Shuffled to taxi squadBean was sent to the taxi squad Sunday, CapFriendly reports.

Point streak remains intactHamilton scored a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Lightning, extending his current point streak to 14 games (2G, 14A).
ImpactHamilton has been absolutely on fire since Feb. 27 when his hot streak began. He now has 27 points in 33 games, which puts him on pace for roughly a 46-point season. To put it in perspective, that's equivalent to a career-high 67 points over a normal 82-game schedule. Keep starting Hamilton with extreme confidence, fantasy owners.

Stuffs stat sheet SaturdayStaal recorded a power-play assist, five shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.
ImpactStaal has been thriving as the Canes' No. 2 center behind Sebastian Aho this season. He now has 24 points (10G, 14A) in 31 games, which puts him on pace to crack the 40-point plateau. The last time Staal topped 40 points was the 2016-17 season, and he needed 79 games to do it. Credit his own improved play, plus a vastly improved supporting cast as the reason for Staal's increased productivity this year.

Trending towards career numbersPesce registered his third assist in his past four games Saturday against the Lightning.
ImpactPesce has been quietly building towards a record season this year. He now has 17 points in 33 games, which puts him roughly on pace for the 30-point plateau. This would be a career-high for the 26-year-old blueliner, if he can keep up his current pace.

Enjoying rare goal-scoring streakPaquette scored a goal for the second straight game in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Lightning.
ImpactNot bad for a fourth-line guy skating less than 10 minutes per game -- just don't expect the hot streak to last. Paquette now has just six points (4G, 2A) in 30 games this season.

Second straight lossVasilevskiy made 36 saves Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
ImpactThe Bolts were outplayed and Vasilevskiy was the only reason the score didn't bloat out of control. However, he has lost two straight games and he's allowed four goals in each of those two games. To put that into context, Vasilevskiy allowed four goals in three games total prior to that. He remains the best in the business, but watch for Curtis McElhinney to get a game soon, so Vasilevskiy can rest.
