Utah Mammoth winger Lawson Crouse made a big impact on Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings, finishing a 4-3 overtime win with two goals and an assist. The 28-year-old already had two goals midway through the first period. He completed his second three-point effort of the season with an assist on Nick Schmaltz's 25th goal of the campaign. Schmaltz then went on to win the game for Utah in overtime. Crouse is skating with Schmaltz and Clayton Keller on the first line, which has boosted his fantasy stock. He has collected five points (three goals, two assists) over the last four games. It has been a strong bounce-back season for Crouse, who finished last term with 18 points. Currently, he is sitting on 37 points (19 goals, 18 assists) across 70 games.

Nashville Predators left wing Filip Forsberg was the difference-maker in Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks, tallying two goals and an assist in a 3-2 overtime win. Forsberg scored Nashville's first and last goals and assisted Steven Stamkos in the third period. He became the sixth Swedish player in history to score 350 regular-season goals in the NHL. With 32 goals through 70 outings, Forsberg has recorded his third consecutive 30-goal campaign. He has also registered 30 assists. After a four-game slump, Forsberg has looked like a different player in recent outings, putting together a four-game scoring streak with four goals and five assists. Nashville's unlikely push into the playoff picture should give Forsberg every reason to stay locked in for the rest of the season.

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin netted his 1,000th career goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime defeat against the Colorado Avalanche. He found the back of the net late in the third period on the power play, joining Wayne Gretzky as the only players to reach 1,000 goals across the regular season and the playoffs. Ovechkin broke Gretzky's regular-season goals record last term but sits 12th all-time with 77 playoff goals, with Gretzky holding the postseason record with 122 markers. Overall, Gretzky scored 1,016 career goals. With a strong finish to the regular season and a deep playoff run, Ovechkin could catch him this year. The Capitals captain has lit the lamp 26 times this season, adding 27 assists in 71 games. However, he has struggled since the Olympic break in the middle of the season, notching only five points (four goals, one assist) in 12 outings.

Utah Mammoth defenseman Nate Schmidt left Sunday's 4-3 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings early due to illness. The veteran had 10 shifts in the first frame but only five in the second and didn't come out for the third period. Schmidt has bagged a modest 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) in 71 games, but he is tied with Colorado's Cale Makar for sixth among defensemen with a plus-32 rating. On the Utah roster, Schmidt sits third with 88 blocks and sixth with 75 hits. He will be a big miss for the Mammoth on Tuesday night against Edmonton if he can't shake off his illness.
