Gibson turned aside 26 of 28 shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Gibson earned his first win since Mar. 8 with Tuesday's victory, where he bounced back in the second period and beyond after allowing the game's opening tally in the first. The win brought him up to a 25-15-3 record, a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 45 games this season. The 32-year-old netminder is on pace to make 50 appearances or more this season for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign. With the Red Wings finding their stride again, Gibson still has time to challenge his career-best 31 wins, which he earned across 60 regular-season appearances during the 2017-18 season. He holds solid fantasy value in most standard leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

Wolf stopped 20 of 24 shots on net in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Wolf kept the Red Wings off the scoreboard in the first period before allowing four tallies in the second, including three across the first seven minutes of the period. With Tuesday's loss, he now holds a 19-25-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in five of his last six appearances. While his overall play leaves room for improvement, the young netminder has had inconsistent defensive play in front of him, making his job difficult at times. Wolf's fantasy value is best utilized in deep fantasy leagues moving forward until he and the rest of the Flames take a step up. His next chance to bounce back is Wednesday's clash with the Blues, marking the team's first game at home since Mar. 7.

Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Kings, with Los Angeles' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The star netminder made some big saves to keep the game close, but two goals in a 28-second span during the second period -- one on a delayed penalty that gave the Kings an extra attacker, the other on an actual power play -- sealed the deal for the visitors. It was Shesterkin's first regulation loss since the Olympic break, and over his last eight starts, he's gone 5-1-2 with a 2.71 GAA and .913 save percentage.

Anderson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers.

The 26-year-old blueliner headed to the net on a delayed New York penalty early in the second period and banged a rebound past Igor Shesterkin for what proved to be his first GWG of the season, and just the fifth of his career. Anderson isn't known for his offense, but he has two multi-point performances in the last seven games as part of a surprising surge that's seen him deliver two goals and six points over that span while also producing 19 hits, 18 blocked shots and four shots on net.

Byfield picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

The 23-year-old center also added three shots on net, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. The points were Byfield's first in six games since he missed the first couple contests in March due to an upper-body injury, and on the season, he's managed 13 goals, 35 points, 138 shots on net, 51 hits, 40 PIM, 36 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 64 games.

Laferriere scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

The 24-year-old winger produced his first multi-point effort since Jan. 24 in St. Louis, as he had a hand in goals just 28 seconds apart early in the second period before feeding Trevor Moore for an empty-netter late in the third. The power-play goal was Laferriere's second of the season, but both of them have come in March as he takes advantage of the absence of Kevin Fiala (lower leg). Over the last nine games, Laferriere has four goals and six points.

Kuemper turned aside 21 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

It took a third-period power play for New York to spoil Kuemper's shutout bid, as Vincent Trocheck tipped home a point shot from the slot. Kuemper has just one regulation loss in March, going 3-1-1 in five starts with a 2.41 GAA and .905 save percentage as the Kings try to claim a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Brown scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Both points came in the second period, as Brown got the Devils on the board after they'd handed the visitors a 2-0 lead in the first. Brown has found a groove since the Olympic break while skating in a top-six role and seeing regular power-play shifts, and over the last eight games, he's produced two goals and nine points.

Cotter scored two goals, one the overtime winner, in Monday's 4-3 victory over the Bruins.

The 26-year-old produced his first multi-goal performance in over a calendar year, converting a slick feed from Maxim Tsyplakov early in the third period before beating Joonas Korpisalo on a breakaway with just seven seconds left in OT. Cotter also dished three hits in the game, and that's his more usual contribution in the box score -- through 64 games this season, he sits just outside the top 20 in the NHL with 171 hits, adding eight goals, 13 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-17 rating while mainly skating in a bottom-six role.

Hughes notched three assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Boston.

After helping to set up second-period tallies by Connor Brown and Jesper Bratt, Hughes was the one who got the puck to Paul Cotter for a game-winning breakaway in OT. Hughes is still riding the momentum from his Golden Goal at the Olympics, recording multiple points in four of seven games in March while compiling five goals and 12 points so far this month.
