Hyman scored twice on seven shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.

Hyman scored in the first and second periods before setting up a Mattias Janmark tally in the third. This was after Hyman was limited to three points over his previous seven games before missing one due to an undisclosed injury. The winger is now at 24 goals, 40 points, 178 shots on net, 46 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 62 appearances. The Oilers are pretty comfortably in a playoff spot, so don't be surprised if they play it safe regarding injuries, as they can afford to give players rest if needed.

Bedard scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-3 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

Bedard ended a three-game slide with a goal at 3:46 of the first period. The 19-year-old center has just four points over nine outings in March, a continuation of his inconsistent offense from late February. For the season, Bedard is at 18 goals, 53 points (24 on the power play), 163 shots on net, 62 PIM and a minus-36 rating across 68 appearances. That's eight points back of his total from the same number of contests in 2023-24, and he's also sporting a minus-80 rating for his career while playing on defensively deficient Chicago teams.

Crosby scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

The goal pushed his point streak to five games and eight points (five goals, three assists). It was his fifth goal in five games. Crosby now has 74 points (24 goals, 50 assists) this season. Since he can play a maximum of 80 games this year, Sid is just six points from guaranteeing that he'll average at least a point-per-game for a 20th consecutive season. Wayne Gretzky managed that feat 19 times.

Eyssimont posted an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Eyssimont is up to three points over seven contests since the Kraken acquired him from the Lightning. The 28-year-old forward has played in a fourth-line role, but that's not holding him back much. He's up to 13 points, 116 shots on net, 91 hits, 50 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 64 appearances in 2024-25.

Stephenson logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Stephenson extended his point streak to six games (one goal, six helpers) when he set up Jordan Eberle's game-tying goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Stephenson is once again excelling as a playmaker on the Kraken's second line. He has brought veteran stability in that role throughout the campaign, earning 48 points with 66 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 68 appearances. It's a similar pace to what he had in Vegas during the 2023-24 regular season (51 points in 75 contests).

McCann scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

McCann snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period tally, which put the Kraken ahead 3-2. It ultimately stood as the game-winner, his third such goal this season. It's been a down year for McCann, who has had to battle inconsistency on offense. He has 17 goals, 46 points, 164 shots on net, 40 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 69 appearances. His 10.4 shooting percentage is his lowest since he shot 9.3 percent in 2019-20.

Palmieri had a goal and two assists Tuesday in a 4-2 victory over the Penguins.

Palmieri got the Isles on the board just 17 seconds into the third period on a breakaway. His wrister hit the right post, bounced out and went in off netminder Tristan Jarry. It snapped Palmieri's five-game point drought. The veteran winger has 44 points (21 goals, 23 assists) in 67 games, which quietly puts him on pace for 52 or 53 points. That's consistency, and consistency is what helps managers win titles.

Beniers scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Beniers has three goals and two helpers over his last six contests. The center set up Adam Larsson's goal to get the Kraken on the board in the first period, and the players reversed roles when Beniers scored to make it 4-2 in the middle frame. The 22-year-old Beniers now has 38 points in 69 appearances, one point better than his 77-game output from 2023-24. He's added 124 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 2024-25 as he continues to fill a two-way role on the Kraken's top line.

Wright scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Wright potted the Kraken's fifth and sixth goals to stretch the lead. The 21-year-old has played on the fourth line in the last few games, but he led Seattle forwards with 17:42 of ice time in this contest and hasn't seen too much of a drop in minutes. The 21-year-old has four goals and two assists over nine outings in March, and he's up to 17 goals, 40 points, 73 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 66 appearances.

McMichael scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

He scored from in front on a feed from Alex Ovechkin late in the third to make the score 4-1. McMichael is on pace for more than 60 points, and he's the kind of player every team wants -- he goes out and proves people wrong every time they say he can't do something. McMichael's drive and energy will make him an ideal second-line scoring center for the next 6-8 years, and his fantasy contributions will be integral to many championships.
