McNabb scored a goal on two shots, recorded two blocked shots and dished out three hits in Sunday's 3-2 win over Dallas.

McNabb put the Golden Knights on the board just 4:01 into regulation. While the 35-year-old blueliner isn't known as a goal scorer, he has two tallies over his last six games and sits just one goal shy of tying his career high of five goals. Overall, he has eight points, 65 shots on net, 97 hits and 123 blocked shots across 52 contests this season. While his offensive numbers don't jump off the page, McNabb remains a strong option in category-based leagues and banger formats with his elite 2.37 blocks per game, which ranks third in the NHL.

Gudas is eligible to play in Tuesday's matchup against Vancouver after serving his five-game suspension.

Gudas received the ban for kneeing Toronto's Auston Matthews, who sustained a season-ending knee injury and a quadriceps contusion, in a 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs on March 12. The 35-year-old Gudas has two goals, 13 points, 60 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 156 hits and 45 PIM across 52 appearances this season.

McDonagh scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

McDonagh opened the scoring 7:25 into the game. He's earned three points over 11 outings in March. McDonagh isn't adding much offense, but he remains a reliable shutdown blueliner. He has six goals, eight assists, 32 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 36 appearances this season.

Raddysh scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Raddysh had three points over four contests during the Lightning's road trip out west. The defenseman is up to 19 goals, 61 points, 175 shots on net, 61 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating over 62 appearances this season. Raddysh continues to impress in a top-pairing role and has become the team's most reliable blueliner on offense after a down year for Victor Hedman (illness).

Whitecloud notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Whitecloud earned his first point in five outings since he returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points, 58 shots on net, 108 hits, 105 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 66 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. Whitecloud is currently in a top-four role with the Flames, though he functions as a shutdown defenseman rather than a scorer.

Dahlin earned two assists and fired four shots on goal in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Dahlin has five points and a plus-5 rating over his last three games. The defenseman set up third-period tallies by Jack Quinn and Zach Benson. Dahlin is up to 65 points (15 goals, 50 assists) with 171 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 64 PIM, 61 hits and a plus-14 rating over 67 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Power scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Power snapped a three-game slump with this effort. He set up Alex Tuch's opening goal in the first period and scored to tie the game at 4-4 midway through the third. The 23-year-old Power has contributed decent offense in a top-four role this season, though he isn't currently in the power-play mix. The blueliner has a career-high eight goals but has added just 18 helpers with 105 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 70 appearances.

Schmidt didn't finish Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings because of an illness, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Schmidt did not play in the final frame of Sunday's win after logging one shot and one hit in 12:26 of ice time across the first two periods. The 34-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home matchup versus Edmonton.

LaCombe scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.

LaCombe scored in the first period and set up Beckett Sennecke in the second. With three goals and seven assists over 12 outings in March, LaCombe is providing steady offense from the blue line as usual. He's earned nine goals, 49 points (15 on the power play), 133 shots on net, 117 blocked shots, 62 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 70 contests this season. His goal scoring is down from last year, but the 25-year-old has made modest improvements in nearly every other area to lead the Ducks' blue line.

Bear scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Bridgeport's 6-3 win over Hershey on Sunday.

Bear hadn't scored a goal since Jan. 31. The defenseman had seven assists over 19 outings in that span. For the season, he's put together a middling campaign with 19 points across 29 appearances with Bridgeport after losing the first half of the season to an undisclosed injury.
