This milestone came during a week of high performance, where he scored five goals in four games as the Washington Capitals maintained their position at the top of the Eastern Conference. With 42 goals for the season, he remains a formidable fantasy player, despite missing a portion of the season due to injury.

Nick Suzuki also shined, contributing significantly to the Montreal Canadiens' five-game winning streak. With seven points this week, including two pivotal game-winners, Suzuki's performance solidified his status as a top fantasy asset, ranking among the league leaders in key statistical categories.

In a thrilling encounter at the Bell Centre, the Montreal Canadiens extinguished the Philadelphia Flyers' aspirations for a playoff run with a hard-fought 3-2 victory. The Flyers surged to an early lead, but the Canadiens capitalized on the electric atmosphere, turning the tide with their tenacity and home advantage.
