Zamula logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Zamula was traded from the Flyers to the Penguins in late December but refused to report to Pittsburgh's AHL team. He was unconditionally waived and then signed with the Blue Jackets, where he's stepped into a bottom-four role right away. The helper was his first point in five games with Columbus, matching his total from 13 contests with the Flyers. He's at two assists, 11 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 18 appearances this season. Zamula will look to keep Jake Christiansen stuck in the press box moving forward.

Gudbranson notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

This was Gudbranson's second game back from a long-term hip injury. The defenseman has a helper, five shots on net, six PIM, 10 hits and three blocked shots over six appearances this season. Injuries have limited him to just 22 games since the start of 2024-25, but if he can stay healthy, he'll be a defensive stalwart in the bottom four for the remainder of the campaign.

Clifton scored a goal and added five hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Clifton has played in four straight games after getting scratched for 11 of the previous 12 contests. For now, it looks like he has a third-pairing job locked down while Erik Karlsson (lower body) is out. The goal was Clifton's first point in 19 appearances, and he's added 15 shots on net, 80 hits, 31 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating.

Kuznetsov scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Kuznetsov ended a six-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old defenseman has proven himself capable in his own zone, but there still isn't a lot of offense in his game. He's at four goals, five assists, 35 shots on net, 46 hits, 53 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 34 appearances. Kuznetsov could take on a larger role in the event Rasmus Andersson is traded, though Andersson's power-play minutes are more likely to go to Hunter Brzustewicz or Zayne Parekh in the long run.

Leddy will be placed on waivers Sunday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Leddy has accounted for four assists, six shots on net, 26 blocked shots and four hits in 19 appearances this season. If he clears waivers, he will probably report to AHL San Jose.

Carlson supplied two assists, put three shots on net and had two blocks in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Carlson played a hand in both goals scored by Jakob Chychrun in Saturday's contest. With the pair of helpers, Carlson now has 29 assists, 38 points, 96 shots on goal and 66 blocks across 45 games this season. The assistant captain has nine points over his last seven games and has remained a steady source for category-coverage stats in the process. He is on track to secure 60-plus points this season, which would mark his first time doing so since the 2021-22 regular season. Carlson should continue to provide solid fantasy production across the remainder of the regular season.

Bahl notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

The 25-year-old blueliner had a hand in the Flames' first two goals of the game, giving Bahl his first multi-point performance of the season. The former Devil doesn't offer much offense, but he's produced three goals, 10 points, 72 hits, 71 blocked shots, 40 shots on net, 33 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 47 games this season.

Chychrun scored two goals, placed three shots on net, recorded two blocks and dished out two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Florida.

Chychrun tallied two consecutive goals early in the second period to give the Capitals a 2-1 lead. His 17 goals rank second among all NHL defensemen. The 27-year-old blueliner has 35 points, 156 shots on net, 41 hits and 61 blocks through 47 games this season. He's on pace to exceed his previous highs of 47 points and 204 shots on goal in a regular season. Chychrun continues to take steps forward in his second full season with the Capitals and has become one of the most productive fantasy options on the blue line across the league.

Schaefer pocketed two assists in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

The rookie blueliner tried to spark a comeback after the Islanders fell behind 4-0, having a hand in tallies by Jean-Gabriel Pageau in the second period and Anders Lee in the third. Schaefer continues to be the frontrunner for the Calder Trophy, and through eight games in January, he has delivered four goals and seven points.

Balinskis tallied a power-play goal, put two shots on net and recorded three blocks in Saturday's 5-2 win over Washington.

Balinskis found the back of the net on a power play just over 15 minutes into the second period for a goal that would stand as Saturday's game-winner. He's up to three goals, 10 points, 35 shots on net, 48 hits and 30 blocks through 38 games this season. While his numbers are low amidst a fluctuating role this season, the 29-year-old blueliner has stepped up lately in the absence of Seth Jones (upper body). Balinskis is on a three-game point streak and has four blocks in that span. While he has the hot hand and is playing second-pairing minutes, the Latvian defenseman holds decent streaming value in deep leagues.
