Clayton Keller Collects Four Points Against Canucks

Utah Mammoth winger Clayton Keller played the leading role in Saturday's 7-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, scoring a hat trick and adding an assist. Keller helped Lawson Crouse score early in the third period and recorded Utah's sixth hat trick this season with an empty-netter late in the game. The Olympic champion has been on a heater in recent games, amassing three goals and seven assists over his last four outings. It should only be a matter of time before Keller can celebrate his third 80-point campaign. He has notched 25 goals and 53 assists across 76 games in 2025-26.

Jack Eichel Records Three Assists in Saturday's Win

Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel had three assists in Saturday's 5-1 road win over the Edmonton Oilers. He set up Brett Howden and Jeremy Lauzon in the second period and Mark Stone in the third. This big performance secured Eichel his second consecutive 80-point season. He has tallied 25 goals and 57 assists in 69 games. After a dire six-game point drought last month, the four-time All-Star has recorded one goal and seven assists over a five-game stretch. With Vegas still chasing a playoff berth, Eichel has every reason to keep his foot on the gas, which is great news for fantasy managers.

Gabe Perreault Nets First Career Hat Trick

New York Rangers right wing Gabe Perreault scored his first career hat trick in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. He scored three straight goals after Jaroslav Chmelar had put the Rangers 1-0 up. Perreault became only the fourth Rangers rookie in the past 30 years to record a hat trick. The 20-year-old has significantly improved his output since the Olympic break, producing five multi-point performances in his last 18 outings. Thanks to the scoring surge, Perreault has boosted his total to 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 44 games. As a member of the Rangers' first line and second power-play unit, Perreault is a name fantasy managers should have on their radar.

Nicolas Hague Exits Early Against Sharks

Nashville Predators defenseman Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) made an early exit against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Hague had logged only 2:34 of ice time when the team ruled him out for the rest of the game due to an undisclosed injury. During his first year in Nashville, Hague has seen his playing time increase to a career-high 19:38 per game. He has recorded 15 points (three goals, 12 assists), 56 SOG, 54 blocks, and 76 hits. Nashville will kick off the new week on Monday night in L.A., and Ryan Ufko could get a chance to play after being a healthy scratch for three games.

MacKenzie Weegar Listed as Day-to-Day

Utah Mammoth defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (upper body) is day-to-day, the team announced before Saturday's win over Vancouver. Weegar has made 13 appearances since joining the Mammoth from Calgary a month ago, logging four points (one goal, three assists), 21 SOG, 21 blocks, and 26 hits. Three of his points have come in his last four appearances, which could be a sign that Weegar is starting to feel more comfortable with his new team. His first chance to return to the lineup will be on Tuesday night against Edmonton. Nick DeSimone filled Weegar's spot on defense against Vancouver and finished a high-scoring 7-4 win with one assist.

Jack McBain • C • Mammoth

Jack McBain Considered Week-to-Week

Utah Mammoth forward Jack McBain (lower body) is week-to-week. He suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's win over Seattle and could be out for the remainder of the regular season. McBain missed his first game of the season when Utah beat Vancouver 7-4 on Saturday night. In 75 appearances, he has registered 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists), 106 SOG, and a team-high 271 hits. The Mammoth replaced McBain with Liam O'Brien on Saturday, and he rewarded the trust by scoring the team's sixth goal. However, O'Brien has picked up only a handful of points all season, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to improve his production during the final few games.

Justin Faulk • D • Red Wings

Justin Faulk Questionable Sunday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Justin Faulk (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Wild. The veteran blue-liner missed Saturday's loss to the New York Rangers due to a lower-body injury. He has a chance to return against Minnesota after Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan labeled him and forward Mason Appleton (upper body) as questionable for Sunday. Faulk has had a solid season with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists), although his production has declined since moving to Detroit. With the Red Wings, he has managed three points (one goal, two assists), 15 SOG, 23 blocks, and 17 hits in 12 games. Axel Sandin-Pellikka will remain in the lineup on Sunday if Faulk can't play.

Nick Lardis Available Against Kraken

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Nick Lardis (hand) is expected to play on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken. It was initially unclear whether he would be healthy enough for the contest after injuring his left hand late in Thursday's loss to Edmonton. Lardis skated on the first line Saturday morning and will be part of the second power-play unit. The 20-year-old has recently been hot in front of goal, scoring in four of his last seven outings. He boasts nine goals and 14 points in 35 games for the season.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson Won't Play Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is unavailable on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, David Alter of The Hockey News reports. The veteran rearguard suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's loss to San Jose. Toronto has bolstered its blue line by calling up William Villeneuve from the minors, but he will be in the press box on Saturday. Troy Stecher will replace Ekman-Larsson in the lineup. Having gone without a point in 22 of his last 25 appearances, Stecher holds virtually no fantasy value. He has collected 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 59 games across the season.

Tyler Kleven Out Week-to-Week

Ottawa Senators defenseman Tyler Kleven (upper body) is week-to-week. After sustaining an upper-body injury in Thursday's win over Buffalo, Kleven didn't play in Saturday's matchup with Minnesota. Since he is considered week-to-week, Kleven might not return for the rest of the regular season. Kleven has tallied 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) in 70 appearances, while having 95 blocks and 126 hits. Luckily for the Senators, they got Jake Sanderson back from an upper-body injury on Saturday. He will lead the blue line moving forward alongside Jordan Spence and Artem Zub.

