Brandon Saad - Snags helper in winSaad garnered an assist in Sunday's 4-1 victory against the Kraken.
ImpactSaad is still stuck in a five-game goal drought dating back to April 4 versus Nashville. During that stretch, the 31-year-old winger has generated two helpers, nine shots and one block. The Pittsburgh native has just one game remaining this season and won't be setting any new career highs, though he did get back over the 40-point threshold after missing that mark last year.

Seattle takes losing streak into game against Winnipeg
The Seattle Kraken are looking to end a three-game losing streak with a win against the Winnipeg JetsAPRIL 15•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jared McCann - Opens scoring in lossMcCann opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.
ImpactIt was McCann's 29th tally of the season, putting him on the cusp of a second visit to the 30-goal plateau. With 61 points in 78 games, this is McCann's second most productive campaign in his nine-year career. While he didn't hit the heights of last season's 40-goal, 70-point breakout, the 27-year-old forward didn't disappear on fantasy managers.

Kasperi Kapanen - Scores sixth this seasonKapanen scored in the first period during Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
ImpactThe tally brings Kapanen to six goals and 22 points on the campaign. In a broader view, it remains disappointing that Kapanen never delivered on the promise he showed in flashes during his 20-goal, 40-point run in 2018-19. On the other hand, this is the fifth straight season in which he hasn't topped 11 goals, so fantasy managers weren't likely to be deeply invested in his production.

Alexey Toropchenko - Builds on career highsToropchenko assisted on a first-period goal during Sunday's 4-1 win over Seattle.
ImpactThe 24-year-old built on career-best totals with Sunday's apple. Through 81 games, Toropchenko has 14 goals and 21 points, both career highs. He's only providing secondary scoring, but his continued growth leaves something to consider as fantasy managers look for depth production next year.

Nathan Walker - Posts pair of pointsWalker had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
ImpactThe depth forward had gone 11 games without a point before his third multi-point game of the season. It brings Walker to seven goals and 12 points in 44 contests, the latter of which ties a career-high for the 30-year-old. At this point in his career, you know what you're getting with Walker. He plays around 11 minutes a game, doesn't score frequently, and has a career-high of 56 games in a season.
