Zucker had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

Zucker's goal -- his 20th of the season -- stood as the winner. He is on a three-game goal streak (four goals, two assists), and he has 12 shots in that span. Zucker leads the Sabres with five game-winning goals despite playing in just 46 games. In comparison, Tage Thompson, who has played in 65 games, has four.

McLeod had three assists in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

McLeod has four assists over his last two games and six points, including five assists, over his last five games. His 48 points (12 goals, 36 assists) in 65 games put McLeod on pace for his first-ever 60-point season. He's been a strong fit on the second line, and his leadership has been in invaluable to the Sabres.

Dahlin had three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

Dahlin is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak. He has five PIM and four shots in that span. Dahlin has 60 points in 61 games, a pace that would see him flirt with a career mark in points. His best season came in 2022-23 when he delivered 73 points (15 goals, 58 assists) in 78 games.

Quinn scored a hat trick and had an assist in a 6-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.

It was Quinn's first hattie and first four-point game in the NHL. He ended a 12-game goal drought. Quinn's teammates were raving to reporters about the forward after the game: "Every practice, every day, he's in here in the shooting room working on his game," said Beck Malenstyn. "He has such a knack for scoring, such a gift to be able to do it. He contorts his body in ways that I think my back would go out if I tried to, and what he can put on the puck is just incredible." Quinn had been quiet since the break, putting up just two assists in seven games prior to Tuesday. Overall, the winger has 15 goals, 28 assists and 141 shots in 65 games. That puts him on pace where he could finish with a career-best 55 points this season.

Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Columbus.

It was a point shot through traffic. Moser has four points, including two goals, in his last two games. His two shots Tuesday pushed him to 94 this season -- that's a career high. Moser has seven goals and 17 assists in 61 games this season. Those seven goals equal his career mark, which he set in Arizona in 2022-23.

Milic logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 4-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Milic has recorded shutouts in consecutive games, giving him three on the year. He's up to 14-7-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Milic's recent momentum could position him well for a call-up if something happens to one of the Jets' NHL netminders.

Barron scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Barron has three goals on nine shots over his last three contests. The 27-year-old's tally opened the scoring Tuesday, but the Ducks took control with two goals in a span of 14 seconds just over a minute after Barron scored. Barron has 10 goals, 20 points, 84 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-7 rating through 54 appearances this season. He's one goal and one point shy of matching his career highs in each category.

Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Hellebuyck's three-game winning streak came to a close. This was his first regulation loss since Feb. 4 versus the Canadiens. The 32-year-old netminder has at least looked pretty good recently, though his two worst outings have seen him give up eight goals on 74 shots against the Ducks. For the season, Hellebuyck is down to 16-17-9 with a 2.74 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 42 starts. The Jets have a more favorable matchup ahead Thursday when they host the Rangers.

Vasilevskiy made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

It wasn't Vasilevskiy's fault. Coach Jon Cooper summed things up to reporters after the game: "Tonight was abnormally bad... This little rut we're in has lasted a lot longer than I anticipated." Tampa Bay has lost six of seven. Vasilevskiy is 1-4-0 in that span.

Washe scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Washe earned his first goal since Jan. 16 versus the Kings. The 24-year-old is currently filling a fourth-line role, so there's not a lot of fantasy value to gather from his play. He's put up two goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 48 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 21 appearances with the Ducks this season.
