W EDM
Savoie scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Savoie has found the back of the net in four of his last five games, tallying 18 shots and two hits over that span. The 22-year-old forward has benefited from skating on the first line next to Connor McDavid, which means Savoie should continue to experience an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in this role. Savoie has 15 goals and 32 points in what has been a solid rookie campaign for him across 76 contests.

Vasily Podkolzin
LW EDM
Podkolzin scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Podzolkin closed out the scoring for the Oilers with an empty-netter at the 18:59 mark of the final frame. The goal also gave the winger 17 on the season, and he should continue to find plenty of scoring opportunities if he stays on the first line alongside Connor McDavid and Matt Savoie.
Spencer Knight G CHI Fri 4/3/26 2:35 PM
Spencer Knight
G CHI
Knight stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Knight allowed just one of the three goals conceded by the Blackhawks, who got eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. The opening goal was actually allowed by Arvid Soderblom, who replaced Knight briefly in the second period due to an equipment issue, and the final goal was an empty-netter. Knight has dropped each of his last five starts, going 0-3-2 with a 3.47 GAA and a .901 save percentage over that span.
Arvid Soderblom G CHI Fri 4/3/26 2:31 PM
Arvid Soderblom
G CHI
Soderblom allowed one goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Soderblom replaced Spencer Knight at 3:18 of the second period, as the latter was dealing with an equipment issue, but Soderblom left the game at the 8:15 mark of the same frame. Soderblom is the clear No. 2 option between the posts for Chicago, so his fantasy appeal will be matchup-based until the end of the season for a team that's now officially eliminated from playoff contention with this loss.
Adam Erne W DAL Fri 4/3/26 2:28 PM
Adam Erne
W DAL
Erne had a goal, an assist and five hits in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Erne was active on both ends of the ice, tallying his first multi-point game of the season and also his 14th game with at least five hits. He has some appeal in leagues that reward physicality stats, but for the most part, Erne's upside as a fourth-liner is limited in most leagues.
Mattias Samuelsson D BUF Fri 4/3/26 2:26 PM
Mattias Samuelsson
D BUF
Samuelsson scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Samuelsson opened the scoring at 8:49 of the second period. The defenseman has enjoyed a career year, but he's slowed down slightly with seven points and a plus-4 rating over his last 15 outings. Overall, he's still firmly in a top-four role, which has seen him earn 13 goals, 41 points, 104 shots on net, 126 hits, 144 blocked shots and a plus-32 rating over 73 appearances. His point total this year matches his combined total from the previous four seasons, which saw him skate in 200 contests.
Arttu Hyry RW DAL Fri 4/3/26 2:26 PM
Arttu Hyry
RW DAL
Hyry recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Hyry scored the first goal of his career in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers on Sunday, and the 24-year-old forward now has three points over his last three games. He has seen more playing time of late, but don't expect Hyry to be a valuable fantasy contributor for the Stars any time soon. His role as a fourth-line forward and penalty-killing specialist limits his upside considerably.
Lars Eller C OTT Fri 4/3/26 2:23 PM
Lars Eller
C OTT
Eller scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Eller has two goals and an assist over his last six games. He got a piece of an Artem Zub shot at 5:55 of the third period, netting what was the Senators' game-winning tally. Eller is up to five goals, 14 points, 65 shots on net, 46 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 61 appearances this season, playing mainly in the bottom six.
Dylan Cozens C/RW OTT Fri 4/3/26 2:22 PM
Dylan Cozens
C/RW OTT
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 Fri 4/3/26 2:15 PM
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.
