Goncalves scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

It was his first NHL power-play goal. Goncalves has a goal in each of his last two games and his third in his last seven games. His fantasy value is limited -- he has just four goals, seven assists and 40 shots in 43 games this season.

Reinhart logged a pair of power-play assists and four hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Reinhart has racked up six points, including four on the power play, over his last four games. Only one of those was a goal, his lone tally across 12 contests dating back to Feb. 4 versus the Capitals. The 29-year-old is still above a point-per-game pace with 70 points (32 goals, 38 helpers) through 66 appearances. Reinhart has added 25 power-play points, 174 shots on net, 80 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating while seeing steady top-six usage and power-play time.

Poehling scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning on Thursday.

Poehling found himself alone in the slot with the puck, and he deked around Jonas Johansson in tight with a backhand. The points snapped a 12-game scoring drought for the pivot. It's worth noting that Poehling and line mate Olle Lycksell got a huge boost when Bobby Brink was shifted to their line. The trio put up three goals and four assists, and were the best line on the ice for the Flyers. They won't often have big games like this one, and the team is still going to struggle. But it's nice to see Poehling's confidence grow through the game. He has five goals, 12 assists and 50 shots in 53 games this season, so his value is limited.

Nyquist logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Nyquist snapped a five-game point drought with the helper, his first point in six outings since he was dealt to Minnesota from Nashville. The 35-year-old has claimed a top-six role in his second stint with the team, but he's not doing enough on offense to justify a roster spot in fantasy. Dating back to his time with the Predators, he has just two helpers across his last 16 outings. For the season, Nyquist is at 22 points, 81 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-22 rating over 63 appearances.

Gaudreau scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Gaudreau's tally in the third period tied the game at 2-2, and it was enough to force the extra session. The center had gone three contests without a point, but that followed a stretch of four goals and two assists over seven outings. For the season, he's been a decent depth scorer with 15 goals, 30 points, 91 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 66 appearances. That's double his point total from 67 games in 2023-24, but he's unlikely to end up anywhere near his career-high 44 points from 2021-22.

Rempe notched an assist, two PIM and three hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.

Rempe ended a seven-game point drought with the secondary helper on Jonny Brodzinski's tally in the third period. The 22-year-old Rempe continues to pile up hits, logging at least three of them in six straight contests. For the season, the fourth-line winger has five points, 52 PIM, 91 hits, 21 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 31 appearances.

Miller notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.

Miller has been held without a goal for five games, but he has three assists in that span. He had the secondary helper on a Braden Schneider tally in overtime Thursday. Miller continues to operate just above a point-per-game pace in his second stint as a Ranger -- he has 17 points over 16 contests since he was traded from the Canucks. This season, he's accumulated 16 goals, 36 helpers, 108 shots on net, 136 hits and a minus-4 rating over 56 outings.

Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.

Brodzinski snapped a seven-game goal drought, during which he had one assist, when he scored at 6:38 of the third period. His goal gave the Rangers a short-lived lead, but they won anyway on a Braden Schneider tally in overtime. Brodzinski continues to see regular ice time in a fourth-line role as well as a little power-play usage. He's now at a career-high seven goals while adding six assists, 46 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season.

Trocheck scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.

Trocheck opened the scoring at 6:45 of the second period. The 31-year-old center had gone 11 games without a goal, though he still racked up seven assists, 28 shots on net and 27 hits in that span to stay productive for fantasy managers. For the season, he has 18 goals, 43 points, 168 shots on net, 183 hits, 68 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 66 appearances. He's not going to be anywhere near his point totals from the last two years (64 and 77), but he continues to see plenty of time in a top-six role.

Bennett scored two power-play goals Thursday in a 3-2 win over Toronto.

Bennett's first goal was a jam play on a rebound from the top of the crease. He got his second late in the third from the low slot on a feed from Sam Bennett from behind the net. Bennett is riding a four-game, five-point scoring streak (three goals, two assists). He's just five points from matching his career mark of 49 set in 2021-22 and on pace to deliver 55 this season.
