Rossi logged two assists, including one on the power play, and two hits in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Avalanche.

Rossi ended a four-game slump with the performance. The 24-year-old center helped out on a Jake DeBrusk tally in the first period and also contributed on the first of Brock Boeser's three goals in the game. Rossi is up to 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists), 54 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-18 rating over 52 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild this season. He's looked pretty good with four multi-point efforts over his last 10 contests, though playing for Vancouver this year leads to some inherent inconsistency for just about any skater.

Sasson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Avalanche.

Sasson opened the scoring just 29 seconds into the game, setting the tone for what ended up being one of the most surprising contests of the season. He also set up a Teddy Blueger tally in the second period. Sasson had been scratched for the previous two contests, slipping into a part-time role due to his seven-game slump. He's now at 12 goals, 17 points, 58 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 27 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Blueger scored two goals in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Avalanche.

Blueger had gone minus-10 while failing to record a point over the previous 10 contests. The 31-year-old has maintained his place in the Canucks' lineup as a defensive center, but his lack of offense makes him a relative non-factor in fantasy. For the season, Blueger has eight goals, 13 points, 42 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-9 rating across 27 appearances.

Guttman scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 7-0 win over Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

With the performance, Guttman has a career-best 24 goals over 62 outings in the AHL this year. He's up to 49 points and 142 shots on net. Prior to Wednesday, he had picked up just one goal and one assist over eight contests.

Ivan scored twice and added an assist in AHL Colorado's 5-2 win over Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Ivan is up to nine goals and 23 points through 59 appearances. He's earned four points over his last two outings. As long as the Avalanche stay relatively healthy late in the season, Ivan is likely to stay in the AHL to close out 2025-26.

Mueller was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

Mueller has 16 goals and 19 assists over 59 appearances for the minor-league club in his second AHL campaign. He will join the NHL roster because Evander Kane (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game against the Avalanche. It's unclear if Mueller will be in the lineup for the contest, but he could get a look over the last couple of weeks of the regular season.

Helenius (undisclosed) is still considered day-to-day and won't be in the lineup versus the Blues on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, Helenius could be questionable, at best, to play in Thursday's clash with the Predators. The 23-year-old center hasn't scored a goal in 12 straight games while registering 11 shots, two assists and 40 hits.

Dellandrea (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Ducks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Dellandrea has been sidelined for the last 30 games due to his lower-body injury. Even with his activation, whether the forward gets into the lineup versus Anaheim will depend on the availability of Igor Chernyshov (illness), who is a game-time decision.

Frederic (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against Chicago, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Frederic missed five straight games due to the injury. He has four goals, six points, 58 PIM and 170 hits in 67 outings with Edmonton in 2026-27. Josh Samanski is likely to be a healthy scratch Thursday due to Frederic's return.

Ritchie scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Ritchie's point streak is up to five games (three goals, three assists). He closed out March with 11 points in 16 contests for his most productive month of the campaign. That has him up to 12 goals, 27 points (10 on the power play), 68 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 59 appearances this season.
