Luukkonen stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kraken.

Luukkonen was beaten once in the first period and once more in the second, but he was excellent the rest of the way and also stopped two shots during the shootout to earn the win. The 27-year-old goaltender managed to bounce back from the overtime loss against the Bruins on Tuesday, and he's won six of his last nine outings. He continues to operate on a timeshare with Alex Lyon, and if that continues, Luukkonen could return to the crease in Thursday's road matchup against the Senators.

Protas (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Protas was injured in a collision with former teammate Nic Dowd in the first period. The 25-year-old Protas can be considered day-to-day for now, though he'll have a couple of days to recover before the Capitals' next game Tuesday versus the Flyers.

Dahlin scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kraken.

Dahlin has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the second time in his last six appearances. He's up to four goals, three assists, 10 PIM, 15 shots, five hits and two blocked shots over his last six games, establishing himself as a strong fantasy contributor in multiple categories. He's also up to 17 goals on the season, good for seventh among defensemen in the league.

Savoie scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Ducks.

Savoie is skating on the Oilers' top line, and he's riding a three-game, three-goal scoring streak. He has six points, including four goals, in his last eight outings. Savoie has 14 goals, 17 assists and 113 shots in 74 appearances this season.

McMann recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

McMann participated in the build-up of Chandler Stephenson's goal in the first period, and he later doubled Seattle's lead in the second frame. It wouldn't be a stretch to consider McMann one of the hottest forwards in the NHL of late. He has found the back of the net seven times in his last eight games. Since making his Kraken debut on March 14, McMann has posted seven goals, four assists, 23 shots and 17 hits across eight outings.

Stephenson had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Stephenson broke the deadlock for the Kraken with a snap shot at the 12:42 mark of the first period, and he later set up Bobby McMann's goal midway through the second frame. Stephenson is up to 44 points on the season, but most importantly, the first-period tally snapped a prolonged 12-game goal drought for the 31-year-old center.

Grubauer stopped 34 of 36 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Grubauer allowed one goal in the second period and another in the third before surrendering two in the shootout to take the defeat. Still, the 34-year-old veteran has posted at least 30 saves in back-to-back games, and he's allowed three or fewer goals in four of his last five appearances. With a save percentage north of .900 in three of his last four games, Grubauer is a solid streaming option in most formats.

Hyman had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Saturday.

Hyman's point streak sits at three games and four points (two goals, two assists). He has 31 goals in 55 games this season, which ranks him fifth in the league in goals per game (0.56). Hyman also has 19 assists, 157 shots on net and 52 hits this campaign.

Blackwood stopped 17 of 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 2:09 left in the third period.

Blackwood failed to extend his winning streak to four games. The 29-year-old goaltender has allowed three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings while going 3-2-0 with a 2.46 GAA and an .882 save percentage in that stretch.

Nelson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.

Nelson found the back of the net at the 8:59 mark of the first period, tying the game at one goal apiece, but the Jets pulled ahead and earned the win. Nelson now has three goals and four points over his last five appearances. His 33 goals rank third for Colorado behind Nathan MacKinnon (48) and Martin Necas (34).
