Josi logged two assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Josi has racked up three goals and seven helpers over his last four outings. He has four straight multi-point efforts while helping the Predators get back to being competitive in the Western Conference. Josi is at 28 points, 93 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 36 appearances this season.

Ekman-Larsson had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Jets on Saturday.

Ekman-Larsson has six points, including five helpers, in his last four games. Before that, he had three points (one goal, two assists) in a 12-game span. Ekman-Larsson's offensive surge has given him a two-point advantage over Morgan Rielly for Toronto's scoring lead among blueliners. Ekman-Larsson has eight goals, 31 points, 69 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 62 hits through 48 outings this season.

Theodore scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Predators.

Theodore continues to impress, earning three goals and two assists over five games since his return from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old defenseman has seven goals, 25 points, a plus-15 rating, 85 shots on net and 54 blocked shots through 36 outings overall. Theodore is the Golden Knights' top blueliner, and he's producing offense at a high pace once again, so he's a lock to be in most fantasy lineups.

Walman notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

The helper was Walman's first point in three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him 23 games. The 29-year-old was eased in for the first two games, but he saw 21:29 of ice time Saturday. He's likely to fill a bottom-four role but could still be a factor on the power play. For the season, he's at 11 points, 31 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 20 appearances.

Kaiser scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Kaiser has picked up a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 23-year-old defenseman has five goals this season, all scored since the start of December, as he flexes a little more scoring potential than initially expected. Through 48 contests, he's at 11 points, 49 shots on net, 30 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Kaiser has emerged as a steady top-four blueliner.

Schmidt had two goals, including the game-winner, and two assists in a 6-3 win over Seattle on Saturday.

Schmidt's four points matched his single-game NHL-career high of four assists against the Flames on Nov. 17, 2019. His first helper in Saturday's win was also the 200th of his career, joining Torey Krug (394) and Neal Pionk (218) as the third active undrafted defenseman to reach the milestone, according to Matt Komma of NHL.com. Schmidt has four goals and 18 points through 49 appearances this season.

Lindholm logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Lindholm saw 20:03 of ice time in his return from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old looks good to go for top-four minutes once again, though he's become a substantial injury risk whose scoring hasn't made up for it. He's at 15 points, 60 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 35 outings this season. He's earned four of those points over his last three games.

McAvoy scored a goal and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

McAvoy got the Bruins on the board at 1:55 of the second period, the first of three tallies for his team that stanza. The defenseman has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of his last nine games, totaling two goals and eight assists in that span. For the season, he's up to three goals, 29 points, 54 shots on net, 47 hits, 71 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 37 outings.

Lohrei scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Lohrei earned his first multi-point effort since Dec. 4 versus the Blues. The defenseman has four goals and two assists over eight outings in January for his best month since October. Overall, the defenseman has six goals, 21 points, 45 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-6 rating over 44 appearances this season.

Mrtka registered three assists in WHL Seattle's 5-3 win over Portland on Saturday.

Mrtka picked up his first points in two games since returning from the World Junior Championship. He was held without a point in five tournament games for Slovakia. In the WHL, he's up to a goal and 18 helpers over 16 appearances. The Sabres prospect got a taste of AHL action this year, but the 18-year-old could return to the junior ranks in 2026-27 as well.
