Hronek scored a goal, added an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

Hronek has done well for himself lately with two goals and four assists over his last five outings. The defenseman helped out on the opening goal and scored the equalizer himself in this contest, helping the Canucks pull off a comeback win. The 28-year-old is up to seven tallies, 38 points, 95 shots on net, 107 hits, 87 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 65 appearances. Hronek's production rarely fluctuates much even as the team around him has risen and fallen over the last few years, making him a reliable all-around blueliner in fantasy.

Evans scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Evans snapped a six-game point drought with the tally, which came off a Colorado turnover. The 24-year-old defenseman has talent, but he's stuck in a third-pairing role with minimal power-play usage since the Kraken's defense is healthy. Evans is up to seven goals, 14 points, 36 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 27 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 49 appearances this season.

Toews logged two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Toews snapped a four-game point drought with this effort, which was his second multi-point outing of the season. The defenseman had a hand in goals by Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon in the first period. For the season, Toews remains defensively steady despite a drop in offense. He's at 17 points, 90 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 20 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-28 rating across 51 appearances.

Sergachev notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Sergachev led the Mammoth with 26:31 of ice time in his return from a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman had five points over six contests prior to the injury, and he'll look to get right back into form with new defense partner MacKenzie Weegar. Sergachev is at 10 goals, 33 helpers, 131 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 62 appearances.

Vlasic notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Vlasic has earned three helpers over six games in March. The 24-year-old defenseman has gone 16 contests without a multi-point effort, but his offense looks to be improving. He's earned 17 points, 65 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 64 appearances this season, mainly in a top-four role with minimal power-play usage.

Kaiser (upper body) left Thursday's game versus the Mammoth late in the third period, and his status for Saturday versus the Golden Knights is up in the air, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Kaiser appeared to sustain an upper-body injury. Given how late it was in the game when he left, the lack of an update comes as no surprise. If he can't play Saturday, Ethan Del Mastro will draw into the lineup.

Carlile sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Red Wings, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Carlile left the contest late in the game, so it's not surprising that head coach Jon Cooper didn't have a specific update after the contest. If Carlile misses more time beyond this, Steve Santini will likely draw back into the lineup.

Bolduc was acquired by Ottawa from Los Angeles in exchange for Jan Jenik.

Bolduc has five goals and 21 points in 56 outings with AHL Ontario in 2025-26. He's expected to report to AHL Belleville as a result of this trade.

Sergachev (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Chicago.

Sergachev missed Utah's previous four games. He has 10 goals and 42 points in 61 outings in 2025-26. Sergachev is projected to play alongside MacKenzie Weegar on Thursday.

Mitchell was traded to the Lightning from the Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne.

Mitchell, a defenseman, was traded for two forwards since Detroit's NHL injuries have depleted AHL Grand Rapids' depth. Mitchell had 20 points in 45 games with the Griffins before the trade. He will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
