  • Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: Four assists in last five games

    D'Astous had two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over Seattle on Thursday.

    D'Astous has 24 points, including 20 assists, in 59 games this season. Four of those helpers have come in the last five games. D'Astous has 84 hits, 80 PIM, 65 blocks and 64 shots overall.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Snags assist Thursday

    Van Riemsdyk posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

    Van Riemsdyk has four helpers over his last seven contests. The 34-year-old blueliner is maintaining a place in the lineup even as the Capitals carry nine defensemen, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get rotated out when the team is eliminated from playoff contention. For the season, van Riemsdyk has earned 12 points, 37 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances in a bottom-four role.

  • Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Deals assist Thursday

    Fehervary notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

    Fehervary has been limited to two assists over 16 outings since his Feb. 2 goal versus the Islanders. The 26-year-old defenseman remains a regular in the lineup even while the Capitals are carrying nine blueliners, but he's not playing because of his offense. He's at 22 points, 67 shots on net, 102 hits, 157 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 72 appearances, offering steady shutdown defense.

  • Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Registers two assists

    Chychrun notched two assists, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

    Chychrun helped out on both of Ivan Miroshnichenko's goals in this contest. It's been a bit of a tough month for Chychrun, who has five points and a minus-3 rating over 11 appearances in March as his goal scoring has dried up. The 27-year-old blueliner is at 53 points (23 goals, 30 helpers), 208 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 54 hits, 57 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 71 appearances. This has been a career year on offense for the blueliner, even with the recent slowdown.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Goal, assist in win

    Sandin scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mammoth.

    Sandin set up an Alex Ovechkin tally in the second period and then scored the eventual game-winner himself in the third. The 26-year-old Sandin has five points over his last six contests, and he's doing that without much power-play usage, which has gone to Cole Hutson in recent games. Sandin is up to five goals, 27 points, 84 shots on net, 78 hits, 114 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 66 appearances. He's an intriguing depth option for fantasy with decent category coverage.

  • Kraken's Brandon Montour: Seven points in last seven games

    Montour potted two goals and four PIM in a 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning on Thursday.

    Montour opened the scoring and then delivered the win in overtime. The defender is on a modest three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes two goals. And he has seven points, including five assists, in his last seven games. It's the fourth season in Montour's career that he's hit the 10-goal plateau. He has 31 points and 135 shots in 53 games.

    Flames' Olli Maatta: Dishes pair of helpers

    Maatta notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

    Maatta had a hand in both of the Flames' goals. He's been good with eight points over 11 outings for his new team, but this was his first multi-point effort in a Calgary sweater. The defenseman is up to one goal, eight assists, 25 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 33 contests between the Flames and the Mammoth this season. Maatta is playing heavy minutes in Calgary's top four to help shelter the team's younger blueliners.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Ducks' John Carlson: Supplies two power-play helpers

    Carlson logged two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

    Carlson has six helpers over the last four contests, with three of those assists coming on the power play. He had a hand in Mikael Granlund's last two goals of his hat trick. Carlson is fitting right in for the Ducks, giving them a reliable veteran presence on the blue line. He's now at 52 points (12 on the power play), 128 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 61 appearances between the Ducks and the Capitals.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Seven multi-point games in last 10

    Karlsson had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 shootout win over the Senators. He fired eight shots.

    Karlsson has seven multi-point games in his last 10 outings; he was held off the scoresheet in the other three outings. One of the assists Thursday came on the power play, where he has 22 power-play points. Karlsson has 12 goals, 45 assists and 160 shots in 67 games, which projects to 65 points on the season. That would be his best output since 2022-23 (101 points) and second-best to his halcyon days in Ottawa (2016-17; 71 points).

  • Sharks' John Klingberg: Sits due to injury

    Klingberg was out of the lineup Thursday versus the Blues due to a lower-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Klingberg will travel with the Sharks to Columbus ahead of Saturday's contest. The defenseman is day-to-day for now, but he has missed two of the Sharks' last four games, presumably due to this injury. Nick Leddy will be in the lineup while Klingberg is on the mend.