Mason Marchment Expected to Return Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Mason Marchment (undisclosed) is on track to return to action on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets. He is dealing with an unspecified health issue and couldn't play in Thursday's game against Carolina. However, Marchment skated on the first line and worked with the first power-play unit during the morning skate, which strongly indicates that he is ready to return on Saturday. The 30-year-old has been a great addition to the Blue Jackets, registering 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) in 33 games. He has finished both of his last two appearances with multiple points.

Aliaksei Protas Returns on Saturday

Washington Capitals winger Aliaksei Protas (upper body) will rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. He has sat out a pair of games due to an upper-body injury. Protas will be reunited with Dylan Strome and Alex Ovechkin on Washington's top line. The Belarusian forward has been a versatile contributor on offense, recording 23 goals and 24 assists in 70 games. That said, Protas' recent form hasn't been good, as he has finished four consecutive appearances without a point for only the third time this season. Washington's front line will also have Ethen Frank back on Saturday after he missed some time due to a lower-body injury.

Zach Hyman Could Miss Two Weeks

Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's matchup with the Vegas Golden Knights and is looking at a multi-game absence. According to Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch, Hyman could miss up to two weeks. However, Knoblauch added that if this were a playoff game, Hyman would be out there, which suggests he isn't dealing with a serious injury. The veteran forward is third on his team with 31 goals and has accumulated 51 points in 57 games. With Hyman out, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is set to join the first line on Saturday night, while Jason Dickinson will take over the second-line center duties.

Damon Severson Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Damon Severson (upper body) had surgery on Thursday and will miss the rest of the season. He suffered an upper-body injury on a hit from Montreal Canadiens forward Zachary Bolduc on March 26. This is an unfortunate blow for Severson and his team. He had a good campaign in 2025-26, finishing with 32 points (eight goals, 24 assists), 93 SOG, 86 blocks, and a plus-18 rating in 71 games. Denton Mateychuk has taken on a much larger role since Severon landed on the shelf, while Jake Christiansen has become a regular in the lineup.

Matvei Michkov Has Three-Point Game on Friday

Philadelphia Flyers right winger Matvei Michkov scored one goal and collected two assists as the Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 4-1 in a key divisional matchup on Friday. His goal came in the second period and gave Philadelphia a 3-0 lead, which they had no problem holding on to. The second-year winger has scored 20 fewer points this year than last year, but he still has decent numbers with 17 goals, 43 points, and 67 penalty minutes.

Patrick Kane Becomes NHL's Highest-Scoring American

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane once again rewrote the history books with a three-point effort in Thursday's 4-2 road win over the Philadelphia Flyers, becoming the NHL's all-time leading scorer among American players. The former MVP scored Detroit's game-winning goal and contributed two assists, including one on the power play. Earlier this season, Kane surpassed Mike Modano as the top-scoring U.S.-born player. Now, he's also ahead of Brett Hull on the all-time scoring list. Hull was born in Canada but represented the United States. Kane has scored 1,393 points (506 goals, 887 assists) in 1,362 career games. On Thursday night, he reached the 50-point mark for this season, boasting 14 goals and 36 assists through 60 outings. Kane has turned back the clock recently, tallying two goals and six assists during a four-game point streak.

Elias Salomonsson Lands in Concussion Protocol

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Elias Salomonsson is in concussion protocol, head coach Scott Arniel told reporters after Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Dallas Stars. Salomonsson was on the ice for two of the Stars' goals but left the action midway through the second period. The 21-year-old couldn't complete the game after a hit from Stars forward Jason Robertson. Winnipeg will likely be without Salomonsson for Saturday's trip to Columbus. Salomonsson, a second-round draft pick from 2022, has made his first 32 NHL appearances this season. He has registered five points (one goal, four assists), 37 SOG, 27 blocks, and 50 hits. Jacob Bryson and Ville Heinola are the options to replace him in the lineup.

Nick Lardis Injures Left Hand Thursday

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Nick Lardis injured his left hand late in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, Jack Bushman of Chicago Hockey Now reports. Teammate Teuvo Teravainen hit him on the hand with a shot. Lardis netted Chicago's lone goal of the game five minutes into the third frame. The 20-year-old rookie has totaled 14 points (nine goals, five assists) in 35 games this season. He has lit the lamp four times in his last seven appearances, but it's unclear whether he will get a chance to maintain his form on Saturday against Seattle. If he's healthy enough to play, Andrew Mangiapane (upper body) might be an option to fill in for Lardis. The veteran has been out for a couple of weeks but is traveling with the team.

Jack McBain Exits With Lower-Body Injury Thursday

Utah Mammoth forward Jack McBain (lower body) left Thursday's 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken in the second period, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports. His night at the office ended after he had logged exactly nine minutes of ice time. McBain has been Utah's ironman, not missing a single game this season, so he must be desperate to avoid his first absence on Saturday night against Vancouver. The 26-year-old is fourth in the NHL with 271 hits and has tallied 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 75 games. Utah carries Liam O'Brien as an extra forward, and he could suit up for the first time in two months on Saturday.

Tyler Kleven Exits Early Versus Sabres

Ottawa Senators defenseman Tyler Kleven (upper body) played only a couple of minutes in Thursday's win over the Buffalo Sabres. He took a puck to the head/neck area early in the first period. Kleven's role has recently increased at the back for Ottawa, as the blue line has been stretched incredibly thin. While Jake Sanderson (upper body) appears to be nearing his return, the Senators are still set to finish the campaign with a makeshift backline. Due to injuries, Jordan Spence's fantasy stock has received a major boost. On Thursday, he extended his point streak to four games with an assist while logging 30:48 of ice time.
