Turcotte scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Turcotte doubled the Kings' lead 59 seconds after Trevor Moore's opener with a tip-in. This was Turcotte's eighth goal of the campaign, but it was also the first time he's found the back of the net since tallying two goals in a 5-1 win over the Canucks on Jan. 16. The 24-year-old is having a career-best season in 2024-25, as he has racked up 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 62 appearances after being limited to just 32 games in his first three years in the league. That said, he's not much of a fantasy option outside of leagues that reward physicality, and even in those contexts, he'd only be a realistic alternative as a streaming option in deep formats.

Schenn logged two helpers, including the game-winning assist, in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Schenn had a strong performance late in Thursday's contest with two primary helpers to help tie the game at two apiece before assisting Philip Broberg's game-winner. The 33-year-old Schenn is up to 29 assists, 45 points and 128 shots on net in 70 games this season. The 16-year NHL veteran has been an extremely steady force offensively lately with 15 points in his last 15 games. He is just one point away from matching his output from 2023-24 and is on his way to registering the eighth 50-point campaign of his career. Schenn has good value in most formats and is a great addition to fantasy lineups with St. Louis making a push toward a postseason spot.

Bolduc tallied a goal, had two shots on net and dished out five hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Bolduc opened Thursday's scoring late in the second period off feeds from linemates Oskar Sundqvist and Mathieu Joseph. The 22-year-old Bolduc now has 13 goals, 27 points and 88 hits in 60 appearances this season. The young forward has been hot recently with seven goals and nine points in his last 12 games. Bolduc is just three points away from eclipsing the 30-point mark and could push for around 35 points if he maintains this consistency. His offensive capabilities and added value with hits make Bolduc a decent play in deeper leagues with the fantasy playoffs upon us.

Holloway scored a goal, registered an assist, blocked three shots and dished out seven hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Holloway's tally was the latter of two goals scored by St. Louis in just 24 seconds. He remained active on both ends of the ice with a combined 10 hits and blocks and capped off his night with an assist on Philip Broberg's game-winning goal in overtime. The 23-year-old Holloway is up to 23 goals, 33 assists, 162 shots on goal, 47 blocks and 151 hits in 70 games this season. Holloway currently has a five-game point streak with nine points during this stretch. The 2020 first-round selection is having a phenomenal campaign and has the chance to cross the 65-point mark. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats with his incredible category coverage and recent momentum.

Barkov scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 1-0 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Barkov scored for the second game in a row, lifting the Panthers to a hard-earned win with his tally 29 seconds into overtime to end the goalie duel between Sergei Bobrovsky and Elvis Merzlikins. Barkov is up to 19 goals, 63 points, 131 shots on net, 75 hits, 52 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances. He's earned 26 of his points on the power play, including nine of his goals.

Draisaitl (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash with Seattle, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

In addition to Draisaitl, the Oilers will also be without superstar Connor McDavid (lower body), who is undergoing an MRI on Friday. With its top two centers sidelined, Edmonton will likely move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Adam Henrique into top-six roles. For his part, Draisaitl will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury.

McDavid (lower body) will undergo an MRI on Friday and will be unavailable versus Seattle on Saturday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

McDavid is riding a 13-game point streak in which he has racked up four goals and 15 assists, including six power-play points. The world-class center has already missed six games this season and will now be sidelined for a seventh. With Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) also on the shelf, the Oilers will likely move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins into the first-line center role and will need to shift Corey Perry or Viktor Arvidsson onto the No. 1 power-play unit.

Cotter scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.

Cotter has two goals over his last five games, though he's largely been limited to fourth-line duties. The 25-year-old forward centered that trio Thursday with Curtis Lazar (undisclosed) out of action. Cotter is at 15 goals, six helpers, 79 shots on net, 218 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Frost logged a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Frost ended a six-game point drought with the secondary helper on Matthew Coronato's second-period tally. The 25-year-old Frost has been limited to four helpers and 20 shots on net over 13 appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He's currently on the second line in place of Mikael Backlund (upper body), who is considered week-to-week. Frost has 31 points, 118 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 53 hits and a minus-15 rating over 67 contests between the Flames and the Flyers this season.

Zary scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Zary's goal at 6:50 of the third period was the first of four tallies in the frame for the Flames as they pulled off a comeback win. The 23-year-old also led all Calgary forwards with 21:57 of ice time. Zary has a goal and an assist, as well as nine shots, over two contests following a two-game suspension. He's at 13 goals, 26 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 51 outings in 2024-25. Fantasy managers in need of a boost in points or shots should consider Zary for the final few weeks of the season.
