Kyrou netted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.

Kyrou's power-play tally midway through the second period gave the Blues their second lead of the game, which they would expand upon to secure Saturday's win. Overall, he now has 18 goals, 43 points, 167 shots on net and 26 blocked shots through 69 games this season. Despite taking a step back offensively this season, the 27-year-old winger has three goals and eight points over his last 11 outings.

Luostarinen scored a goal, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

As one of the Panthers' few regulars who hasn't joined the walking wounded, Luostarinen has been occupying a top-line role. He opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the game before assisting on goals by Mackie Samoskevich and A.J. Greer in the third period. Luostarinen has five points over his last three contests, giving him 11 goals, 32 points, 106 shots on net, 120 hits, 57 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 71 outings. Assuming the Panthers don't have lingering long-term issues for 2026-27, Luostarinen will likely revert to a defensively inclined middle-six role next season.

Gaudreau scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Gaudreau has moved around the lineup a bit lately but often sees something equivalent to middle-six usage regardless of where he lines up. This tally snapped a seven-game point drought for the veteran center. He's up to six goals, 68 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-1 rating over 65 outings in his first year with the Kraken. That's on the lower end of his production from recent years, though the team around him has often struggled to generate offense.

Stephenson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Stephenson has two goals and five assists over his last nine outings. He put the Kraken ahead 2-1 at 13:16 of the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. On the year, Stephenson has contributed 16 goals, 48 points, 91 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating through 77 appearances. He has three games left to add to his totals, with two more points enough to secure a fifth straight 50-point season.

Beniers scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Beniers had been limited to two helpers over his last eight outings. The 23-year-old center was able to get to the 20-goal mark for the third time in his four full NHL campaigns despite the recent slowdown. He has 48 points, 149 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 79 appearances this season in a top-line role.

Gaucher scored three goals in AHL Lehigh Valley's 7-3 win over Bridgeport on Saturday.

Gaucher is knocking on the door of a second straight 20-goal season for the Phantoms. He has 19 tallies, 35 points, 95 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 65 appearances. He had gone five contests without a point prior to Saturday.

Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 2-1 win over Minnesota.

The goal was his 40th of the season (63 points). It's the eighth time in his 18 NHL seasons that Stamkos has scored 40 regular-season goals. He is third on the all-time active goal scorer's list (622), and he's the fourth active NHLer to score 40 or more goals with two franchises. The others? Alex DeBrincat (Chicago and Detroit), Jake Guentzel (Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay) and Matthew Tkachuk (Calgary and Florida).

Geekie scored a goal in a 2-1 loss to the Lightning on Saturday.

It was Geekie's fourth goal in two games. He gave his team a 1-0 lead at the midpoint of the second period when he beat Andrei Vasilevskiy glove side on a breakaway. Geekie sits in a six-way tie for 13th on the NHL goal list with 38 snipes. He has 67 points, including 24 on the power play (12 goals, 12 assists), 178 shots, 110 hits, 33 blocks and 22 PIM in 79 games this season.

Nazar (mouth) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Blues.

After the game, head coach Jeff Blashill indicated Nazar would need dental work. Nazar took a puck to the face in the second period and left the ice in frustration. Considering the Blackhawks have just two games on the schedule after Saturday, there may not be enough time for him to get back into the lineup if the injury is significant.

Wright (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Calgary, per Sound of Hockey.

Wright hasn't been in the lineup since March 28 because of the injury. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 72 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to return will come Monday versus Los Angeles.
