Hughes scored two goals, recorded three assists and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 7-3 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Hughes stole the show in Thursday's victory, as he tallied two consecutive goals midway through the contest, including the game-winning tally. He also picked up a helper late in the first period and two assists in the third. Overall, the 24-year-old star is up to 24 goals, 44 assists, 200 shots on net and 23 blocked shots through 54 games this season. Hughes has been unstoppable since the Olympics with 32 points over his last 18 games, which ranks second in the NHL during that span. He's on pace to post the second-best points-per-game total of his career behind his 99-point campaign across 78 regular-season games during the 2022-23 season. When healthy, Hughes is a superstar for fantasy hockey.

Shesterkin made 22 saves in a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Shesterkin stayed out of the penalty box Thursday; he made headlines Tuesday with a goalie fight with Jacob Markstrom. Shesterkin is 2-5-0 in seven starts over the last two weeks. He has allowed 19 goals (.898) in that span. Shesterkin is a fantasy superstar, but the team in front of him may make him a risk to your postseason run.

Jake Allen

Allen turned aside 29 of 32 shots on goal in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Allen played his part in Thursday's dominant win by allowing just one goal across the final 50 minutes of regulation. With the win, he is up to a 16-16-1 record, a 2.70 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. The 35-year-old netminder has won each of his last three starts and has four wins over his last five outings. He's been called upon more frequently since mid-March and is a solid spot start in most fantasy formats when he's called upon to guard New Jersey's crease.

Fox notched a goal in a 3-2 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal extended Fox's point streak to five games and eight points (two goals, six assists), and he has 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) in his last 14 games. This is the Fox that managers have waited all season for. He has elevated his overall stat line to seven goals, 38 assists and 79 shots in 49 games this season. That's a 75-point pace.

Logan Thompson

Thompson stopped 23 of 29 shots on net in Thursday's 7-3 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson allowed three goals in the first period before allowing two consecutive tallies to New Jersey's Jack Hughes later in regulation. With the loss, Thompson now holds a 27-21-6 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 54 outings this season. Thursday's loss snapped his three-game win streak and marked just his second defeat in regulation over his last nine appearances. He's appeared in every game for the Capitals in that span, and his subpar results have started to snowball, allowing four or more goals in each of his last three outings. His next chance to bounce back is in the Caps' first half of a back-to-back during Saturday's home clash with the Sabres.

Will Cuylle

Cuylle scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday. He fired six shots and delivered six hits.
EDGE Analysis
It was Cuylle's first goal in 14 games (one assist; 24 shots). Overall, he has 17 goals, 17 assists, 146 shots and 271 hits in 76 games this season. Cuylle isn't likely to offer much by way of offense for the rest of the season, but he does have 29 hits in his last eight games. His six Thursday moved him past Jack McBain into third in the NHL in hits. Cuylle could be a category booster if you need help until year end.

Liam Greentree

Thu 4/2/26 11:11 PM

Greentree scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Windsor's 11-3 win over Guelph in Game 4 on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Greentree helped the Spitfires sweep the Storm in the first round of the OHL postseason. The 20-year-old Rangers prospect put up seven points over four games in the series. He was limited to 74 points in 52 regular-season outings this year, but his scoring is up in the playoffs, which is good news for a Windsor team with eyes on a deep run.

Jakub Fibigr

Thu 4/2/26 11:08 PM

Fibigr notched three assists in OHL Windsor's 11-3 win over Guelph in Game 4 on Thursdya.
EDGE Analysis
Fibigr put up 40 points over 56 regular-season contests between Brampton and Windsor this season, and he's earned seven points over four playoff games. The 2024 seventh-round pick of Seattle probably won't be a major performer on offense in the long run. He hasn't signed his entry-level deal with the Kraken yet, so he'll have some options open to him once Windsor's playoff run is done, as he'll turn 20 in July.

Hopkins scored twice in OHL Guelph's 11-3 loss to Windsor in Game 4 on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
These goals were Hopkins' only points over four playoff outings this year. He had 50 points in 56 regular-season contests as well. The Maple Leafs prospect has done an alright job so far, but another year of development in the OHL would probably do him some good.

Christian Humphreys

Thu 4/2/26 11:03 PM

Humphreys scored twice and added an assist in OHL Kitchener's 5-1 win over Saginaw on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Humphreys' performance helped Kitchener earn the first-round series sweep. The 20-year-old winger is up to four goals, 11 shots on net and five assists over four playoff contests. He had just 10 points in 13 postseason outings a year ago, so this is a major step up for the Avalanche prospect.
