Amadio scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Amadio has three points over his last two contests. The 29-year-old continues to fill a middle-six role for the Senators, and he's done well there as a depth scorer. He has a career-high 35 points (15 goals, 20 assists) while adding 96 shots on net, 105 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 81 appearances. Amadio is worth a streaming look in Wednesday's matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Pinto scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Pinto has four goals and two assists over seven contests this month. The 25-year-old center has put together a strong campaign from a middle-six role, with enough ice time in all situations to function as more of a top-six player. He's at 23 goals, 45 points, 154 shots on net, 93 hits, 49 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 71 appearances in his career-best year.

Hughes registered two assists, one on the power play and the other shorthanded, while adding three shots on net and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Hughes has six multi-point efforts over his last nine games, totaling seven goals and 11 assists in that span. The 24-year-old is up to 77 points (23 on the power play, two shorthanded), 226 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 60 appearances this season. Even with time lost due to injuries, this is the second-most productive campaign in his career, and it shows he could challenge for the 100-point mark if he can stay fully healthy in 2026-27.

Mercer scored a shorthanded goal on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Mercer set up Nico Hischier on the opening tally, and Hischier returned the favor when Mercer scored to tie the game at 3-3 in the third period. The 24-year-old Mercer has five goals and an assist over seven outings in April. He's up to 20 goals, 42 points, 156 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 33 PIM, 32 hits and a minus-2 rating over 81 contests this season. Assuming he plays Tuesday in Boston, Mercer will complete his fifth straight campaign without missing a game to open his career.

Hischier scored twice on five shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Hischier opened the scoring at 5:12 of the first period. He later set up Dawson Mercer's game-tying shorthanded goal in the third and then scored another of his own on the power play 3:18 into the extra session. Hischier had gone nine games without a goal prior to Sunday, but he had eight assists in that span. The 27-year-old center is at 28 goals, 66 points (23 on the power play), 211 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-6 rating over 81 appearances this season.

Rooney was recalled from AHL Tucson on Sunday.

Rooney has played in just one game with the Mammoth this season, though he scored a goal on his lone shot in Dallas on Nov. 28. The 32-year-old forward has accounted for 12 goals, 24 points and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances with the Roadrunners in 2025-26.

McMichael scored two goals, distributed an assist and put two shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Penguins.

McMichael played a pivotal role in all three of the Capitals' goals Sunday, as he picked up a secondary helper on Trevor van Riemsdyk's goal in the second period before scoring twice himself in the third. With his trio of points, McMichael is up to 14 goals, 32 assists, 142 shots on net, 45 hits and 44 blocked shots across 77 games this season. The 25-year-old forward has been a frequent contributor to Washington's offense of late with four goals and 11 points over his last nine games. McMichael is a solid waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy formats that track category coverage ahead of the Caps' last game of the regular season Tuesday.

Zacha has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Adam Pellerin of NESN reports.

Since the Bruins have already clinched a playoff berth, they're resting several of their regulars -- including Zacha -- for their penultimate regular-season game. Across five appearances in April, Zacha has recorded two goals, two assists, five hits and a blocked shot while averaging 16:57 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Devils, but he should be back for the start of postseason play.

Haight was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Haight has 18 goals and 32 points in 51 AHL outings this campaign. He also has one assist, eight shots on net, two blocked shots and seven hits in seven NHL appearances this season.

Fantilli recorded two assists, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Fantilli had gone 11 games without a multi-point effort entering Saturday. The 21-year-old center continues to fill a top-line role, though he did more with less in just 15:41 of ice time in Saturday's win. Fantilli is at 58 points (23 goals, 35 helpers), 210 shots on net, 138 hits, 51 blocked shots and 38 PIM over 80 appearances this season. He'll need to be at the top of his game as the Blue Jackets make one last push for a playoff spot over the final two contests.
