Nazar scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Islanders.

After helping to set up Nick Lardis for Chicago's first goal midway through the first period, Nazar gave his team a 4-1 lead early in the second stanza. Nazar has five multi-point performances in the last 10 games, racking up five goals and 11 points over that stretch.

Frondell notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

In his NHL debut, the third overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft set up Ilya Mikheyev's breakaway goal late in the first period. Frondell should get a long look over the final weeks of the season in a top-six role. The 18-year-old also had two shots on net, two blocked shots and one hit in 15:43 of ice time.

Gregor scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Seattle.

After being called up from AHL Charlotte to provide some depth, Gregor made a surprising impact. He received credit for a goal that Shane Wright put into his own net. Gregor has just two goals and five points in 25 NHL games this season, and his fourth-line assignment makes a repeat performance highly unlikely for however long he's up with the big club.

Larkin scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Making his return from a seven-game absence due to a leg injury, Larkin found the back of the net early in the third period for the game's final goal. The 29-year-old star has 29 goals in 64 games on the season, leaving him one short of his fifth straight 30-goal campaign.

Paul logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

Paul set up Brandon Hagel for the first of the Lightning's two empty-net goals. This was Paul's first point in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. A couple of lengthy absences have kept Paul's scoring numbers down this season -- he's at 13 points, 52 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-11 rating over 40 appearances. He will have limited fantasy upside as long as he remains in the bottom six.

Colton scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Penguins.

Colton capped the scoring for the Avalanche in his return from a six-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old slotted onto the second line, but he may move down to the third line once Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) and Nicolas Roy (upper body) are healthy. Colton has been limited to nine goals, 24 points, 138 shots on net, 138 hits and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances this season, down from 29 points in the same number of regular-season outings a year ago.

Tavares logged three assists, including two on the power play, and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Bruins.

Tavares has earned three goals and eight assists over 12 outings in March. The 35-year-old center is doing his part on offense in the absence of Auston Matthews (knee/quad), though it's too little and too late to change Toronto's fate this year. Tavares reached the 60-point mark Tuesday, a level he's hit in all but three years of his 17-season career, with two of the exceptions being shortened campaigns in 2012-13 and 2020-21, and the other being his rookie year. Tavares also has 175 shots on net, 62 hits and a minus-26 rating over 72 contests in 2025-26.

Pettersson registered two power-play assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

Just a week after reaching the 200-goal mark in his career, Pettersson has earned his 300th assist and 500th point. He accomplished the milestone in 533 regular-season contests, though he has struggled in the last two years to match the potential he showed early in his career. This season, the 27-year-old center is at 15 goals, 28 helpers, 108 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 55 hits and a minus-21 rating over 62 appearances, production nearly identical to what he did in 2024-25.

Carlsson provided two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Carlsson helped out on a Mikael Granlund tally in the second period and Troy Terry's empty-netter late in the third. This was Carlsson's second two-assist effort in a row, giving him three goals and five helpers over his last five contests. The Swedish center is up to the 60-point mark for the first time in his three-year career, and he's added 153 shots on net, 31 PIM, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 59 appearances.

McTavish scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

McTavish had gone 14 games without a goal prior to Tuesday. He was scratched twice in that span and also missed five games in January due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old center's inconsistency on offense lately makes him risky for fantasy, especially since head coach Joel Quenneville has had McTavish buried on the fourth line. For the season, McTavish is at 14 goals, 34 points, 124 shots on net, 77 hits, 31 blocked shots and 40 PIM over 64 appearances.
