Pleased Wednesday, Razzball devoted!
Apparently, all we would have liked to do to get up the sleeping Panther kitties was to reunite the Tkachuk brothers within the Sunshine state (even when one was solely visiting) and to inform Linus Ullmark that he was again with the 2020 Buffalo Sabres.
Our favourite Swedish goalie, whose title rhymes with a giggle-worthy physique half, had one of many roughest begins of his profession in Florida on Tuesday evening.
Florida struck with pointed claws simply 63 seconds into the sport, and Mr. Ullmark was yanked after permitting 5 objectives on simply 16 pictures. Oh, Linus.
It was a kick within the abdomen for a surging Sens squad, who discovered themselves out of a wild-card spot by simply two factors once they began the day. By the top of the evening, Ullmark and the remainder of his Senators brethren have been on the incorrect facet of a 6-3 loss to the back-to-back Stanley Cup champs.
As for Florida’s large win on the evening, one factor stays clear: In the event you mess with the Panther, typically you get the claws.
Who knew all of the Florida Panthers wanted to offer them a jolt was the promise that in the event that they gained two factors, they’d be simply two factors behind the Toronto Maple Leafs (with a sport in hand!)?
And talking of factors, there have been numerous them on this sport. However what sort of lopsided rating sheets can we glance by means of elsewhere within the league?
Linus Ullmark – 11 saves on 16 pictures and the loss. Eliminated after 14:36 within the first interval. Yeesh.
James Reimer – 12 saves on 13 pictures. You recognize it’s unhealthy when your starter will get pulled in favor of James Reimer.
Michael Amadio – 1 G (13), 1 A (19), +1, 2 SOG. 6 factors in his final 10 video games, however I wouldn’t be rostering him in something however a really deep league.
Daniil Tarasov – 22 saves on 25 pictures within the 6-3 win vs OTT. This one broke a private 4-game shedding streak for Florida’s backup goalie.
Carter Verhaeghe – 2 G (23), 1 A (30), 6 SOG, 1 H, 1 BLK. There have been a bunch of factors on this one. It might be too little too late for the Panthers, however that doesn’t imply they will’t spoil some playoff hopes for everybody else the remainder of the best way.
Matthew Tkachuk – 1 G (13), 3 A (18), 5 SOG, 1 H, 17:13 TOI. He’s over a point-per-game and has 12 factors in his final 10 GP.
Seth Jones – 3 A (23), +2, 1 SOG, 1 H. 10 totally different Panthers recorded at the least one level on this sport. Speak about sharing the wealth.
Joonas Korpisalo – 13 saves on 16 pictures and the 6-3 win vs DAL. Don’t look now, youngsters, however the Bruins are on a little bit of a heater. This was their 4th dub in a row, and the final three video games weren’t cookie matchups by any means. A convincing three-goal win over Minnesota, and two extra time wins in opposition to Buffalo and Columbus, gave the Bruins essential factors and a critical enhance in confidence. Final evening’s win vs DAL tied them for 4th place within the convention (albeit briefly with Montreal). It’s a dogfight for positioning within the Japanese playoff image, and Boston is hitting its stride.
Viktor Arvidsson – 3 G (24), +1, 2 PIM, 4 SOG, and 9 factors in his final 4 video games. Purple-hot!
David Pastrnak – 3 A (66), +3, 2 PIM, 3 SOG, 18:27 TOI. Ah, sure, famous playmaker David Pastrnak. Pasta is a goal-scorer first, however the 66 assists are good for 4th-best within the league, too (tied with Evan Bouchard and Quinn Hughes).
Jake Oettinger – 17 saves on 21 pictures within the 6-3 loss. Dallas had already clinched a playoff spot and recorded their a centesimal level of the yr. If my favourite workforce have been within the West, I wouldn’t need them to be going through the Stars in Spherical 1.
Wyatt Johnston – 1 G (41), 1 A (39), -1, 1 SOG, 2 H, 3 BLK, 23:04 TOI. The aim got here with a few minute left in regulation, however even when it didn’t imply a lot on the scoreboard, it was nonetheless a factor of magnificence. A man with 41 objectives on the yr isn’t precisely flying below anybody’s radar, however Wyatt Johnston isn’t as a lot of a family title as he must be, that’s for certain.
Jason Robertson – 2 A (49), -3, 2 PIM, 2 SOG. It’s humorous that NESN ran a graphic early within the sport exhibiting each of those guys. Dallas is SO deep that they boast TWO 40-goal scorers…and neither one among them is Mikko Rantanen.
