Amadio scored a goal in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Amadio, who has a new career mark in points this season with 30, has been a surprising source of offense in March. He has four goals, four assists and 15 shots in 10 games. Amadio's 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists), coupled with 93 hits, 86 shots and 40 blocks, offer modest support for those of you in deep fantasy leagues.

Psenicka scored a goal and added an assist in WHL Portland's 5-4 overtime loss to Seattle on Saturday.

Psenicka reached the 30-point mark for the year with this performance. He's added 67 PIM, 114 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 53 appearances. Psenicka has four points over his last two games to bring some momentum late in the campaign.

Olivier scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Olivier gave the Blue Jackets a 3-0 lead at the 15:16 mark of the first period with a wrister, giving him 14 goals on the year. The 29-year-old winger wasn't done yet, and he assisted on Cole Sillinger's empty-netter as well. Olivier has two goals in his last three games, but the 29-year-old doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal as a bottom-six forward. Thus, Olivier shouldn't draw a lot of attention in most formats even if he's ending the season on a strong note.

Sillinger scored an empty-netter and added two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Sillinger closed out the scoring with an empty-netter at the 17:34 mark of the final frame after assisting on the goals by Damon Severson and Mathieu Olivier in the first period. Aside from being his second game with at least three points this season, with the first one coming back on Oct. 29, Saturday's outing also extended Sillinger's point streak to three games. His longest streak of the season was a four-point spree between Dec. 28 and Jan. 3. Sillinger has seven goals and 32 points through 68 appearances this campaign.

Greig scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over Toronto.

Greig rounded out the scoring after taking a pass in the slot and going forehand to backhand before ripping a shot glove side. It was Greig's first point in six games and his third point (two goals, one assist) in his last 16 outings. He has produced just 28 points through 64 appearances this season.

Daccord stopped 23 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Daccord has been struggling lately and has dropped five of his last six outings. He has gone 3-6-0 since the Olympic break, but he has surrendered four or more goals just three times in those contests. On the season, the 29-year-old owns a 2.90 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 42 appearances. He's done a solid job and seems to have reclaimed the No. 1 goaltender role for the Krakne.

Kakko scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kakko continues to find ways to produce despite his middle-six role, reaching the scoresheet for the third time in his last four outings. He has two goals and four assists during that span. Kakko is on pace to flirt with the 40-point plateau, but he probably won't challenge his career-high 44-point campaign from a year ago.

Foegele scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Foegele intercepted a clearing attempt, took a few strides and ripped a shot from above the right circle that deflected off a Toronto defender and past Joseph Woll. Foegele has four points, including three goals, in his last four games. He has just five shots in that span, so he's been taking advantage of his chances. However, it will be difficult to maintain that pace moving forward.

Giroux scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto.

Giroux backhanded in a rebound he created himself with a deflection in the second period to give Ottawa a 2-0 lead. The veteran forward has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last four games, but the goal snapped a 13-game drought. Giroux's game is evolving based on age, but he's still on pace to deliver yet another 50-plus point season.

Tufte scored twice in AHL Providence's 5-2 win over Utica on Saturday.

Tufte has secured a career-best year in the AHL with 27 goals and 48 points, as well as a plus-27 rating, over 54 appearances. He's slowed down a bit later, earning just three points over his last six contests. He was passed over for a call-up when the Bruins brought up Lukas Reichel to Boston, but Tufte has been pretty decent for much of the campaign.
