Kadri produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

All the scoring in the game came in the first period, as Kadri got the Flames on the board midway through the frame by cleaning up a rebound before feeding Matthew Coronato for the eventual game-winner. Kadri has been feast or famine of late, delivering three multi-point performances and four goose eggs in the last seven contests. On the season, the 34-year-old has 24 goals and 50 points in 67 appearances -- the fourth straight campaign in which he's been good for 20 goals and 50 points.

Dvorak scored a goal and added three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

After opening the scoring just 127 seconds into the first period, Dvorak dished three helpers in the third as Montreal took control of the game. The four points represented a career-best performance for the 29-year-old, and the Habs' third line was the start of the show -- Dvorak, Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher combined for four goals and nine points. While Dvorak has found the back of the net in back-to-back contests, on the season he has just eight goals and 25 points in 67 appearances.

Condotta agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Wednesday.

Condotta has played in seven NHL games this season, with his last appearance coming back on Nov. 23 versus Vegas. In the minors, the 27-year-old forward has been decently productive with 23 points in 50 minor-league outings for the Rocket. Given the deal's two-way nature, fantasy players should probably expect Condotta to play the bulk of games in the minors.

Namestnikov notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

Namestnikov has four points over his last four contests. The 32-year-old had endured an eight-game point drought prior to this hot stretch, so it's encouraging to see him get involved in the offense regularly. He remains in a second-line role as he has for much of the campaign. It's allowed him to produce 34 points, 78 shots on net, 74 hits, 42 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 65 appearances.

Blueger picked up an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Blueger's helper was the 100th of his career, a milestone he reached in his 404th game. The 30-year-old has two goals and three helpers over his last eight outings, and he's seeing a larger role on the third line in the absence of Filip Chytil (concussion). Blueger is up to 22 points, 75 shots on net, 88 hits, 38 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 68 appearances. That's behind the pace of his 28-point regular season from 2023-24, but Blueger remains a key depth forward for the Canucks.

Pettersson notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Pettersson's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists) after he helped out on a Nils Hoglander buzzer-beater at the end of the first period. The 26-year-old Pettersson is up to 43 points, 109 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-11 rating through 62 appearances. Fantasy managers who stuck with the Swede all season should have him in the lineup now that he's surging on offense.

Suter scored two goals on five shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Suter is currently filling in on the second line while Filip Chytil (concussion) is out of the lineup. The 28-year-old Suter has four goals and an assist over his last four outings, and Tuesday's performance got him to the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career. The Swiss forward has 34 points, 106 shots on net, 47 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances. He's got a chance at the 40-point mark for the first time in his career, as long as he can continue to be productive.

Cooley registered an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Cooley has turned things around after opening March on a six-game point drought. He has two points, five shots on net and six hits over his last two outings while staying in a top-six role. The 20-year-old center is up to 49 points (16 on the power play), 127 shots on net, 50 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Nugent-Hopkins scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.

Nugent-Hopkins looks set to stay at center for a while, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports, as head coach Kris Knoblauch was pleased with how Tuesday's game went. The 31-year-old Nugent-Hopkins still saw some shifts higher in the lineup, but a prolonged stay on the third line could hurt his offense a bit. That said, momentum is on his side -- he snapped a 10-game goal drought Tuesday and has six points over his last two outings. For the season, he's at 17 goals, 45 points, 132 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 67 appearances.

McDavid scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.

McDavid's goal late in the first period put the Oilers ahead 3-0. With Leon Draisaitl's 18-game point streak ending Tuesday, McDavid now has the longest active streak on the team. During his 12-game binge, he has four goals and 14 helpers, as well as 30 shots on net and a plus-3 rating. For the season, the 28-year-old superstar is up to 26 tallies, 63 helpers, 187 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 62 appearances. This will likely be his worst season in terms of total production since 2020-21, but McDavid looks like a good bet to reach the 100-point mark for the eighth time in his career.
