Zibanejad logged three assists, including two on the power play, and added two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Zibanejad has a goal and five helpers during a four-game point streak. He's been locked in since the start of March, earning 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) over his last 19 contests. Zibanejad always brings his best against the Capitals, earning 19 goals and 42 points over 51 career matchups against them, his third-best total against any team. For the season, the 32-year-old center has 33 tallies, 42 assists, 33 power-play points, 207 shots on net, 100 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 77 outings.

Sheary scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Sheary made a near-instant impact, scoring just 23 seconds into the game. The 33-year-old winger had gone two games without a point prior to Sunday, but he's earned four goals and a helper over his last eight outings. For the season, he's at seven goals, 17 points, 77 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 58 appearances, but he's clearly picked up the pace late in the year.

Sykora scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Sykora and the Rangers' fourth line got in on the fun in the second period. The 21-year-old scored at 13:22 of the frame to put the Rangers up 5-1. The winger is now at three goals, one assist, nine shots on net, 15 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across his first seven NHL outings. His solid play so far could go a long way to earning him an NHL job out of the gate in 2026-27.

Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added three hits in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Trocheck had been limited to two assists over his previous eight games. The 32-year-old center is up to 16 goals, 52 points, 108 shots on net, 184 hits, 56 PIM, 45 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 63 appearances this season. Trocheck has been playing on the third line recently, but his power-play time keeps him in a good position to generate offense.

Miller scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Miller redirected a pass in tight from Mika Zibanejad for the go-ahead goal 3:07 into the second period. Later in the frame, Miller helped out on an Adam Fox tally. With three goals and six assists over his last seven outings, Miller is rolling on offense, and five of his points in that span have come with a man advantage. He's at 17 goals, 33 helpers, 17 power-play points, 136 shots on net, 119 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-27 rating through 64 contests on the year.

Fox scored a power-play goal and added two assists in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

One of his helpers also came on the power play. Fox extended his point streak to seven games with one of his best efforts of the season. During the streak, he's earned three goals and 10 helpers, including seven power-play points. Fox is up to eight goals, 50 points, 83 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 51 appearances. His counting stats are at the usual levels due to his lengthy injury absences this season, but he's been in peak form on a per-game basis.

Cuylle scored three goals on six shots, added nine PIM and doled out four hits in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Cuylle had two of the Rangers' five goals in the second period and scored one more in the final minute of the game to earn his first hat trick. With this productive effort, he also secured his second straight 20-goal campaign. Cuylle has scored four times over his last three contests, offering quality offense from a middle-six role while also being an elite source of toughness. He's at 37 points, 153 shots on net, 278 hits, 59 PIM, 64 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 78 appearances this season.

Shesterkin stopped 20 of 21 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Capitals.

Shesterkin picked up his third win in four outings, and he didn't have to do a lot for this one. The Rangers' five-goal second period was the difference, allowing Shesterkin to cruise to the victory. He's up to 25-17-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 49 starts this season. While the Rangers are not in the playoff picture, Shesterkin seems likely to get a decent share of the starts to close out the season, as the team doesn't have a back-to-back left on the schedule.

Kaprizov tallied three goals, including the game-winning goal, and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Kaprizov played the hero in Sunday's contest with a pair of goals in the second period before tallying the game-winner with less than two minutes remaining in the third. With his first hat trick of the season, the 28-year-old winger is up to 43 goals, 87 points, 260 shots on net, 49 hits and 27 blocked shots across 75 games. His big night has him in a tie for third place with Edmonton's Connor McDavid on the NHL's goal leaderboard. While Kaprizov is unlikely to catch Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon or Montreal's Cole Caufield in pursuit of the Rocket Richard Trophy, Kaprizov has a chance to tie or surpass his current career high of 47 goals, which he totaled across 81 regular-season games during the 2021-22 season.

Hughes notched two assists, six shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens.

Hughes has racked up three goals and six assists over the first three games of April. The 24-year-old has been excellent since the Olympics, earning 36 points over his last 20 outings, of which 11 have been multi-point performances. He's up to 72 points (25 tallies, 47 helpers), 210 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 56 appearances this season.
