Hamilton scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Blues.

The veteran blueliner gave the Devils a 2-0 lead with 16 seconds left in the second period as he ripped a shot from the high slot past Jordan Binnington. Hamilton has put a sluggish start to the campaign well behind him, and over the last 15 games, he's collected three goals and 13 points, including six points (two goals, four assists) with the man advantage.

Markstrom stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The veteran netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Markstrom spoiled it himself by getting greedy -- he tried to go for the open St. Louis net with less than 90 seconds left, but his shot didn't get past Pavel Buchnevich, who eventually scored after Pius Suter retrieved the loose puck. Markstrom has given up three goals or fewer in eight of his last 10 starts, going 6-4-0 over that stretch with a 2.40 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Fabbri has been placed on waivers and designated a non-roster player, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Sunday.

The return of Robert Thomas (leg) from injured reserve means that someone had to clear the roster logjam. That was Fabbri, desginated a non-roster player and likely headed for AHL Springfield, if he clears waivers. The 30-year-old has appeared in 15 games with the Blues, notching a goal and three assists in those contests.

Silovs will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Sunday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Silovs will get the second half of Pittsburgh's back-to-back after Stuart Skinner played in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers. The 24-year-old Silovs has won his last two outings while allowing only three goals on 57 shots. He has a 12-7-8 record this season with a 2.86 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 27 appearances. Vegas is tied for eighth in the league with 3.36 goals per game this campaign.

Misa scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over Edmonton.

The teenage rookie was the only Shark to produce multiple points on the afternoon. Misa gave his squad a 2-0 lead midway through the first period with his first career power-play tally, then helped set up Shakir Mukhamadullin for the game-winner in the third. Misa is beginning to live up to his pedigree as the second overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, delivering two goals and eight points over the last 10 games.

Mayfield tallied a goal, recorded an assist and fired four shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.

Mayfield recorded his first multi-point game of the season Saturday with a goal six minutes after sliding the primary assist on Anders Lee's tally in the second period. With the pair of points, Mayfield now has two goals, eight assists, 74 shots on net, 55 hits and 66 blocked shots across 58 appearances this season. While he has the category-coverage stats needed for deep leagues, his limited contributions on offense make him tough to trust in fantasy.

Thomas (leg) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Following a 13-game absence, Thomas appears ready to return to the lineup against Minnesota on Sunday. He has accounted for 11 goals, 33 points, 60 shots on net and 23 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season.

Askarov made 20 saves in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

It wasn't pretty, but Askarov did just enough to secure his 18th win of the season, and first since Jan. 27, after the Sharks had taken a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 23-year-old netminder needs all the offensive support he can get right now -- Askarov has allowed at least three goals in 20 of 21 outings since the beginning of December, going 9-10-1 with a rough 4.02 GAA and .868 save percentage.

Bouchard scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

The 26-year-old blueliner has remained red hot since the Olympics, racking up two goals and six points in three games since the NHL schedule resumed. Over the last 10 games, Bouchard has erupted for six goals and 21 points. With 69 points (17 goals, 52 assists) through 61 contests, he has already surpassed the 67 points he amassed over 82 regular-season games in 2024-25. That surge has also seen Bouchard blow past Cale Makar and Zach Werenski to take over the NHL scoring lead among defensemen.

McDavid pocketed three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

The 29-year-old superstar had a helper in each period, but Edmonton's defense was porous all afternoon. McDavid has produced multiple points in three straight games since returning from the Olympics, and he remains firmly in the Hart Trophy mix with 35 goals and a league-leading 103 points through 61 games,
