Stenlund recorded two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Stenlund has four helpers over his last four outings despite missing a game due to a lower-body injury in that span. The 29-year-old center continues to work in a bottom-six role, though he's gained enough responsibility to get extra minutes when protecting a lead or keeping a game close. He was also on the ice in overtime, picking up the secondary helper on Nick Schmaltz's game-winner. Stenlund is at 18 points, 58 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 36 hits and 24 PIM through 69 contests this season.

Schmaltz scored a pair of goals on seven shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Schmaltz had gone eight games without a goal, picking up just three assists with 20 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old was able to break out of the funk with a second-period tally, and he added the game-winning goal 1:46 into overtime. Schmaltz has a career-high 26 goals, including a personal-best seven game-winners this season. He's also at 63 points, matching his high-water mark from last year, while adding 172 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-23 rating through 71 appearances in 2025-26.

Crouse scored twice on five shots, dished an assist, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Crouse had a pair of goals in the first period, though the Kings answered both of those within a minute. He also helped out on Nick Schmaltz's first tally of the contest late in the second frame. Crouse has moved around the lineup at times, but he's looked good when he gets top-line opportunities alongside Schmaltz and Clayton Keller. For the season, Crouse is up to 19 goals, 37 points, 118 shots on net, 186 hits, 47 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-22 rating through 70 appearances.

Vejmelka stopped 33 of 36 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Vejmelka let the Mammoth's first three leads slip away, but the Kings never found a lead against him. This was Vejmelka's second win in a row, though it's also the fifth time in six games he's allowed at least three goals. The 29-year-old netminder is up to 32-18-3 with a 2.67 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 54 appearances this season. The Mammoth's goaltending workload distribution has gotten a little unpredictable, but it's likely a safe assumption to pencil in Vejmelka for a critical home matchup Tuesday versus the Oilers.

Holmberg scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Holmberg ended a 13-game goal drought with the tally. He's earned a point in three of his last five contests, but he remains an inconsistent scorer in a bottom-six role. Holmberg has 10 goals, 21 points, 78 shots on net and 58 hits this season, all career highs, while adding 29 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 62 appearances.

McDonagh scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

McDonagh opened the scoring 7:25 into the game. He's earned three points over 11 outings in March. McDonagh isn't adding much offense, but he remains a reliable shutdown blueliner. He has six goals, eight assists, 32 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 36 appearances this season.

Raddysh scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Raddysh had three points over four contests during the Lightning's road trip out west. The defenseman is up to 19 goals, 61 points, 175 shots on net, 61 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating over 62 appearances this season. Raddysh continues to impress in a top-pairing role and has become the team's most reliable blueliner on offense after a down year for Victor Hedman (illness).

Johansson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Johansson wasn't able to finish off a perfect road trip for the Lightning, but he at least got them one standings point with a lockdown third period. He is winless over his last five outings, giving up 24 goals on 154 shots in that span. For the season, the veteran backup is 10-9-2 with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Lightning are likely to turn back to Andrei Vasilevskiy at home Tuesday versus the Wild, but with a back-to-back coming up over the weekend, Johansson shouldn't have to wait long for his next start.

Whitecloud notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Whitecloud earned his first point in five outings since he returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points, 58 shots on net, 108 hits, 105 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 66 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. Whitecloud is currently in a top-four role with the Flames, though he functions as a shutdown defenseman rather than a scorer.

Olofsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Olofsson has tallied in back-to-back games after going 10 contests without a goal. The 30-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 130 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances between Calgary and Colorado. Olofsson continues to fill a third-line role for the Flames, so he may be worth a look as a streaming option if he can sustain his recent uptick in scoring.
