Mark Scheifele Establishes New Franchise Record With 101 Points
Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele set a franchise single-season record with 101 points during a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. Winnipeg was outclassed for much of the night, but Scheifele popped up with a goal and a power-play assist in the third period. Winnipeg's scoring record had stood since the franchise was still in Atlanta and Marian Hossa had 100 points in 2006-07. Scheifele has had a fantastic late-season stretch to surpass the record with two games remaining. His efforts across the last 10 games have resulted in 18 points (four goals, 14 assists). Overall, he had tallied 35 goals and 66 assists in 80 contests.

Quinton Byfield Scores Twice in Playoff Clincher
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield scored two goals as the team clinched a playoff spot with a 5-3 road victory over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night. Byfield's work helped the Kings get off to a strong start, with the 23-year-old potting two unassisted goals in the first period. Byfield has blown hot and cold late in the season. He boasts five multi-point efforts in his last 11 appearances but hasn't picked up any points in the other six games. With two regular-season contests remaining, Byfield is four short of his third consecutive 50-point campaign. He has contributed 22 goals and 24 assists in 77 appearances.

Porter Martone Extends Point Streak to Five Games
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Porter Martone continued his dream start in the NHL with an assist in Monday's playoff-clinching 3-2 shootout victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. He collected a power-play helper midway through the second period as Trevor Zegras made it 2-2. Martone became the fifth teenager in Flyers history to record a five-game point streak. He has notched three goals and five assists through his first eight career appearances. Sean Couturier is the only player to post a six-game point streak as a teenager with the Flyers. Martone has a chance to match that record on Tuesday night against Montreal.

Macklin Celebrini Nets Two Goals Against Predators
San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini lit the lamp twice in Monday's 3-2 road win over the Nashville Predators. He bagged a pair of goals, including an empty-netter, in the third period after Igor Chernyshov had given San Jose the lead with a power-play goal. Despite beating the Predators, the playoff door was shut in front of the Sharks on Monday night. This means Celebrini will get only two more opportunities to showcase his talent this season. He is just three points away from breaking Joe Thornton's franchise record for most points in a single season. Celebrini has managed 112 points (44 goals, 68 assists) across 80 games during his sophomore year.

Matt Duchene Registers Three Assists Monday Night
Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene kicked off the final week of regular-season action with a hat trick of assists in Monday's 6-5 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Two of Duchene's assists helped Mavrick Bourque get his first career hat trick. Jason Robertson also benefited from his creativity. Duchene is heading into the playoffs in hot form. He boasts five assists across his last two contests and has averaged a point per game in his last 13 outings. The 35-year-old sits on 45 points (16 goals, 29 assists) through 56 regular-season games, with one more matchup to go.

Nikita Kucherov Hits 130-Point Mark in Monday's Overtime Win
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov reached the 130-point mark for the second time in his career with a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings. Kucherov has tormented the Red Wings throughout his time in the NHL, and it was no different in this game. The former MVP assisted Jake Guentzel on Tampa Bay's third goal and struck the game-winner 27 seconds into overtime. With his 44th goal of the season, Kucherov matched his career high from the 2023-24 campaign. He has 86 assists in 75 outings. Unfortunately for Kucherov, it appears he will just miss out on his third consecutive Art Ross Trophy. Edmonton's Connor McDavid is four points ahead of him on the NHL's scoring charts, and both have only one regular-season game left. But he will sleep well knowing he's one of only 10 players in NHL history with multiple 130-point seasons.

Jack Eichel Collects Four Points Against Jets
Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel was an unstoppable force against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, logging four points in a 6-2 victory. He scored a power-play goal and dished out three assists, including one in a short-handed situation. This was Eichel's seventh four-point game with the Golden Knights, tying him with Mark Stone for the most in franchise history. After going scoreless in John Tortorella's first game on the Vegas bench, Eichel has led the Golden Knights' turnaround with two goals and eight assists in six contests. He is very close to his second consecutive 90-point campaign, needing to produce at least two points in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Seattle. In 73 appearances, Eichel has bagged 27 goals and 61 assists.

Frank Nazar Good to Go Monday
Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar (mouth) is expected to play on Monday against the Buffalo Sabres, The Athletic's Mark Lazerus reports. Nazar took a puck to the face on Saturday against St. Louis, forcing him to leave the game early. But he won't have to sit out any additional time. The 22-year-old has registered 41 points (15 goals, 26 assists) in 64 games during his sophomore season. He is expected to skate with Ryan Donato and Andre Burakovsky in Monday's game. Nazar will also remain part of Chicago's first power-play unit.

Brandon Hagel Misses Monday's Action
Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel (lower body) won't play on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. After missing five games, Hagel rejoined the lineup on Saturday against Boston, but he apparently still isn't fully healthy. The 27-year-old scored his 36th goal of the campaign in Saturday's 2-1 win. Additionally, he has produced 38 assists in 74 appearances. Gage Goncalves, who has notched assists in back-to-back games, will ride on the top line and the first power-play unit against Detroit, making him a very attractive fantasy target.

Michael Bunting, Radek Faksa Rejoin Stars Lineup Monday
Dallas Stars forward Michael Bunting (lower body) and Radek Faksa (lower body) will return to the lineup on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Dallas has been banged up all season but will get some help on the frontline for the final week of regular-season action. Bunting will be an interesting DFS play on Monday, as he is expected to join Wyatt Johnston and Mikko Rantanen on the first line. He is also set to fill a spot on the second power-play unit. Faksa will center the fourth line and is a valuable addition for the team's penalty kill.

Wild Resting Several Key Players Monday
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (rest) is among many key players sitting out Monday's contest against the St. Louis Blues, The Athletic's Michael Russo reports. The team has also decided to rest forwards Mats Zuccarello, Joel Eriksson Ek, Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, and Ryan Hartman, as well as defensemen Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber. Zuccarello and Eriksson Ek will sit out a second consecutive game. With much of the Wild's core missing the action, younger players like Danila Yurov and Hunter Haight will take on extra responsibilities. On the defensive end, plenty of ice time will open up, considering the heavy minutes Hughes and Faber usually account for.

Jared McCann to Miss Kraken's Last Three Games
Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann (lower body) won't be part of the lineup during the team's last three games of the 2025-26 campaign. He will end the season with 40 points (20 goals, 20 assists) in 52 appearances. McCann had tough luck with injuries this year after missing just three games in the last three seasons combined. The 29-year-old will have the final season of a five-year, $25 million contract in 2026-27. On Monday, the Kraken will also remain without Shane Wright (upper body), but he could return during the final week after wearing a regular jersey during Monday's morning skate.

Jonathan Quick to Make Final NHL Appearance Monday
New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick will suit up for the final time in the NHL on Monday night against the Florida Panthers. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner told reporters Monday morning that he is retiring after 19 NHL seasons. Quick will hang up his mask as the winningest American goalie in NHL history. He has a 410-306-90 career record prior to Monday's action, while also holding the shutout record among U.S.-born netminders with 65. Quick, who turned 40 in January, has won the Stanley Cup three times. This season, Quick has gone 6-16-2 with a 3.09 goals-against average, a .893 save percentage, and two shutouts.
