Gregor notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Gregor had gone 23 games without a point, and also missed 23 games in that stretch between a lower-body injury, visa paperwork and healthy scratches. This was his first point in his second stint with the Sharks after he was traded from the Senators at the deadline in the Fabian Zetterlund deal. Gregor has just seven points, 57 shots on net, 92 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating across 50 appearances this season, so he's not likely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Frost notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Frost has three helpers over his last four contests. He set up Yegor Sharangovich on the game-winning goal at 1:30 of the third period. This was Frost's first even-strength point since March 4 -- his previous five assists, over a span of 12 games, were all on the power play. The center is now at 36 points, 139 shots on net, 68 hits, 60 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating across 79 appearances between the Flames and the Flyers this season.

Backlund notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Backlund is playing some of his best hockey of the season with five points and 13 shots on net over his last five contests. The center set up a Matthew Coronato tally in the third period Sunday. Backlund is up to 29 points, 130 shots on net, 41 hits, 49 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances. He hasn't finished with fewer than 30 points since 2014-15, and he'll have up to two more chances to avoid that fate this season.

Coleman notched an assist, five shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Coleman stayed warm when he helped out on a Matthew Coronato tally in the third period. Over the last six games, Coleman has contributed two goals and four assists. The 33-year-old forward is up to 38 points, 191 shots on net, 174 hits, 62 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 80 appearances. His three highest-scoring seasons have been the last three years with the Flames, and Coleman still has two contests left to make a push for his second 40-point campaign.

Kadri logged an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Kadri has two goals and three assists over his last six outings. He found Adam Klapka with a pass across the front of the net for a tap-in on the Flames' second goal. Kadri has been steady throughout 2024-25, earning 32 goals, 31 assists, 272 shots on net, 55 hits, 72 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 80 appearances. This is his third-best season in terms of points earned, and two of those top-three years have been the last two seasons with Calgary.

Huberdeau notched two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Huberdeau's offense has slowed down dramatically since late March -- he has just a goal and two assists over his last nine outings. Prior to that stretch, he logged 12 points in an eight-game span. Despite Huberdeau's stumble, the Flames remain in the playoff race. Even with the late slide, he's at 61 points (28 goals, 33 helpers), 152 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 50 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 80 appearances this season. It's his highest point total in three years with Calgary, and he's now exceeded 60 points six times in his career.

Horvat netted an even-strength goal on a game-high six shots and went plus-1 in Sunday's 1-0 win over New Jersey.

Horvat was in the right place at the right time when he intercepted a Timo Meier pass in the slot and ripped a shot past Jacob Markstrom late in the second period. The 30-year-old Horvat has scored in back-to-back games, which puts him two goals shy of 30, a mark he has reached in three straight campaigns. New York has two games left on its schedule, so that feat remains a possibility for Horvat. The left-shot center has been productive at even strength in 2024-25, but just seven of his 57 points (28 goals, 29 helpers) have come on the power play, a considerable downturn from the 18 he garnered in 2023-24.

Sharangovich scored two goals on four shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Sharangovich put the Flames up 3-2 at 1:30 of the third period, and he added an empty-netter with less than three minutes to go. The 26-year-old's offense is coming alive at just the right time -- he has four goals over his last three games to help the Flames stay in the playoff race right down to the wire. Overall, he's up to 17 goals, 31 points, 126 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 71 appearances. Sharangovich has never missed the 30-point mark in his five NHL seasons, but it took some effort to get there while playing in a middle-six role this year.

Scheifele notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-4 rating in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

Scheifele has gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of the last 12 games, earning three goals and eight assists in that span. The center set up an Alex Iafallo goal in the second period. Scheifele is at 38 goals, 48 helpers, 177 shots on net, 73 hits, 58 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 81 appearances. If he suits up Wednesday, it would be the third time that Scheifele will have played in all 82 games and his fifth season of playing in every available contest since he didn't miss a game in 2019-20 or 2020-21.

Ryan notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Ryan is with the Oilers on an emergency recall since the team has four of its regular forwards unavailable. This was his first NHL game since March 26 and his first point since Jan. 4. The 38-year-old is at six points, 20 shots on net, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. It's possible he stays with the big club for the playoffs, especially if AHL Bakersfield doesn't qualify for the minor-league postseason.
