Zach Hyman C | EDM
Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nets insurance goal Tuesday
Hyman tallied a goal, placed three shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.
Hyman sealed the deal for the Oilers with his goal just minutes after Max Jones' go-ahead tally. With the twine finder, Hyman now has 29 goals, 46 points, 150 shots on net and 39 hits across 50 games this season. The 33-year-old winger has been an effective goal scorer since the Olympic break with seven goals, 10 points and 31 shots on net over Edmonton's last 11 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season, Hyman will likely shoulder more offensive responsibilities down the stretch.

Oilers' Max Jones: Scores go-ahead tally
Jones scored a goal, put two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
Jones scored near the start of the third period, giving Edmonton a 4-3 lead, and it held up as the game-winner. The twine finder was his second of the season and second in his last four NHL games. Overall, he has three points, 16 shots on net and 27 hits across 10 games. He's compiled all of his stats without exceeding 10 minutes of ice time in a game this season. Jones has been an effective player when given the opportunity at the NHL level, but his fantasy value is minimal due to his limited playing time.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Lights lamp in win
Podkolzin scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.
Podkolzin scored the third goal in under five minutes for the Oilers, who built up a 3-1 lead by the end of the opening period. With Tuesday's twine finder, he has 16 goals, 31 points, 113 shots on net, 209 hits and 36 blocked shots across 69 games this season. The 24-year-old winger has been solid offensively over his last 13 games with four goals and eight points. He profiles as a strong fantasy option in deep leagues that place a premium on banger stats due to his 209 hits, which place him ninth in the NHL.

Connor Murphy D | EDM
Oilers' Connor Murphy: Nets first goal with Oilers
Murphy tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
Murphy gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead midway through the first period. The goal was his first since being acquired from the Blackhawks ahead of the trade deadline. Overall, he now has five goals, 14 points, 60 shots on net, 71 hits and 106 blocked shots across 67 games between Chicago and Edmonton this season. While the goal was his first offensive contribution for Edmonton across seven games, he's posted solid numbers in the defensive zone with 19 blocked shots. As a part of Edmonton's second defensive pairing, Murphy holds decent fantasy value in deep leagues that value banger stats.

Rangers' Jonathan Quick: Slated to start Wednesday
Quick is slated to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.
Quick has a 5-15-2 record, 3.05 GAA and .892 save percentage in 22 outings during the 2025-26 season. He earned a 21-save shutout in a 4-0 win over Calgary on March 10 in his last start. New Jersey has been successful in its past eight games, posting a 6-2-0 record while averaging 3.88 goals per outing.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins C | EDM
Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Finds twine on power play
Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.
Within minutes of San Jose's opening goal, Nugent-Hopkins responded with an equalizer, which he scored on a power play. Overall, the 32-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, 51 points, 106 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 59 games this season. Since the Olympic break, he's been solid offensively with five goals and six points over 10 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Nugent-Hopkins will likely be relied upon for offensive production both at even strength and on the power play. He holds solid fantasy value with a high ceiling for the remainder of the regular season.

Connor Ingram G | EDM
Oilers' Connor Ingram: Yields three goals in win
Ingram turned aside 27 of 30 shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
After allowing a goal in the first period and two in the second, Ingram kept the Sharks off the scoreboard in the third en route to the win. He now holds an 11-6-2 record, a 2.71 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 22 outings this season. Despite the small sample size, Ingram has been the Oilers' most consistent netminder this season. Since March 3, he hasn't lost in regulation, posting a 4-0-1 record, a 2.61 GAA and an .898 save percentage across six outings. He's a decent fantasy option for spot starts during the fantasy playoffs and could be back in the net during Thursday's home clash with the Panthers.

Alex Nedeljkovic G | SJ
Sharks' Alex Nedeljkovic: Allows five goals in loss
Nedeljkovic stopped 32 of 37 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.
Despite keeping the Oilers off the scoreboard in the second period, the Oilers got to Nedeljkovic three times in the opening stanza and twice in the third. With Tuesday's loss, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 13-10-3 record, a 2.85 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 30 games this season. The loss marked Nedeljkovic's first regulation defeat since Jan. 31 after his 3-0-1 start to post-Olympic action. He remains a solid option in deep fantasy leagues given the right matchup. With Yaroslav Askarov (lower body) still day-to-day, Nedeljkovic has a decent chance to appear in Thursday's home clash with the Sabres.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Extends point streak
Connor recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.
Connor was unable to extend his goal streak, but it wasn't for a lack of trying, as the seven shots he had in the contest were his third-highest mark of the season. Still, the 29-year-old pushed his point streak to four games, and he's cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his 11 appearances since the Olympics. Over that stretch, Connor has racked up 14 points (six goals, eight assists), 35 shots, 10 hits and four blocked shots while adding a plus-6 rating.

Connor Hellebuyck G | WPG
Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.
Hellebuyck was on the verge of losing in regulation, but Jonathan Toews' late third-period equalizer forced overtime and, ultimately, a shootout. Hellebuyck was unable to deliver in that decisive stage, and he has dropped three of his last four outings. Despite the Jets' recent struggles, Hellebuyck has a 2.63 GAA and a .902 save percentage in nine appearances since the Olympic break.
