  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Nets goal vs. Detroit

    Lundell scored a goal and took five shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.

    Lundell scored a goal for the first time since March 23, when he found the back of the net in a 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins, but overall, the 23-year-old has been far from a productive scoring option for the Panthers in recent weeks. Lundell has been limited to only four points (three goals, one assist) in his last 17 contests, but this goal Sunday allowed him to tie his previous career-high mark of 44 points established over 65 appearances in his rookie year in 2021-22. Lundell has five games left to set a new career-high mark in that category, and one more goal would also tie his previous career-best mark in scoring.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Extends point streak in win

    Pinto tallied a goal, fired three shots on net and dished out five hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Pinto tallied an empty-net goal with just under a minute remaining in regulation for the final tally of the game. With his goal, Pinto extended his point streak to three games and he has five points in his last six contests. Overall, the 24-year-old center has 18 goals, 33 points and 120 shots on net in 65 appearances this season. His fifth season in the NHL has been a small step forward offensively. While his chance of setting a new career high in points will come down to the wire, Pinto is averaging points at a higher pace than his career-best year of 35 points in 82 contests during the 2022-23 season. Pinto provides solid value in deeper leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Blues' Alexandre Texier: Slated to sit Monday

    Texier (upper body) isn't expected to play versus Winnipeg on Monday, per Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.

    Texier will miss his second straight game due to an upper-body issue. He has played in only four of the last 24 games because of injury, healthy scratches and an illness. Texier has six goals, 11 points, 50 shots on net and 20 hits across 31 appearances this season. Once healthy, it may be challenging for Texier to secure a spot in the lineup.

  • Senators' Adam Gaudette: Ends goal drought Sunday

    Gaudette scored a goal and tallied two shots on net in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Gaudette tallied the first goal of the contest at 2:24 of the first period. With the tally, the 28-year-old center has 17 goals, 24 points and 87 shots on net in 76 appearances this season. Sunday's goal ended a 23-game skid without a goal and a 12-game point drought. Despite the offensive drought, Gaudette has posted the second-best point total of his career. Due to his limited ice time in a fourth-line role, it is best to seek out other options in fantasy for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Jordan Staal C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Practice Monday

    Staal (lower body) practiced with the Hurricanes ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Buffalo but remains questionable, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Staal was originally ruled out for the entirety of the Hurricanes' four-game road trip, but could still be an option to suit up Tuesday in Buffalo or Thursday in Washington. Regardless of his status Tuesday, the fact that the veteran center was back on the ice would seem to be a positive step in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, Staal was mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he generated two helpers, 10 shots and 10 hits.

  • Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Sent to AHL

    Robidas was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Robidas made his NHL debut against the Red Wings on Friday and also appeared in Saturday's game against Boston. Over those two appearances, he recorded a goal, an assist and two hits while averaging 11:09 of ice time. Despite his production, he'll head back to the minors, which could mean that some of the Hurricanes' injured forwards will be ready to return soon.

  • David Kampf C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' David Kampf: Ruled out through road trip

    Head coach Craig Berube said Monday that Kampf (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Panthers and Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Kampf sustained an upper-body injury against the Panthers last Wednesday and didn't suit up for Saturday's matchup against Columbus. While he was on the ice for Monday's practice session, he'll be unavailable for at least two more games. After the Maple Leafs' next two road matchups, they'll return home to face the Canadiens on Saturday, but it's not yet clear whether Kampf will be in the mix to return for that game.

  • Matt Rempe C | NYR

    Rangers' Matt Rempe: Ready to rock

    Rempe (upper body) will play against Tampa Bay on Monday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

    Rempe will return to a bottom-six role after missing the last four games. He has contributed two goals, three assists, 25 shots on net, 63 PIM and 103 hits across 36 NHL outings this season. Rempe could replace Brett Berard in Monday's lineup.

  • Marco Rossi C | MIN

    Wild's Marco Rossi: Nets OT winner

    Rossi scored the game-winning goal, dished an assist and had five shots on net in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.

    Rossi helped fuel the late comeback for the Wild with a primary helper on Marcus Foligno's goal in the third period. In overtime, Rossi tallied the game-winning goal in just under a minute to seal the win. With his pair of points Sunday, the 23-year-old center is up to 24 goals, 34 assists and 133 shots on net in 78 games this season. Rossi's fourth season in the NHL has been a leap forward offensively. He has 58 points and has been a strong presence on Minnesota's top line amid the injuries the team has faced. He has value in all league formats to wrap up the fantasy season.

  • Pius Suter C | VAN

    Canucks' Pius Suter: Sends helper in loss

    Suter notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Suter continues to operate as the first-line center and set up Nils Hoglander for the opening tally in this contest. The 28-year-old Suter has 14 points over 13 games dating back to March 12 versus the Flames. He's spent a large portion of that stretch on the first line following injuries to Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (concussion). Suter is up to 43 points, 120 shots on net, 57 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 76 appearances this season.
