Bennett registered two assists (one on the power play), three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

Bennett has two goals and three assists over his last four contests, though he missed one game due to an undisclosed injury in that span. For the season, he has a career-best 53 points in just 67 outings, surpassing his 51-point output from 76 regular-season games a year ago. Bennett has added 177 shots on net, 111 hits and 76 PIM while seeing steady top-six minutes.

Reinhardt scored a goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

This was Reinhardt's first goal in four games for the Panthers, and it was also his first career game-winner. The 26-year-old has eight points, 35 shots on net, 91 hits and a minus-6 rating over 48 appearances between Florida and Vegas this season. The Panthers have taken a cautious approach with injuries recently, and as long as multiple forwards are out of action, Reinhardt figures to get steady bottom-six minutes.

Greer scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

Greer ended a 13-game goal drought with the first-period tally. He had just two assists in that span and sat out one contest prior to the trade deadline, though he was ultimately not moved. The 29-year-old winger is at 12 goals, 23 points, 86 shots on net, 177 hits, 92 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 67 appearances in a career year as a reliable depth forward for the Panthers.

Armia (upper body) will be activated off injured reserve and play Saturday versus Buffalo, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

Armia hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 26. He has 10 goals and 20 points in 53 outings in 2025-26. Armia will probably serve in a middle-six capacity, and his return might lead to Taylor Ward being a healthy scratch Saturday.

Dostal will patrol the blue paint on the road against Utah on Friday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Dostal has struggled a little of late, giving up three or more goals in four of his last five outings, though he still managed to walk away with a 3-1-1 record. As long as the wins keep piling up, the young netminder should continue to see the bulk of the workload in the stretch run.

Ufko scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Ufko's two NHL goals have come against the Seattle -- he scored his first March 10 to help the Predators in another win in a key matchup for wild-card positioning. Ufko has two goals, three assists, five shots on net, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven total contests in a third-pairing role. His limited ice time (13:10 per game) makes him risky in fantasy, but there is scoring upside.

Haight posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

Haight's helper was his first career NHL point. The 21-year-old is filling in while the Wild are missing Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), who is considered day-to-day but won't play Saturday versus the Stars. Haight has added six shots on net, six hits and a minus-3 rating over six outings in a fourth-line role in his first taste of NHL action this year.

Pulock notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Pulock snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. He missed the Islanders' March 4 game versus the Ducks due to an upper-body injury, but he has resumed his top-four role without restrictions since then. The defenseman is up to 25 points, 79 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-15 rating over 66 appearances.

Schenn scored a goal on three shots and added five PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Schenn brought some early intensity by fighting Ridly Greig in the first period. In the third, Schenn put the Islanders ahead 2-1 with his goal, but the lead wouldn't last. The 34-year-old center is fitting in well on the second line with four points in six games since he was traded from the Blues. Through 67 outings overall, he has 14 goals, 18 assists, 98 shots on net, 147 hits, 31 blocked shots, 56 PIM and a minus-24 rating.

Gilbert notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Gilbert has played in four straight games since the Senators are missing Jake Sanderson (upper body) and Nick Jensen (knee). Gilbert isn't getting a lot of work -- he was under 10 minutes of ice time for the second contest in a row Thursday. Through five NHL outings this year, the 29-year-old has two shots on net, five hits and 10 blocked shots, so he'll mostly contribute in the physical categories.
