Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston.

The 26-year-old center got Montreal on the board midway through the first period, getting the puck right on Jeremy Swayman's doorstep and flipping a backhand past the netminder. Suzuki also set up Cole Caufield's game-winner. Suzuki has five multi-point performances in 10 games since returning from the Olympics. Tuesday's effort pushed him up to 80 points (24 goals, 56 assists) on the season, marking the second straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone.

Sherwood scored a goal, registered an assist, put two shots on net, served two PIM and recorded two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

Sherwood recorded his second multi-point game in March by earning an assist in the first period and a goal in the second stanza. The 30-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, eight assists, 139 shots on net, 270 hits and 27 blocked shots across 56 games this season. After setting the single-season hit record a year ago, Sherwood is on track to finish in the league's top two in the category again this season. His offensive production of six points over his last eight games has been a nice bonus in fantasy, where he profiles as a solid player in most formats and an elite player in banger leagues.

Caufield scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Bruins.

With just 22 seconds left in the extra frame, Caufield redirected a Nick Suzuki pass past Jeremy Swayman and into the net. It was the 40th goal of the season for Caufield, marking the first time in his career that he has reached that plateau. He also became the first Montreal player to hit 40 since Vincent Damphousse did it in 1993-94. Caufield has been locked in since the Olympic break, collecting eight goals and 11 points. Given his current pace, 10 more goals in the Canadiens' final 15 contests to get to 50 doesn't seem impossible.

Regenda tallied a goal, fired four shots on net and dished out six hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

Regenda scored his first NHL goal since returning from the Olympics to cut the Sharks' deficit in half during the second period. Overall, the 26-year-old winger has nine goals, 10 points, 40 shots on net and 46 hits across 20 games for San Jose this season. While Regenda has cooled off after his hot start of six goals in five games, he still provides value in fantasy leagues that recognize banger stats.

Dobes stopped 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Pavel Zacha got pucks past him early in the first and second periods, but Dobes shut the door the rest of the way before Cole Caufield tipped home the winner in overtime. Dobes has allowed three goals or fewer in five of six starts since the Olympic break, going 4-2-0 over that stretch with a 2.83 GAA and .895 save percentage. He has been doing a solid job of staking his claim to the No. 1 role in the Montreal crease over Sam Montembeault and Jacob Fowler.

Orlov scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

Orlov has recorded only multi-point games this season. He potted the opening goal before sliding the lone helper on a marker by Kiefer Sherwood. The pair of points brought Orlov up to two goals, 26 assists, 65 shots on net, 101 hits and 65 blocked shots across 66 games this campaign. The 34-year-old blueliner has begun to find his groove offensively in March, as he's posted five points over his last eight games. The all-around blueliner holds solid fantasy value in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Zacha scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal.

The 28-year-old center gave Boston a pair of one-goal leads early in the first and second periods, but it was all the offense the visitors could muster. Zacha has been on a tear in March, racking up seven goals and 11 points in nine games to carry him to a career-high 22 goals on the season. He sits one point shy of his third career 50-point campaign.

Swayman made 28 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

The Bruins took one-goal leads early in the first and second periods, but Swayman gave up an equalizer before intermission each time. Boston's offense also went cold the rest of the way. The 27-year-old netminder is still having a strong run since returning from the Olympis, going 4-2-1 over his last seven starts with a 1.97 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Henrique recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Henrique picked up the lone helper on Vasily Podkolzin's goal in the first period before earning another primary assist on Max Jones' game-winning goal. Overall, Henrique has 10 assists, 12 points, 74 shots on net and 62 blocked shots across 52 games this season. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Henrique stepped up in a more offensive role Tuesday, opposed to his usual defensive style. While the 36-year-old forward will likely stay in the bottom six, he could see an uptick in production if his first game since Draisaitl's absence is an indicator of what's to come.

Thompson will be between the pipes at home against the Senators on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Thompson has managed just one win in his last five outings despite a decent 2.61 GAA over that stretch. His current 2.42 GAA this season would mark a career best for the Calgary native. Thompson also has a 22-19-5 record and a .912 save percentage through 46 appearances this season.
