Granlund logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Granlund has gone seven games without a goal since his March 26 hat trick versus the Flames. He had picked up just one assist over his prior six contests before adding two more in this lopsided win. The 34-year-old forward is up to 37 points (19 goals, 18 helpers), 11 power-play points, 108 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 55 appearances this season. Granlund will likely continue to see middle-six usage with ice time in all situations.

Sennecke notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Sennecke set up Alex Killorn in the second period and helped out on the second goal of John Carlson's hat trick in the third, a power-play tally midway through the frame. The 20-year-old Sennecke had gone eight games without a multi-point effort. The rookie winger is up to 60 points (23 goals, 37 helpers), including 13 on the power play, while adding 191 shots on net, 95 hits, 58 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 79 appearances. Only Montreal's Ivan Demidov (61) has more points among rookies this season.

Doan scored twice and added a blocked shot Thursday in a 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Doan is on a three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists), and he has 25 goals and 51 points through 80 games this season, marking a considerable bump in production compared to his first two seasons in the league. Doan could push for the 30-goal, 60-point and 100-hit thresholds by next season, making him an intriguing fantasy option for the 2026-27 campaign.

Terry logged two power-play assists, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Terry had gone three contests without a point entering Thursday. The 28-year-old winger is up to 56 points over 58 outings this season, his highest total in the last three years. He's done that despite missing time due to injuries, and he's yet to score a power-play goal, though he has earned 11 helpers with the man advantage. Terry also has 154 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating while mainly playing in the top six.

Vatrano scored a goal and added three hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Vatrano added an insurance tally with 2:28 left in the third period. The 32-year-old has been scratched for six of the Ducks' previous 10 games, including Tuesday, when the team opted to dress eight defensemen. That's not a ringing endorsement of where Vatrano's game is at -- his goal Thursday ended a nine-game drought. He's produced just nine points, 78 shots on net, 83 hits, 40 PIM, 28 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 49 appearances and may be just a part-time player moving forward.

Killorn scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Killorn has earned two goals and assist over five games in April. The 36-year-old is filling a middle-six role and offering steady offense for that assignment. He's up to 14 goals, 31 points, 140 shots on net, 69 hits, 29 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 79 appearances this season.

Carlsson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Carlsson has four goals over his last six games, adding 22 shots on net in that span. The 21-year-old center is up to 28 goals, 65 points, 177 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 67 outings in a top-line role. Carlsson has taken a big step forward to be a near point-per-game player in his third NHL campaign, and that bodes well for his future as he's still years away from being in his prime.

Carlson scored three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Carlson had an even-strength goal in the first period that stood as the game-winner, and he added two power-play tallies in the third. Remarkably, he never had a hat trick in 1,143 games for the Capitals, but it took him just 13 contests for the Ducks to achieve the feat. The blueliner is up to 14 goals, 58 points, 150 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 68 appearances between the two teams this season, including 12 points since he joined Anaheim.

Dostal allowed one goal on 19 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

The Ducks held their ground in the race for the top spot in the Pacific Division while making their in-state rivals' path to the playoffs a lot harder. This performance ended Dostal's four-game losing streak, a span in which he surrendered 18 goals on 108 shots. Through 54 appearances this season, Dostal is up to 30-19-3 with a 3.09 GAA and an .890 save percentage. This is the first time he's reached the 30-win mark, though he has the worst ratios of his career as his quality of play has faded for a couple of extended stretches. The Ducks have a favorable matchup ahead when they host the Canucks on Sunday for the last home game in Anaheim in the regular season.

Gross scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Gross was in the lineup because Ryan Strome (illness) was a late scratch. The 23-year-old Gross cashed in a goal to spoil Mackenzie Blackwood's shutout bid with 2:52 left in the third period. Gross put the puck in again after that, but that goal was wiped out for the play being offside. This was his third NHL contest, and he's added three shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to begin his career. It's unclear if he'll retain a spot in the lineup once Strome and Blake Coleman (personal) are ready to get back in the lineup.
