Zibanejad scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Islanders.

Fantasy managers who have stuck with Zibanejad this long have gotten a reward in the form of seven points over his last three games. The 31-year-old was involved in the Rangers' first two goals Thursday. He's now at 18 tallies, 40 assists, 179 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-21 rating over 79 appearances. There are three games left on the Rangers' schedule for Zibanejad to make an attempt to reach the 20-goal and 60-point marks, but it'll still be his worst full-length season since 2017-18.

Beecher was held off the scoresheet for the 13th straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Beecher has added nine shots on net, 14 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating during his point drought. The Bruins play just twice more in 2024-25, and while Beecher should be able to stay in the lineup, he's failed to put together a positive finish to the year. He's at 11 points, 44 shots on net, 85 hits, 71 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 78 appearances in a bottom-six role, so he still has some on-ice appeal to the Bruins as a defensive forward.

Draisaitl (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus San Jose on Friday, according to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.

Draisaitl will miss his fourth straight game and eighth contest in Edmonton's last 11 outings. He struck for three goals and two assists in three games between injuries, giving him 52 goals and 54 assists over 71 games. He surpassed the 100-point mark in six of his last seven seasons, with 84 points coming in 56 appearances during the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign.

Frederic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sharks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old will be unavailable for a third consecutive game, and head coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday that Frederic might not be available for the start of the playoffs, suggesting that he could be forced to miss more time to close out the regular season. Over 58 appearances between Boston and Edmonton this year, Frederic has logged eight goals, seven assists, 157 hits and 44 PIM while averaging 13:43 of ice time.

Kulich notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kulich has two helpers over his last three games but no goals over his last seven outings despite taking 13 shots on net in that span. The 20-year-old has remained in a top-six role amid his scoring struggles. For the season, he's at 23 points, 124 shots on net, 38 hits and 34 blocked shots across 58 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Aston-Reese scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

After going 57 games without a goal earlier in the season, the 30-year-old has two tallies across his last four contests. Aston-Reese is holding onto a fourth-line spot to close out 2024-25, so don't expect much offense out of him. He's matched his career high of 17 points from 2018-19 while adding 100 shots on net, 174 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 76 appearances in 2024-25.

Landeskog (knee) will suit up for AHL Colorado against Henderson on Friday.

Landeskog will be playing in a professional hockey game for the first time since June of 2022 after missing the entirety of the last two seasons and most of 2024-25. The Eagles are facing the Silver Knights in a back-to-back, so it's possible the veteran winger gets another game in the minors Saturday before returning to the Avalanche. Barring any setbacks, Landeskog seems to be trending toward a return for Colorado in the postseason and would likely jump into both a top-six role and the No.1 power-play unit.

Bertuzzi scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

Bertuzzi has five goals and four assists over his last 12 outings. He was able to get on the scoresheet against one of his former teams Thursday, and his third-period goal stood as the game-winner. The winger is at 22 goals, 21 assists, 128 shots on net, 58 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-39 rating over 79 outings. It's nearly identical production to what he did last year in Toronto, though he's taken a massive drop in plus-minus rating by playing on one of the league's worst teams in 2024-25.

Boqvist has just one assist over his last 18 games after being held off the scoresheet Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Boqvist's play early in the season earned him a two-year contract extension March 4, but he has little to show for since putting pen to paper. Overall, he's matched his career high of 23 points this season (12 goals, 11 assists), while adding 81 shots on net, 174 hits and a plus-1 rating over 75 appearances. He's not at risk of losing his spot in the lineup yet, as he plays a valuable defensive role in the bottom six.

Nosek's point drought is up to 20 games after he was held scoreless in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Spring hasn't brought any heat to Nosek's scoring. During the drought, he has just 16 shots on net and a minus-2 rating, though he has doled out 40 hits. The 32-year-old is in a bottom-six role when he plays, and he was scratched nine straight times between March 13 and April 1. Sam Bennett's (upper body) absence will likely keep Nosek in the lineup for the rest of the regular season, but he could get pinched out in the postseason. He has managed a mere nine points with 45 shots on net and 81 hits over 58 appearances.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Peterka has scored in back-to-back games and has three goals and five assists over his last seven outings. The winger's tally opened the scoring at 11:54 of the first period Thursday. Peterka is up to 25 goals, 63 points, 166 shots on net, 29 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating across 73 contests in 2024-25. He continues to have ample scoring upside, and there are four games left on the Sabres' schedule for him to add to his totals.

Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Van Riemsdyk was scratch for four games between late March and early April. He's since been in the lineup for four straight contests, regaining a spot in the middle six, albeit without power-play time. The winger is up to 15 goals, 31 points, 76 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-9 rating over 67 appearances this season. He's among six unrestricted free agent forwards on the roster heading into the summer, and it's unclear if the 35-year-old is in contention to be re-signed.

Mitchell was scratched for the third straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Mitchell is a pending restricted free agent this offseason, but he hasn't done much lately to make a lasting impression on the Bruins. He's on a 10-game point drought and has just one point, an assist, over 14 outings at the NHL level this season. He's added 21 blocked shots, 10 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating. The Bruins have some holes to fill on the blue line for 2025-26, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be part of that.

