  • Blues' Otto Stenberg: Shipped down to minors

    Stenberg was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

    Stenberg has logged 32 games for the Blues as a rookie this season, notching three goals and seven helpers to go with 49 hits. Rather than keeping the 20-year-old center in the NHL for the final two games of the season, the organization is choosing to bolster the Thunderbirds' ranks ahead of a postseason push.

  • Liam Foudy C | NYI

    Islanders' Liam Foudy: Joining NHL club

    Foudy was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.

    Foudy hasn't gotten into an NHL game this season, featuring exclusively in the minors where he has racked up 46 points in 58 games for AHL Bridgeport. Fantasy managers can expect the 26-year-old center to get into Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes. Selected 18th overall in the 2018 NHL Draft, Foudy's brief cameo could open the door for him to secure a roster spot heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

  • Maple Leafs' Jacob Quillan: First NHL goal in loss

    Quillan scored a goal Monday in a 6-5 loss to Dallas.

    It was his first NHL goal. The undrafted 24-year-old Quillan has played in 22 games this season. He has one goal, one assist and 14 shots while averaging 10:09 of ice time. Quillan also 12 goals and 21 assists in 38 games with AHL Toronto this season.

  • John Tavares C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Ninth 70-plus point season

    Tavares scored a power-play goal in a 6-5 loss to Dallas on Monday.

    Tavares cleaned up the crease with those silky mitts -- the guy knows how to snipe. He is on a three-game, three-point streak (one goal, two assists), and he has 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in his last 12 games. Tavares has nine 70-plus seasons in his illustrious career. This year, he tallied 31 goals, 40 assists and 192 shots in 81 contests.

  • Stars' Wyatt Johnston: Game grows from great to elite

    Johnston scored a goal in Monday's 6-5 win over Toronto.

    Johnston has had an outstanding season -- the goal was his 45th snipe and 86th point of the year (81 games). Johnston is on a four-game, six-point scoring streak. It includes four goals and two assists (13 shots). He's the top scorer from the 2021 Entry Draft. Johnston has 134 goals, 129 assists (263 points) in 327 games. Not bad for the 23rd overall pick.

  • Matt Duchene C | DAL

    Stars' Matt Duchene: Five assists in last two games

    Duchene picked up three assists in a 6-5 win over Toronto on Monday.

    Duchene has five assists in his last two games and 45 points (16 goals, 29 assists) in 56 games overall. He has 933 points (387 goals, 549 assists) in 1,193 career NHL games. Duchene is the second-highest scorer from the 2009 Entry Draft, behind John Tavares (1,184 points in 1,264 games). He and the Stars face the Wild to open the playoffs.

  • Stars' Mavrik Bourque: First NHL hat trick

    Bourque scored a hat trick Monday in a 6-5 win over Toronto. He also had an assist.

    Bourque's third tally put the Stars ahead for good at 14:52 of the third period. He's the fifth player in Stars history to score at least three goals and four points on the road, and the first since Wyatt Johnston had five points (three goals, two assists) in a 7-6 overtime win in San Jose on March 5, 2024. Bourque has 19 goals, 21 assists and 146 shots in 81 games in his second full season in the NHL.

  • Marco Kasper C | DET

    Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Rare goal in tough sophomore season

    Kaspar scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.

    It was a backhander from the edge of the crease; it was his ninth snipe of the season (10 assists, 129 shots; 80 games). Kasper took a huge step backward in 2025-26. Last year, he had 19 goals, 18 assists and 145 shots. Kasper has one more year on his entry-level contract, and he will need to prove he can be the top-six pivot the team hoped they were drafting in 2022.

  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Nets 38th goal of season in OT win

    Guentzel scored a goal Monday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

    Guentzel has 38 goals, 50 assists and 219 shots in 81 games this season. He scored 30 of his points, including eight goals, on the power play. Tampa Bay has one game remaining that could solidify home-ice advantage, but the team may choose to rest their stars for the playoffs. That could mean Guentzel may rest Wednesday against the Rangers.

  • Lightning's Conor Geekie: Gets first goal of season

    Geekie scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Monday.

    It was Geekie's first goal of the season. He has played 14 games this season (one goal, two assists), and he has 17 goals and 42 assists in 58 games with AHL Syracuse. That's good enough for him to still sit in a four-player tie for 12th in AHL scoring, even with the promotion. Geekie is a prototypical playmaking center with size (six-foot-four) and power, but he's blocked down the middle behind Anthony Cirelli, Brayden Point and Yanni Gourde, unless Gourde moves to the wing. That will limit Geekie's fantasy value for a few years.
