Girgensons notched two assists, three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

In recent games, Girgensons has held down a top-line role at even strength. It's paying off -- he has six points over nine outings in March, accounting for half of his offense through 51 contests overall.

The 30-year-old Latvian will slot into a fourth-line role due to Jack Quinn (lower body) facing an extended stint on the shelf.
