Finds twine Thursday Martinook scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Martinook has scored in consecutive contests, and he's tallied five of his 12 goals since March 6. The third-line winger remains a reliable depth forward for the Hurricanes, though he could still fall short of the 30-point mark this year. He's at 26 points, 105 shots on net, 111 hits, 46 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 72 appearances.

Tallies on power play again Svechnikov scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Svechnikov's goal streak is up to three games, and all four points during that run have come on the power play. The 26-year-old winger has had an excellent campaign with 28 goals, 65 points (28 on the power play), 187 shots on net, 136 hits, 60 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 75 appearances. He's locked into a top-line job and has a chance to earn his first 70-point campaign.

First shortie in franchise history Nikishin scored a shorthanded goal Thursday in a 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Nikishin's shorthanded goal was the first by a rookie defenseman in franchise history, including the Hartford Whalers period. He sits 13th in rookie scoring overall this season (11 goals, 19 assists). Nikishin has returned the top power-play role to Shayne Gostisbehere, but it's clear he has the ability to play maestro with the man advantage. His future as a true number one will arrive very soon.

Closing in on 1,000 games played Hall delivered two assists in a 5-1 win over Columbus on Thursday.

Impact Hall has four assists in his last four games and 10 (one goal, nine assists) in his last 16 games. His 42 points (75 games) equal his output between Chicago and Carolina last season (77 games). Hall's fantasy value is limited to deep, large leagues given his sluggish production. But the 34-year-old is just 16 games from the 1,000 game milestone, and that's worth lauding.

Four-game assist streak Aho had two assists Thursday in a 5-1 win over Columbus.

Impact The first helper came shorthanded. The second was on the power play. The second was Aho's 400th NHL assist. He is on a four-game, five-assist streak (eight shots), and his 77 points (25 goals, 52 assists) in 75 games put him on course for his fourth 80-plus point season.

First win in last three starts Andersen made nine saves in a 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Impact Yes, you read that right -- nine shots. The only goal that Andersen conceded came off a rebound in a goal-mouth scramble in the second period. He has been alternating starts with Brandon Bussi, but he had lost his previous two starts, both of which came against Montreal. The Canes' tight system doesn't allow many shots. That's great for the goalies, but puts pressure on fantasy managers who count anything other than wins. Andersen has a 3.09 GAA and .871 save percentage in 32 starts (14-13-5). Those stats are well below this season's averages of 2.87 and .896.

Tickles twine twice Stankoven scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Columbus.

Impact Stankoven scored both in a 6:25 span in the first period to put the game out of reach for the Blue Jackets. He has three goals in his last two games (six shots) and 17 on the season (36 points; 75 games). Stankoven's game is growing slowly. He has 11 points, including seven goals, in his last 24 games. That's a pretty consistent pace for the second-line center, who is in his fourth season. Stankoven's fantasy value has yet to materialize, but we do like the incremental improvement in his two-way game. He's plus-12 this season after struggling with a minus-3 rating in 19 games after his trade from Dallas last year.
