Hayton provided two helpers and took four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Both of Hayton's assists came in regulation before Utah would eventually win the game in overtime. The 24-year-old center has 17 assists, 29 points and 93 shots on net across 53 games this season. Hayton has been showing steady improvement in the shot department, firing two attempts or more in 12 of his last 14 outings. While it has led to only five goals, his spot with the first unit on Utah's power play makes him a strong waiver-wire target while Logan Cooley (lower body) remains out.

Poitras notched two assists in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Wild.

The 20-year-old center has a hand in second-period tallies by Charlie McAvoy and Trent Frederic, giving Jeremy Swayman all the support he would need on the night. Poitras hasn't scored a goal in 10 games since returning to the Bruins' lineup in mid-January, but he's been productive with seven assists, and he's been seeing shifts on Boston's second power-play unit.

Abols scored his first-career NHL goal and took two shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss against Utah.

Abols scored the opening goal Tuesday just two minutes into the contest. The 29-year-old center has a goal and 12 shots on net across his first seven career appearances. The fourth-line center should continue to skate roughly 10 minutes a night for Philadelphia.

Kupari scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Carolina.

Kupari has scored twice in his last four contests, and he's now matched his career-high mark of five goals set during the 2021-22 campaign when he was with the Kings. Despite the recent uptick in goals, the 24-year-old center has managed just seven points in 51 contests, making him a low-end fantasy option the rest of the way.

Sharangovich scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Sharangovich has scored on the power play in back-to-back games. He has five tallies and five assists over his last 12 outings, a return to the scoring form he displayed for most of 2023-24. The 26-year-old forward is now at 11 goals, 21 points, 92 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 46 appearances. He was a 31-goal, 59-point man in 2023-24, and if he can play at that level over the remainder of this season, he could still get to the 40-point mark by the end of the campaign.

Lorentz provided an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

Lorentz ended a four-game slump with the helper. The 28-year-old forward remains in a fourth-line role, so longer droughts on offense are a possibility, though he has been more consistent since the holiday break. Lorentz is at five goals, seven helpers, 45 shots on net, 133 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 53 appearances this season.

McMann scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

McMann has scored in back-to-back games despite being on the third line for both of them. The 28-year-old winger put the Maple Leafs ahead 3-2 with the first even-strength tally in this contest. He's up to a career-high 16 goals and has matched his personal best with 24 points through 45 outings after reaching that mark in 56 regular-season games last year. McMann also has 114 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-7 rating. Even in a depth role, he adds enough toughness and scoring to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Amadio scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.

Amadio opened the scoring at 14:09 of the first period. This was his second goal over the last three games after he went 26 contests without scoring, adding just seven assists in that span. Amadio is up to four goals, 13 points, 51 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-2 rating over 44 appearances after earning his first power-play point of the campaign Tuesday.

Glendening scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

Glendening ended a 22-game point drought with his game-tying goal in the second period. The 35-year-old has always been more of a defensive forward, and he's taken that back to an extreme level after showing a scoring touch in a 10-goal 2023-24 regular season. He has three goals, two assists, 38 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 72 hits and a minus-7 rating over 52 appearances in 2024-25.

Goodrow provided an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Goodrow ended a five-game point drought with the helper, his first assist since Dec. 27. The 31-year-old forward had two goals over 16 games in between assists. He's now at seven points, 52 shots on net, 105 hits, 36 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-25 rating through 50 appearances. Goodrow figures to continue playing a bottom-six role with limited chances for offense, so he doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.
