Knight made 33 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Minnesota grabbed a 3-1 lead in the first period, but Knight stood tall over the next 40 minutes to give Chicago a chance to tie it up. There wasn't much the 24-year-old netminder could do on Mats Zuccarello's one-timer from the slot in overtime. Knight has just one win in his last seven outings, going 1-4-2 over that stretch with a 2.96 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Ullmark is expected to start on the road against Washington on Wednesday, per Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site.

Ullmark has a 21-9-7 record, 2.81 GAA and .885 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. He's gone 4-1-0 across his past five appearances while stopping 99 of 111 shots (.892 save percentage). Washington hasn't looked great over its past seven games, going 2-4-1 while averaging 2.43 goals per match.

Faber pocketed three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

After having a hand in first-period tallies by Ryan Hartman and Vladimir Tarasenko, Faber picked up his third helper on Mats Zuccarello's game-winner. The three-point effort was a season high for the 23-year-old blueliner. He has delivered one goal and nine points in his last 11 games. Faber needs one more point to tie the career-high 47 he produced as a rookie in 2023-24.

Johansson scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

After picking up two points in the first period, while the Wild surged out to a 3-1 lead, Johansson set up Mats Zuccarello for the game-winner. It was Johansson's most productive performance since Dec. 29, when he erupted for four points against the Golden Knights. His goal in Tuesday's contest also snapped a 15-game drought. On the season, the veteran winger has 14 goals and 43 points in 62 contests, and he still has a shot at recording his first 50-point performance since the 2016-17 regular season.

Wallstedt stopped both shots he faced in relief of Filip Gustavsson during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

Gustavsson left the ice for a little over three minutes during the third period due to an equipment issue, and Wallstedt held down the fort until he returned. Wallstedt hasn't won a game since Jan. 31 and has fallen behind Gustavsson in the pecking order for the Wild. However, the 23-year-old Wallstedt has a 2.20 GAA and .922 save percentage over four outings in March despite a record of 0-1-2.

Gustavsson turned aside 21 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

The 27-year-old netminder briefly left the game in the third period for some equipment maintenance, but Gustavsson returned to the crease in time to collect the victory. Gustavsson has allowed three goals or fewer in six of seven outings since returning from the Olympics, going 5-2-0 with a stellar 1.88 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Hutson picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

The star blueliner had a hand in Montreal's final two tallies, including Cole Caufield's game-winner. Hutson has gotten onto the scoresheet in seven of eight games in March, piling up one goal and 10 points. He remains on pace for his first 80-point campaign with 69 points (11 goals, 58 assists) through 67 contests.

Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston.

The 26-year-old center got Montreal on the board midway through the first period, getting the puck right on Jeremy Swayman's doorstep and flipping a backhand past the netminder. Suzuki also set up Cole Caufield's game-winner. Suzuki has five multi-point performances in 10 games since returning from the Olympics. Tuesday's effort pushed him up to 80 points (24 goals, 56 assists) on the season, marking the second straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone.

Sherwood scored a goal, registered an assist, put two shots on net, served two PIM and recorded two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

Sherwood recorded his second multi-point game in March by earning an assist in the first period and a goal in the second stanza. The 30-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, eight assists, 139 shots on net, 270 hits and 27 blocked shots across 56 games this season. After setting the single-season hit record a year ago, Sherwood is on track to finish in the league's top two in the category again this season. His offensive production of six points over his last eight games has been a nice bonus in fantasy, where he profiles as a solid player in most formats and an elite player in banger leagues.

Caufield scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Bruins.

With just 22 seconds left in the extra frame, Caufield redirected a Nick Suzuki pass past Jeremy Swayman and into the net. It was the 40th goal of the season for Caufield, marking the first time in his career that he has reached that plateau. He also became the first Montreal player to hit 40 since Vincent Damphousse did it in 1993-94. Caufield has been locked in since the Olympic break, collecting eight goals and 11 points. Given his current pace, 10 more goals in the Canadiens' final 15 contests to get to 50 doesn't seem impossible.
