Marchessault logged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

Marchessault has four helpers (three on the power play) over two games since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him four contests. The winger is up to 53 points (22 on the power play), 201 shots on net, 77 hits and a minus-27 rating over 75 outings. Barring a late surge, he'll finish with his lowest point total in four years, but Marchessault has been decent considering the Predators' overall struggles in 2024-25.

Parssinen scored a goal and added two assists in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Islanders.

This was a huge performance for a guy who has been struggling to stay in the Rangers' lineup. Parssinen may have bought himself a few games to prove his mettle, but the team is in a must-win situation. If he falters, he'll be on the bench. Let someone else snag Parssinen off the wire, as this was his first game since March 25.

Stamkos notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

Stamkos helped out on Filip Forsberg's tally at 1:19 of the third period. Over the last four games, Stamkos has four goals and three assists. The 35-year-old forward has had a few bursts of offense, but he's only managed to put up two point streaks of at least five contests. He's at 27 goals, 25 assists, 21 power-play points, 169 shots on net, 65 hits, 45 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-33 rating over 79 outings in his first year with the Predators.

O'Reilly scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.

O'Reilly earned his first multi-point effort since March 4 in Boston. The center has three goals and three assists over his last nine outings while continuing to play in a top-six role. For the season, he's at 19 goals, 48 points (15 on the power play), 145 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating across 76 appearances.

Coyle logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

Coyle remains hot on offense with a goal and six assists over his last four games. It's a sudden surge of offense, which corresponds to a larger power-play role while the Avalanche navigate a rough patch of injuries. The center is at 31 points (16 goals, 15 assists), 108 shots on net, 108 hits, 60 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 81 appearances between Colorado and Boston this season.

Raty produced an assist, two shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Raty has racked up four points over his last three contests. The 22-year-old has taken advantage of moving up to the third line, which has unlocked steadier offense while the Canucks deal with multiple injuries to centers. Raty has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 76 hits, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 30 appearances this season.

Joshua scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

Joshua has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last seven games, a span in which he has two goals and three assists. The 28-year-old winger is up to 14 points, 52 shots on net, 188 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 54 contests overall. He continues to see bottom-six minutes and is not currently in the power-play mix, so he has little to offer to fantasy managers besides hits and PIM.

Barkov scored in Thursday's 4-1 win over Detroit.

Barkov redirected a point shot past Cam Talbot in the third period to push the score to 4-1. He has two points (one goal, one assist) in his last two games and nine, including three goals, in his last nine contests. Barkov has 69 points (20 goals, 49 assists) in 66 games, and it's the fifth season in a row where he put up more points than games played. This season's minus-1 rating is a strange anomaly after last season's plus-33 rating, but that won't have much of a bearing in most formats.

Rodrigues scored a power-play goal in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.

Rodrigues took a pass in the left circle and drove the net to stuff it past Cam Talbot. It was his first goal in 18 games (two assists). Rodrigues has 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in 79 games this season. It's his fourth consecutive season that he's hit that mark. Rodrigues is a third-line winger who chips in occasionally and sees time on PP2, but there's more value in his on-ice game than his fantasy game.

Aman (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Avalanche, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Aman will miss his fourth straight contest. There's been no update on his status, but it wouldn't be surprising for Aman to be shut down given the Canucks were eliminated from playoff contention due to Wednesday's results. The 25-year-old has managed just six points over 19 outings this season.
