Gibson turned aside 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The victory allowed the Red Wings to keep pace with the Senators in the battle for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Gibson has allowed more than three goals only once in his last 10 outings, going 4-5-1 over that stretch with a 2.86 GAA and .899 save percentage. Detroit has seven games left on its schedule, and the veteran netminder needs three more wins to tie the career-high 31 he recorded for Anaheim in 2017-18.

It was Bennett's 26th goal of the season and his fifth GWG, and over 13 games since the beginning of March he's produced six goals and 12 points as the Panthers play out the string on a disappointing campaign.

Willander tallied a goal, put two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Willander found the back of the net for his fifth goal of the season in Thursday's clash. He's posted solid numbers for a rookie campaign with 20 points, 53 shots on net, 25 hits and 70 blocked shots across 63 appearances. The 21-year-old blueliner has a point in back-to-back games and is skating on Vancouver's second defensive pairing. He's an intriguing player to add in deep dynasty-based fantasy leagues, as his rookie campaign has been a solid audition for a larger role next season.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal and fired six shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrusk scored the second goal for the Canucks across a 42-second span in the opening period. The twine finder extended his point streak to four games and was his fourth goal over his last six appearances. Overall, the 29-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, 37 points, 194 shots on net, 61 hits and 31 blocked shots through 74 games this season. While he's taken a small step back in production during his second full season with the Canucks, DeBrusk is still on pace to finish the season with 40-plus points, which would be his fifth consecutive season reaching that total. He's getting hot at the right time for fantasy purposes, making DeBrusk a solid streaming option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

With the pair of helpers, Zuccarrello is up to 32 assists, 47 points, 117 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 55 games this season. He has posted back-to-back multi-point outings and has four multi-point performances since March 3.

Overall, he is up to 37 points, 157 shots on net, 61 hits and 94 blocked shots across 71 games this season. Hartman is currently on a four-game point streak and has nine points over his last eight outings.

Kaprizov's twine finder Thursday brought him up to 40 goals on the season, reaching that milestone for the fourth time in his six-year NHL career. He hit goal No. 40 on the same night Matt Boldy did as well. Overall, Kaprizov is up to 83 points, 252 shots on net, 48 hits and 24 blocked shots across 73 games this season.

Boldy scored two goals, recorded an assist, fired six shots on net and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
After experiencing a cold stretch across the back half of March, Boldy kicked off the month of April with an excellent performance. He tallied the game's opening goal before striking the back of the net a second time just 23 seconds into the middle period. Thursday's pair of goals elevated him to 40 on the season, making the 24-year-old winger just the ninth player to hit that threshold this season. He's put together an extremely well-rounded campaign with 39 assists, 79 points, 239 shots on net, 57 hits and 54 blocked shots across 71 outings. Boldy has leveled up this season and is back on track to finish the campaign above 80 points for the first time in his five-year NHL career.
