Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over San Jose.

Within minutes of San Jose's opening goal, Nugent-Hopkins responded with an equalizer, which he scored on a power play. Overall, the 32-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, 51 points, 106 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 59 games this season. Since the Olympic break, he's been solid offensively with five goals and six points over 10 games. With Leon Draisaitl (lower body) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Nugent-Hopkins will likely be relied upon for offensive production both at even strength and on the power play. He holds solid fantasy value with a high ceiling for the remainder of the regular season.

Ingram turned aside 27 of 30 shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

After allowing a goal in the first period and two in the second, Ingram kept the Sharks off the scoreboard in the third en route to the win. He now holds an 11-6-2 record, a 2.71 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 22 outings this season. Despite the small sample size, Ingram has been the Oilers' most consistent netminder this season. Since March 3, he hasn't lost in regulation, posting a 4-0-1 record, a 2.61 GAA and an .898 save percentage across six outings. He's a decent fantasy option for spot starts during the fantasy playoffs and could be back in the net during Thursday's home clash with the Panthers.

Nedeljkovic stopped 32 of 37 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

Despite keeping the Oilers off the scoreboard in the second period, the Oilers got to Nedeljkovic three times in the opening stanza and twice in the third. With Tuesday's loss, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 13-10-3 record, a 2.85 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 30 games this season. The loss marked Nedeljkovic's first regulation defeat since Jan. 31 after his 3-0-1 start to post-Olympic action. He remains a solid option in deep fantasy leagues given the right matchup. With Yaroslav Askarov (lower body) still day-to-day, Nedeljkovic has a decent chance to appear in Thursday's home clash with the Sabres.

Connor recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Connor was unable to extend his goal streak, but it wasn't for a lack of trying, as the seven shots he had in the contest were his third-highest mark of the season. Still, the 29-year-old pushed his point streak to four games, and he's cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his 11 appearances since the Olympics. Over that stretch, Connor has racked up 14 points (six goals, eight assists), 35 shots, 10 hits and four blocked shots while adding a plus-6 rating.

Hellebuyck stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Hellebuyck was on the verge of losing in regulation, but Jonathan Toews' late third-period equalizer forced overtime and, ultimately, a shootout. Hellebuyck was unable to deliver in that decisive stage, and he has dropped three of his last four outings. Despite the Jets' recent struggles, Hellebuyck has a 2.63 GAA and a .902 save percentage in nine appearances since the Olympic break.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal on six shots and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Vilardi went pointless in the Jets' previous two games, but for the most part, the 26-year-old has been a steady contributor. He has three goals and four points over his last six appearances, a stretch in which he's also averaging 2.75 shots per game. Vilardi has been particularly productive in power-play situations, where he's scored 10 of his 26 goals this season.

Haula scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Haula broke the deadlock for the Predators at the 13:02 mark of the first period with his 11th goal of the campaign, and his first in the power play since late December. Haula only has two goals and three points in 10 games since the Olympic break, and considering he holds a bottom-six role, Haula shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy upside ahead of the final weeks of the regular season.

Wood scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Wood gave the Predators a 3-2 lead late in the third period with a snap shot to score his 15th goal of the season. The 21-year-old has been productive in his first full year in the NHL, generating 25 points through 56 appearances. Wood has been on a tear of late with six points (five goals, one assist) over his last six games. He has failed to crack the scoresheet on only one occasion in that span.

Saros stopped 36 of 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Saros was beaten once in each period during regulation, but the 30-year-old stepped up in the shootout and stopped all three shots to carry the Predators to victory. Saros has gone 3-1-1 with a 2.72 GAA and a .911 save percentage over his last five outings.

Forsberg recorded a goal on five shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Jets.

Forsberg snapped a four-game pointless skid, but he has been producing at nearly a point-per-game pace since the Olympic break. Over his last 10 games, the 31-year-old veteran is up to eight points (five goals, three assists), 37 shots, six hits and five blocked shots. With 3.7 shots per game over that span and a steady top-six role, Forsberg should continue to generate tons of scoring opportunities on a steady basis.
