Alexander Petrovic D | DAL
Stars' Alex Petrovic: Stuck outside of lineup
Petrovic was scratched for the 13th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
The Stars are carrying nine blueliners currently, and that has left Petrovic on the outside looking in since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old defenseman may get some playing time once the Stars' playoff positioning gets solidified. For the season, he's at nine points, 56 shots on net, 47 PIM, 83 hits and 77 blocked shots over 51 outings, which is his most productive season since 2017-18, when he had 13 points in 67 games for the Panthers.

Nils Lundkvist D | DAL
Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Bags assist in loss
Lundkvist logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Lundkvist hasn't been much of a factor offensively lately, earning three assists over 12 games in March. He has added a minus-1 rating, 14 shots on net and 10 blocked shots this month. Despite his lackluster production, he's been a fixture in the lineup while the Stars carry nine defensemen on the roster, including some that would be more suited to shutdown work. For the season, Lundkvist has 10 points, 43 shots on net, 41 blocks, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating across 44 contests.

Thomas Harley D | DAL
Stars' Thomas Harley: Dishes two helpers
Harley notched two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Harley has a goal and four helpers over his last eight outings, though this was his first multi-point effort since Feb. 25 versus the Kraken. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to log heavy minutes in a top-four role. He's up to 32 points, 98 shots on net, 133 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances this season.

Jonas Siegenthaler D | NJ
Devils' Jonas Siegenthaler: Rare multi-point effort
Siegenthaler logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Siegenthaler snapped an 18-game point drought with the effort, which saw him assist Jesper Bratt and Connor Brown in the first period. While Siegenthaler has been a regular presence in the Devils' lineup, it's mostly because of his defensive play. He's at nine points, 52 shots on net, 44 PIM, 83 hits and 11 blocked shots over 70 appearances. He has not reached double digits in points since he had 21 over 80 outings in 2022-23.

Jayden Struble D | MON
Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Ends slump with helper
Struble recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Struble ended a six-game point drought with the helper, though he was also scratched four times in that span. His ice time has risen in recent weeks, suggesting he is gaining some stability in the lineup over Arber Xhekaj. Struble has managed 10 helpers, 15 shots on net, 87 hits and 40 PIM through 47 outings this season, providing more toughness than scoring.

Adam Larsson D | SEA
Kraken's Adam Larsson: Earns helper in 1,000th game
Larsson notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Larsson played in his 1,000th regular-season game Tuesday, and he celebrated the occasion with a helper on Matty Beniers' third-period tally. The 33-year-old Larsson snapped an eight-game point drought with the assist. He's up to 20 points, 78 shots on net, 91 hits, 146 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 70 appearances this season. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of his five campaigns with Seattle while serving as a defensive stalwart on the top pairing.

Ryker Evans D | SEA
Kraken's Ryker Evans: Tallies in shootout loss
Evans scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Evans saw a cutback in ice time with the Kraken opting to dress seven defensemen in this contest. He was able to snap a five-game point drought with the tally. Evans' potential remains limited in a third-pairing role even though he continues to play regularly. The 24-year-old blueliner has eight goals, 15 points, 40 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 35 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 55 appearances.

Dougie Hamilton D | NJ
Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Scores, assists in win
Hamilton recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Hamilton delivered an assist on Jesper Bratt's first-period goal before closing out the scoring with an empty-netter late in the third period. Hamilton earned his first goal since March 3, when he also had two points in a win over the Panthers. He has 32 points (10 goals, 22 assists) in 65 contests this season, and if he gets hot down the stretch, he might reach the 40-point plateau for the third time in the last four regular seasons.

Jamie Drysdale D | PHI
Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Lights lamp Tuesday
Drysdale scored a goal and recorded two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Drysdale tallied his goal with less than three minutes remaining in Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old blueliner has shot the puck well over the last two months, scoring five goals on 28 shots on net over his last 16 games. Overall, he has eight goals, 28 points, 87 shots on net and 81 blocked shots through 67 appearances this season. Drysdale is just four points shy of tying his career high and should continue to see top-four minutes down the stretch.

Damon Severson D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Damon Severson: Supplies two helpers Tuesday
Severson distributed two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Severson played a hand in both of the Blue Jackets' goals in the second period, including a primary helper on Zach Werenski's goal. Overall, Severson is up to 24 assists, 31 points, 91 shots on net, 39 hits and 86 blocked shots across 70 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner has made an offensive impact in March, collecting three goals and 10 points over his last 13 games. He holds solid streaming value in deep fantasy leagues while the Blue Jackets look to secure their ticket to the postseason.
