Cole Hutson Delivers Two Assists Saturday

Washington Capitals defenseman Cole Hutson had two assists as the team beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 in a shootout on Saturday. This was Hutson's first career multi-point game. Overall, Hutson has amassed five points (one goal, four assists) through his first six games in the NHL. The 19-year-old has shown a lot of promise, though all his points have come on the power play. Hutson has also logged eight SOG and eight hits. Next, he will look to make an impact against the Philadelphia Flyers, who have a 78.6 percent penalty kill.

Mikhail Sergachev Ties Mammoth Record With Four Assists

Utah Mammoth defenseman Mikhail Sergachev made a major impact offensively on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, finishing with a team record-matching four assists. Two of his helpers came with the man advantage. Earlier this week, Sergachev erupted for three first-period assists against Washington, so he has now set up seven goals over the last two games. He's the first Utah player with as many as three assists in back-to-back games. Sergachev's world-class playmaking has helped him to his second consecutive 50-point season. He has totaled 10 goals and 43 assists over 70 games. Additionally, he has registered 118 blocks, making Sergachev one of the top defensemen in fantasy hockey.

Connor McDavid Reclaims Scoring Lead With Three-Point Effort

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid had three points in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, moving ahead of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov to take sole possession of the top spot on the NHL scoring charts. McDavid opened the scoring against Anaheim and delivered two assists. The Oilers captain now has three goal streaks of at least four games this season. If he can stay hot in front of the net, McDavid could claim both the Art Ross and Rocket Richard Trophies this season. In 74 outings, McDavid has recorded 42 goals and 82 assists. He has produced back-to-back three-point performances and has finished scoreless just twice since the Olympic break.

Dmitri Voronkov • LW • Blue Jackets

Dmitri Voronkov Unavailable Sunday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Dmitri Voronkov (upper body) won't be in contention to play on Sunday against the Boston Bruins, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. After a lengthy period as a healthy scratch, Voronkov was back in the lineup on Saturday against San Jose, but he sustained an upper-body injury. Voronkov lost his spot in the lineup after the Olympic break. He has 32 points (17 goals, 15 assists) in 62 appearances, but 10 of his points came in October. Danton Heinen is likely to rejoin the action on Sunday after being scratched in favor of Voronkov for Saturday's game. Miles Wood is another option.

Aliaksei Protas Suffers Upper-Body Injury Saturday Night

Washington Capitals winger Aliaksei Protas (upper body) made an early exit against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. He suffered an upper-body injury in a collision with Golden Knights forward Nic Dowd, his former teammate in Washington. The Capitals completed a three-game road trip on Saturday and will be back home on Tuesday night against Philadelphia. While Protas will have a few days to recover, it's uncertain whether it will be enough for him to be available on Tuesday. Protas is close to posting his second consecutive 50-point campaign, having amassed 23 goals and 24 assists in 70 contests. In his absence, Anthony Beauvillier, who scored Washington's third goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win, could return to the top six next week.

Josh Anderson Limited Due to Illness Saturday

Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson (illness) exited Saturday's 4-1 road win over the Nashville Predators in the second period. He was battling an illness and logged just 4:53 of ice time. It's unclear whether Anderson will feel well enough to play in Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes. The veteran forward has produced 13 goals and nine assists in 64 outings this season. With Alexandre Texier (lower body) also ailing, Montreal might have to use seven defensemen in Sunday's game.

He got the scoring started just 3:51 into the first period, and then assisted on Cole Perfetti's goal later in the third period. The Canadian forward is currently riding a four-game point streak and has 28 goals and 62 points this year.

Demidov is having a great year and is battling for the Calder trophy with Matthew Schaefer and Beckett Sennecke.

Shane Wright Exits Early Saturday

Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright (undisclosed) won't finish Saturday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. The team ruled him out for the rest of the game midway through the second period. Wright was also hurt in Thursday's win over Tampa Bay and may have already been in some discomfort before the puck dropped on Saturday. The 22-year-old had an assist on Thursday, bringing his total to 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 71 games. He hasn't missed any games this season, but Wright may now need to take some time off to heal after being limited in back-to-back games.

Connor Zary Remains Out Saturday Night

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary (upper body) won't be part of the lineup on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 24-year-old returned to practice on Friday but will miss a fourth consecutive game. Zary's exit from the lineup allowed Tyson Gross to make his NHL debut last weekend. In Saturday's matchup, we will see another new face among the forward group, with Brennan Othmann ready to make his team debut. The Flames acquired Othmann from the New York Rangers on March 6. Although the 23-year-old has found some offensive success in the AHL, Othmann hasn't been productive in the big league, recording one goal and zero assists in 17 outings this season.

Noah Laba a Game-Time Call Sunday

New York Rangers center Noah Laba (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Florida Panthers. He has been out for five games due to a lower-body injury but could return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Laba has had a fine rookie campaign, with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 65 games. Jonny Brodzinski has played regularly during Laba's absence and seems to have secured his place in the lineup for Sunday after scoring two goals in Friday's 6-1 victory over Chicago. Taylor Raddysh is projected to be a healthy scratch against Florida if Laba returns.

