Harley scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Harley has three goals and an assist over his last four games. His latest tally was a game-winner, as the defenseman scored 2:05 into overtime to help the Stars fend off the Jets. For the season, Harley has five goals, 22 points, 72 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances. He's had a tough year, but he's carrying some momentum into the Olympics, where he'll suit up for Team Canada.

Parayko scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.

Parayko gave the Blues a 5-1 lead at 3:55 of the second period, but that wasn't enough. This was his first goal of the season, as the 32-year-old defenseman has been hit hard by regression after his career-best 16-goal, 36-point campaign in the 2024-25 regular season. He's at 13 points, 71 shots on net, 63 hits, 138 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 56 outings in 2025-26, though his defensive skills have kept him firmly in a top-four role.

Barron logged an assist in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

This was Barron's first point in 12 games since he returned from a lower-body injury. In that span, he's been scratched seven times, but he looks to have a steady place in the lineup currently due to the absence of Nicolas Hague (lower body). Barron has managed just five helpers with 19 shots on net, 18 hits and 32 blocked shots over 31 appearances in a third-pairing role this season.

Murphy scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

The veteran blueliner potted Chicago's second goal of the night before helping to set up Ryan Donato for the game's final tally. It was a rare offensive outburst for Murphy, who has four goals and 12 points through 56 games with 82 blocked shots, 53 hits, 51 shots on net, 46 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

Englund was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Englund played in three of Nashville's last four games. During that span, he posted two shots on goal, four hits and one blocked shot while failing to earn a point. He has earned two goals, four assists and 44 PIM in 34 AHL appearances this season.

Heiskanen pocketed two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

The 26-year-old blueliner had a hand in the Stars' final two tallies, including Thomas Harley's OT winner. Heiskanen has gone 22 straight games without finding the back of the net himself, but he's been plenty productive of late, collecting eight assists over the last seven contests.

Josi collected four assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blues.

The Predators were facing a 5-1 deficit early in the second period, but Josi helped spark a comeback with his season-high four assists. The veteran blueliner has delivered six multi-point performances in the last 11 games, a scoring surge in which he's piled up five goals and 19 points, including two goals and seven assists with the man advantage.

Broberg scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Predators.

It was the first multi-point performance for Broberg since Dec. 11, when he picked up two assists -- a game that also took place in Nashville. The 24-year-old blueliner has contributed three goals, 18 points, 78 blocked shots and 71 shots on net through 55 games this season.

Fabbro (lower body) will be a game-time decision against the Devils on Tuesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Fabbro is nearing a return to the lineup after missing the last six games due to his lower-body injury. Presumably, if the blueliner isn't quite ready to play Tuesday, he'll be in the mix to return versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday. With just seven points in 48 games this year, Fabbro may miss the 20-point threshold.

Hughes distributed three assists and fired six shots on net in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Hughes delivered a helper on each of Minnesota's final three goals Monday, including the primary pass on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winning goal late into the extra period. With the trio of apples, Hughes eclipsed the 50-assist mark on the year, which ranks sixth in the NHL and leads all defensemen. Not only is the 26-year-old blueliner trending toward his fifth consecutive campaign with 60-plus assists, but he also has a chance to reach 70 helpers for just the second time in his career. The only other time Hughes reached that mark was during his 92-point campaign during the 2023-24 season, which resulted in his first Norris Trophy. While his current goal total of five is well behind the 17 he posted in 82 regular-season games that year and trails Norris Trophy candidate Zach Werenski by 14 tallies, Hughes is heating up with 14 points on his nine-game point streak, which should bolster his already strong case for the top-defenseman award.
