Kraken's Ben Meyers: One of each Sunday
Meyers scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Meyers opened the scoring at 5:28 of the first period, deflecting in a Ryan Winterton shot. The two reversed roles on the third goal of the frame as Meyers set up Winterton for what would be the game-winner. With four points over seven outings in March, Meyers has done well from a fourth-line role. The 27-year-old is now at seven goals, eight assists, 54 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances this season.

Kraken's Berkly Catton: Two points in Sunday's win
Catton scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Catton snapped an 11-game point drought, which also included a three-game stint on injured reserve. The 20-year-old has been in above his head a bit this season, though he has maintained a third-line role lately. Catton is now at six goals, 13 points, 59 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over his first 50 NHL contests.

Bobby McMann C | SEA
Kraken's Bobby McMann: Two more points in win
McMann scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
McMann did his damage in the third period, scoring midway through the frame before setting up Jamie Oleksiak on a play at the top of the crease a few minutes later. If there was any doubt about McMann's fit with the Kraken, he has dispelled it quickly with five points over his first two games wearing the tentacled S. For the season, the winger has 22 goals, 15 assists, six power-play points, 133 shots on net, 141 hits and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances between Seattle and Toronto.

Fedor Svechkov C | COL
Predators' Fedor Svechkov: Pots lone goal in loss
Svechkov scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
Svechkov has a goal and three assists over five games since he was recalled from AHL Milwaukee. His tally Sunday kept Nashville from getting shut out by Connor Ingram. Svechkov is still playing in a bottom-six role, so it's not wise to count on his offense to last in the long run. He's at three goals, 13 points, 58 shots on net, 47 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Connor McDavid C | EDM
Oilers' Connor McDavid: Distributes three apples
McDavid notched three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
McDavid's first helper was on the power play, and all three assists were primaries. Since the Olympics, the superstar center has three goals and 15 helpers over 10 contests. He's now at 37 goals, 77 assists, 247 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 68 appearances this season. At his season-long scoring pace (1.68 points per game), he would earn another 23 points over the last 14 games of the regular season, which would give him the second-highest scoring season of his career if he's able to play at that lofty level.

Matthew Savoie C | EDM
Oilers' Matt Savoie: Nets game-winner Sunday
Savoie scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Savoie notably stayed on the top line despite Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (personal) returning to the lineup after a one-game absence. The plum assignment helped Savoie snap an eight-game goal drought, a span in which he still mustered five assists. The 22-year-old is growing in confidence and responsibility, and he's a high-end pick-up in fantasy if he stays on the top line moving forward. For the season, the Alberta native has 11 goals, 27 points, 98 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 68 outings.

Zach Hyman LW | EDM
Oilers' Zach Hyman: Fills empty cage
Hyman scored an empty-net goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Hyman's pace has dropped a bit lately with just two points over his last five games. He had seven points in the five contests before that. The 33-year-old winger is up to 28 tallies, 45 points, 147 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-10 rating over 49 appearances, surpassing his scoring totals of 27 goals and 44 points in 73 regular-season outings a year ago.

Benoit-Olivier Groulx C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Benoit-Olivier Groulx: Tallies twice in win
Groulx scored two goals in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Wild.
Groulx has three tallies on seven shots while adding 15 hits and a plus-4 rating through four NHL appearances this season. The 26-year-old looks to have a chance to stick in the lineup as a middle-six center since Auston Matthews (knee/quad) is out for the season. Groulx's usage is intriguing, but he's unlikely to be more than a depth forward in the long run.

Leon Draisaitl C | EDM
Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: No update on status after game
Draisaitl suffered an undisclosed injury during Sunday's 3-1 win over Nashville, and there was no update on his status after the game, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Draisaitl took a hit from Ozzy Wiesblatt in the first period, which resulted in the former exiting the game. Draisaitl opened the scoring against the Predators with a power-play marker, extending his point streak to nine games (six goals, 11 helpers) in the process. Considering head coach Kris Knoblauch did not have any information to relay about Draisaitl's status, the 30-year-old all-world forward should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home divisional matchup against San Jose.

Alex Wennberg C | SJ
Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: No timeline for return
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Sunday that Wennberg (upper body) has no timeline for a return to the lineup, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Wennberg suffered his upper-body injury during Saturday's 4-2 win in Montreal. Igor Chernyshov is also dealing with an upper-body injury, so Pavol Regenda and Philipp Kurashev got back into the lineup in Sunday's 7-4 loss in Ottawa. The Sharks conclude their road trip Tuesday in Edmonton, so a more substantial update on Wennberg's status may not be available until the team returns to San Jose.
