Duchene produced two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The veteran center helped set up tallies by Jason Robertson early in the first period and Miro Heiskanen late in the second, but the Dallas offense couldn't find any more offense. Duchene has reeled off three straight multi-point performances and five of his seven points during that stretch, including both his goals, have come with the man advantage. He'll look to stay hot in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Fisker Molgaard scored twice in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-4 win over Bakersfield in Game 2 on Saturday.

Fisker Molgaard had the Firebirds' last two goals of the game, keeping their season alive for one more day, at least. He had 34 points over 49 regular-season appearances in the AHL, and he added two assists in 13 NHL contests with the Kraken. The Danish forward still has a bit to prove in the AHL, but he may see more time in the NHL in 2026-27.

Jarvis logged two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators in Game 4.

Jarvis had gone six games without a point entering this contest. He also rested three times prior to the start of the postseason, but the Hurricanes got through a first-round sweep of the Senators without getting much out of the top line. Jarvis had 66 points over 71 regular-season outings this year. In his playoff career prior to this year, he picked up 19 goals and 43 points across 55 appearances.

Barkey scored a goal, added two PIM and logged four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

Barkey had gone nine contests without a goal entering this game. He's picked up two points, two shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over his first four playoff outings. The 20-year-old rookie logged 17 points, 43 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-6 rating over 43 regular-season games.

Acciari notched an assist and six hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Acciari snapped a four-game skid after missing one contest due to an upper-body injury late in the regular season. The 34-year-old has been a regular on the fourth line this year, earning 25 points, 93 shots on net, 65 hits and 62 blocked shots over 67 regular-season appearances. Acciari is in the playoffs for the eighth time in his career, having earned nine points over 65 postseason outings over the previous seven runs.

Lizotte registered an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Lizotte missed the last 16 games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, and this was his first point in four playoff outings. He had 19 points, 49 shots on net, 49 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 55 regular-season contests. This is Lizotte's fourth time in the postseason -- over the three previous runs he's been part of, he earned just two points across 15 appearances.

Bowman was recalled from AHL Henderson on Sunday.

Bowman contributed eight goals, 26 points, 75 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 19 hits in 54 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. He could be an option for Monday's Game 4 matchup against Utah.

Kaprizov picked up two assists Saturday in the Wild's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The superstar winger had a hand in a first-period tally by Brock Faber before he helped set up Matt Boldy's OT winner. Kaprizov has racked up a goal and six points in the first four games of the series heading into Game 5 on Tuesday back in Dallas.

Rantanen pocketed two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

Dallas' top power-play unit continues to hum, and all five of Rantanen's points in the series so far -- one goal and four helpers -- have come with the man advantage. The star winger will look to extend his point streak to four games on home ice for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Konecny scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

This tally ended a nine-game goal drought for Konecny. The 29-year-old has been fine this postseason with three points, five shots on net, 16 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over four contests. Konecny came into this postseason a veteran of two prior playoff runs, in which he accumulated a total of eight points over 22 outings. He had 27 goals, 68 points, 108 hits, 168 shots on net and 59 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances this year.

Batherson had a goal, an assist and added one minor penalty in a 4-2 loss to Carolina in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round.

Batherson led the Senators with three goals on nine shots and four points in four playoff games. He was just one of two Ottawa players to score a goal in the series. Dylan Cozens potted the Senators' other two tallies. Batherson scored in three straight games, tying him for third on the franchise's longest playoff goal streaks, behind Martin Havlat (six) and Daniel Alfredsson (five).

Aho scored two goals in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round.

Both went into an empty net. Aho's first came at 17:38 of the third to make it 3-1, and he added another at 18:45 after the Sens had pulled to within a goal. Aho put up seven goals, eight assists and 41 shots in 15 playoff games last postseason, and he has continued the magic with three goals and 10 shots in four games so far this year. Carolina's second line carried most of the weight against the Senators; Aho and his first-line mates will be looking to step things up in the second round against either the Flyers or the Penguins.