Rutta (lower body) will return to the lineup versus Edmonton on Friday, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Rutta missed the last 27 games after he was injured Jan. 23 versus Nashville. Rutta has two goals, six assists and 76 blocked shots across 51 games this season. Rutta will replace Mario Ferraro in the lineup as Ferraro is done for the season with a lower-body injury.

Crevier has played in just eight of 19 games since the start of March after suiting up in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

Crevier was not papered down to the AHL at the trade deadline, so he is ineligible for Rockford's playoff roster. The 23-year-old also isn't carving out much ice time in the NHL -- his appearance Thursday ended a run of six games as a healthy scratch, but it only happened because Connor Murphy (illness) and Wyatt Kaiser (illness) were out. Crevier has had some positive moments in 2024-25, but he has just four points, 28 shots on net, 68 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 31 appearances. The Blackhawks have a good crop of young defenseman, and it's unclear where Crevier might fit in for 2025-26.

Middleton (upper body) may return to the lineup versus Calgary on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Middleton will be a game-time decision as coach John Hynes stated that he will talk to him after warmups to see if Middleton is healthy enough to play. Middleton has eight goals, 12 assists, 155 blocked shots and 98 hits over 66 outings this season.

Vlasic logged a shorthanded assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

Vlasic ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old defenseman has given way to other prospects like Sam Rinzel, Artyom Levshunov and Kevin Korchinski for power-play time lately, which largely explains Vlasic's reduced output on offense despite his top-four role. He's at 29 points (12 on the power play, one shorthanded), 100 shots on net, 146 blocked shots, 58 hits and a minus-20 rating over 79 appearances. If Vlasic is not part of the Blackhawks' long-term plans on the power play, his fantasy outlook is that of a top-four blueliner who can chip in with blocks and depth scoring, which doesn't bring universal appeal.

Korchinski scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.

This was Korchinski's first point in 15 NHL outings this season. The 20-year-old has needed some extra development time at AHL Rockford after posting 15 points and a minus-39 rating over 76 contests as a 19-year-old rookie last year. Korchinski has picked up 14 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating in 2024-25. He'll likely join AHL Rockford's playoff run at some point, but the Blackhawks clearly want to give him an extended look to evaluate his progress late in this campaign.

Gustavsson will get the start on the road at the Flames on Friday Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

After getting Wednesday's game against the Sharks off, it will be Gustavsson in net for the Wild with a chance to clinch the team a playoff spot. The 26-year-old, who has played in all but three of Minnesota's 19 games since the beginning of March, will look to extend upon a career-high 30 wins. Gustavsson faced the Flames once earlier this season, stopping 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 loss on November 23.

Pickard will guard the home cage versus San Jose on Friday, per Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

Pickard is 4-1-0 in his last five starts, allowing only 11 goals on 133 shots (.917 save percentage). Overall, the 32-year-old is 21-9-1 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. The Sharks are 30th in NHL scoring, generating 2.60 goals per game, but they did strike for seven goals Wednesday in an 8-7 overtime loss against the Wild.

Lindgren saved 30 of 34 shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Despite allowing the first and last two goals in regulation, Lindgren was able to hang on in the extra period and shootout for the win. With Thursday's victory, the 31-year-old netminder is up to a 19-13-3 record with a 2.74 GAA and an .893 save percentage. While his overall performance has been a step down from a season ago, Lindgren is getting hot at the right time for the Capitals by winning three of his last four starts. With Logan Thompson temporarily sidelined with an upper-body injury, Lindgren may pick up a few more starts before the end of the regular season, boosting his value in fantasy leagues. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Saturday at Columbus.

Andersen made 24 of 28 saves in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Andersen had a strong first and third period Thursday night but allowed four consecutive goals from late in the first to the end of the second period. He then tended a clean overtime before he surrendered the lone goal of the shootout to Washington's Pierre-Luc Dubois. Thursday's loss was Andersen's first OTL of the season, which brings his overall record to 13-6-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 20 games this season. After putting together a seven-game winning streak throughout March and into April where he allowed just 10 goals, the 35-year-old netminder has lost back-to-back appearances and he has conceded nine goals in this span. Given his track record this season, Andersen should bounce back and stay a top option in the crease for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Wolf will start Friday's home game against the Wild, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Wolf has been inconsistent this month, going 2-1-2 with a 2.36 GAA and .915 save percentage over five appearances. However, he'll draw a sixth consecutive start and should have a favorable matchup Friday, as the Wild are averaging just 2.75 goals per game this season, which is the seventh-worst mark in the NHL.

Oettinger stopped 31 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Jets.

Oettinger didn't have his best performance Thursday, though to be fair, the entire Stars team looked overmatched in this 4-0 defeat. Oettinger has dropped his last two starts, but fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned by his performances. This was the first time Oettinger posted a save percentage below the .910 mark since March 18.
