Steel scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Mammoth.

Steel has three points over his last three games. The 28-year-old forward continues to do well in a middle-six role, offering depth scoring with a little physicality to balance the Stars' offense. Steel has 12 goals and 32 points, both career highs, while adding 79 shots on net, 74 hits, 24 PIM, 26 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 67 appearances.

Schmidt scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Schmidt had a four-point game Jan. 17 versus Seattle and then went 18 contests without getting on the scoresheet. He snapped the drought with a second-period tally Monday. Schmidt has five goals and 14 assists over 68 appearances this season, identically matching his offensive output from 80 regular-season outings with the Panthers last year. He's added 71 shots on net, 72 hits, 87 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating in 2025-26, providing some defensive stability on the Mammoth's blue line.

Yamamoto scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

Yamamoto ended an 11-game point drought with the third-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He's been a bottom-six regular lately despite his lack of offense. He's up to 10 goals, 18 points, 42 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-10 rating over 46 appearances, his best campaign in three seasons since he left the Oilers.

McBain scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added five PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

McBain had gone without a point over the first eight games of March. He broke a 2-2 deadlock in the third period with his shortie, which sparked a rally for the Mammoth. McBain is up to seven goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 242 hits, 40 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 68 appearances in a middle-six role. He's been unlucky this year, shooting just 7.1 percent after never posting a season lower than 14.1 percent in his first three full NHL campaigns.

Trocheck scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged four hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Trocheck has two goals and six assists over six games since he was scratched once for roster management. The 32-year-old is still a quality player and a leader on offense for the Rangers, where he should continue to be a multi-category threat in fantasy for the rest of the season. He has 14 goals, 47 points (15 on the power play), 93 shots on net, 154 hits, 50 PIM, 42 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 52 appearances.

Grubauer will protect the home net against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, according to Sound of Hockey.

Grubauer is coming off a 32-save performance in Saturday's 5-2 win over Vancouver. He has a 12-8-3 record this campaign with a 2.52 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 26 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks fourth in the league with 3.49 goals per game this season, but the team has lost seven of 10 games since returning from the Olympic break.

Doughty scored a goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Doughty has scored twice over his last four contests. The veteran defenseman is up to five goals, 18 points, 77 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 31 hits and 34 PIM over 57 outings. He surpassed his point total from the 2024-25 regular season with this goal, though he had 17 points in 30 games last year, so it's clear Doughty has taken a step back in 2025-26.

Moore scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Moore has two goals and two assists over his last six games. The 30-year-old winger continues to play on the second line, and it appears he's unlocked a little more offense since the Kings went to D.J. Smith as interim head coach. For the season, Moore is up to nine goals, 20 points, 110 shots on net, 42 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 54 appearances.

Jokiharju produced an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Jokiharju had been a healthy scratch over the previous seven games. He's played just 11 times in 26 contests since the start of January. The 26-year-old blueliner has 10 helpers, 32 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 23 hits and 12 PIM over 36 outings this season, matching his point total from 60 games between Boston and Buffalo in 2024-25. It's still on the lower end of his usual production range.

Zacha scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Zacha has five goals and four helpers over eight outings in March. He reached the 20-goal mark for the year Monday -- it's a level he's achieved in three of his four seasons with the Bruins. The 28-year-old has 47 points (17 on the power play), 103 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-2 rating over 64 contests. He'll set a career high in goals if he can score twice more this season.
