Zacha scored three goals, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

The 28-year-old center found the back of the net in each regulation period, but Zacha didn't get a chance to produce one more in OT as Thomas Novak ended the game just 17 seconds into the extra frame. The hat trick was the second of Zacha's career, and the power-play tally was his career-high seventh of the season. Over the course of a five-game point streak, he's collected four goals and eight points, and he's now at 19 tallies and 45 points through 60 contests overall.

Korpisalo made 34 saves on 39 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.

The Bruins had built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, but it slipped away late as Korpisalo was beaten three times on 14 shots in the third period, before Thomas Novak ripped a shot past him just 17 seconds into OT. Korpisalo has given up five goals in back-to-back starts, and over his last five outings he's gone 1-1-3 with a shaky 3.97 GAA and .874 save percentage.

MacKinnon scored his league-leading 43rd goal of the season and also potted the shootout winner in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Wild.

The 30-year-old superstar opened the scoring midway through the second period, snapping a quick shot from the faceoff circle past Jesper Wallstedt, and MacKinnon then beat the young netminder again to his glove side in the fourth round of the shootout. The goal extended MacKinnon's point streak to seven games dating back to Feb. 4, the Avalanche's last game before the Olympic break. Over that stretch, he's racked up three goals and 13 points. His 104 points on the season are second only to Connor McDavid's 108.

Wedgewood turned aside 32 of 34 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

The 33-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, and Wedgewood capped another strong performance with a big blocker save on Vladimir Tarasenko in the final round of the shootout. Wedgewood has won four straight outings, including one in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood, and he's allowed just five goals on 102 shots (.951 save percentage) during his win streak.

Wallstedt stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.

The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and an .882 save percentage.

Brunet signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with Boston on Monday.

It's a two-way contract for the 2026-27 season before becoming a one-way agreement for the 2027-28 season. Brunet has produced 11 goals and 28 points in 55 appearances for AHL Providence this campaign. He made his NHL debut with Boston in 2024-25, posting five blocked shots in 14:23 of ice time against New Jersey on April 15, 2025.

Shine scored a goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

In his 14th career NHL game, Shine tallied his first goal to seal the deal for Detroit in Sunday's contest. The 32-year-old winger has scored 96 goals and recorded 221 points across 10 seasons with AHL Grand Rapids. He has scored 21 of those goals this season, proving that his first tally at the NHL level was no fluke. He'll likely stay up with the Wings until Dylan Larkin (leg) or David Perron (groin) are ready to return.

Kane dished out two assists and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Kane picked up a helper on each of Detroit's first two goals Sunday, including James van Riemsdyk's power-play tally in the second period. With the pair of apples, Kane is up to 27 assists, 36 points, 121 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 49 games this season. Since the Olympic break, the 37-year-old winger has a goal, three assists and 15 shots on net across six games. When healthy, he's made a solid impact offensively with 0.73 points per game, which ranks fourth on the team. He should continue to put himself and others in good positions for scoring chances from the Red Wings' top line, giving him solid fantasy value across standard leagues.

Van Riemsdyk tallied a power-play goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Van Riemsdyk's second-period tally ended his 12-game goal drought. With the two-point effort, he is up to 15 goals, 12 assists, 86 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 55 games this season. The 17-year NHL veteran is eight goals away from the 350 in his career, which could be attainable this season if he stays involved from a bottom-six role down the stretch. The 36-year-old winger isn't the scorer he once was, but he can still provide solid streaming value in fantasy periodically.

Seider scored a goal, supplied two assists and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Seider netted Detroit's first goal of the contest in the opening period before he later recorded a helper in each of the final two frames. Sunday's effort was his second three-point outing of the campaign and brought him up to eight goals, 36 assists, 137 shots on net, 103 hits and 142 blocked shots over 64 games this season. With the Red Wings trending towards ending their playoff drought, Seider should continue to operate at the heart of the team and post elite category-coverage stats for fantasy purposes.