Jonathan Quick to Remain Unavailable Sunday

New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick (upper body) will remain sidelined on Sunday against the Florida Panthers. The veteran netminder was injured at practice a week ago, and it's unclear when the Rangers can count on Quick again. As a backup goalie, Quick has been quite busy in 2025-26, making 22 starts. He has posted a 5-16-2 record, a 3.19 goals-against average, a .889 save percentage, and two shutouts. Dylan Garand has replaced Quick on the roster, going 1-0-1 over his first two career appearances. The 23-year-old will be Igor Shesterkin's backup on Sunday.

Joel Hanley to Miss Rest of Season

Calgary Flames defenseman Joel Hanley (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. He suffered an upper-body injury on Thursday against Anaheim and will finish the campaign with seven assists, 90 blocks, 42 hits, and a minus-five rating in 68 outings. Hanley didn't score a single goal this season despite generating 43 SOG. Brayden Pachal will take Hanley's place in the lineup on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old will be limited to a third-pairing role on defense and doesn't have any fantasy value.

Ethen Frank Remains Out Saturday

Washington Capitals center Ethen Frank (lower body) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Capitals lost him to a lower-body injury last weekend. Frank has been productive for the team in the bottom six, recording 12 goals and 24 points in 60 appearances. With Frank out, Ivan Miroshnichenko has come into the lineup. He scored his first two goals of the season in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Utah Mammoth. Saturday's game gives Miroshnichenko a chance to score in consecutive games for the first time in his NHL career.

Robert Thomas Available Saturday

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas (upper body) will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He suffered an upper-body injury earlier this week, but luckily for the Blues, Thomas was out for only one game. The 2024 All-Star will reclaim his spot on the first line, forcing Dalibor Dvorsky to move down to the third. Thomas has been very impressive in March, recording five goals and eight assists in 11 games. If he can maintain his improved scoring rate, Thomas might still average a point per game for a third consecutive season. He currently sits on 46 points (16 goals, 30 assists) in 53 outings.

David Pastrnak Riding 11-Game Point Streak

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak will enter this weekend holding the NHL's longest active point streak. He has found his way on the score sheet in 11 consecutive appearances, amassing seven goals and 11 assists. Pastrnak has lit the lamp in three of the last four games, and his streak includes six multi-point efforts. The Bruins superstar has jumped to sixth on the league's scoring charts, sitting on 90 points (29 goals, 61 assists) in 67 games. Over the weekend, Pastrnak's form faces a stern test. Boston will meet Minnesota and Columbus, two teams with top-10 defensive records since the Olympic break.

John Gibson Gets Back on Track Friday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson had 28 saves in Friday's impressive 5-2 road win over the Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings' offense exploded for three first-period goals, and Gibson did an impressive job protecting the lead, improving to 27-17-3. Gibson now boasts the third-most wins by a Red Wings goalie in their first season with the franchise. He has registered a 2.54 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage with four shutouts. Following a three-game losing streak, Gibson has won three of his last four starts. He could be thrown into action again on Saturday night against Philadelphia, as Cam Talbot (undisclosed) is banged up. Michal Postava served as Gibson's backup on Friday.

J.T. Miller Bags Three Points Against Blackhawks

New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller delivered one of his best performances of the season on Friday, leading his squad to a 6-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks with one goal and two assists. Miller recorded more than two points for only the second time in 2025-26, netting the game-tying goal late in the first period and helping Matthew Robertson and Alexis Lafreniere score. Miller's second assist came on the power play. While the Rangers captain produced a standout performance on Friday night, his return to Broadway has been disappointing overall. Miller has been limited to 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) in 59 games and holds a team-worst minus-27 rating.

Tage Thompson Picks Up 400th Career Point

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson registered his 400th career point in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He scored Buffalo's first goal early in the second period. Thompson now boasts 213 goals and 187 assists through 521 career games. He is closing in on his third 40-goal campaign, having lit the lamp 37 times. In 73 outings this season, Thompson has also recorded 38 assists. Only three players have managed at least 40 goals and 40 assists, highlighting how special Thompson's campaign has been. Next, he will be let loose against a Seattle Kraken defense that has allowed 4.2 goals per game over the last five contests.

Patrick Kane Collects Two Points in Friday's Win

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane had two points against his hometown Buffalo Sabres in Friday's 5-2 road win. The veteran forward assisted Jacob Bernard-Docker on Detroit's fourth goal and iced the game with an empty-netter. Kane has been playing great recently, bagging four goals and seven assists across his last 10 outings. Detroit has struggled to generate offense for much of the campaign, so keeping Kane hot will be crucial for the team's playoff hopes. Kane is fourth among the Red Wings' forwards with 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists) in 57 games.
