Acciari scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Acciari ended a nine-game point drought with the tally. The 34-year-old continues to play regularly on the Penguins' fourth line and penalty kill. He's contributed seven goals and 16 points over 50 appearances, which is already his best output in three years with the Penguins. Acciari has added 67 shots on net, 51 hits, 40 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-9 rating this season.

Jankowski scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Jankowski had been limited to two assists over his previous eight appearances. The 31-year-old continues to have the inside edge for time on the fourth line, often playing over Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Jankowski is up to 15 points, 46 shots on net, 32 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 51 outings, making this the third year in a row he's earned at least 15 points.

Stankoven scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Stankoven has earned four points over seven contests since the Olympic break. The 23-year-old forward continues to fill a second-line role, and he's serving as a complementary scorer for the Hurricanes. He's up to 12 goals, 29 points, 124 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-9 rating through 64 appearances.

Jarvis scored a goal on nine shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Jarvis has two goals and five assists during his active four-game point streak. The 24-year-old forward's nine shots Tuesday were a season high for him. He's up to 28 goals, 53 points, 180 shots, 77 hits and a plus-11 rating across 56 appearances, putting him on track to top the 30-goal and 60-point marks for the third straight campaign.

Hinostroza scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Making his first appearance for Florida since being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Hinostroza opened the scoring midway through the first period before having a hand in a Niko Mikkola tally early in the third. Hinostroza is making his second career stint as a Panther after suiting up in nine games with the club during the 2020-21 regular season. Through 49 games in 2025-26, he's managed just four goals and 12 points in a bottom-six role.

Barzal scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues. He also delivered two assists, including one on the power play, while adding four shots on goal and a plus-1 rating.

Barzal assisted on the Islanders' first and third goals, courtesy of Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Bo Horvat, before slotting home the game-winner with a wrister at the 2:11 mark in overtime. Barzal has been outstanding for the Islanders of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last 11 games while tallying 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) over that stretch.

Verhaeghe scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Detroit.

Both goals came in the final 90 seconds of the third period, as Verhaeghe flipped the script on what looked like it would be a 3-2 loss for Florida. The 30-year-old had managed only one goal and three points in 11 games before Tuesday's contest. On the season, Verhaeghe has 19 goals and 46 points in 63 appearances.

Ritchie recorded a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

Ritchie came through when the Isles needed him the most in the third period, tallying a goal (which was really an own goal awarded to him) and an assist over a 60-second span. This is also the start of a new point streak for Ritchie, who hadn't cracked the scoresheet in back-to-back games since a four-game point streak between Jan. 15 and Jan. 21.

Kampf (not injury related) isn't expected to play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

Kampf has been going through the process to get a work visa after Washington acquired him from Vancouver on Friday. The 31-year-old has two goals and six points in 38 outings in 2025-26. He'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's available to play for Washington.

Schmaltz signed an eight-year, $64 million contract extension with Utah on Wednesday.

Schmaltz is in the final season of his seven-year, $40.95 million contract and had the option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He has 24 goals and 59 points in 65 outings in 2025-26. The 30-year-old's 24 goals are already a career high, topping his 23 markers during the 2021-22 regular season. He has a good chance of also surpassing his personal best of 63 points, which he established across 82 regular-season outings in 2024-25.
