Flames' Devin Cooley: Surprises Lightning in overtime
Cooley stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
The Flames couldn't hold onto a 3-1 lead in regulation, but Cooley kept them from falling behind. Ryan Strome provided the heroics with the game-winning goal in overtime, giving Cooley consecutive wins for the first time since Jan. 10-15. The 28-year-old Cooley is up to 9-9-4 with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Cooley and Dustin Wolf have alternated starts over the last week-plus, which could be how the workload goes for the rest of the season with Calgary far adrift in the standings.

Quinn has picked up the pace with five goals and two assists over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old forward helped the Sabres work on a comeback in the third period in this contest.

Josh Doan RW | BUF
Sabres' Josh Doan: Puts away goal Sunday
Doan scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Doan has two goals and an assist over his last four games. The 24-year-old forward remains in a middle-six role and has supplied solid depth scoring throughout the season. He's now at 23 goals, 47 points, 157 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-5 rating over 71 appearances. Doan doesn't stand out all that much in any area, but the overall body of work is worthy of consideration in fantasy.

Alex Tuch RW | WAS
Sabres' Alex Tuch: Pots opening goal in loss
Tuch scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Tuch has been out of the lineup a couple of times recently due to an illness and a lower-body issue, but both absences were just one game. The absences sapped some of his momentum on offense -- prior to the first absence, he had a seven-game point streak going. The 29-year-old winger is up to 29 goals, 59 points, 166 shots on net, 72 hits, 77 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 68 outings this season. He's on the precipice of reaching the 60-point mark for the third time in four years.

Owen Power D | BUF
Sabres' Owen Power: Goal, assist in overtime loss
Power scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Power snapped a three-game slump with this effort. He set up Alex Tuch's opening goal in the first period and scored to tie the game at 4-4 midway through the third. The 23-year-old Power has contributed decent offense in a top-four role this season, though he isn't currently in the power-play mix. The blueliner has a career-high eight goals but has added just 18 helpers with 105 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 70 appearances.

Zach Benson LW | BUF
Sabres' Zach Benson: Adds two more points Sunday
Benson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Benson played a big role in the third period, helping out on a Jack Quinn goal before eventually giving the Sabres a 5-4 lead with his own tally. This was Benson's second multi-point effort in a row, and he has two goals and four assists over his last five contests. The 20-year-old winger is currently in a bottom-six role, which could limit his output. He has nine goals, 34 points, 90 shots on net and a plus-24 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Nate Schmidt D | UTA
Mammoth's Nate Schmidt: Leaves game due to illness
Schmidt didn't finish Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings because of an illness, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.
Schmidt did not play in the final frame of Sunday's win after logging one shot and one hit in 12:26 of ice time across the first two periods. The 34-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home matchup versus Edmonton.
-
Alex Lyon G | BUF
Sabres' Alex Lyon: Yields six goals in overtime loss
Lyon stopped 27 of 33 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Lyon's six-game winning streak came to an end with one of his worst outings of the season. He had not given up more than three goals in any game during his streak. The 33-year-old is at a 20-8-4 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 34 contests this season. Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have alternated starts lately, and one hiccup by Lyon shouldn't be enough to cause head coach Lindy Ruff to deviate from that pattern. If it holds, Luukkonen would face the Bruins on Wednesday while Lyon's next start would be against the Red Wings on Friday.

Leo Carlsson C | ANA
Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Dishes pair of helpers
Carlsson recorded two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.
Carlsson set up Chris Kreider's first-period tally and also helped out on Mikael Granlund's equalizer late in the third. Carlsson has earned three goals and three assists over his last four games, and his effort Sunday gave him his first power-play points since Feb. 27 versus the Jets. The top-line center is up to 58 points (16 on the power play), 150 shots on net, 31 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 58 outings.
