  • Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Offers pair of helpers

    Draisaitl notched two assists, six shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Draisaitl has five goals and nine assists during his six-game point streak, including two tallies and five helpers on the power play. The 30-year-old is up to 94 points, 182 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-11 rating over 62 contests. Draisaitl is closing in on the seventh 100-point campaign of his career, which would be his fifth in a row once he gets there.

  • Oilers' Jack Roslovic: Lights lamp in win

    Roslovic scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Roslovic had gone five games without a goal, earning just one assist in that span. The 29-year-old's tally Tuesday tied the game at 2-2 late in the first period. He's up to 17 goals, 27 points, 108 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 52 appearances. Roslovic does best when he can play in a second-line role with Leon Draisaitl, but that's not guaranteed to happen all the time.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Pair of points in Tuesday's win

    McDavid scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Both points came on the power play. McDavid has two goals and 13 assists during his eight-game point streak, with six of those efforts including multiple points. The 29-year-old superstar is up to 36 tallies, 110 points (45 on the power play), 240 shots on net and a plus-13 rating across 65 appearances this season.

  • Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Scores twice in win

    Nugent-Hopkins scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Nugent-Hopkins has three goals over four contests in March. The 32-year-old is up to 17 tallies, 50 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 56 appearances this season. He's already surpassed his output of 49 points in 78 regular-season games from last year, and he should be able to push for the 20-goal and 60-point marks.

  • Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Earns win in relief

    Jarry allowed one goal on 12 shots in relief of Connor Ingram (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Jarry came into the game late in the second period after Ingram was knocked from the game due to a collision. Jarry allowed a tip-in goal by Valeri Nichushkin but was otherwise strong to pick up his first win since Jan. 26 versus the Ducks. The 30-year-old Jarry is up to 16-8-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 28 appearances this season. If Ingram misses time, Jarry is poised to operate as the clear No. 1 netminder for the Oilers. Next up is a back-to-back with games in Dallas on Thursday and in St. Louis on Friday.

  • Kaapo Kakko RW | SEA

    Kraken's Kaapo Kakko: Scores early in loss

    Kakko scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

    Kakko has three goals over his last six games. The 25-year-old is still playing on the third line, but he's chipping in some depth scoring. The winger is up to nine goals, 24 points, 64 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-9 rating across 46 appearances this season.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Scores again Tuesday

    Beniers scored a goal on three shots and added five PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

    Beniers put the Kraken ahead 2-0 in the first period. In the third, he participated in his first NHL fight, dropping the mitts with Justin Barron after the Nashville defenseman cross-checked Jared McCann. Beniers doesn't have much of an edge, which typically limits his fantasy value since he has pedestrian offense for a center. He's at 17 goals, 40 points, 121 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 63 appearances.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Can't maintain lead

    Daccord stopped 23 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Daccord was spotted a 2-0 lead within 10 minutes, but he couldn't make it stick after the Predators' three-goal second period. The 29-year-old has started five of the Kraken's seven games since the Olympic break, but he's 2-3-0 with 16 goals allowed on 159 shots in that span. Daccord is 18-15-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 38 starts. If he can't consistently get better results, Phillip Grubauer will likely get a chance to try to lead the Kraken into the playoffs. The Kraken have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Avalanche on Thursday.

  • Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Garners helper in win

    Svechkov notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Svechkov has two helpers over three games since he was called up to fill gaps created by Nashville's trades last week. The 22-year-old is filling a bottom-six role, but he should be able to stay in the lineup regularly down the stretch. He's earned 11 points, 57 shots on net, 44 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 52 appearances, down from his 17-point effort in 52 contests as a rookie last year.

  • Brady Skjei D | NSH

    Predators' Brady Skjei: Posts assist Tuesday

    Skjei notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Skjei helped out on Reid Schaefer's game-tying goal in the middle of the second period. The 31-year-old Skjei has two helpers over his last three contests, but he has gone 35 games without a goal. The blueliner is at 19 points, 91 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-9 rating through 64 appearances in a top-four role this season.
