  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Achieves first 20-goal campaign

    Bouchard scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    Bouchard has earned a goal and seven helpers over his last six contests. His goal was his first since March 12 versus the Stars, and it was his 20th of the campaign. This is the first time the defenseman has reached that mark, and he also set a career high in points with 84 through 73 appearances. The 26-year-old has added 203 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 73 appearances. Bouchard is seven points ahead of Zach Werenski for the scoring lead among blueliners, giving the Edmonton rearguard a growing case for Norris Trophy consideration.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Three more points in win

    McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added two assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    McDavid's first helper was the 800th of his career, coming just one game after he reached the 1,200-point plateau. The 32-year-old kept rolling with a second-period tally and another primary assist to set up Evan Bouchard's game-winner in overtime. McDavid has four goals and two assists during his active three-game point streak. For the season, the superstar is up to 41 goals, 121 points, 263 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 73 appearances. He's the ninth player to secure at least four regular seasons of 120-plus points, and the second to achieve that feat this week after Nikita Kucherov did it Tuesday.

  • Oilers' Connor Ingram: Wins big game in overtime

    Ingram stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    The Oilers opened a two-point lead on the Golden Knights for second in the Pacific Division with this win. Ingram has started six of the last seven games for Edmonton, going 3-2-1 despite allowing at least three goals in five of his outings in that span. The 28-year-old netminder is up to 12-8-2 with a 2.83 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 25 appearances. Ingram will likely get the nod again Saturday versus the Ducks as the Oilers look to close the gap for the division lead.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Light night in OT loss

    Vasilevskiy made 15 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken on Thursday.

    Vasilevskiy's work earned the Lightning a point, but the Kraken were the more desperate team. Vasilevskiy has picked up points in each of his last five outings, going 4-0-1. Overall, the big netminder is 34-12-4 with a 2.33 GAA, a .912 save percentage and two shutouts.

  • Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Provides three helpers in loss

    Sergachev notched three assists, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

    Sergachev picked up all three helpers in the first period, with two of them coming on the power play. The 27-year-old defenseman has seven assists over the last eight games, though he's also gone minus-3 in that span. For the season, he's up to 49 points (20 on the power play), 138 shots on net, 115 blocked shots, 38 PIM and 36 hits across 69 outings.

  • Clayton Keller RW | UTA

    Mammoth's Clayton Keller: Trio of assists in loss

    Keller recorded three assists, four shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

    Keller has three goals and four helpers over his last six games. He earned one of his assists on the power play in this contest. The 27-year-old continues to be among the most reliable scorers for the Mammoth, totaling 22 goals, 49 assists, 19 power-play points, 207 shots on net and a plus-20 rating over 73 outings this season.

  • Corey Perry RW | TB

    Lightning's Corey Perry: Makes most of limited ice time

    Perry scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

    Perry doesn't get a lot of ice time -- he played just 7:48 during Thursday's matchup -- but his willingness to do the dirty work on the power play gets him over the boards and adds to his value. Perry's goal knotted the contest at 3-3 midway through the third period and ultimately forced overtime.

  • Mammoth's MacKenzie Weegar: Scores first goal with new team

    Weegar scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

    Weegar potted his first goal as a member of the Mammoth in the third period, but the Capitals had four tallies in that frame to run away with the win. It's been slow going for Weegar with his new team -- he has three points, a plus-1 rating, 22 hits and 18 blocks over 11 outings since he was traded from the Flames. For the season, the blueliner has 24 points, 141 shots on net, 152 hits, 161 blocks, 78 PIM and a minus-34 rating across 71 appearances.

  • Logan Cooley C | UTA

    Mammoth's Logan Cooley: Strikes on power play in loss

    Cooley scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

    Cooley stretched the Mammoth's lead to 3-1 late in the first period. The 21-year-old center had been limited to two assists and 12 shots on net over his previous nine outings. For the season, he has 18 goals, 31 points, 85 shots on net, 47 hits, 21 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 45 appearances. A 28-game absence due to a lower-body injury ruined his chances of matching his 65-point effort from last year, but Cooley's overall production is also a bit lower, particularly in the playmaking department.

  • Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: Four assists in last five games

    D'Astous had two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over Seattle on Thursday.

    D'Astous has 24 points, including 20 assists, in 59 games this season. Four of those helpers have come in the last five games. D'Astous has 84 hits, 80 PIM, 65 blocks and 64 shots overall.
