Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Saros was spotted a 3-0 lead after one period, but he couldn't make that one stick. The Sharks rallied to tie the game early in the third period, but Saros locked down the net as the Predators bounced right back with another three unanswered goals. This was his fifth win in his last six outings, a span in which he's given up 19 goals on 190 shots. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 28-20-7 with a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 56 starts. The ratios matter far less than the victories for Saros and the Predators at this stage of the season, and he'll get the bulk of the starts in net as the team makes a final push to get into the playoffs. Nashville's road trip continues Monday with another huge matchup against the Kings, whom Saros defeated in a shootout Thursday.

Bouchard scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Bouchard has two goals and eight assists over his last seven outings. He broke up Carter Hart's shutout bid late in the second period, but the Oilers didn't carry any momentum into the third period. Bouchard continues to dazzle on offense this season with 21 goals, 88 points, 215 shots on net and a plus-23 rating over 77 appearances. He doesn't have much else to prove in the regular season, though the spotlight is always on his defensive work during the postseason.

Ingram stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

This was a big matchup for the Pacific Division standings, and Ingram wasn't at his best. The Golden Knights' first goals came at even strength. This ended his three-game winning streak, and it dropped the Oilers into a three-team competition for the top spot in the division, with Edmonton, Vegas and Anaheim all within a point of each other. Ingram is down to 14-9-2 with a 2.78 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 28 appearances. The Oilers have a back-to-back up next, visiting the Mammoth on Tuesday and the Sharks on Wednesday, which will likely lead to Ingram and Tristan Jarry splitting those starts.

Barbashev produced two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Barbashev has surged lately, earning three goals and eight assists over his last eight contests. He's added 17 shots on net and 17 hits during that span. The power winger is up to 22 goals, 36 helpers, six power-play points, 132 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 77 appearances this season. He needs two more points to match his career high from the 2021-22 campaign with the Blues, which he earned in 81 games.

Eichel logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Eichel has a goal and seven assists over his last five outings. The 29-year-old had a hand in goals by Brett Howden, Jeremy Lauzon and Mark Stone in this contest. Eichel is up to 82 points (25 goals, 57 helpers), 242 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-15 rating over 69 appearances this season. He continues to play well in a top-line role and has now reached the 80-point mark for the second regular season in a row and the third time in his career.

Sissons scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Sissons ended a 10-game goal drought Saturday, and his tally stood as the game-winner. He had just one assist during that slump. The 32-year-old is filling a bottom-six role, so a lack of offense shouldn't come as much of a surprise. He's earned just six goals with five assists, 70 shots on net, 85 hits, 44 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 61 appearances in his first year with the Golden Knights.

Andersson scored a power-play goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Andersson is on a four-game point streak (three goals, two assists). The 29-year-old defenseman looks to be finding a groove after a mostly quiet first two months following his trade from the Flames. For the season, Andersson is up to 16 goals, 43 points, 164 shots on net, 140 blocked shots, 69 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 76 appearances. He should continue to see steady top-four minutes.

Stone scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Stone stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 4-1 early in the third period. He has three goals and two assists over his last five outings. The 33-year-old winger struggled initially after returning from an upper-body injury, but he looks to be back on track. He has 24 goals, 67 points, 117 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating over 55 appearances, matching his point total from 66 regular-season outings a year ago. Stone has reached the 70-point mark just once in his career, when he had 33 goals and 40 assists over 77 regular-season games between Ottawa and Vegas in 2018-19.

Lauzon scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

The second-period tally was Lauzon's first goal since Feb. 22, 2024, when he was with the Predators. He ultimately went 112 contests without scoring, though his offense has rebounded a bit this year with 13 points across 63 appearances, one off his career high. The hard-hitting defenseman has added 66 shots on net, 89 PIM, 94 blocked shots and 234 hits in a third-pairing role this season.

Howden scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Howden has three points over his last two games and looks to be fitting in just fine on a line with Jack Eichel. For the season, Howden is up to 11 goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net, 93 hits, 39 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 53 appearances. Still, the 28-year-old can provide a boost to fantasy managers who need physicality and a little depth scoring, as long as he stays in a top-six role.
