Rotowire

The 35-year-old defenseman set up Mark Stone on what ended up as the game-winning goal in the second period. Pietrangelo is up to 30 points on the year, reaching that mark for the fourth year in a row -- it's a level he's never missed in a full-length season as an NHL regular, falling short of 30 in just the abbreviated 2012-13 and 2020-21 campaigns. He's added 118 shots on net, 130 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-10 rating over 66 outings this season.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Roy: Nets 10th goal of season
Rotowire
Roy scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
Roy got on the ice for a late shift with the Golden Knights' top players and cashed in on a pass from Ivan Barbashev. This was Roy's fourth point in the last seven games. The 28-year-old remains in a bottom-six role at even strength, but his goal Saturday got him to double digits for the fourth year in a row. He's at 10 goals, 25 points, 85 shots on net, 60 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 58 appearances this season.
Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Stone scored a goal on three shots, dished two power-play assists, added two PIM, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
Stone's goal in the second period also ended up being his fourth game-winner of the campaign.

For the season, he's at 18 goals, 43 helpers, 113 shots on net and a plus-20 rating through 55 appearances. While he has missed some time in 2024-25, Stone has been healthy enough to cross the 60-point threshold for the first time since 2020-21. He's still got enough time to take a run at his career-high 73 points from 2018-19, but that might be a bit of a long shot.

Rotowire
Eichel scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added three assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

This was a signature performance for the 28-year-old center, who secured a career year and reached the 600-point mark in his career all in the same game, which was the 607th of his career. It's also his fifth multi-point effort over 10 outings in March, giving him three goals and 13 assists for the month. Eichel is up to 22 goals, 64 helpers, 33 power-play points, 208 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating through 68 appearances in 2024-25. He's already established a new personal best in points for a single season, surpassing his previous high of 82 in 2018-19, and he might reach the century mark for the first time.

Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Second hat trick this month
Rotowire
Hertl scored three goals on four shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.
Two of Hertl's tallies came on the power play. He scored the Golden Knights' first two goals of the contest and then struck again midway through the second period as Vegas took full control of the game. It's his second hat trick in March, a month that's seen him score seven times while adding five assists over 10 outings. For the season, the 31-year-old center has reached the 30-goal mark for the third time in his career, and he's at 58 points (23 on the power play), 165 shots on net, 96 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 69 appearances. He could challenge his career high of 35 goals from the 2018-19 campaign, but his personal-best 74-point total from that season is likely out of reach this year.
