Fri 4/3/26 3:15 AM

Hart stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hart missed the last 33 games while dealing with a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old goalie wasn't great in his return, but the Golden Knights surged in the third period to get him the win. Hart is 6-3-3 with a 3.25 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 13 starts this season. Now that he's healthy, Hart could have the chance to take over the No. 1 job heading into the playoffs, as Adin Hill has struggled and Akira Schmid hasn't been trusted with much playing time. The Golden Knights have a big test up next when they visit the Oilers on Saturday.

Nikita Kucherov
RW TB
Fri 4/3/26 3:08 AM

Kucherov scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 win over the Penguins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Kucherov's 19th game with at least three points this season and tied the great Peter Stastny (1982-83) for the seventh-most in a single season by a player born outside North America. Kucherov sits two points behind Connor McDavid (126) for the NHL scoring lead. Kucherov's 1.80 points per game played remains the best of the best. He has a chance to win the Art Ross trophy again. He earned it in 2024-25 (121 points).

Anthony Cirelli
C TB
Fri 4/3/26 2:57 AM

Cirelli delivered a hat trick Thursday in a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
It was his second NHL hattie and first since Jan. 17, 2020. Cirelli has 146 goals which puts him 10th place in franchise history. He passed Frederik Modin (144). He has 52 points (23 goals, 29 assists) and 120 saves in 67 games this season. It's the second time that Cirelli has delivered a 50-plus point campaign.

Bobby McMann
LW SEA
Fri 4/3/26 2:56 AM

McMann scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
McMann has been a natural for the Kraken, scoring four goals and adding two assists over his last five games. He's up to 12 points in 10 contests for his new team. The 29-year-old forward has 27 goals, 44 points, 154 shots on net, 154 hits and 32 PIM over 70 appearances between Seattle and Toronto. McMann has a chance at the 30-goal mark if his recent surge is sustained over the last two weeks of the campaign.

Jordan Eberle
RW SEA
Fri 4/3/26 2:54 AM

Eberle scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Eberle struck just 41 seconds into the game to open the scoring. The winger has hit a rough patch with just three points over his last seven contests, though he remains firmly in a top-six role for the Kraken. Overall, Eberle is at 24 goals, 52 points, 157 shots on net, 51 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 72 appearances in what's been a nice bounce-back campaign for him.

Joey Daccord
G SEA
Fri 4/3/26 2:49 AM

Daccord allowed six goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
The Kraken jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the Mammoth got one goal back in that frame, then scored twice in the second and thrice in the third to run away with the game. This was a tough loss for Daccord and the Kraken, as it makes their path to the playoffs all that much harder. He's allowed 16 goals while going 0-3-1 over his last four outings, and he's down to 19-19-6 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 44 appearances this season. Philipp Grubauer is likely to get the nod Saturday versus the Blackhawks after Daccord's poor showing Thursday.

Kailer Yamamoto
RW UTA
Fri 4/3/26 2:45 AM

Yamamoto notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Yamamoto snapped a five-game point drought with this effort, which saw him assist goals by JJ Peterka and Dylan Guenther in the third period. Yamamoto had been limited to two points and 13 shots on net over his previous 18 appearances since his last multi-point outing. He's earned 10 goals, 10 assists, 44 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-13 rating over 52 appearances this season. This is the first time he's gotten to the 20-point mark since 2022-23 with the Oilers.

Michael Carcone
LW UTA
Fri 4/3/26 2:42 AM

Carcone scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Carcone had been limited to one assist over his last six games since he scored March 16 in Dallas. The 29-year-old forward has provided some depth scoring from a third-line role this season. He's at 15 goals, 28 points, 138 shots on net, 135 hits and a plus-3 rating over 72 appearances. He earned a two-year contract extension March 20, so he will be part of the Mammoth's short-term future as a depth forward.

JJ Peterka
W UTA
Fri 4/3/26 2:40 AM

Peterka scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Peterka's tally put the Mammoth ahead 4-2 in the third period, the first of three goals for the visitors in that frame. This ended an eight-game goal drought for the winger, who had three assists in that span. Peterka has struggled with consistency at times this season, and he's also had fairly modest production with no multi-point efforts since Jan. 31 versus the Stars. He's now at 23 goals, 44 points, 143 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances.

Nick Schmaltz
C/RW UTA
Fri 4/3/26 2:35 AM

Schmaltz scored a goal on four shots and dished an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came on the power play. Schmaltz has earned four goals and four assists over his last eight outings, and his last four points have come with a man advantage. The 30-year-old forward continues to impress in a career year, amassing 28 goals, 67 points (17 on the power play), 181 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 75 appearances. Schmaltz is a fixture on the Mammoth's top line and first power-play unit, and he'll look to achieve his first 30-goal regular season with a strong run over the last two weeks of the campaign.