D'Astous (undisclosed) won't play against Montreal in Game 4 on Sunday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

D'Astous will miss his third straight game, but he has been skating and will have additional time to recover before Game 5 against the Canadiens on Wednesday. He generated six goals, 29 points, 80 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and 96 hits across 70 appearances in the 2025-26 regular season. Once healthy, D'Astous could replace Declan Carlile in the lineup.

Nikishin was officially diagnosed with a concussion suffered during Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators, the Hurricanes announced Sunday.

The injury was suffered after a massive open-ice hit thrown by Tyler Kleven. With his diagnosis, the 24-year-old will now have to clear the NHL's concussion protocol in order to return to the ice. The good news for him is that the Hurricanes dispatched the Senators in a sweep, so the team will have some time off as they await their second-round matchup, giving the young defenseman a chance to not miss a game. Nikishin finished with no points and was a plus-1 rating in the four games against the Senators.

Faber scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in the Wild's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The 23-year-old blueliner got Minnesota on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up Marcus Foligno's game-tying tally in the third. Faber has been impressive to begin the playoffs, collecting three goals and five points in four games as the series shifts back to Dallas for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Chatfield logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators in Game 4.

Chatfield had one helper, seven shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits and six PIM over four games as the Hurricanes swept the Senators out of the first round. The 29-year-old defenseman dealt with a lower-body injury late in the regular season but has been able to handle his usual top-four minutes in the playoffs. He posted 17 points, 100 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 72 regular-season outings.

York posted an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

York snapped an 11-game point drought with the helper. In that span, he still went plus-8 with 16 hits and 23 blocked shots. The 25-year-old is firmly in a top-four role this postseason. He produced 26 points, 89 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 74 regular-season contests this year.

Letang scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Letang had gone without a goal over his previous 38 games, with his last tally being Jan. 1 against the Red Wings. His game-winning goal Saturday was his first point over four contests in this first-round series against the Flyers. The defenseman has added eight shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating. Prior to this playoff run, Letang had totaled 90 points over 149 career postseason outings.

Wallstedt stopped 43 shots Saturday in the Wild's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The only two pucks to get past Wallstedt came on Stars power plays, and he turned aside all 17 shots he faced in the third period and OT before Matt Boldy found the game-winner. The 23-year-old netminder has a dazzling 2.06 GAA and .929 save percentage through four games, as the series shifts back to Dallas for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Oettinger made 40 saves Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

There wasn't much Oettinger could do on any of the pucks that got past him, including the OT winner that Matt Boldy tipped home on a shot from the blue line by Jared Spurgeon. The 27-year-old netminder sports a 2.69 GAA and .902 save percentage through four games, and the series is tied 2-2 heading back to Dallas for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Vladar allowed three goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Vladar was questionable due to an arm injury sustained in Game 3, but he was able to play. It's unclear how much that injury might have impacted his performance in this contest. The 28-year-old is 3-1 this postseason, allowing just seven goals on 94 shots over four contests. Assuming the injury concern doesn't resurface, Vladar will likely be between the pipes again for Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Silovs stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Silovs got the nod after Stuart Skinner lost three straight games to open the postseason. The 25-year-old Silovs did his job to keep the series alive, sending it back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Monday. He went 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 39 regular-season outings. Silovs' win Saturday likely puts him in line to start the next game.

Ullmark made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round. He allowed just two goals.

The four-game sweep was not on Ullmark. Only two Senators managed to score goals -- Drake Batherson had three and Dylan Cozens had two. Total. Ullmark finished with a .932 save percentage. He is just the second goalie in NHL history to have a save percentage north of .930 and still get swept in a four-game series, according to ESPN's Blake Warye. Jonathan Quick (.947) suffered the same fate in the first round in 2018.

Andersen made 25 saves in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round.

Andersen allowed just five goals in four games. He has dazzled with a 1.10 GAA, .955 save percentage and one shutout this postseason. Andersen has heard doubters throughout his career, but this performance has him near the top of the Conn Smythe odds list to this point in the postseason. He and the Canes now await the winner of the Flyers-Penguins series.
