Cozens scored a goal on six shots and added four hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens has tallied twice in the last three games. His tally Thursday tied the game at 1-1 late in the second period against his former team. The 25-year-old center has thrived with the Senators this year, earning 26 goals, 53 points, 183 shots on net, 204 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 75 appearances, mainly in a second-line role. This is the first year he's been over the 20-goal and 50-point marks since 2022-23, when he had 31 goals and 68 points in 81 contests for the Sabres.

Porter Martone
RW PHI
Martone logged an assist, nine shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Martone needed just two NHL games to get his first point. The top prospect has added 14 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-1 rating so far while seeing steady top-six minutes. He looks ready for the moment after making the jump following a single season at Michigan State University, where he had 50 points in 35 outings. Martone may be given favorable zone starts to help his adjustment, but his scoring instincts will be given plenty of room to grow late this season.

Tyson Foerster
C/RW PHI
Foerster scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Foerster was initially injured Dec. 1, and he was given a five-month timeline to return after undergoing surgery Dec. 15. He returned faster than expected and was able to play 16:19 in his first game back, scoring the Flyers' first goal just 31 ticks into the second period. Injuries have made this a bit of a lost year for the winger, but he's still amassed 11 goals, 14 points, 45 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 22 outings. Foerster will be a candidate for top-six minutes and power-play time while the Flyers try to pull off a long-shot attempt at making the playoffs.
Jake Oettinger G DAL Fri 4/3/26 2:11 PM

Oettinger posted a 22-save in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Oettinger responded every time he was tested, and the star goaltender won a fierce battle against another Olympic gold medalist in Connor Hellebuyck. The Stars have been slumping of late, and Oettinger hasn't been able to escape the team's recent woes. Over his last 10 appearances, Oettinger has gone 6-2-1 with a 2.23 GAA and .910 save percentage.
Matt Duchene C/RW DAL Fri 4/3/26 2:09 PM
Matt Duchene
C/RW DAL
Duchene scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has found the back of the net in consecutive games for the first time since February, as he also scored in the 6-3 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday. Duchene has been one of the few bright spots for the Stars of late amid the team's drop in form. The 35-year-old veteran has found the scoresheet in all but one of his last eight games, tallying seven points in that stretch, and he has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 17 appearances since the beginning of March.
Travis Konecny RW PHI Fri 4/3/26 2:08 PM
Travis Konecny
RW PHI
Konecny scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Konecny has two goals and four assists over his last four games. The 29-year-old is playing his off wing to help Porter Martone adjust to the NHL on his natural side. The results have been good for Konecny, who continues to be a key part of the Flyers' top six and power play. He's now at 27 goals, 66 points, 161 shots on net, 98 hits, 57 PIM and 36 blocked shots over 71 appearances this season.

Gudas (lower body) has been ruled out of Friday's tilt against St. Louis, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gudas will miss his third game in the last four with the injury. He played against Toronto on Monday, as he wanted to face the Maple Leafs after his knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews on March 12 drew a tremendous amount of ire around the NHL. Gudas has two goals, 11 assists, 160 hits, 88 blocked shots and 62 PIM over 55 games this season.

Raymond scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Raymond was shuffled down to the third line Thursday but still led all Red Wings forwards with 20:14 of ice time. Detroit is talented enough to spread its scorers over three lines. Raymond is rolling with five goals and two assists over his last nine outings, and he's up to 25 goals, 72 points (26 on the power play), 157 shots on net, 40 hits, 27 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-7 rating across 73 appearances.
Lukas Dostal G ANA Fri 4/3/26 2:05 PM
Lukas Dostal

Dostal is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Friday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Dostal has lost his past two starts, keeping him one shy of reaching 30 victories in a regular season for the first time in his career. He's at 29-17-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 51 appearances in 2025-26. St. Louis ranks 28th in goals per game with 2.64, and the Blues have dropped their past two games (0-1-1) to fall to 31-31-12 on the season, so this looks like a favorable matchup for the netminder.
Jordan Harris D BOS Fri 4/3/26 2:04 PM
Jordan Harris

Harris was scratched for the 15th game in a row in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Harris missed a large portion of the season due to an ankle injury, but he's been healthy since early February. That hasn't helped him get into the lineup, and it's discouraging for Harris that Henri Jokiharju has been the one to cover Mason Lohrei's (upper body) absence over the last three contests. If the Bruins wrap up their playoff spot early, Harris might get into a game or two to allow the team to rest some veterans ahead of the playoffs, but the blueliner has minimal fantasy value.
