Are the Hurricanes off the schneid? Breaking down the Canes' overtime win over the Flames With the NHL’s Eastern Conference tightening up, the Hurricanes went into Sunday’s game just six points ahead of the Detroit Red Wings, who...
Moritz Seider - Nabs helper Saturday Seider registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Seider has a goal and four assists over nine contests since the start of February. The 23-year-old defenseman continues to play massive minutes in all situations for the Red Wings, and even when his offense falters, he offers steady physical play. For the season, the blueliner has five goals, 36 points, 119 shots on net, 162 hits, 135 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 60 appearances. He's on pace to do better than the back-to-back 42-point campaigns he's put together, but Seider would need to pick up the pace to match his 50-point rookie season.

Zach Aston-Reese - Puts up assist Aston-Reese notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Impact Aston-Reese has three helpers over his last five games, which is great compared to the 22-game point drought that preceded this stretch. The 30-year-old forward is three points shy of the career-best 17 he had in 2018-19 with the Penguins. He's earned four goals, 10 assists, 75 shots on net, 137 hits and 42 blocked shots while filling a bottom-six role over 59 appearances in 2024-25.

Denton Mateychuk - Finds twine in win Mateychuk scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Impact Mateychuk's third NHL goal will be a memorable one, as he opened the scoring at 5:31 of the second period outdoors at Ohio Stadium. The 20-year-old blueliner is up to five points, 23 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 23 appearances. Mateychuk has handled a top-four role lately, and with two goals over four contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, he appears to be settling in at the NHL level.

Mathieu Olivier - Tallies again Saturday Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Impact Olivier has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The 28-year-old, a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, is reportedly in negotiations to stay with the Blue Jackets, though if those talks sour, he could be a trade candidate. The physical winger is at 12 goals, nine assists, 76 shots on net, 228 hits, 99 PIM and 66 blocked shots over 60 appearances, making this a career year nearly across the board for him.

Dmitri Voronkov - Scores in outdoor win Voronkov scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Impact Voronkov restored a lead for the Blue Jackets with a goal late in the second period. The 24-year-old forward hadn't scored over the previous six games, though he had four assists in that span. He reached the 20-goal and 40-point milestones in Saturday's outdoor game, and he's added 111 shots on net, 42 hits, 35 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 51 outings this season. Voronkov has the two-way skills to handle top-six minutes as he has for much of the campaign, and it's encouraging to see his offense grow in his second NHL season.

Adam Fantilli - Puts away empty-netter Fantilli scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Impact Fantilli's point streak is up to five games (three goals, three assists) following his late tally to secure the win in front of the NHL's second-largest crowd of all time (94,751). The 20-year-old center continues to fill in admirably on the top line in place of Sean Monahan (wrist). Fantilli is up to 37 points across 60 outings, and he's earned 22 of those points across 22 appearances since the start of January as he takes a big step forward in his second season.
