Lowry scored an unassisted goal in Friday's 6-1 win against New Jersey.

Lowry scored the first of three goals in the third period for Winnipeg. The 31-year-old center is up to 13 goals, 28 points, 78 shots on target and 107 hits in 56 games this season. Lowry has goals in back-to-back games and is two points away from reaching the 30-point mark for the third consecutive season. Lowry's career high in points of 36 is within reach this season if he can consistently produce offensively for Winnipeg down the stretch. The third-line center has some fantasy value in deeper leagues, especially in banger format with triple-digit hits.

Larkin scored a goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Larkin found the back of the net right out of the gate, as he gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead just 43 seconds into the first period. The 28-year-old has 26 goals this season and has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, a feat he hadn't accomplished since doing so in a two-game stretch on Jan. 30 and Feb. 1.

Perfetti scored a goal on three shots on net in Friday's 6-1 win against New Jersey.

Perfetti grabbed the final goal in Winnipeg's offensive onslaught Friday night. The 23-year-old winger has generated 13 goals, 38 points and 108 shots on net in 64 appearances this season. With Friday's goal, Perfetti tied his career high in points in seven fewer games than his previous 38-point season. While he doesn't have as many goals as last season, Perfetti has made strides as a playmaker and has taken a step forward overall. He is an exciting name to watch ahead of next season but holds good value for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign in deeper leagues.

Harkins' point drought reached nine games in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

While Harkins isn't scoring, he's been in the lineup for six straight contests after being scratched four times in February. The 27-year-old is holding onto a fourth-line role over Ross Johnston for now, though Harkins is likely to face more pressure for ice time once Robby Fabbri (upper body) returns. Harkins has just six points with 34 shots on net, 102 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 45 appearances this season. It's better than his four-point showing over 45 contests with the Penguins last year, but it's far from enough to intrigue fantasy managers.

McTavish notched a power-play assist in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

McTavish has four points over his last three games after setting up a Sam Colangelo tally in the first period. Those two forwards, along with Cutter Gauthier, have found chemistry since being put together in Tuesday's game versus the Oilers. McTavish is now at 35 points (nine on the power play), 119 shots on net, 51 hits, 28 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 56 appearances. He's eight points back of his career-high 43 from 2022-23, and he's got the momentum to get there by the end of the campaign.

Holloway recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Holloway set up Brayden Schenn for a go-ahead goal in the second period. The 23-year-old Holloway remains consistent -- he has four goals and three assists over his last seven outings while playing in a second-line role. For the season, he's up to 20 goals, 27 helpers, 149 shots on net, 136 hits and a plus-12 rating through 64 appearances in his first year with the Blues.

Kyrou provided an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Kyrou has opened March with three helpers over four games, but he's gone five contests without a goal. The 26-year-old winger chipped in on the first of Brayden Schenn's two goals in this game. Kyrou is up to 50 points (24 goals, 26 assists), 180 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-12 rating across 64 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Bolduc scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Bolduc gave the Blues a 3-1 lead in the third period with his fifth goal in six games. The 22-year-old forward is up to 11 tallies, 23 points, 78 shots on net, 74 hits and a plus-15 rating across 54 appearances this season. Bolduc's bottom-six role isn't encouraging for fantasy managers, but he could earn himself more ice time if he keeps scoring at a strong rate.

Schenn scored two goals and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.

Schenn gave the Blues a 2-1 lead midway through the second period and added an empty-netter in the third. That second tally proved necessary, as the Ducks scored late in the third period and nearly tied things up before time expired -- his empty-netter was ultimately the game-winner. Schenn is hot right now with three goals and five assists over his last seven contests. The 33-year-old has 14 goals, 40 points, 114 shots on net, 158 hits, 40 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 64 appearances. He'll get a chance to finish his eighth campaign with the Blues after he ultimately wasn't traded despite surfacing in rumors in recent weeks. He'll be a key part of their offense as they try to stay in what looks like a four-team race for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Rossi managed a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

While Rossi was dropped to the third line at even strength, he remains on the Wild's top power-play unit. It was there that he set up Brock Faber for a third-period tally Friday. The helper was Rossi's first point over three outings in March, which likely prompted the lineup shuffle that saw Ryan Hartman take on a larger even-strength role. For the season, Rossi remains one of the Wild's top forwards with 52 points (13 on the power play), 107 shots on net and a plus-13 rating across 63 appearances.