Jacob Markstrom – 18 saves on 22 pictures and the 4-1 loss at NYR. Is it actually that unhealthy for those who lose to the Third-worst workforce within the league, however are additionally fairly darn near the underside 10 in that record as effectively? BUT…is there something value checking in on with these two goalies?! Why, sure, there may be!

— Rangers Movies (@SNYRangers) April 1, 2026
Luke Hughes – 1 A (29), 4 SOG. 7 factors in his final 10 video games is okay, however 35 factors in 64 GP is fairly “Meh”.
Igor Shesterkin – 22 saves on 23 pictures within the win vs NJ. The Rangers are enjoying for nothing greater than pleasure as they put in time till the ultimate sport of the yr. Beating Jersey or the Islanders counts as a type of “ethical victories” now, although.
Adam Fox – 2 A (38), +1, 1 H, 1 BLK. Having Adam Fox wholesome for the entire yr may not have made the distinction between the place they’re now and a possible playoff berth, however his 44 factors in 48 video games tempo would have actually been welcomed all through a full season.
Ilya Sorokin – 29 saves on 32 pictures and the 4-3 loss at BUF. It wasn’t as unhealthy because the 7 GA vs PIT in his final begin, however Sorokin has received simply 4 of his final 10 begins.
Brayden Schenn – 1 G (17), 1 A (21), 1 SOG, 3 H. I nearly forgot Schenn was traded to NYI on the deadline. He’s a strong streamer, if not an auto-start.
Bo Horvat – 3 A (25), 3 SOG, 1 H, 12-for-23 FOW, 21:22 TOI. It felt a bit like David Pastrnak’s evening with a handful of assists from a goal-scorer, however at the least they have been padding the stats column for our fantasy golf equipment.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen – 25 saves on 28 pictures and the 4-3 win vs NYI. If anybody was ready for the Sabres to hit a rut after their “sizzling streak”, I’ve acquired unhealthy information for you. The division title isn’t a given, but when anybody had stated again in October that Buffalo could be on the 100-point threshold with 7 video games to go, I feel they might have been laughed out of the room. Not now, although!
Tage Thompson – 1 G (38), 1 A (40), 3 SOG, 1 H, 7-for-12 FOW, 21:31 TOI.
Jack Quinn – 1 G (18), 1 A (39), -1, 7 SOG, 3 H, 16:11 TOI. It’s secure to say that the PP1 group is clicking on all cylinders.
John Gibson – 11 saves on 14 pictures and the early hook after the primary interval. Gibson was nonetheless saddled with the loss, although.
Cam Talbot – 15 saves on 17 pictures and the no-decision.
Stuart Skinner – 22 saves on 23 pictures and the 5-1 win vs DET. This one helps a number of the groups within the Japanese convention race, nevertheless it doesn’t assist clear up any of the point-clog. Simply 10 factors separate 1st and eighth place within the East
Yegor Chinakhov – 1 G (18), 1 A (16), +2, 1 SOG, 1 H. He’s value streaming (on the very least) so long as he’s driving shotgun on that first line with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust.
Jakub Dobes – 36 saves on 37 pictures and the 4-1 win at TB. WHAT?! This man faces nearly 40 pictures in opposition to the highest workforce within the East and simply stonewalls them? Don’t look now, of us, however the Habs are for actual. I don’t understand how the primary spherical matchups are going to shake out, however the East goes to be a nasty minefield to navigate.
Cole Caufield – 1 G (47), 1 A (34), 4 SOG, 17:04 TOI. It was a ‘share the wealth’ type of evening in Tampa with Mike Matheson and Juraj Slafkovsky every tallying a aim and an help as effectively.
Andrei Vasilevskiy – 19 saves on 21 pictures and the loss vs MTL. He’s misplaced two of his final three begins, however he’s nonetheless the elite possibility that he’s all the time been.
Jake Guentzel – 1 G (36), -1, 6 PIM, 2 SOG, 2 BLK. That’s a 5-game goal-scoring streak for Guentzel!
Dan Vladar – 12 saves on 17 pictures and the 6-4 loss at WSH. Technique to go, Vladar. I used to be all prepared to make use of one other sith lord pun whenever you recorded one other win, however you didn’t maintain up your finish of the deal. Don’t fail me once more!
Travis Sanheim – 1 G (9), 1 A (24), +2, 4 SOG, 1 BLK. Streamer at greatest in these shallow leagues.
