Zach Benson - Logs helper in return Benson notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Benson returned from an upper-body injury that cost him four games. The 20-year-old winger was on the fourth line Saturday, though he saw a decent 13:39 of ice time. He was in a top-six role for much of January, but he may need to get up to speed again -- while he didn't miss many games, he was out for nearly a month due to the Olympic break. Benson has seven goals, a career-high 20 assists, 75 shots on net, 23 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Alex Tuch - Tacks on power-play tally Tuch scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Tuch has three points, including two power-play tallies, over the last two games. For the season, the veteran winger is up to 24 goals, 51 points, 146 shots on net, 62 hits, 67 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 59 appearances. Tuch's on the top line and first power-play unit, and those are spots which should allow him to rack up plenty of production across the board.

Tage Thompson - Seven-game, eight-point streak Thompson potted his 32nd goal of the season in a 6-2 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Thompson has eight points (four goals, four assists) during a seven-game point streak. The big man has 32 goals, 31 assists and 214 shots in 60 games so far this season. If he can maintain this pace, Thompson will deliver the second-best offensive season of his career. He put up 47 goals, 47 assists and 295 shots in 78 games in 2022-23.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Second win since Olympic break Luukkonen made 36 saves in a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact UPL has won two games since the break, and he's allowed just three goals in that span. His record improves to 13-7-2 with a 2.62 GAA and .908 save percentage. Alex Lyon allowed just two goals in a win over the Panthers on Friday night, so watch for the team to continue to alternate the goalies going forward. That makes Luukkonen a great daily play, but a touch of a risk in weeklies simply because of games played.

Josh Norris - Throws down two goals in win Norris scored twice in a 6-2 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact Norris put two goals up in a 2:03 span of the first period; his second stood as the game winner. The Olympic break will have helped him tremendously. Norris missed 24 games with an upper body injury earlier in the season, and he then missed three weeks prior to the break because of a rib injury. Norris has eight goals, 12 assists and 33 shots in 22 contests this season.

Zach Metsa - Goal chases Vasilevskiy from net Metsa tallied a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Metsa will remember his goal for a long time. He intercepted a clearing attempt and scored on a wrist shot from above hashmarks to push the score to 5-0 and chase Andrei Vasilevskiy from the net. He'll probably tell that story to his grandkids for years. It was Metsa's second career goal; his points double his total for this season (29 games).

Rasmus Dahlin - Rips off three-point game Dahlin had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact The points were his first since returning from the Olympics (three games). Dahlin opened the scoring with a wrist shot from the middle of the ice that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy. He sits seventh in NHL scoring from the blue line with 51 points (12 goals, 39 assists) in 56 games. He has 23 points, including eight goals, in his last 19 games. Dahlin will be a strong fatnasy performer down the stretch as you make a push for the postseason.

Gavin McCarthy - One of each for BU McCarthy scored a goal and added an assist in Boston University's 5-1 win over Boston College on Saturday.

Impact McCarthy is up to 18 points in 33 contests. That's a career high in points for the defenseman, and his plus-15 rating is also a personal best. The Sabres prospect hasn't stood out much, but scoring isn't going to be his moneymaker as a professional anyway.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen - Tending twine Saturday Luukkonen will guard the road goal versus the Lightning on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact This will be a tough matchup, as the Lightning are one of the league's top teams. Luukkonen won his first start coming out of the Olympic break, which was also his return from a lower-body injury. He stopped 27 of 28 shots in his win over the Devils on Wednesday. Luukkonen will need to stay sharp between the pipes to maintain a timeshare with Alex Lyon.
