Kaiden Guhle D | MON
Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Rare burst of offense in win
Guhle scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists, went plus-3, added 14 PIM, doled out two hits and blocked four shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Islanders.
Guhle was all over this game, and it was his goal that stood as the game-winner. He had earned just five assists over 23 outings since returning from a groin injury in early January. The 24-year-old defenseman is better known for his physical play, but he can chip in offense as well. He's at two goals, 10 points, 31 shots on net, 60 hits, 47 blocked shots, 31 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 29 appearances this season.

Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Another three-assist effort
Werenski had three assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Werenski was coming off a three-assist performance in the 6-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday, and he delivered the same output in this win over Seattle. The 28-year-old blueliner has 12 assists across 10 games since returning from the Olympics and continues to be one of the most prolific offensive defensemen in the NHL. Werenski has 75 points (20 goals, 55 assists) in 61 games, and he ranks second in total points among defensemen, trailing only Evan Bouchard's total of 78.

Mammoth's Max Psenicka: Two points in Portland's loss
Psenicka scored a goal and added an assist in WHL Portland's 5-4 overtime loss to Seattle on Saturday.
Psenicka reached the 30-point mark for the year with this performance. He's added 67 PIM, 114 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 53 appearances. Psenicka has four points over his last two games to bring some momentum late in the campaign.

Filip Hronek D | VAN
Canucks' Filip Hronek: Pots goal Saturday
Hronek scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.
Hronek pulled one back for the Canucks at the 8:32 mark of the third period, but in the end, his eighth goal of the season wasn't enough to mount a comeback. Hronek has three goals and seven total points over his last nine outings, so he remains a valuable fantasy commodity from his blue-line role. Over 69 games this season, Hronek has eight goals and 39 total points.

Kevin Gravel D | NSH
Predators' Kevin Gravel: Three points for Admirals in win
Gravel scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 5-2 win over Grand Rapids on Saturday.
Gravel has done little this season on offense, earning 10 points and a minus-9 rating over 58 appearances. The 34-year-old defenseman has filled an organizational depth role for Nashville. Given his limited scoring potential, it's unclear if he'll get another look in the NHL -- he will be a free agent this offseason.

Jordan Oesterle D | NSH
Predators' Jordan Oesterle: Buries two goals Saturday
Oesterle scored two goals in AHL Milwaukee's 5-2 win over Grand Rapids on Saturday.
Oesterle has 10 goals on the season, including five over his last five games. For the season, Oesterle is up to 37 points, 117 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 59 appearances. The veteran defenseman hasn't gotten a call-up this season, as the Predators have leaned on their prospects to get looks late in the campaign.

Kleven picked up two assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
He also delivered two hits and blocked one shot in 18:13 of ice time. Kleven has three assists in his last two games and four points (one goal, three helpers) in his last four outings. The native of Fargo, North Dakota has three goals, 13 assists, 116 hits, 90 blocks and 51 PIM in 64 games.

Brandon Carlo D | TOR
Maple Leafs' Brandon Carlo: Still looking for first goal
Carlo picked up an assist Saturday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
Carlo is still looking for his first goal this season. He has seven assists and 87 blocks in 48 games this season. Carlo is a quiet contributor on the ice; his game doesn't translate into fantasy value.

Travis Sanheim D | PHI
Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Three-game point streak
Sanheim scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over San Jose.
Sanheim has quietly earned a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist), and he has reached the scoresheet in five of his last six contests (two goals, three assists). Sanheim's 31 points (eight goals, 23 assists) this season equal his third-best NHL campaign (2021-22). His 129 blocks add to his fantasy value.
