Saros stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Saros ended a slide in which he was winless over his last four outings, allowing 17 goals in that span. The 30-year-old netminder still made it interesting by allowing two goals in the third period, but the Bruins ran out of time on their comeback effort. Saros is up to 22-18-6 with a 3.18 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 47 starts this season. The Predators kick off a road trip Saturday in Buffalo.

Hellebuyck made 26 saves in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Hellebuyck is undefeated in regulation (2-0-2) since his gold-medal domination at the 2026 Olympics. But the Jets have already started to strip off parts, especially with Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley headed out of town. Hellebuyck will suffer a bit with those two pillars on D headed out of town.

Carlson (lower body) was traded to the Ducks from the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a conditional first-round pick and a 2026 third-round pick.

Carlson had played his entire career with the Capitals since he was drafted 27th overall in 2008. He ranks fifth in franchise history with 771 points and is second in team history with 1,143 games played. This stunning trade will see Carlson head out west, where he'll provide valuable offense as well as veteran experience on a young Ducks team that also has Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas on the right side of the blue line. Carlson's status is uncertain due to his injury, but once he's ready to play, he should be in a top-four role and on one of Anaheim's two power-play units. Carlson will be a free agent this summer.

Nyquist scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay.

It's Nyquist's first goal of the season and first as a Jet. It came in his 40th game this season. His time as a source of secondary scoring seems to be over. Nyquist has just 10 points this season after putting up 28 in 81 games last year. It's easy to forget his career-best 75 points in 2023-24.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Vasilevskiy has lost three straight games and allowed 12 goals in that span, while the Bolts have lost four straight. Despite the slump, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Vasilevskiy is 28-10-3 with a 2.28 GAA and .914 save percentage in 41 games this season.

Point scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Point buried the rebound after Darren Raddysh hammered a point shot off the end boards and back into the slot. It was his 15th snipe of the season. Point has points in four of the five games since the break and seven points, including four goals, and 10 shots in that span.

Carrick was traded to the Sabres from the Rangers in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

The Sabres continue to stock up at the deadline and will boost their bottom six with a defensive center who can win faceoffs at a high rate. Carrick has struggled with the Rangers, posting just 10 points in 60 contests. He's added 86 hits, 53 PIM and 56 shots on net. Carrick won't move the needle in fantasy, but he can certainly help Buffalo's on-ice situation with his skill set.

Maccelli scored a goal in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

Maccelli is on a four-game, four-point scoring streak (two goals, two assists). The winger has been in and out of head coach Craig Berube's dog house for the entire season, but play like this will keep him on the ice. Maccelli's ice time shot up to 19:32 against the Rangers. He has 12 goals, 16 assists and 71 shots in 52 games this season.

Rosen, Jacob Bryson, a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick were traded to the Jets from the Sabres on Thursday in exchange for Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

Rosen has dominated the AHL this season with 25 goals and 18 assists over 37 contests. He also has seven points in 16 NHL contests for the Sabres, but he was unable to carve out a steady role in Buffalo amid the team's all-around success this season. While the Jets haven't officially announced where Rosen will begin his tenure in their organization, it seems likely he will get an NHL look at some time between now and the end of the regular season. The 22-year-old should be on the radar in fantasy, as he could get a big opportunity once he's on the NHL roster.

Cowan scored a goal Thursday in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Cowan stepped into a top-six gig and performed immediately. He has a modest two-game, two-point streak on the go. Cowan is 22nd on the NHL rookie scoring list with 19 points, including eight goals. But he could climb that list quickly if he sticks with John Tavares and Matthew Knies.
