Eberle scored twice on three shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Eberle was initially credited with a natural hat trick, but a scoring change gave the Kraken's fourth goal to Matty Beniers. It was still a big showing for Eberle, who had gone three games without a point entering Saturday. He's now at 22 goals, 41 points (15 on the power play), 125 shots on net, 41 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 57 appearances. The 35-year-old winger remains a key part of the top six for Seattle.

Norris scored twice in a 6-2 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Norris had two goals in a 2:03 span of the first period; his second stood as the game-winner. The Olympic break probably helped him tremendously. Norris missed 24 games due to an upper body injury earlier in the season, and he sat outthree weeks before the break because of a rib injury. Norris has eight goals, 12 assists and 33 shots in 22 contests this season.

Daccord stopped 27 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Daccord allowed four goals in Wednesday's loss to the Stars, but he rebounded in his second start since the Olympic break. The 29-year-old netminder has won five of his last six outings, allowing two goals or fewer in each of those victories. For the season, he's up to a 17-13-5 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 35 starts. The Kraken are likely hoping for one of Daccord or Philipp Grubauer to grab hold of the starting job as they stay in the thick of the playoff race. The next game is a tough one, as the Kraken host the Hurricanes on Monday.

Metsa tallied a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Metsa intercepted a clearing attempt and scored on a wrist shot from above the hashmarks to push the score to 5-0 and chase Andrei Vasilevskiy from the net. Metsa recorded his second goal with the Sabres and his first multi-point NHL performance. He has four points through 29 outings with the big club this campaign.

Dahlin had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

The points were his first in three games since returning from representing Sweden at the Olympics. Dahlin opened the scoring with a wrist shot from the middle of the ice that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy. Dahlin sits seventh in NHL scoring from the blue line with 51 points (12 goals, 39 assists) in 56 games. He has 23 points, including eight goals, in his last 19 appearances. Dahlin should be a strong fantasy performer down the stretch.

Rielly scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday.

His last goal and point came against Seattle on Jan. 19, but a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury and the Olympic break are largely responsible for the gap in production. Rielly is on a low-to-mid 40-point pace, but his minus-17 hangs around his neck. The 31-year-old defender has eight goals, 32 points, 114 shots on net and 78 blocked shots through 57 appearances this season.

Evangelista recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Evangelista earned his first power-play point in nine games when he helped out on a Michael Bunting tally. The 24-year-old Evangelista continues to fill a playmaking role in the top six. He's up to 44 points (eight goals, 36 helpers), 125 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances this season. It's already a career year for the Toronto native, who should be able to push for the 60-point mark by the end of the campaign.

Bunting scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Bunting opened the scoring at 14:26 of the first period. That tally ended his 11-game goal drought, a span in which the winger logged just two assists and 27 shots on net. The 30-year-old is up to 13 goals, 31 points, 107 shots on net, 31 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 59 appearances. Bunting is trending toward a 40-point campaign, a mark he missed by two in 2024-25.

Stamkos scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Stamkos has five goals and two assists over his last five outings. The 36-year-old has netted 24 of his goals since the start of December, reversing what looked to be a second straight down season at the start of the campaign. Stamkos is back to the 30-goal mark for the 10th time in his 18 NHL seasons, and he's added 16 assists, 148 shots on net, 68 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 59 appearances.

Nylander scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday.

Nylander has three points (one goal, two assists) in three games since his return from playing for Sweden at the Olympics. He has eight shots in that span. Nylander continues to lead the Leafs in scoring with 55 points (19 goals, 36 assists) in just 43 games. Auston Matthews is the next-highest producer with 51 points in 54 appearances.
