Warren Foegele LW | OTT
Senators' Warren Foegele: Tallies tying goal
Foegele scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
Foegele has three points over his last three games while filling a fourth-line role. He's been a good fit for the Senators so far with four points in seven contests since he was traded from the Kings. The winger is up to 10 goals, 13 points, 86 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-3 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Justus Annunen G | NSH
Predators' Justus Annunen: Earns win versus Seattle
Annunen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Annunen had one of his best performances of the season in this win over the Kraken, but the strong performances have been the norm recently for the 26-year-old Finnish native. This was the fourth consecutive game in which Annunen allowed three or fewer goals, and he's gone 2-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .924 save percentage in that stretch. Annunen could be in line for more playing time in the coming days since the No. 1 goaltender, Juuse Saros, is currently dealing with an upper-body injury. If Saros isn't deemed healthy to play against Vegas on Saturday, Annunen should get the nod once again.

Filip Forsberg LW | NSH
Predators' Filip Forsberg: Three points in win
Forsberg scored an empty-net goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Forsberg was outstanding for the Predators in this game and was directly involved in the team's three goals. Perhaps more importantly, the star winger seems to have left his slump behind. He went pointless in four games between March 7 and March 15, but he has bounced back with five points (two goals, three assists), seven shots and a plus-3 rating over his last two contests. The Predators are a far more dangerous team when Forsberg is doing damage on offense, whether that's scoring or setting up goals for his teammates.

Shane Pinto C | OTT
Senators' Shane Pinto: Nets shortie in win
Pinto scored a shorthanded goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
Pinto's productive March continues. He has three goals and five assists over nine outings this month, contributing well from a third-line role. The center is up to 18 goals, 37 points, 130 shots on net, 80 hits, 39 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 58 appearances. He's earned more shorthanded points (three) than power-play points (two) this year.

Sergei Bobrovsky G | FLA
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Posts 21-save shutout
Bobrovsky posted a 21-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
Bobrovsky was outstanding throughout the game, and the fact that he earned a shutout against a team led by none other than Connor McDavid makes it even more impressive. This was a big bounce-back effort for Bobrovsky, who allowed five goals on 22 shots against the Canucks on Tuesday. That performance against Vancouver was a bump in the road, though, as Bobrovsky has now allowed one or fewer goals in his other three starts dating back to March 6. He has gone 3-3-0 with a 2.51 GAA and a .906 save percentage in six outings since the beginning of March.

Ryan O'Reilly C | NSH
Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Scores vs. Seattle
O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
This was O'Reilly's second goal of the month, but the lack of productivity hasn't been due to a lack of chances since the 35-year-old veteran has recorded at least two shots on goal in seven of his eight contests in March. O'Reilly has been productive despite the recent slump, as he has 62 points (23 goals, 39 assists) in 67 games this season. As long as he continues to skate on the first line and attempt enough shots, the goals should come for O'Reilly.

Joey Daccord G | SEA
Kraken's Joey Daccord: Beaten twice in loss
Daccord stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Predators. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Daccord was beaten once in the first period and once more in the second. By the time the Predators closed out the scoring with Filip Forsberg's third goal, Daccord was already on the bench as Seattle was pushing forward for a late equalizer with an extra attacker. Daccord has posted a save percentage of at least .920 in his last two appearances, and he should continue to have a slight edge in terms of playing time over Philipp Grubauer.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Allows four goals Thursday
Ingram stopped 19 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.
Ingram was coming off back-to-back wins, but that brief streak ended abruptly Thursday. This was far from his best performance, but the offense didn't give him any support either. Ingram has now allowed three or more goals in three of his last four starts, a span during which he's posted a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage while going 2-1-1.
-
Jonathan Toews C | WPG
Jets' Jonathan Toews: Pots power-play goal in loss
Toews scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Bruins.
Toews has scored in consecutive contests. This was his first power-play tally since Jan. 15 versus the Wild. The 37-year-old center is up to nine goals, 23 points (six with the man advantage), 93 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 68 outings.

Frederick Gaudreau C | SEA
Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: Pots goal vs. Nashville
Gaudreau scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.
Gaudreau scored the Kraken's lone goal in this loss, but he's not known for being much of a scoring force. This was just his fifth goal of the campaign, and it was also the first time he found the back of the net since Jan. 5 in a win over the Flames. Considering his fourth-line role and 9.3 percent shooting across his 54 appearances in 2025-26, Gaudreau is not expected to be much of a scoring force in the final weeks of the regular season.
