Seeler scored an empty-net goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

Seeler ended a 17-game point drought with the empty-netter. That span also included two absences due to an undisclosed injury. Seeler has been a regular on the Flyers' third pairing throughout the season, but he has just nine points to go with 90 shots on net, 119 hits, 135 blocked shots and 34 PIM over 76 appearances.

Chiarot logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Chiarot ended a 22-game point drought that dated back to January when he helped out on the first of Justin Faulk's two goals Tuesday. Despite the lack of offense, Chiarot has maintained his place in the lineup as a shutdown defender on the Red Wings' second pair. His 13 points equal his total from last year, and he's added 98 shots on net, 165 hits, 158 blocked shots, 73 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 78 appearances this season.

Zadorov notched two assists, four hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Zadorov ended his six-game point drought with this effort. The 30-year-old has been a physical force on the blue line this year, but he's also chipped in enough offense to warrant consideration in fantasy. He's at 22 points, 104 shots on net, 193 hits, 150 PIM, 101 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 78 appearances. That matches his point total from last year, and he would set a new career high if he can make one more scoring contribution over the Bruins' final three regular-season games.

McAvoy notched two assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

McAvoy had gone three games without a point to start April. He helped out on the Bruins' last two tallies in this contest. McAvoy reached the 60-point mark for the first time in his career, doing so with 11 goals and a career-high 49 helpers over 67 appearances. He's added 111 shots on net, 122 blocked shots, 79 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-13 rating to be one of the most well-rounded blueliners in fantasy hockey.

Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Lindholm ended a 24-game goal drought with the first-period tally. He had seven assists, 31 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating during that span. For the season, the veteran defenseman is at five goals, 25 points, 99 shots on net, 102 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 65 appearances in a top-four role, a strong bounce-back campaign after losing most of 2024-25 due to a knee injury.

Walker logged two assists, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Walker has four helpers over his last three outings. The 31-year-old defenseman is playing a solid all-around role for the Hurricanes and could see an uptick in playing time if the team is cautious with the return of Jalen Chatfield (lower body), who exited Tuesday's game. Walker is at 28 points, one shy of his career high, while adding 173 shots on net, 137 hits, 122 blocked shots and 57 PIM across 78 appearances this season.

Miller scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Miller is off to a good start in April with a goal and three assists over his last four games. The defenseman is up to seven goals, 36 points, 119 shots on net, 98 hits, 77 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 70 appearances. He's all but certain to fall short of his career-best 43-point in the 2022-23 regular season with the Rangers, but Miller remains a solid contributor in most categories while seeing top-four minutes for the Hurricanes.

Slavin scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Slavin's first goal of the year couldn't come at a better time -- he scored 1:13 into overtime to seal the win that clinched the Metropolitan Division for the Hurricanes. He has three points over his last five games, though he's been limited to seven points, 62 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 38 appearances this season due to injuries that cost him most of the first half. Slavin has been logging his usual top-four minutes since late January and will be a defensive pillar heading into the playoffs.

DeAngelo (lower body) might be available for Thursday's game against Toronto, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

DeAngelo took part in Wednesday's practice as part of the second pairing alongside Adam Pelech. DeAngelo has five goals and 33 points in 72 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't been in the lineup since March 24 due to the injury.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is set to play Wednesday versus Washington, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Ekman-Larsson missed Saturday's game against Los Angeles because of the injury. He has eight goals and 38 points in 73 appearances in 2025-26. Troy Stecher is projected to be a healthy scratch to accommodate Ekman-Larsson's return.
