Acciari scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Acciari has two goals on eight shots, an assist and a plus-4 rating over his last three games. The 34-year-old has found ways to be productive from the fourth line this season, which has been a strength for the Penguins. Acciari is up to 22 points, 88 shots on net, 64 hits, 55 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances while also providing steady defense and penalty killing.

Horvat recorded three assists, including one on the power play, three shots on goal and a hit in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Horvat has gone three games without a goal, but he continues to make a big impact as a playmaker. This three-assist performance was a season-high mark for the 30-year-old center, and it also matched his best point output in a single game. Horvat has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 18 games since the Olympic break.

Brazeau scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Brazeau was quiet after an upper-body injury cost him four games in March, going scoreless in his first seven contests back. He ended the month on a high note with four points, five shots on net and six hits over his last two outings. For the season, the 28-year-old is up to 17 goals, 34 points, 100 shots on net, 82 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 57 appearances. Brazeau is currently in a third-line role, so he'll likely continue to provide depth scoring rather than playing a leading role.

Lee scored a goal on two shots while adding four hits, five PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo.

Lee has found the back of the net in back-to-back games. He went seven games in a row without a point between March 5 and March 19, but he's bounced back admirably with six points (three goals, three assists) in his last seven contests. Lee isn't a player known for filling out the stat sheet, as he hasn't posted a multi-point game since December, but he should continue to have upside thanks to his role and a spot on the top line alongside Bo Horvat.

Quinn recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders. He also added seven shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating.

Quinn has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five outings, tallying two goals and three helpers over that stretch. The 24-year-old playmaker hasn't been the most consistent scorer, though. Since the beginning of March, Quinn has six goals in 15 games, but he's also gone at least three consecutive games without a goal three separate times. He remains a valuable fantasy option due to his top-six role, but more consistency on a game-to-game basis would boost his upside.

Thompson recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Thompson is ending the regular season on a hot streak and has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven appearances, tallying eight points (four goals, four assists) over that stretch. Hr has six points, four PIM, 15 shots and three hits during his four-game point streak. Thompson has been so consistent throughout the season that this is the sixth time that he's recorded points in at least four consecutive games. Thompson is averaging over a point per game with 78 points (38 goals, 40 assists) through 75 contests.

Gudas (lower body) is expected to miss Wednesday's game in San Jose, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Gudas also missed Saturday's game against Edmonton before playing through the injury in Monday's match against Toronto. He fought Max Domi and drew roughing penalties from Michael Pezzetta and Jake McCabe. Gudas has two goals, 13 points and 160 hits in 55 outings in 2025-26. He also has 62 PIM this season, including 32 from his past two games against Toronto.

Mantha scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings. He also had two PIM, a hit and three blocked shots.

Mantha has found the back of the net in three straight contests, a run in which he's recorded four goals, an assist, four PIM, nine shots, two hits and four blocked shots. The lack of consistency has been an issue for Mantha, as he went five games in a row without a goal before this ongoing streak, but he should continue to have plenty of opportunities down the stretch. He has 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 17 games since the beginning of March.

Chiarot's point drought reached 19 games in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

Chiarot has 28 shots on net, 45 hits, 36 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating during the slump. His last point was a goal Jan. 29 versus the Capitals. He's stuck on 12 points with 94 shots, 156 hits, 150 blocks, 62 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 74 appearances. He'll fall short of the 20-point mark for the third time in four years with the Red Wings, and he needs one more point to match his output from last season.

Voronkov is expected to be sidelined for at least 10 days due to his hand injury, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Wednesday.

Voronkov was previously deemed week-to-week, but this latest update gives a more concrete timeline. If the 25-year-old center doesn't suffer any setbacks in his recovery, he could return for the final three games of the regular season. Through 63 games this season, the Russian has posted the fewest goals (17) and assists (15) of his three-year NHL career.
