Guenther scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Guenther saw his point streak snapped in Tuesday's shutout loss to the Wild, but he bounced back Thursday. His goal in this contest opened the scoring 5:47 into the second period. Guenther is up to 31 goals, 56 points, 202 shots on net, 50 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 64 appearances. He's producing at a similar rate to last season, though he has been a bit better as a finisher -- he could flirt with the 40-goal mark.

Knies had a goal and three assists in a 6-4 win over Anaheim on Thursday.

It was Knies' second career four-point game in the NHL. It was his first since Jan. 4, 2025, when he had five points (three goals, two assists) against Boston. Knies and William Nylander (two) are the only two Maple Leafs with multiple four-point games dating back to last season. He now has 55 points (17 goals, 38 assists) in 63 games, and he's on pace to flirt with 70 points this season.

Vejmelka stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Vejmelka has allowed 12 goals on 84 shots over his last three outings, and he's given up at least three goals in five of seven contests since the Olympics. The 29-year-old is still seeing significant playing time, though Vitek Vanecek has had some recent success that could allow him to ease Vejmelka's workload. For the season, Vejmelka is 30-17-3 with a 2.69 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 51 starts. The Mammoth host the Penguins on Saturday.

Vlasic notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Vlasic has earned three helpers over six games in March. The 24-year-old defenseman has gone 16 contests without a multi-point effort, but his offense looks to be improving. He's earned 17 points, 65 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 64 appearances this season, mainly in a top-four role with minimal power-play usage.

Bertuzzi scored a power-play goal on three shots and dished an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Bertuzzi continues to thrive with the man advantage. He has seven points over his last eight games, earning four of them on the power play. The 31-year-old winger is up to 28 goals, 49 points, a career-high 21 power-play points, 131 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-20 rating through 62 outings overall.

Nazar scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Nazar has earned three goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 22-year-old had struggled before the streak, but he's setting himself up to finish the season strong. He's up to 10 goals, 32 points (nine on the power play), 105 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-15 rating over 49 appearances.

Bedard scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

This outing gave Bedard two goals and five assists across six games in March. The superstar center is up to 27 goals, including four game-winners, as well as 35 assists, 172 shots on net, 38 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 52 appearances. Bedard is now just five points shy of matching his total from 82 contests a year ago.

Gibson made 24 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday. He allowed three goals.

Gibson did his part, but his mates faced arguably the best netminder in the league and a team bent on blocking shots. They couldn't buy goals. Gibson is 1-3-0 in his last four starts. It includes one shutout and nine goals allowed. Overall, the Wings have lost four of their last five games (1-3-1), but they remain in the first Wild Card spot with 79 points.

Knight stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Knight snapped a four-game skid with this performance, which was also his return from missing three contests due to an illness. The 24-year-old improved to 17-18-8 with a 2.61 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. Now that he's healthy, Knight is likely to handle a majority of the starts for the Blackhawks. They wrap up this brief road trip in Vegas on Saturday.

Kucherov put up two assists in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.

Kucherov has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) during a four-game streak. He reached the 1,100 point plateau with the points; he did it in 863 career games. Kucherov is the 14th player born outside of North America to reach the 1,100-point milestone and the fourth fastest on that list to do it. He's in heady company behind Peter Stastny (793 games), Jari Kurri (824 games) and Jaromir Jagr (825 games).
