged two assists in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Nelson earned his first multi-point effort since March 3 in Anaheim. The 34-year-old center still put together a decent month, earning three goals, eight assists and 38 shots on net over 15 contests. For the season, he's at 33 goals, 61 points, 173 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 73 appearances. This is the third time he's crossed the 60-point mark in a campaign, all of which have come in the last four years.

Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Landeskog was under 15 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but given the lopsided nature of this contest, that's not a surprise. The 33-year-old also missed time due to a lower-body injury earlier in March, so the Avalanche are unlikely to push him too much with the Presidents' Trophy all but secured. Landeskog has earned 11 goals, 32 points, 115 shots on net, 73 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 52 outings in a solid comeback campaign.

Malinski scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Malinski has five points, a plus-5 rating and seven blocks over his last four contests. The 27-year-old defenseman rarely steals the spotlight, but he's been excellent this year with 34 points, 140 shots on net, 82 blocks and a plus-41 rating through 73 appearances, more than double his 15-point output from the 2024-25 regular season. If Cale Makar (upper body) misses time, Malinski could carve out a larger power-play role in the short term.

Lehkonen scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Lehkonen has three points over three contests since he returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The winger was on the top line at even strength Monday and contributed both points in the third period after the Avalanche's top forwards were not part of a five-goal eruption in the opening frame. Lehkonen is now at 20 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-31 rating over 62 appearances, matching his point total from 69 regular-season outings a year ago.

Schenn scored a goal, added three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

Schenn has four points over his last two outings to bounce back from a four-game slide. The 34-year-old center is up to 36 points over 73 contests this season, including eight points in 12 games since he was traded to the Islanders from the Blues. He's added 110 shots on net, 160 hits, 40 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a minus-26 rating.
