Tippett scored three goals on seven shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

Tippett scored in each period, with his tally in the final frame coming on the power play to complete the hat trick. That goal was also the game-winner after the Red Wings made a comeback attempt. Tippett has a hot stick this month, scoring eight goals and adding four assists over 13 outings in March. He's up to 27 goals -- one off matching his career high -- and is up to 48 points, 204 shots on net, 141 hits and a minus-4 rating over 72 appearances.

Vladar stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

Vladar was pitching a shutout until the Red Wings scored three times in a span of 2:31 late in the third period. He was able to fend off their attempt at an equalizer, and Sean Couturier's empty-netter gave the Flyers a little more breathing room to close out the win. Vladar has won four of his last six games, allowing just 12 goals on 166 shots in that span. He's up to 24-12-7 with a 2.44 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 45 appearances this season. The Flyers play again Sunday versus the Stars, but since they're in a tight playoff race, Vladar could get the nod again, though Samuel Ersson has shown much better play since the Olympic break.

Woll made 33 saves in a 5-1 loss to St. Louis on Saturday.

The Maple Leafs were outshot 38-13 in the contest, and the score could have been much worse if not for a solid display by Woll. His .904 save percentage is well above the NHL average of .897, but deploying him in fantasy right now is a dangerous choice with the team disintegrating in front of him.

Dostal made 30 saves on 33 shots in a 4-2 loss to Edmonton on Saturday. The final goal of the game was an empty-netter.

It was Dostal's first regulation loss in five games (3-1-1). The young netminder is 29-16-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .894 save percentage in 50 appearances this season. Dostal's save percentage is a shade off the NHL average (.897) this campaign. He is tied for fourth in the NHL with 29 wins.

Sennecke scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Sennecke has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games. The goal pushed him into a three-way tie with Ivan Demidov and Matthew Schaefer for the most points (56) among rookies. Sennecke's 22 goals also put him in a three-way tie with Schaefer and Oliver Kapanen for the NHL rookie lead.

Gauthier scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Edmonton.

Gauthier is on a modest two-game, two-point streak (one goal, one assist). The goal was his 37th of the season (72 games). That puts the young forward in a tie with Tage Thompson for ninth in the NHL. Gauthier also has a team-leading 64 points this season.

Howard scored twice in AHL Bakersfield's 6-3 win over Texas on Saturday.

Howard reached the 20-goal mark for the season with this effort. He has seven points over his last four outings as he continues to dominate in the AHL. The winger is at 20 goals, 42 points and 121 shots on net through 39 appearances for the Condors as a rookie this season.

Carlson delivered two assists in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Saturday.

Carlson's assist streak stands at three games and seven helpers. He has eight assists, including three on the power play, and 17 shots in seven games with the Ducks since being acquired from Washington ahead of the trade deadline.

Ingram made 29 saves in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Saturday.

Ingram made some great saves, and the team played well in front of him. He has won twice this week. Ingram beat the Golden Knights on Thursday night and now the Ducks. His battery mate Tristan Jarry has struggled in Edmonton but had a rare win Tuesday, too. Ingram appears to have the inside track on the blue paint right now, so he may help your playoff run.

Bouchard delivered two assists in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Saturday.

Bouchard's point streak stands at four games and eight points (one goal, seven assists). He has put up three straight multiple-point efforts. Bouchard has 20 goals and 66 helpers over 74 appearances this season. Not only has he set new career marks in goals, assists and points, but Bouchard joined the great Paul Coffey as the only other Oilers defenseman to record 65 or more assists in a single season. Coffey accomplished the feat four times.
