Middleton logged an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

The four shots on goal led all Wild players. Middleton has a helper in each of the last two games and continues to offer well-rounded non-scoring production while seeing top-four minutes. For the season, the 28-year-old blueliner has 11 points, 31 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 26 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 19 appearances.

Brodin logged an assist and five blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Brodin has a goal and an assist over two games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old defenseman is up to eight points, 31 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 17 appearances this season. While he plays more of a shutdown role for the Wild, he's topped 20 points in four of the previous five campaigns, a level of offense that is sufficient to help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Trouba logged an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Trouba has slowed down dramatically after opening the season with four helpers over three contests. His assist Thursday ended a six-game slump. The 30-year-old is at six helpers, 38 shots on net, 27 hits, 54 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances. A shuffle on the Rangers' blue line has seen Trouba playing alongside Ryan Lindgren, forming a tough-as-nails shutdown pairing.

Lindgren recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Lindgren ended his nine-game drought by helping out on an Alexis Lafreniere goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Lindgren has been playing on a shutdown pairing with Jacob Trouba instead of in his usual spot alongside Adam Fox. Lindgren is now at two points, 11 shots on net, 21 hits, 25 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season. He's never produced a 20-point campaign, so the bulk of his limited fantasy value comes from physical play.

Miller produced an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller has a helper in each of the last two contests. He helped out on Will Cuylle's game-tying goal at 16:53 of the second period. Miller has been limited to four points over 18 outings, but he's added a respectable 27 shots on net, 33 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He continues to see a top-four role and has frequently played alongside Adam Fox in recent games.

Fox notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

Fox has earned eight helpers over his last eight contests. The 26-year-old had some struggles with consistency earlier in the campaign, but he's in his usual form now. Overall, he has 16 assists, 24 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 18 games. He's still looking for a goal, but he's been able to hover just below a point-per-game pace through nearly a quarter of the campaign, which is valuable in all fantasy formats.

Weegar logged three assists, seven shots on goal, four hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

One of the helpers came on the power play. Weegar has racked up six assists, including two on the power play, over his last seven contests. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to be a strong source of category coverage in fantasy with three goals, eight assists, 56 shots on net, 51 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 20 appearances. He'll likely fall short of last year's 20-goal, 52-point season, but a 40-point campaign is very much within reason.

Forsling provided an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

Forsling has three helpers and a plus-3 rating over his last two contests, which has helped him to shake off a five-game dry spell. The 28-year-old blueliner remains in a prominent even-strength role for the Panthers, though he has seen minimal power-play time. Forsling is up to 11 points, 37 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 15 hits, eight PIM and a plus-13 rating over 20 appearances. His current scoring pace would earn him his second 40-point campaign in three years if he can sustain it the rest of the way.

Ekblad recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

Ekblad set up a Sam Reinhart goal midway through the second period. This was Ekblad's second helper in the last three contests, and he's also been over 25 minutes of ice time in two straight games. The defenseman is up to eight assists, 26 shots on net, 30 hits, 27 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances.

Vlasic notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Vlasic snapped his six-game dry spell when he helped out on Teuvo Teravainen's first-period tally. The 23-year-old Vlasic has taken on a larger role since Seth Jones (foot) exited the lineup following last Thursday's game in Seattle. Vlasic is on the top power-play unit and also features on the first pairing, giving him more ice time with the Blackhawks' best players. The defenseman has eight helpers (four on the power play), 21 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. He's halfway to matching his point total from last season, and he's worth considering in deeper fantasy formats.
