Greig registered two assists, three shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Greig has picked up the pace with a goal and four assists over his last four outings. Prior to that stretch, he had logged just one goal over 10 games. The 23-year-old forward is up to 33 points this season -- one shy of matching his total from 78 regular-season contests a year ago. He's added 123 shots on net, 89 hits, 81 PIM, 50 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 72 appearances in a middle-six role.

Giroux scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Giroux ended a six-game point drought with the tally to seal up this win. The 38-year-old forward remains listed on the Senators' top line, but he has functioned as a middle-six winger for the bulk of the season. He's at 13 goals, 45 points, 124 shots on net, 65 hits, 26 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 77 appearances, offering decent offense despite a slight decline from his 50-point effort in the 2024-25 regular season.

Cozens scored a power-play goal on four shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Cozens has three goals and a helper over his last five outings. His tally Sunday was his first power-play point in a month. The 25-year-old center is up to 55 points (27 on the power play), 189 shots on net, 205 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 77 appearances. Cozens has offered quality offense and ample physicality in a second-line role throughout the campaign.

Wright (upper body) is not expected to play Monday versus the Jets, per NHL.com.

This will be his fourth straight game on the shelf. Wright is currently stuck in a 16-game goal drought during which he has generated four assists, 15 blocked shots and 12 shots on net while averaging 13:29 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, the center should slot back into a bottom-six role, which will limit his opportunities to get back on the scoresheet. Considering the Kraken are heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Wright will be cleared in time to face Minnesota on Tuesday.

Pinto scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Pinto has three points over three outings in April, a solid start to the month to bounce back from ending March on a four-game skid. The 25-year-old center has matched his career high in goals with 21, and his 42 points are also a personal best. He's added 148 shots on net, 87 hits, 48 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 67 appearances this season.

Kastelic's point drought reached 14 games in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Kastelic last got on the scoresheet March 10 versus the Kings, when he had an assist. The 27-year-old has maintained a steady bottom-six role, and he brings some physicality in that spot, but the lack of offense hurts his fantasy standing. He's still had a career year with nine goals, 18 points, 92 shots on net, 207 hits, 138 PIM and 62 blocked shots through 78 appearances.

Eyssimont was scratched for the ninth time in 10 games in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Eyssimont played Saturday against his former team, the Lightning, but he has mostly been a depth option lately. He has 18 points, 103 shots on net, 52 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 53 appearances, making this his second-highest scoring campaign and his best on a per-game basis. However, it doesn't look like he'll be a regular in the lineup to close out 2025-26.

Soderblom scored a goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Soderblom earned three points over two games versus the Panthers over the weekend. The 24-year-old has fit right in on the Penguins' fourth line lately, earning six points over his last six outings. He's up to six goals, 11 points, 66 shots on net, 92 hits and a minus-1 rating over 55 appearances between the Penguins and the Red Wings this season.

Niederreiter (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Niederreiter has been sidelined since late February, but he's been cleared to return to game action for the first time since the Olympic break. Across 55 appearances this year, he's recorded eight goals, 11 assists, 66 hits, 20 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 13:54 of ice time.

Gauthier was reassigned to ECHL Wheeling on Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Gauthier was able to serve as the backup against the Panthers on Sunday, but he won't be making his NHL debut any time soon. If Stuart Skinner (upper body) isn't ready to face the Devils on Thursday, fantasy managers can likely expect Sergei Murashov to be elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton -- which means the 25-year-old Gauthier figures to spend the rest of the year in the minors.