Christian Dvorak – 1 G (16), 1 A (30), 3 SOG, 1 H, 1 BLK. CTL-C, CTRL-V (above)
Logan Thompson – 20 saves on 24 pictures and the 6-4 win vs PHI. The excellent news is that’s three straight wins for Thompson. The unhealthy information is he’s given up 12 GA in these three video games. Ouch.
Tom Wilson – 2 G (27), +1, 3 SOG, 2 H. Simply 4 pts now in his final 10 GP, however we’re not rostering him only for the factors.
Alexander Ovechkin – 2 G (31), 3 SOG, GWG, 3 H, 1 BLK. 15:44 TOI. 9 factors in his final 10 video games. Critical query: When he lastly retires, the place does Ovie rank in the very best gamers of all-time? Is he 4th behind Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux? Are you placing anybody above him?
Jakob Chychrun – 1 G (24), 2 A (32), +2, 2 SOG, 1 H, 3 BLK. He’s gonna hit 60 factors for the primary time in his profession.
Pierre-Luc Dubois – 4 A (9), +1, 2 H. Right here’s hoping you began him this week in your H2H playoffs!
Brandon Bussi – 23 saves on 25 pictures and the 5-2 win at CLM. The Purple Wings AND the Blue Jackets misplaced final evening? Hmm…very fascinating! (stated each Bruin, Islander, and Penguin fan).
Nikolaj Ehlers – 1 G (24), 2 A (40), 3 SOG. Is it me, or does this man by no means get the credit score for all the time ending up with 60ish factors yearly?
Andrei Svechnikov – 1 G (27), 1 A (37), 2 PIM, 1 SOG, 2 H. Technique to take advantage of out of that one shot, Svech!
Jet Greaves – 26 saves on 30 pictures and the loss (vs CAR). Greaves misplaced the “Battle of the Infants” to fellow rookie, Bussi. As if that’s the worst information, Greaves has now received simply one among his final 5 begins. Not an excellent time to start out falling aside, Jet!
Kirill Marchenko – 1 G (26), 1 A (37), +1, 5 SOG, 18:20 TOI. A strong season with almost a point-per-game tempo from my preseason “Marmo Magic” decide.
Mason Marchment – 2 A (22), +2, 2 PIM, 3 H, 2 BLK, and a little bit little bit of all the things for these of us in leagues with these further classes.
Connor Hellebuyck – 18 saves on 21 pictures and the 4-3 OTW at CHI. I stated it final week, and it bears repeating, however the Jets have tried to show that it’s not too late to make a cost. Coming into final evening’s sport, Winnipeg had a 2% likelihood to make the playoffs. For sure, this was an enormous two factors for the Jets, who’ve now received 4 of their final 5 video games. They’re one level out of a playoff spot.
Josh Morrissey – 1 G (13), 1 A (39), +2, 1 SOG. He has a 5-game level streak.
Mark Scheifele – 3 A (58), -1, 1 SOG. 92 factors in 74 video games and the primary engine that makes the Jets fly.
Kyle Connor – 1 G (34), 1 A (51), -1, 4 SOG, GWG. Mark Schiefele received the opening faceoff in extra time, drew it again to Josh Morrissey, who then drove the web and fed Kyle “KFC” Connor within the slot for the game-winner. 33 seconds into extra time is a pleasant technique to say, “Can we simply go residence already?”
Spencer Knight – 20 saves on 24 pictures within the OTL. He’s received simply 2 of his final 10 video games. Knighty knight, Spencer.
Tyler Bertuzzi – 2 G (31), +2, 3 SOG, 4 H, 20:03 TOI. Wait. Tyler Bertuzzi performs 20:03 and scores two objectives whereas including 4 hits, and Connor Bedard skates for 19:57, and the one stat on his web page is a -2?! Oh……Kay.
Joey Daccord – 19 saves on 21 pictures and down 2-0 with 7 minutes left within the third interval. Together with final evening, Daccord has only one win in his final 7 GS. Woof.
Connor Ingram – 25 saves on 25 pictures and …uh…7 minutes left within the third with out giving up a…you-know-what. What? I’m not jinxing ANYTHING!
Kasperi Kapanen – 1 G (8), +1, 2 SOG, 2 BLK. Ah, there’s the man to fill that goal-scoring void left behind for the reason that Leon Draisaitl harm. Ugh.
That’s all for this week! I’ll be again for an additional full schedule subsequent Tuesday. I hope you loved it. If in case you have any questions or feedback, depart them under, and I’ll get again to you ASAP.
