Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury snapped a two-year goalless drought, scoring once and adding an assist.

Mark Scheifele followed with his 31st goal of the season. It marks the fifth time in his career he has cleared the 30-goal mark, though he has also finished just short of the milestone a few seasons.

Kyle Connor matched Scheifele with his own 31st of the year, which stood as the game-winner. This marked Connors 62nd game-winning goal of his career, tying Hall of Famer Brett Hull for sixth-most by a winger within their first 10 NHL seasons.

Eric Comrie got the start in goal and turned aside 31 shots, allowing just two goals in the win.

The Blues managed only two goals, coming from Dalibor Dvorsky and Dylan Holloway.

Jordan Binnington struggled, stopping 13 of 16 shots. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for St. Louis.

Jimmy Snuggerud picked up an assist after going pointless in his previous two games.

Logan Mailloux also recorded an assist while logging 24:58 of ice time, the highest total among Blues skaters. Philip Broberg was close behind at 24:42.

Since the trade of Justin Faulk to the Detroit Red Wings, Broberg's workload has increased. His ice time has climbed and he has begun seeing more power-play deployment, including time as the primary quarterback on the top unit. Even a partial share of first-unit power-play usage alongside heavy even-strength minutes gives his fantasy value a lift among defensemen. He is still widely available in Yahoo leagues and may be worth a look, however his physical game has declined compared to previous seasons, which limits his peripheral production, keep that in mind depending on your league format.

The Ottawa Senators dropped seven on the San Jose Sharks, led by Drake Batherson who scored twice, including the game-winner. Batherson is tracking toward a 77-point campaign and is positioned to surpass his previous career high in points.

Fabian Zetterlund recorded a goal and an assist against his former team, while Dylan Cozens, Warren Foegele and Tyler Kleven each scored. Brady Tkachuk added an empty-net goal and an assist, continuing to pile up points and peripherals.

Although he did not register a point, Thomas Chabot logged 28:29 of ice time, nearly ten minutes more than any other Ottawa defenseman. The workload highlights how much the Senators are feeling the absence of Jake Sanderson.

Linus Ullmark picked up the win, stopping 19 of 23 shots. Ullmark now has five wins in his last eight starts.

For San Jose, Laurent Brossoit made 17 saves on 23 shots in his first appearance of the season with the Sharks.

Macklin Celebrini continued his elite rookie campaign with another point, reaching 60 assists in 65 games. That is the fastest pace for a Sharks player since Erik Karlsson hit the mark in 63 games during the 2022–23 season.

Tyler Toffoli recorded a goal and an assist and sits around 18 goals and 25 assists through 65 games while maintaining steady top line minutes and prime powerplay deployment.

Michael Misa also scored and continues to see consistent top-six usage, benefiting from San Jose's skill-driven forward group.

After a three-game pointless streak, Leo Carlsson, finished with three points (2G, 1A).

A pretty passing play gets the @AnaheimDucks on the board! 🚨 pic.twitter.com/sCt38rAtwp

— NHL (@NHL) March 15, 2026

Carlsson received strong support from Troy Terry, who posted a goal and two assists for a three-point night himself. This game marked Terry's return to the lineup, and he immediately re-established himself in a top offensive role.

With Terry slotting back into the lineup, Mason McTavish was a healthy scratch for Anaheim. It's been an interesting season for him, many expected him to take the next step and potentially break out, but it hasn't quite clicked yet.

Cutter Gauthier scored the game-winning goal and now sits at 34 goals on the season, putting the 40-goal mark well within reach.

In goal, Lukas Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots to earn the win. Montreal generated consistent pressure throughout, but Dostal made the key saves when it mattered to secure the victory.

Speaking of potential 40-goal seasons, Cole Caufield scored his 39th goal of the season and is closing in on his first 40-goal milestone in the NHL. I had projected Caufield to hit 40 last season but he fell just three goals short of that prediction.

In goal, Jacob Fowler stopped 24 of 28 shots in the loss, keeping Montreal competitive despite allowing four goals. Martin St. Louis appears comfortable giving Fowler the crease as the Canadiens pushes toward the playoffs. If his workload increases down the stretch, Fowler could be a useful add for fantasy managers, especially in leagues that value starts and volume, making him a viable deeper-league option heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Bo Groulx led the Leafs offensively with two goals, marking the first multi-goal game of his NHL career after entering the night with just two goals in 68 career games.

Morgan Rielly added a goal of his own, while Matthew Knies capped it with an empty-netter to secure the win.

The victory improves Toronto's short-term form to 2–0–1 in their last three games, though with the season effectively out of reach, it's a mixed result for Leafs fans.

On the other side, Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals in just 23 seconds during a single shift, setting the fastest two-goal mark by a player for the franchise in the last two decades.

TARASENKO WITH 2 GOALS IN 23 SECONDS AND WE GOT A ONE GOAL GAME 😱🚨 pic.twitter.com/LlKo5NadBg

— B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) March 16, 2026

Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman each picked up an assist on Tarasenko's goals. Over his last 13 games, Zuccarello has totaled 11 points (4 goals, 7 assists), including five power-play points.

Despite the late push from the Wild, Anthony Stolarz kept Toronto in control, stopping 36 shots with a .947 save percentage and 2.07 GAA, delivering a strong performance between the pipes.

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Nashville Predators 3–1 behind a three-assist night from Connor McDavid.

Leon Draisaitl, Matthew Savoie and Zach Hyman each scored, while Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm recorded assists.

Leon Draisaitl appeared to be injured after taking a hard hit early in the game and did not return to the bench. There's no update on his status yet, so keep an eye on the Injury Ward for any developments.

In goal, Connor Ingram stopped 27 of 28 shots to secure his 10th win with Edmonton.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins returned back to the Oilers lineup after missing a game and spent most of the game skating with Jason Dickinson and Jack Roslovic.

For Nashville, the main takeaway was Fedor Svechkov scoring the team's lone goal, with little else to report offensively as Nashville's stars could not get anything past Ingram.

Bobby McMann now has five points in his last two games with the Kraken and looks to be settling in seamlessly on the top line with Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle.

Kaapo Kakko finished with a goal and two assists.

Four other Seattle players — Berkly Catton, Ben Meyers, Ryan Winterton, and Jamie Oleksiak all had a goal and an assist, posting multi-point nights.

For Florida, the three-game winning streak came to an end, with Vinnie Hinostroza and Eetu Luostarinen the only Panthers to score in the loss.
