Norris logged a pair of assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Norris helped out on a Peyton Krebs goal in the first period as well as the second of Josh Doan's tallies in the third. With a goal and six assists over his last six games, Norris has been a steady contributor from a middle-six role late in the regular season. He's at 32 points, 65 shots on net, 28 PIM, 23 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 42 appearances this season, which is production a little better than his usual on a per-game basis.

Haymes recorded an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Islanders.

Haymes helped out on Morgan Rielly's third-period tally. This was Haymes' NHL debut after a strong campaign with AHL Toronto, where he has 32 points in 64 appearances. He'll likely get a look in at least one more of the Maple Leafs' last three contests before returning to the Marlies for their playoff run.

Lorentz scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Islanders.

Lorentz has scored twice over the last three games. The 29-year-old is getting a look in a third-line role after the likely season-ending injury Dakota Joshua (upper body) sustained Wednesday versus the Capitals. Lorentz has 17 points, 67 shots on net, 136 hits, 46 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 68 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

Pageau scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Pageau has two goals and two assists over his last five contests. The 33-year-old center continues to fill a third-line role, offering steady depth offense with physicality. He's up to 17 goals -- his most in the last four years -- while adding 18 assists, 78 shots on net, 112 hits and 51 blocked shots over 71 appearances.

Schenn scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Schenn scored just 2:08 into the game to give the Islanders a hot start. He has four goals and three assists over his last six outings. The 34-year-old forward is up to 39 points, 114 shots on net, 172 hits, 41 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a minus-29 rating across 77 appearances between the Islanders and the Blues. He's earned 11 points in 16 games for the Islanders, showing a stronger level of scoring as a fixture on their second line.

Crosby picked up two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

The 38-year-old had a hand in tallies by Egor Chinakhov in the second period and Evgeni Malkin in the third. Crosby has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, and over 11 games since returning in mid-March from a lower-body injury he's delivered two goals and 15 points. He remains one goal away from his 14th career 30-goal campaign with three games left in the regular season for the Penguins.

Malkin scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

It was the third straight multi-point performance for Malkin, who's piled up four goals and eight points during that surge. In the process, the 39-year-old reached the 60-point mark for the 14th time in his career, and he sits one tally shy of his 16th 20-goal campaign.

Frondell scored two goals, fired five shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to Carolina.

Frondell continued his excellent stretch of play to begin his NHL career with both of Chicago's goals Thursday. The 18-year-old center is up to three goals, eight points, 24 shots on net, eight hits and nine blocked shots through nine games. He has a bright future in Chicago's top six and should be a staple in all fantasy formats next season. This year, however, he offers excellent streaming value in most league formats.

Larkin scored three goals -- one on the power play, one shorthanded, and one at even strength -- while adding a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

The shortie wound up being the game-winner, as it gave Detroit a 4-1 lead early in the second period and chased Dan Vladar from the crease. It was Larkin's third career hat trick, and in nine games since returning in late March from a leg injury he's produced six goals and 10 points as the Red Wings try to get back in the playoff picture.

Jankowski scored two goals and placed two shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 win over Chicago.

Jankowski posted his first multi-goal game of the season Thursday by posting Carolina's fourth and seventh tallies of the landslide victory. His pair of twine finders helped him reach 10 goals on the season, making it the fourth time he has hit double-digit goals during his nine-year NHL career. Overall, he has 20 points, 61 shots on net, 44 hits and 41 blocked shots across 66 games this season. Jankowski has stepped up his game down the stretch with five goals over his last 16 games, giving him some fantasy viability in deep leagues.
