Players To Watch:

Tampa Bay Lightning

Jake Guentzel has four straight 30+ goal seasons. The 30-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska, is on pace for 41 goals this season that would set a career-high. Guentzel is tied with Brayden Point for the team lead in goals with 32. Guentzel has five goals and seven points in six games in March.

Philadelphia Flyers

Jamie Drysdale has goals in back-to-back games and 16 points (5g, 11a) this season, his most points since he had 32 points in the 2021-2022 in Anaheim. The sixth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft has never really lived up to the promise he showed early in his career, but the Toronto, Ontario native seems to have found a home in Philadelphia, getting some tough love from Flyers bench boss John Tortorella.
