Calle Jarnkrok C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Chips in assist Tuesday
Jarnkrok logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.
Jarnkrok set up a David Kampf goal in the second period as the Maple Leafs' bottom six mopped up some minutes in a blowout win. Jarnkrok had been scratched for the previous two games, but he took the place of Pontus Holmberg on the fourth line. The depth players in Toronto are not guaranteed a spot in the lineup -- there's been a handful of players to see time in the press box. Jarnkrok has four points, four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and four PIM across eight appearances this season since he overcame a long-term absence due to a groin injury and sports hernia surgery.

David Kampf C | BUF
Maple Leafs' David Kampf: Contributes goal in win
Kampf scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.
Kampf was scratched for three games between March 15 and 19, but he's returned to the lineup over the last three contests. The 30-year-old forward snapped an 11-game goal drought with his tally Tuesday. He remains in a fourth-line role, so his offense is going to be limited most of the time. He's at five goals, 11 points, 45 shots on net, 47 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 55 appearances.

Max Domi C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Finds twine in blowout win
Domi scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Flyers.
Domi had the Maple Leafs' last goal, scoring at 11:32 of the third period to finish off the blowout win. Domi has found his scoring touch lately, scoring three goals and adding two assists over his last eight contests. His offense is likely to be a little limited in a third-line role. For the season, he's produced seven goals, 29 points, 85 shots on net, 51 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 63 appearances.

J.T. Miller C | NYR
Rangers' J.T. Miller: Opens scoring in loss
Miller scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
It took a replay to confirm it was a goal, but Miller opened the scoring at 2:10 of the second period. That was all the Rangers could get past Darcy Kuemper. Miller has scored in consecutive contests after enduring a nine-game goal drought earlier in March. The 32-year-old center is up to 18 goals, 56 points, 118 shots on net, 156 hits, 44 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 62 games between the Rangers and the Canucks this season.

Anze Kopitar C | LA
Kings' Anze Kopitar: Slides power-play helper
Kopitar logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Kopitar has four points, including two on the power play, over his last three games. The 37-year-old also led Los Angeles forwards with 19:43 of ice time Tuesday, his most in a game since Feb. 22 versus the Canucks. The Kings have a strong top nine, so they have spread the minutes around rather than leaning heavily on Kopitar. He's up to 57 points (19 on the power play), 86 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-8 rating through 70 appearances.

Phillip Danault C | MON
Kings' Phillip Danault: Nets game-winner on power play
Danault scored a power-play goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Danault has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, though this was his first power-play point of the campaign despite a steady role on the second unit. The goal was his seventh of the year, and three of them have been game-winners. The center is at 37 points, 114 shots on net, 73 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 69 appearances. He's not an elite scorer by any means, but he's warmed up recently after being tough to roster for much of the season due to inconsistency.

Matty Beniers C | SEA
Kraken's Matty Beniers: Sets up equalizer
Beniers notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
Beniers got on the scoresheet in consecutive contests for the first time since he had a point in each game surrounding the 4 Nations Face-Off break. It's been a decent March for Beniers, who has four goals and four assists over 12 outings this month. He's up to 40 points, 129 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 37 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 72 appearances. With his recent play, a 45-point campaign is still within reach, but he's likely to fall short of 50 for the second time in three NHL campaigns.

Jared McCann LW | SEA
Kraken's Jared McCann: Notches power-play assist
McCann logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
McCann has a goal and three assists over his last four contests. That matches his point total from the 14 games before his recent stretch of improved play. The 28-year-old forward is playing in a middle-six role lately, and he may be stuck at center rather than on the wing as long as Chandler Stephenson (upper body) is out. Overall, McCann has 17 goals, 32 assists, 171 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 72 appearances.

Kevin Rooney C | UTA
Flames' Kevin Rooney: Posts assist Tuesday
Rooney logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Rooney has three helpers over 12 games in March, though his assist Tuesday snapped a five-game skid. The 31-year-old center has played exclusively on the fourth line when in the lineup, offering minimal fantasy value on a low-scoring team. He's at eight points, 46 shots on net, 94 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 59 appearances.

Morgan Frost C | CGY
Flames' Morgan Frost: Picks up power-play helper
Frost logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Frost has a helper in each of the last two games. Three of his four assists over 12 outings in March have come on the power play, but he hasn't scored since Feb. 8 against the Kraken. The 25-year-old center hasn't stepped up in a larger role during the absence of Mikael Backlund (upper body). Frost is at 32 points (11 on the power play), 122 shots on net, 57 hits and a minus-14 rating over 69 contests between the Flames and the Flyers this season.
