New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes extended his point streak by scoring a goal and adding two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 road victory against the Rangers. Hughes followed up his three-point performance in the Devils' most recent game against the Bruins with another one on Wednesday, and he has now scored six goals and totaled 15 points through eight games in March. The 24-year-old is producing points at an elite rate on the offensive end at the perfect time for fantasy managers, as the fantasy hockey playoffs are underway in the majority of leagues.

Carolina Hurricanes right winger Jackson Blake scored a goal and assisted twice in a wild 6-5 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. He reached the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career, and he also has a career high in points with 43 with a few weeks to go in the NHL season. Blake is a solid middle-six forward for a Hurricanes team that currently has the most points in the Eastern Conference.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Adrian Kempe (lower body) could be an option for Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. The Kings' leading scorer remains day-to-day, but interim head coach D.J. Smith is hopeful that Kempe can play on Thursday night. He was a late scratch on Monday against the New York Rangers. If Kempe can't make it back on Thursday, he looks almost certain to return for this weekend's back-to-back. Mathieu Joseph filled in for Kempe on the top line against the Rangers and will be bumped down in the lineup when the Swedish winger returns.

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish will remain out of the lineup as a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. After recovering from an upper-body injury, Troy Terry replaced McTavish in the lineup on Sunday against Montreal. Anaheim is expected to roll out with the same forward group on Wednesday night. Before departing the lineup, McTavish went scoreless in five consecutive games. He has struggled to stay effective during the second half of the season, recording zero goals and two assists in his last 12 appearances. Overall, McTavish has managed 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists) in 61 games this term.
