Blackwell scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

Blackwell returned to the lineup to fill in for Mavrik Bourque (face). The 31-year-old Blackwell was scratched Sunday against the Blue Jackets, his first time in the press box since November. The forward could face additional pressure for playing time after the Stars' trade over the weekend that brought in Mikael Granlund from the Sharks to supplement the forward group. Blackwell has mostly functioned as a fourth-liner this season, earning 12 points, 52 shots on net, 70 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 47 appearances.

Fabbri logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.

Fabbri has two goals and three assists over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old winger set up a Cutter Gauthier tally in the first period of this contest. Fabbri's production is mostly in line with his bottom-six usage -- he has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 50 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 40 appearances. He chips in a little of everything but likely not at a level acceptable for most fantasy managers.

Zegras scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.

Colin Blackwell tied the game at 1-1 early in the third period, but Zegras won it for the Ducks with a goal just a couple of minutes later. The 23-year-old forward continues to get comfortable in a top-six role since returning from a knee injury. Zegras has two goals and five points over his last seven outings, and he's at a total of six goals and 15 points through 31 appearances, exactly matching his production from last season. Zegras has added 61 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-8 rating in 2024-25, but he's also been able to cut down on penalties, adding just 12 PIM.

Huberdeau put up two helpers Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to Toronto.

Huberdeau has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games. He put up an impressive 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) in 13 games from the end of November, but he has just four goals and six assists in the next 16. Those are decent numbers, but Huberdeau clearly has the ability to be more, both for the Flames and his managers.

McCann notched an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

McCann set up the second of Shane Wright's two goals in the contest. This was McCann's fourth straight game with a helper, two of which have come on the power play. The 28-year-old forward is up to a team-leading 42 points (14 goals, 28 assists) while adding 124 shots on net, 28 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 55 appearances.

Stephenson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Stephenson reached the 10-goal mark Tuesday, with seven of those tallies coming over 17 contests since the start of January. He's added nine assists in that span while emerging as one of the Kraken's most consistent forwards. The 30-year-old center has 39 points, 55 shots on net, 18 PIM, 24 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 54 outings.

Beniers scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Beniers has earned five goals and eight points over his last 12 outings. While that's not outstanding production, it's a level of consistency that has often evaded the 22-year-old over the last couple of years. The center is now at 12 goals, 30 points, 97 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 55 appearances in a top-line role.

Kadri put up two helpers Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to Toronto.

He wired six shots Tuesday, too. Kadri is on a three-game, four-point streak that includes three assists and 13 shots. Overall, he has 38 points (18 goals, 20 assists) in 53 games, and by season's end, he'll be within a few games of the vaunted 1,000-game mark. That will be a massive milestone for the talented pivot. Kadri is already the first Muslim player to win a Stanley Cup, and he'll be the first to hit the 1,000-game milestone, too.

Wright scored twice and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Wright had the only multi-point effort for any player in this game. He's scored three times and added four assists during his six-game point streak. Wright is up to 11 goals, 29 points, 52 shots on net, 41 hits, 38 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 52 appearances. While his offense is hot, he's worth considering in redraft formats despite his third-line assignment.

Veleno logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

Veleno ended a 12-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old was previously credited with an assist Jan. 14 versus the Sharks, but it was taken away on a scoring change after that contest. The 25-year-old forward remains firmly in a fourth-line role for the Red Wings. That has kept his offense down -- he has just 10 points with 43 shots on net, 71 hits and a minus-10 rating through 49 appearances.
