Jack Hughes Amasses Four Points Against Blackhawks

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes had a standout performance with four points in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He finished the contest with two goals and two assists, recording his fifth career four-point game. It was Hughes' second four-point game of the month, as the American star has hit another gear since winning Olympic gold with Team USA. Hughes has notched 27 points (10 goals, 17 assists) in 16 games after the Olympics, tying him for the third-most in the league. With Hughes in top form, his linemates also benefit. Jesper Bratt has tallied 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in 13 March outings, and Connor Brown has 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 13 games this month.

Viktor Arvidsson Plays Key Role in Comeback Victory

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson produced three assists as the team turned a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 shootout win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. Offensively, Boston couldn't get anything going until the third period. Then things suddenly clicked, as Charlie McAvoy sparked the comeback 6:28 into the period, and Pavel Zacha scored two power-play goals. The Bruins had their first three-goal, third-period comeback victory in eight years. Arvidsson is close to his fourth 50-point season, picking up 21 goals and 26 assists in 62 games. He has been like a different player since the Olympic break, recording 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 17 outings.

Lane Hutson Celebrates New Assists Record Sunday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson registered two helpers in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, establishing a new career high for most assists in a single season. He now boasts 62 assists through 73 games. Only Larry Robinson has managed more among Montreal's defensemen, with his franchise record standing at 66 assists. Hutson will have every chance to break it this season, as there are nine games remaining for the Canadiens. The 22-year-old is also battling for a top-three finish in defensemen scoring, having accumulated 73 points the season.

Adam Fox Collects Two Points in Sunday's Win

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox finished Sunday's 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers with one goal and two assists. The 2021 Norris Trophy winner recorded his 13th career multi-point third period. He helped Adam Sykora to start the scoring and picked up an empty-net goal. Fox has been stuck on a bad team this season, but he's still made a positive impact. In 47 outings, Fox has registered 42 points (6 goals, 36 assists), 78 SOG, 68 blocks, and a plus-four rating. He's had the third-best scoring rate of his career, with 0.89 points per game. The Rangers are no longer in playoff contention and are playing without pressure, which could help Fox have a strong finish to the year.

Jake Guentzel Leads Lightning Offense Sunday

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Jake Guentzel contributed to every goal for the team in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. With Nikita Kucherov (illness) sidelined for a second consecutive game, the Lightning needed somebody to step up. Guentzel answered the call with one goal and two assists. On Sunday, Guentzel secured his third 80-point campaign. The 31-year-old has posted 35 goals and 45 assists in 73 outings. Guentzel's goal-scoring form has been particularly impressive lately, as he's found the back of the net in four straight games and in six of the last seven.

Mathieu Olivier Exits Early With Upper-Body Injury

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Mathieu Olivier (upper body) didn't finish Sunday's loss to the Boston Bruins, Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch reports. Olivier had only one shift in the second period and finished with 3:06 of ice time. While Olivier averages barely 14 minutes of ice time, losing him would still be a bad blow for Columbus. The 29-year-old ranks 14th in the league with 209 hits and has chipped in with 15 goals and 11 assists in 61 games. Kent Johnson has recently struggled to stay in the lineup, but he might play regularly going forward if Olivier is dealing with a significant injury.

Michael Bunting Suffers Lower-Body Injury Sunday

Dallas Stars left wing Michael Bunting sustained a lower-body injury in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. He was hurt during the first period. Initially, the team announced Bunting was questionable to return. In the end, Bunting didn't add to his 3:46 of ice time. Injuries have ravaged the Stars' front line all season, and Bunting now might have to sit out some action. His career has yet to take off in Texas, as Bunting has totaled only one goal and one assist in 11 appearances with the Stars. The veteran was even a healthy scratch for one game last week.

The captain of the Canadiens led the way on the offensive end with the three-point performance, with both of his goals coming in the second period, while teammates Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson both had two-point efforts in the contest. Suzuki is enjoying a career-best season with a total of 91 points through 73 games (26 goals, 65 assists) to lead the Canadiens in that department, and he is on pace to reach the 100-point mark for the first time in his career as one of the top skaters across all fantasy formats.

Frank Nazar Scores Twice on Sunday

Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar scored two goals on Sunday, but it was not enough to defeat the New Jersey Devils as his club lost 5-3. The young American was in a little bit of a slump with just two points in his last six games, but he broke out of it in a big way on Sunday. Nazar is having a solid sophomore season with 14 goals and 38 points in 58 games played this year.

Jeremy Swayman Remains in Bruins Crease Sunday

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will start against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. The team has decided to go with Swayman for a second consecutive day. He had 31 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Minnesota Wild, taking his record to 29-15-4. Across 48 starts, Swayman has registered one shutout with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage. The Olympic champion has a tough matchup on Sunday against a team that has posted the NHL's second-best record at 19-5-4 since making a coaching change in January.

Nikita Kucherov Remains Out Sunday

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (illness) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Nashville Predators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. The Art Ross Trophy contender is battling an illness and was a late scratch on Saturday against Ottawa. Nicholas Paul (illness) also didn't play against the Senators, forcing Tampa Bay into a major reshuffle up front. Gage Goncalves filled in for Kucherov on the first line, recording one assist. He will have an expanded role again on Sunday and looks like a good fantasy option, having averaged nearly a point per game this month.

Mason Lohrei Unavailable Sunday

Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei (upper body) won't play on Sunday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. According to Bruins head coach Marco Strum, Lohrei has been dealing with an upper-body injury "for a while." He logged just 11:47 of action in Saturday's win over Minnesota. The 25-year-old has been having trouble offensively lately, but his total of 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists) in 68 games this season is respectable. After being an ugly minus-43 a year ago, Lohrei has a plus-12 rating and has recorded 68 SOG and 85 blocks. Henri Jokiharju will replace Lohrei in the lineup against Columbus. These days, Hokiharju sees very little action, but he has posted assists in both of his last two appearances.

Dmitri Voronkov Considered Week-to-Week

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Dmitri Voronkov (hand) will be out week-to-week, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports. The Russian forward was injured in Saturday's loss to the San Jose Sharks. With little left in the regular season, this could be Voronkov's final game of 2025-26. He has been out of favor anyway, sitting out nine of 10 games as a healthy scratch before re-entering the lineup on Saturday. Danton Heinen will replace Voronkov on the second line in Sunday's matchup with the Boston Bruins. Miles Wood is also going to rejoin the lineup, bumping Kent Johnson to the press box.

Artyom Levshunov Out With Fractured Hand

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Artyom Levshunov (hand) won't play on Sunday against the New Jersey Devils. The 20-year-old will depart the lineup due to a small fracture in his left hand. According to Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill, Levshunov hurt his hand in Tuesday's win over the New York Islanders. He played in two more games this week with the injury. Levshunov has recorded 24 points (two goals, 22 assists) in 68 games during his rookie season. However, he also has a league-worst minus-41 rating, as Levshunov has struggled in even-strength situations. Kevin Korchinski is expected to enter the lineup on Sunday as Levshunov's replacement, making his fifth appearance of the season.

Sidney Crosby Practices Fully on Sunday

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby (lower body) was a full participant in Sunday's practice and will travel with the team for Monday's road game against the New York Islanders. The Penguins captain missed Saturday's loss to Dallas due to a lower-body injury. However, it seems his absence might be limited to one game. Evgeni Malkin (upper body), who has missed three games, also practiced on Saturday. It has not been decided yet whether he will travel to Long Island. Having both Crosby and Malkin back would be huge for the Penguins, who are in the middle of a fierce playoff race in the Eastern Conference.

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.

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.
