Sanderson notched two assists and two PIM in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Ducks.

Sanderson has five helpers over four games on the Senators' road trip, which ends Wednesday in Buffalo. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to four multi-point efforts in eight games this season. He has a goal, nine assists, 14 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-pairing minutes.

Luneau notched two power-play assists in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Luneau is on a four-game point streak, earning two goals and five assists in that span. His contributions Sunday were his first on the power play this season. The defenseman is now at nine points, 15 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 14 contests.

Morrow notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

This was Morrow's season debut. The 24-year-old defenseman would require waivers to go to AHL Hartford, and the Rangers are clearly reluctant to risk losing him for nothing. Prior to this season, he earned 12 points across 45 career regular-season outings. Morrow may have a clear path to playing time if Sean Durzi (undisclosed) misses time beyond Sunday.

Bouchard scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Bouchard had been held to two assists over his previous three games, a rare relatively quiet stretch for the defenseman. He was back to getting significantly involved in this contest. Bouchard is up to eight goals, 18 helpers, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating through 15 appearances. It's fair to question if he can keep this up all year, but Bouchard is setting a pace that would put him over 120 points if he can avoid missing time. No blueliner has earned more than 110 points since Paul Coffey's 113-point campaign for the Penguins in 1988-89.

Simashev scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.

Simashev has three goals over his last four games. He remains in a third-pairing role, which will make it challenging for him to be a regular contributor on offense. The 21-year-old blueliner is at five points, 16 shots on net, 20 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 15 appearances this season. Simashev is still a player to watch in fantasy, but he doesn't need to be widely rostered yet.

Sergachev scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and went minus-3 in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.

Sergachev extended his point streak to seven games with the tally. He has three goals and five assists in that span. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 12 assists, seven power-play points, 36 shots on net, 11 hits, 20 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 15 appearances. Sergachev can offer a little of everything and should be a fixture in fantasy lineups.

York posted an assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

York recently returned from an upper-body injury that cost him eight games. He's produced a helper, a minus-1 rating, three shots on net and seven blocks over three games since he returned. The assist was his first point of the year. York saw power-play time prior to his injury, but Oliver Bonk is now on the second unit, which could lead to less scoring upside for York moving forward.

Sanheim notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Sanheim is picking up the pace with four helpers over his last four games. The 30-year-old defenseman's not going to lead the way on offense from the blue line, but he can chip in a little of everything, which makes him a good fantasy target for category coverage. He has a goal, six assists, 29 shots on net, 13 hits, 35 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 16 appearances on the year.

Drysdale posted three assists, two PIM and a plus-5 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Drysdale doubled his point total for the year with this performance. The 24-year-old defenseman has a goal, five helpers, 21 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 16 appearances. With his slow start behind him, the buy-low window on Drysdale in fantasy is closing. His spot on the Flyers' top power-play unit should be enough to win over managers in most formats.

Bonk scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Bonk has slipped to a bottom-four role since Cam York returned from an upper-body injury. The good news is that Bonk still has a power-play role, and he looks poised to stay in the lineup regularly ahead of one of Simon Benoit or David Jiricek. Bonk has earned his place with six points, 12 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 10 appearances this season. It's doubtful he'll keep up that scoring pace, but fantasy managers should at least keep an eye on the 21-year-old defenseman.
