Malkin logged an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Malkin missed four games due to an upper-body injury. His March was chopped up by that injury and a five-game suspension, but he still managed seven points, 15 shots on net and 23 PIM over eight contests when he was in action. For the season, the 39-year-old is up to 15 goals, 53 points, 134 shots on net, 57 PIM and a plus-13 rating across 51 appearances.

Acciari scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Acciari has two goals on eight shots, an assist and a plus-4 rating over his last three games. The 34-year-old has found ways to be productive from the fourth line this season, which has been a strength for the Penguins. Acciari is up to 22 points, 88 shots on net, 64 hits, 55 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances while also providing steady defense and penalty killing.

Horvat recorded three assists, including one on the power play, three shots on goal and a hit in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Horvat has gone three games without a goal, but he continues to make a big impact as a playmaker. This three-assist performance was a season-high mark for the 30-year-old center, and it also matched his best point output in a single game. Horvat has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 18 games since the Olympic break.

Thompson recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Thompson is ending the regular season on a hot streak and has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven appearances, tallying eight points (four goals, four assists) over that stretch. Hr has six points, four PIM, 15 shots and three hits during his four-game point streak. Thompson has been so consistent throughout the season that this is the sixth time that he's recorded points in at least four consecutive games. Thompson is averaging over a point per game with 78 points (38 goals, 40 assists) through 75 contests.

Rakell scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Rakell has found the back of the net in five of his last seven games, a stretch in which he's posted seven goals on 18 shots. That's not a sustainable shooting percentage, but Rakell should remain a popular fantasy option down the stretch. He has 19 points (10 goals, nine helpers) in 19 games since the Olympic break.

Barkey scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

Barkey has two goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 20-year-old is listed in a top-six role, but he hasn't seen more than 15 minutes of ice time since Jan. 29 versus the Bruins. That suggests he's functionally more of a middle-six option, though his recent scoring success could earn him more minutes. For the season, Barkey has five goals, nine assists, 39 shots on net, 37 hits, 19 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 37 appearances in his rookie year.

Larkin scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins.

Larkin has scored twice in the Red Wings' last four games. He has produced two goals and one assist in his last four outings. Larkin has 12 power-play goals this season and should remain a key contributor down the stretch despite the team's struggles.

Miller scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Miller has two goals and four assists during a four-game point streak. The 33-year-old's tally in the first period Tuesday stood as the game-winner. Miller is up to 16 goals, 47 points (15 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 118 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-26 rating through 61 outings this season. Miller has worked fairly well alongside Tye Kartye and Conor Sheary lately while playing in a middle-six capacity.

Lundestrom (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with the Hurricanes, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Luddestrom is currently mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he recorded just one shot. Filling a fourth-line role, the 26-year-old center hasn't produced enough offensive value or category coverage to make him more than a low-end fantasy option this season. If he does miss out, Luca Del Bel Belluz figures to take Lundestrom's spot in the lineup.

McQueen signed an amateur tryout agreement with AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

McQueen hasn't signed an entry-level contract yet with Anaheim, but inking an ATO without locking into an NHL contract will enable him to participate in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 19-year-old had 11 goals, 27 points and 45 PIM in 36 outings with Providence College as a freshman in 2025-26. Anaheim selected him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
