MacKinnon scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Monday's 9-2 romp over Calgary.

It was the fourth time in the last 13 games that MacKinnon has produced at least three points. The 30-year-old superstar remains in the thick of the race for the Art Ross Trophy, with his 120 points in 72 games putting him four points back of Connor McDavid and one back of Nikita Kucherov, and MacKinnon's 49 goals has him three clear of Cole Caufield in the battle for the Rocket Richard Trophy.

Kadri scored two power-play goals, one the game-winner, in Monday's 9-2 rout of the Flames.

The veteran center struck twice in just over a minute early in the first period to give the Avalanche a 3-0 lead over his former team. Kadri's return to Colorado has been a productive one, and through 12 games since Calgary shipped him out at the trade deadline, he's delivered four goals and nine points, with six of those points (three goals, three assists) coming on the power play.

Drury scored a goal and added two assists in Monday's 9-2 romp over Calgary.

It was the second multi-point performance in March for the fourth liner, but Drury managed just one goal and two points in the 12 games between those efforts. Despite his limited fantasy appeal, the 26-year-old is putting together a career season -- his 10 goals are already a personal best, and he's one point away from tying his high of 27, set with Carolina in the 2023-24 regular season.

Tavares scored two goals, including the game-winner, recorded an assist, fired four shots on net and dished out four hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Anaheim.

Tavares played the hero Monday when he knocked in the game-winning goal at the back post with just five seconds remaining in overtime. He also put the Maple Leafs on the board in the first period with a power-play goal. With his trio of points Monday, the 35-year-old center is up to 28 goals, 36 assists, 182 shots on net, 66 hits and 21 blocked shots across 75 games in 2025-26. While Tavares had a few slow stretches offensively this season, he has been steady as of late with six goals and 12 points over the last 10 games. He remains a strong option for production in standard fantasy leagues for the remainder of the regular season.

Ritchie notched two assists in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

The 21-year-old rookie had a hand in second-period tallies by Mathew Barzal and Brayden Schenn as the Isles briefly took a 3-1 lead before imploding. Ritchie has a tidy four-game point streak going, and over his last 12 contests, he's collected four goals and 10 points while skating in a top-six role.

Barzal produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Islanders.

After a scoreless first period, New York actually jumped out to a 3-1 lead thanks in large part to Barzal's efforts, but the wheels came off completely after that. The 28-year-old has been productive in March, delivering two goals and 13 points in 15 games, and Barzal needs one more goal to reach 20 on the season, and three more points to get to 70 for the third time in his career.

Rakell scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

The veteran center potted the Penguins' second and seventh goals of the night, with the latter chasing Ilya Sorokin from the game. Rakell has been outstanding in March, getting onto the scoresheet in 12 of the last 13 games while collecting eight goals and 17 points over that stretch. He needs one more tally to produce his seventh career 20-goal campaign.

Crosby pocketed two assists in Monday's 8-3 romp over the Islanders.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Stars due to a nagging lower-body injury, the future Hall of Famer helped set up tallies by Ryan Shea in the second period and Bryan Rust in the third. Crosby has produced one goal and seven points in six appearances since making his initial return from the injury he picked up during the Olympics, and on the season, he's churned out 28 goals and 66 points in 62 contests.

Harkins (upper body) will miss Monday's home game against the Maple Leafs, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Harkins returned to Anaheim during the team's recent three-game road trip after exiting Tuesday's contest in Vancouver. He'll miss his third consecutive game and will likely carry the questionable tag heading into Wednesday's road game in San Jose unless he can make progress in practice. Overall, the 28-year-old forward has eight points, 37 shots on net, 113 hits and 24 blocked shots across 44 outings this season.

Zary (upper body) will miss Monday's road matchup against the Avalanche, per the NHL Media Site.

Zary will be held out of Calgary's lineup for the fifth straight game after taking an illegal hit from Florida's A.J. Greer. Zary has 11 goals, 24 points, 99 shots on net and 44 hits across 67 games this season. The 24-year-old forward's next chance to return is Thursday's road contest against the Golden Knights.
