Bobrovsky posted a 21-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

Bobrovsky was outstanding throughout the game, and the fact that he earned a shutout against a team led by none other than Connor McDavid makes it even more impressive. This was a big bounce-back effort for Bobrovsky, who allowed five goals on 22 shots against the Canucks on Tuesday. That performance against Vancouver was a bump in the road, though, as Bobrovsky has now allowed one or fewer goals in his other three starts dating back to March 6. He has gone 3-3-0 with a 2.51 GAA and a .906 save percentage in six outings since the beginning of March.

O'Reilly scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

This was O'Reilly's second goal of the month, but the lack of productivity hasn't been due to a lack of chances since the 35-year-old veteran has recorded at least two shots on goal in seven of his eight contests in March. O'Reilly has been productive despite the recent slump, as he has 62 points (23 goals, 39 assists) in 67 games this season. As long as he continues to skate on the first line and attempt enough shots, the goals should come for O'Reilly.

Daccord stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Predators. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Daccord was beaten once in the first period and once more in the second. By the time the Predators closed out the scoring with Filip Forsberg's third goal, Daccord was already on the bench as Seattle was pushing forward for a late equalizer with an extra attacker. Daccord has posted a save percentage of at least .920 in his last two appearances, and he should continue to have a slight edge in terms of playing time over Philipp Grubauer.

Ingram stopped 19 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers.

Ingram was coming off back-to-back wins, but that brief streak ended abruptly Thursday. This was far from his best performance, but the offense didn't give him any support either. Ingram has now allowed three or more goals in three of his last four starts, a span during which he's posted a 2.70 GAA and an .895 save percentage while going 2-1-1.

Toews scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Bruins.

Toews has scored in consecutive contests. This was his first power-play tally since Jan. 15 versus the Wild. The 37-year-old center is up to nine goals, 23 points (six with the man advantage), 93 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 68 outings.

Gaudreau scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.

Gaudreau scored the Kraken's lone goal in this loss, but he's not known for being much of a scoring force. This was just his fifth goal of the campaign, and it was also the first time he found the back of the net since Jan. 5 in a win over the Flames. Considering his fourth-line role and 9.3 percent shooting across his 54 appearances in 2025-26, Gaudreau is not expected to be much of a scoring force in the final weeks of the regular season.

Peeke registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Peeke ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched three times in that span, most recently Monday versus the Devils, which suggests Peeke is losing his grip on a full-time role. The 28-year-old has a modest 13 points, 67 shots on net, 84 hits, 117 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 65 appearances.

Mittelstadt notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Mittelstadt has four helpers over his last five games. While he hasn't scored in nine contests, he remains a productive playmaker from a second-line role for the Bruins. The 27-year-old is up to 36 points, 70 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 59 appearances.

Gustavsson will tend the twine at home against Dallas on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gustavsson has been splitting the workload with Jesper Wallstedt of late, starting in four of the Wild's last eight contests. In those outings, the 27-year-old Gustavsson is 3-1-0 with a 2.28 GAA and one shutout. While the team may continue to divide the work in the regular season, it will likely be Gustavsson's net come the playoffs.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash versus Dallas, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Eriksson Ek will sit out his third straight game. The 29-year-old center has 17 goals, 27 assists, 92 hits, a plus-13 rating and 28 blocked shots across 62 outings this season. He is day-to-day and could return as early as Tuesday in Tampa Bay.
