Jost notched an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Jost has two helpers over his last four contests. He set up Mark Jankowski's goal at 7:59 of the second period to open the scoring. The 27-year-old Jost has been on the wing since the Hurricanes acquired Jankowski, which appears to have been a beneficial change for both players. Jost is up to four points, 26 shots on net, 33 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 28 outings in 2024-25, so he is unlikely to be considered in most fantasy formats.

Kotkaniemi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Kotkaniemi hasn't scored since Feb. 1, and he has just five helpers over his last 17 contests. He's been on a line with Taylor Hall and Jack Roslovic recently, but that hasn't helped ignite Kotkaniemi's offense. The 24-year-old is up to 31 points, 102 shots on net, 48 PIM, 58 hits and a plus-10 rating over 70 appearances. He's done better than in a 27-point 2023-24, but he won't come close to his career-best 43-point total from 2022-23.

Stankoven notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Stankoven is up to a goal and three helpers over seven contests with the Hurricanes. The 22-year-old has moved around the lineup a bit, and it looks like head coach Rod Brind'Amour is still trying to figure out where the rookie fits best into the lineup. Stankoven has a total of 33 points, 163 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-3 rating across 66 appearances between Carolina and Dallas this season.

Jarvis logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Jarvis left Saturday's game versus the Kings early due to an undisclosed injury, but he didn't have to miss any extra time. His early exit Saturday saw his six-game point streak snapped, but he was right back on the scoresheet with a helper on the first of Taylor Hall's three goals in Sunday's win. Jarvis is up to 27 goals, 26 assists, 14 power-play points, 165 shots on net, 85 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 63 appearances this season.

Roslovic notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Roslovic helped out on the last two goals of Taylor Hall's third-period hat trick. While he's had some good moments this season, Roslovic has been just okay in March with two goals and four assists over 11 outings this month. He's currently in a second-line role, but he's been a player that has frequently moved around the lineup, and Roslovic could be at risk of dropping to the bottom six when Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) returns. Roslovic has 35 points, 119 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 69 appearances in 2024-25, a bounce-back effort after he was limited to 31 points in 59 games a year ago.

Jankowski scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Jankowski just won't slow down -- he has six goals over seven contests since the Hurricanes acquired him from the Predators. The 30-year-old is finding success even while limited to a fourth-line role -- he was under 10 minutes of ice time in Sunday's game, the fourth time that's happened since the trade even with his good fortune for goal-scoring. Overall, the center has 10 tallies, 15 points, 53 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across 48 appearances this season.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy said following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning that Hertl is being evaluated after exiting the game early due to an apparent right arm injury, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hertl went hard into the boards in the third period of Sunday's matchup, and he headed to the locker room immediately afterward. He appeared to be favoring his right arm, but the extent of his injury isn't yet known. The Golden Knights will have a day off before a road matchup in Minnesota on Tuesday, and Hertl is slated to be reevaluated Monday. If the 31-year-old is forced to miss time, Tanner Pearson and Cole Schwindt are candidates to enter the lineup.

Newhook managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Newhook snapped a three-game dry spell with the helper. He has three goals and two assists over his last 12 contests while maintaining a second-line role at even strength as well as a spot on the second power-play unit. Newhook is up to 23 points, 98 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-17 rating through 69 appearances.

Kadri scored the game-winning goal on a game-high six shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

Kadri sealed the win for Calgary at 3:53 of the extra frame. The left-shot center received a drop pass from Rasmus Andersson and beat Marcus Hogberg from the left circle. Kadri has scored in three straight games and six of his last 10. Dating back to Feb. 1, Kadri has generated offense at just under a point-per-game pace, with nine goals and as many helpers across 19 contests. The 34-year-old is on track to reach the 30-goal mark for the first time since 2017-18.

Huberdeau generated a goal on four shots, two assists and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

All of Huberdeau's production came at even strength in regulation. He set up both of Matthew Coronato's markers before tying the score at 3-3 late in the third period, shortly after Kyle MacLean gave the Islanders the lead. Huberdeau continues to provide steady offense for a Flames squad that currently sits below the playoff line but is in the thick of the race -- the Quebec native has five goals and four assists over his last six games, including five points in his last two. Overall, Huberdeau has registered 27 goals and 55 points through 69 appearances.
