Philip Tomasino - Scoring run continuesTomasino scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
ImpactDon't look now, but the 21-year-old Mississauga native now has a very respectable 17 points (5G, 12A) in 24 games since being recalled from AHL Milwaukee in February. Given the number of injuries to the Preds' regular top-six players (e.g., Filip Forsberg, Matt Duchene, Ryan Johansen), Tomasino has been promoted to a scoring-line role. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 16:43 in ice time (including 2:41 on the power play), making him a very attractive late-season pickup in most standard fantasy formats.

Yakov Trenin - Scores goal in Saturday routTrenin scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.
ImpactNow with 11 goals and 11 assists in 70 games, Trenin is on pace to finish with something resembling his career-high, 24-point effort from last season. Not bad for a bottom-six forward. However, Trenin would need to receive a promotion to more of a scoring role in order to have any significant fantasy value in most formats.

Matthew Kessel - Up with BluesKessel was recalled from AHL Springfield on Sunday under emergency conditions.
ImpactKessel's promotion to the NHL comes after Marco Scandella left Saturday's 6-1 loss to Nashville with a lower-body injury. If Scandella is unavailable to play Sunday versus Boston, Robert Bortuzzo will likely replace him in the lineup.
