Winterton scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Winterton has three points over his last five games after spending three contests in the press box. The 22-year-old forward is doing well in a fourth-line role when he gets to play, though he's had to share the spot with Jacob Melanson lately. Winterton is up to four goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 57 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 61 appearances. His goal Sunday was his first career game-winner.

Meyers scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Meyers opened the scoring at 5:28 of the first period, deflecting in a Ryan Winterton shot. The two reversed roles on the third goal of the frame as Meyers set up Winterton for what would be the game-winner. With four points over seven outings in March, Meyers has done well from a fourth-line role. The 27-year-old is now at seven goals, eight assists, 54 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances this season.

Catton scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Catton snapped an 11-game point drought, which also included a three-game stint on injured reserve. The 20-year-old has been in above his head a bit this season, though he has maintained a third-line role lately. Catton is now at six goals, 13 points, 59 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over his first 50 NHL contests.

McMann scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

McMann did his damage in the third period, scoring midway through the frame before setting up Jamie Oleksiak on a play at the top of the crease a few minutes later. If there was any doubt about McMann's fit with the Kraken, he has dispelled it quickly with five points over his first two games wearing the tentacled S. For the season, the winger has 22 goals, 15 assists, six power-play points, 133 shots on net, 141 hits and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances between Seattle and Toronto.

Kakko scored a goal on four shots and added two assists in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Kakko earned one of his helpers on the power play. The 25-year-old was one of six multi-point performers in this comprehensive win for the Kraken. Kakko has three goals and two assists over seven outings in March while filling a middle-six role. He's up to 10 goals, 27 points, 70 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-10 rating across 49 contests this season.

Daccord stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Daccord was a little better than that stat line suggests -- the Panthers' second goal came just before the final buzzer. The Kraken never trailed in the game, allowing Daccord to break out of a three-game skid in which he allowed 13 goals on 78 shots. The 29-year-old netminder improved to 19-16-5 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 40 appearances. With both Daccord and Philipp Grubauer coming off wins, it's not clear which goalie will get the nod for Tuesday's tough home matchup versus the Lightning.

Svechkov scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.

Svechkov has a goal and three assists over five games since he was recalled from AHL Milwaukee. His tally Sunday kept Nashville from getting shut out by Connor Ingram. Svechkov is still playing in a bottom-six role, so it's not wise to count on his offense to last in the long run. He's at three goals, 13 points, 58 shots on net, 47 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Annunen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Juuse Saros typically struggles against Edmonton, so the Predators turned to Annunen for this game. Despite the loss, the 26-year-old put in a good effort to keep the game close, but his teammates didn't give him enough support. Annunen is 2-3-0 with 11 goals allowed on 122 shots over his last five appearances. For the season, the Finnish netminder is 6-9-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 21 outings, numbers mostly in line with what he did last year. Expect Saros to get the nod versus the Jets on Tuesday.

McDavid notched three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

McDavid's first helper was on the power play, and all three assists were primaries. Since the Olympics, the superstar center has three goals and 15 helpers over 10 contests. He's now at 37 goals, 77 assists, 247 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 68 appearances this season. At his season-long scoring pace (1.68 points per game), he would earn another 23 points over the last 14 games of the regular season, which would give him the second-highest scoring season of his career if he's able to play at that lofty level.

Savoie scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Savoie notably stayed on the top line despite Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence. The plum assignment helped Savoie snap an eight-game goal drought, a span in which he still mustered five assists. The 22-year-old is growing in confidence and responsibility, and he's a high-end pick-up in fantasy if he stays on the top line moving forward. For the season, the Alberta native has 11 goals, 27 points, 98 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 68 outings.
