Pastrnak scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Pastrnak opened the scoring in the first period and set up a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the second. In overtime, Pastrnak played provider again, feeding Pavel Zacha for the winning goal. This performance was the sixth multi-point effort during Pastrnak's 11-game point streak, a span in which he's accumulated seven goals and 11 assists. The 29-year-old winger is playing at a superstar level as he tries to help the Bruins secure a playoff spot. He's up to 29 goals, 90 points, 232 shots on net, 78 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 67 appearances. Pastrnak would need 10 points over the Bruins' last 10 games to get to the 100-point mark for the fourth year in a row.

Korpisalo stopped 22 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Korpisalo had a lapse in the third period, giving up goals to Zach Benson and Jason Zucker just 33 seconds apart. The Bruins bounced back and won it on a Pavel Zacha tally 38 seconds into overtime. Korpisalo picked up just his second win in his last six outings, and he was under a .900 save percentage for the fifth time in that span despite the victory. For the season, the Finnish netminder is at a 12-9-4 record with a 3.28 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 27 appearances. The Bruins have a back-to-back over the weekend, hosting the Wild on Saturday before visiting the Blue Jackets on Sunday. Expect Korpisalo to split those starts with Jeremy Swayman, but with the Bruins in the thick of the playoff race, Swayman might get doubled up in one or more of the team's last three back-to-back sets this season.

Fox recorded two power-play assists and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fox has a goal and 10 assists over 13 outings in March after missing nearly all of December and January due to injuries. The 28-year-old defenseman will miss the 60-point mark for the first time since 2020-21, but he's maintained his usual high-end scoring pace with 39 points, 73 shots on net and 63 blocked shots over 45 appearances this season. Over a full season, that would put him around a 70-point pace, which is his established peak in his career.

Lafreniere scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Lafreniere's first assist also came with a man advantage. The 24-year-old winger has earned six points, 14 shots and a plus-1 rating over his last five appearances. Lafreniere reached the 50-point mark for the second time in his six-year career with this effort -- he's at 21 goals, 29 helpers, 11 power-play points, 146 shots on net, 82 hits and 40 blocked shots over 72 outings this season. He's eight points away from setting a new career high.

Zibanejad scored twice on 10 shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Zibanejad was a powerhouse in this contest, netting a power-play goal in the second period and an even-strength tally in the third. He's gotten on the scoresheet in nine of 13 games in March, earning eight goals and eight assists this month. Overall, the 32-year-old is up to 32 goals, 69 points (31 on the power play), 196 shots on net, 94 hits, 46 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating over 71 appearances. With a push, he could get back over the 80-point mark for the first time in three years.

Shesterkin stopped 14 of 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

The Rangers actually showed up for this game, unlike their poor performance Monday, but Shesterkin didn't do his part against a light workload. This was his fourth loss in a row, and he's allowed 14 goals on 112 shots (.875 save percentage) in that span. For the season, the 30-year-old netminder is down to 22-16-6 with a 2.59 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 45 starts. The Rangers' next game is Friday at home versus the Blackhawks.

Maccelli notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Maccelli hasn't scored in seven games, but he has five assists in that span. The winger is filling a middle-six role and remains on the second power-play unit, but his offense tends to be a bit sporadic, and he offers no upside in non-scoring areas. He's earned 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) with 84 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 62 outings this season.

McCabe scored a goal, blocked four shots, doled out two hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

McCabe took advantage of a second chance, capitalizing after a loose puck popped out of a net-front scramble in the first period. The 32-year-old defenseman has three points over his last four contests, though he still earns his money in the defensive zone. He's put up four goals, 23 points, 66 shots on net, 173 blocked shots, 95 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 71 appearances this season.

Robertson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Robertson had been limited to two assists and eight shots on net over his last eight contests. The winger ended the goal drought at 12:08 of the first period to put the Maple Leafs up 2-0 after converting on a feed from Max Domi. Robertson is up to 14 goals, 30 points, 113 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-7 rating over 69 appearances. He's emerged as a decent middle-six forward for Toronto, but even with a career year on offense, he's only an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Tavares scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Tavares has three goals and three assists during his active four-game point streak. The 35-year-old's tally stood as the game-winner Wednesday. He has earned 16 points over his last 18 contests and is in a good position to stay hot to close out the year as the Maple Leafs' top center. Tavares is up to 26 goals, 61 points, 177 shots on net, 63 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-25 rating over 73 appearances.
