  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Offers helper in loss

    Celebrini notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

    Celebrini ended a three-game dry spell on offense when he assisted on Tyler Toffoli's second-period tally. The goal drought is up to seven games for Celebrini, but he remains firmly in a top-six role. He has four assists in that span, so it's not like he's hit a wall late in the season. The rookie center is at 21 goals, 33 helpers, 214 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 32 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-31 rating over 63 outings.

  • Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Posts helper in win

    Janmark notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

    Janmark ended a 13-game point drought with his assist on a Jeff Skinner tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Janmark continues to see steady usage in a middle-six role, but it's mostly for his defensive skills, not his scoring. He's at 18 points, 47 shots on net, 38 hits, 33 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 73 contests this season.

    Oilers' Connor Brown: Opens scoring Thursday

    Brown scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

    Brown snapped an 11-game goal drought with the opening tally in this contest. Over that span, he was limited to two assists and 17 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger has mainly played in a middle-six role with minimal power-play usage, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as a surprise. He's up to nine goals, 26 points, 104 shots, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 75 appearances this season. Brown is one of four Oilers to have played in every game so far, along with Evan Bouchard, Vasily Podkolzin and Brett Kulak.

  • Jets' Mason Appleton: Picks up assist

    Appleton notched an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Appleton has two goals and an assist over his last five contests. The 29-year-old has seen an uptick in playing time recently as the Jets manage without Gabriel Vilardi (upper body). Most of Appleton's gains have come with his spot on the second power-play unit, though he hasn't produced a point there. He's at 10 goals, 12 helpers, 99 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-10 rating over 65 appearances this season.

  • Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Five-game, seven-point streak

    Geekie picked up an assist Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Montreal.

    He has seven points (three goals, four assists) on a five-game point streak. Geekie has quietly delivered a career season with 27 goals, 18 assists and 135 shots in 71 games. He's actually tied for second in team scoring with Pavel Zacha with 45 points, second only to David Pastrnak, who has 89. Center is deep, but Geekie may help short-term, especially in formats that roll F instead of C.

  • Jets' Cole Perfetti: Goal streak at three games

    Perfetti scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Perfetti scored for the third game in a row, and he's added seven shots and seven hits in that span. This one was an empty-netter, but they all count the same for fantasy managers relying on the young winger for depth scoring. Since March 7, he has six goals, five assists, 27 shots and 14 hits over 13 contests. He's now at 18 goals, 48 points, 132 shots, 68 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 76 appearances this season.

  • Adam Lowry C | WPG

    Jets' Adam Lowry: Tallies in win

    Lowry scored a goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Lowry has a goal and two assists over his last five contests, a good stretch to shake off the six-game slump that came before it. The 32-year-old is up to 15 goals on the year, matching his career-high total from 2016-17. He's added 17 helpers, 93 shots on net, 126 hits, 56 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 68 appearances. He continues to handle middle-six minutes, but his lack of power-play time means he probably won't do much more than he has lately on offense.

  • Jets' Mark Scheifele: Buries opening goal Thursday

    Scheifele scored a goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Scheifele opened the scoring at 13:01 of the first period. The 32-year-old had his five-game point streak snapped in a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Tuesday, but it didn't take him long to bounce back. Scheifele is talented, but he's been more of playmaker since the start of March, earning four goals and 12 assists over his last 16 outings. For the season, he's at 37 goals, 82 points, 160 shots on net, 69 hits, 54 blocked shots, 57 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 76 appearances.

  • Nick Suzuki C | MON

    Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Three multipoint games in row

    Suzuki had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Boston on Thursday.

    Suzuki has three multipoint games in a row for the fourth time this season. The last time a Montreal player pulled that off was in 1995-96, when Vincent Damphousse did it. Suzuki has 81 points (26 goals, 55 assists) in 75 games, and he's the first Canadiens player to hit the 80-point mark since Alex Kovalev had 84 in 2007-08.

  • Ryan Strome C | ANA

    Ducks' Ryan Strome: Bags apple in loss

    Strome logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

    Strome is still in a 15-game goal drought, and he's been limited to four assists, 20 shots and 16 PIM in that span. The 31-year-old hasn't lost his top-six role, but he's gotten to be too risky for most fantasy formats if he can't contribute offense more consistently. The center is up to 40 points (10 goals, 30 assists), 128 shots on net, 56 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 75 outings this season.
