Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Scores late in loss
Raymond scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Raymond's tally brought the Red Wings within a goal, but they couldn't tie the game. He has four goals and two assists over his last seven outings, but he hasn't had a multi-point effort since March 2 in Nashville. The star winger is up to 24 goals, 71 points, 153 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 71 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Productive since Olympic break
Holloway had a goal and an assist in a 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Holloway has been on a man on a mission since returning from an ankle injury after the Olympic break. He has 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in his past 15 games, including four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two outings. Despite being limited to 49 contests this campaign, Holloway is up to 36 points.

Cam Talbot G | DET
Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Makes relief appearance Saturday
Talbot stopped all four shots he faced in relief of John Gibson in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Talbot's entry into the game sparked the Red Wings, though they weren't able to erase all of the four-goal deficit they faced. The 38-year-old netminder had been sidelined by an undisclosed injury Friday. Talbot figures to see little work as long as the Red Wings are hunting for a playoff spot, as Gibson has taken over as a workhorse in March. For the season, Talbot is at a 12-8-5 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 29 appearances. The Red Wings have a back-to-back next weekend, which could offer Talbot a chance to get a start if he doesn't get one before then.

Blues' Jimmy Snuggerud: Fourteen points in last 11 games
Snuggerud scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Toronto.
Snuggerud has a modest three-game, three-point (two goals, one assist) scoring streak on the go, and he has 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in the past 11 contests. He sits fourth in NHL rookie scoring with 39 points across 60 appearances.

John Gibson G | DET
Red Wings' John Gibson: Yields four goals in loss
Gibson allowed four goals on 21 shots before he was replaced by Cam Talbot in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Gibson made his 11th straight start, but playing on consecutive days didn't go well for the 32-year-old. He exited the game after giving up Owen Tippett's hat-trick tally in the third period. It was Gibson's third loss in his last four games, and he's allowed 12 goals in that span. His heavy workload could be catching up to him. He's now at a 27-18-3 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 50 appearances this season. The Pittsburgh native seems likely to get the nod in his hometown when the Red Wings begin a three-game road trip Tuesday versus the Penguins.

Jamie Drysdale D | PHI
Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Provides two assists in win
Drysdale notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
Drysdale's second helper came on the power play as he set up Owen Tippett a second time. This was Drysdale's first multi-point performance since Feb. 28 versus the Bruins. The 23-year-old blueliner is up to 30 points (eight goals, 22 helpers), 91 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 69 appearances. This is just the second time in his career he's reached the 30-point mark, and he's in a good position to top his high-water mark of 32 points from the 2021-22 campaign with the Ducks.

Travis Konecny RW | PHI
Flyers' Travis Konecny: Two helpers on power play in win
Konecny logged two power-play assists, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
Konecny earned his first multi-point effort since Feb. 28 versus the Bruins. He assisted on goals by Noah Cates and Owen Tippett in this contest. Konecny remains in a top-six role, where he's generated 25 goals, 37 helpers, 148 shots on net, 90 hits, 36 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 68 appearances this season. He offers well-rounded production for fantasy managers, though he hasn't come all that close to matching his career-best 76-point campaign from 2024-25.

Jordan Binnington G | STL
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Barely breaks sweat beating Leafs
Binnington made 12 saves in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Binnington had a fairly easy night with most of the action at the other end of the ice. He has been better since returning from the Olympics, but Joel Hofer continues to see most of the action for the Blues. Hofer has gone 6-0-2 in eight outings in March compared to Binnington's 4-1-0 record in five appearances.

Sean Couturier C | PHI
Flyers' Sean Couturier: Deposits empty-netter
Couturier scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
Couturier's goal streak is up to three games. The 33-year-old isn't letting a fourth-line assignment slow him down on offense, though he gets a few extra shifts than his linemates thanks to his defensive skills. Couturier is now at 10 goals, 32 points, 107 shots on net, 74 hits and a minus-5 rating across 69 appearances this season.

Noah Cates LW | PHI
Flyers' Noah Cates: Pots power-play goal in win
Cates scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
Cates continues to find the net well with five goals and two assists over his last six games. This was his first power-play production since he had a helper with the man advantage March 2 versus the Maple Leafs. The 27-year-old forward is up to 17 goals, 41 points, nine power-play points, 113 shots on net, 42 PIM and a plus-20 rating, all of which are career highs, over 72 appearances.
