Barron picked up two assists in Sunday's 3-2 win over St. Louis.

The bottom-six forward produced his first multi-point performance since Oct. 13, as he had a hand in tallies by Haydn Fleury in the first period and Kyle Connor in the third. Barron has found a bit of an offensive spark in March, and through eight games this month, he's delivered three goals and five points along with 17 hits, 11 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating.

Fleury scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

The stay-at-home defenseman produced his first points of the season in his 25th game, while his first-period goal marked the first time he'd lit the lamp in the NHL since Dec. 19, 2023 -- coincidentally, also against St. Louis as part of a two-point performance. Fleury has been getting a regular shift in March after Winnipeg dealt away Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn at the trade deadline. Over eight games this month, he's produced 17 hits, nine blocked shots, eight shots on net and a minus-3 rating.

Comrie stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

He was by far the busier of the two netminders as the Jets got out-shot 31-16 on the afternoon, but Comrie took a shutout into the third before seeing it spoiled by Dalibor Dvorsky. Comrie hasn't lost a game since Jan. 1, going 5-0-0 over his last five starts with a dazzling 1.39 GAA and .946 save percentage in that span. Head coach Scott Arniel has also been very careful with his deployment -- none of those starts have come against teams currently in line for a playoff spot, and Comrie has beaten St. Louis (29th overall) twice during his hot streak while also downing Vancouver (32nd), Los Angeles (24th) and Florida (23rd).

Markstrom will be between the pipes at home versus the Bruins on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom got the night off Saturday against the Kings after having appeared in the seven previous contests. In those outings, the veteran netminder went 4-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA. With the Devils seemingly out of playoff contention, the team could pull back on how much it uses Markstrom down the stretch and spread the workload out with Jake Allen.

Gauthier scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Gauthier stepped up late in the third period to give the Ducks a comeback win with a snap shot at the 17:30 mark of the final frame. Gauthier has been moved to the third line following the return of Troy Terry, but he should still find tons of chances to keep producing. The 22-year-old Gauthier is having a career-best season in 2025-26 with career-best marks in goals (34), assists (25), points (59) and shots on goal (246) with several weeks still left to play in the season. Gauthier has a realistic shot at reaching the 70-point threshold after putting up 44 across 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25.

Carlsson scored two goals on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Carlsson, who snapped a four-game goal drought with this performance, broke the deadlock for the Ducks at the 7:46 mark of the first period with a snap shot and later doubled the team's tally just 27 seconds into the second frame. Carlsson also stepped up late in the second frame to assist Troy Terry's goal, his first since Jan. 2 in his return to the lineup. Carlsson has appeared in every game for the Ducks since the league resumed following the Olympics and is up to 11 points (five goals, six assists) over his last 11 outings, a span in which he's also racked up a minus-2 rating and 35 shots on goal.

Dvorsky scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

The 20-year-old rookie got the Blues on the board early in the third period by re-directing a pass from Jonatan Berggren past Eric Comrie. It was Dvorsky's first NHL point since Jan. 31, snapping a 10-game drought, while he also ended a 13-game run without scoring a goal. On the season, the 10th overall pick from 2023 has 10 goals and 16 points in 56 contests.

Binnington made 13 saves on 16 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

The St. Louis defense did its job, allowing no more than six shots in any period, but Binnington gave up two goals in the first eight minutes of the game and his offense was never able to catch up. The veteran netminder still hasn't allowed more than three goals in a start since the Olympic break, going 2-2-0 in four starts with a 2.06 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Terry recorded a goal, two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Terry returned to the lineup Sunday after a nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and after suiting up in just three of the Ducks' previous 23 contests. The 28-year-old forward couldn't have asked for a better return to the ice, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals and scored a key equalizer late in the second period. Terry is up to 14 goals and 34 assists on the season, and he should remain a productive top-six forward for a rising Ducks team as long as he stays healthy.

Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

Dostal allowed three goals over the opening 13 minutes of the second period, but he closed the door effectively the rest of the way, allowing the Ducks to mount a comeback. Dostal has been playing at a high level since before the Olympic break, although his numbers are a bit underwhelming when you look past the win-loss record. Even though Dostal has won eight of his previous 10 starts (8-2-0), he owns a 3.44 GAA and a subpar .874 save percentage over that span.
