O'Reilly logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

O'Reilly snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Luke Evangelista's second goal of the game. The 34-year-old O'Reilly remains in a top-line role, but his offense has turned shaky again after a strong start to March. He's put together a decent year despite the Predators' struggles, earning 43 points, 129 shots on net and 63 blocked shots over 68 appearances, but his minus-20 rating remains a significant concern. On the positive side, he's only minus-1 while adding eight points over 13 appearances in March.

Appleton scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

Appleton snapped an eight-game pointless drought with a goal at the 19:48 mark of the second period. This was his ninth goal of the campaign, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside in most fantasy formats, particularly when considering that he's recorded a mere three points (two goals, one assist) over 16 contests following the 4 Nations break.

Holloway recorded a goal, an assist, five shots on goal, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Montreal.

Holloway has been sizzling hot in recent weeks and extended his point streak to eight games with this multi-point effort. He found the back of the net in the final seconds of the first period with a tip-in to give the Blues a 2-1 lead, and he also assisted on Jordan Kyrou's goal to open the game. Holloway, who has notched 13 points during that aforementioned eight-game point streak, is up to 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) in what has been a career-best season for him.

Thomas recorded an even-strength goal and three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.

Thomas scored the Blues' third goal just 3:21 minutes into the second period, but the area in which he stood out was the playmaking department after setting up three of the team's remaining five goals. This was Thomas' second consecutive multi-point effort, and he's been nothing short of spectacular in recent weeks, tallying 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) over his last eight appearances, a span in which he failed to crack the scoresheet just once.

Bolduc scored a power-play goal on six shots and recorded four hits and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canadiens.

Bolduc has been impressive for the Blues in recent weeks and extended his current point streak to four games with his goal at the 18:02 mark of the third period. The 22-year-old center has cracked the scoresheet in 10 of his 13 appearances in March, tallying seven goals and three helpers over that stretch, and he's been playing a big role in the Blues' current seven-game winning streak.

Suzuki scored a goal and took three shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blues.

Suzuki cracked the scoresheet for the fourth consecutive game, a stretch in which he's recorded two goals and two helpers, and he's been one of the most productive players for Montreal all season long. In fact. the 25-year-old center has contributed at least one point in all but three of his 14 appearances since the 4 Nations break, racking up the impressive tally of 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in that stretch.

Glass has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Chicago due to an unspecified injury, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

While the nature and severity of Glass' injury aren't yet clear, he'll be forced to miss at least one game due to the issue. The 25-year-old had appeared in each of the Devils' last eight matchups, logging two goals, four assists, eight hits and a plus-6 rating while averaging 15:19 of ice time during that span.

Sillinger (shoulder) has been medically cleared and could return to action against the Canucks on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Sillinger suffered a shoulder injury at the end of February and has been on injured reserve since March 4. However, head coach Dean Evason said Wednesday that Sillinger will be an option against the Canucks on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, signaling that the Blue Jackets likely plan to activate him from injured reserve ahead of the matchup. Sillinger has made 54 appearances for Columbus this year, logging nine goals, 20 assists, 62 hits and 35 PIM while averaging 17:18 of ice time.

Thompson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Senators.

The 27-year-old converted a Zach Benson feed from behind the net early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie. Thompson snapped a brief five-goal drought with the tally, and on the season he's up to 35 goals in 64 appearances, the third time in his career he's reached the 35-goal plateau. Buffalo has 12 more games left on its schedule, giving Thompson time to produce his second 40-goal campaign.

Abols logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Abols snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan Poehling tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Abols has emerged as a bottom-six regular for the Flyers following the trade deadline, but he hasn't been particularly productive on offense. For the season, he has four points, 21 shots on net, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 19 NHL appearances.
