Werenski scored a goal and took six shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Werenski suffered an injury in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals but didn't miss time, and he looked as good as he's been all season long. The star blueliner has been on a tear of late, and that game against Washington was the only time in which he hasn't cracked the scoresheet in his last eight outings. Over that span, the 28-year-old has racked up four goals, seven assists, 38 shots on goal, five hits and nine blocked shots.

Mailloux notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils.

Mailloux played for the second time with the Blues after a slow start to the 2025-26 campaign led to a demotion to AHL Springfield. The 22-year-old blueliner is still a long way away from playing a key role -- the Blues' defense is dominated by the top four, with little ice time for those players on the third pairing. That's Mailloux's role whenever he's in the lineup, and he's earned an assist, a minus-13 rating, 16 hits and seven blocked shots over 11 outings in that spot.

Sanderson scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Sanderson ended his 10-game goal drought with a first-period tally. The 23-year-old blueliner had four assists over that span. Sanderson continues to offer plenty of offense and blocks in a huge role on the Senators' top pairing. He's at four goals, 18 points (eight on the power play), 50 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 23 appearances. A 60-point campaign isn't out of the question if he can remain steady on offense.

Montour scored a goal on six shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Montour has two goals and two helpers over his last four games. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to make an impact on offense while seeing ample ice time in all situations. For the season, he has five goals, 13 points, 48 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-6 rating through 19 appearances. Montour is on track to top the 40-point mark for the second year in a row and the third time in his career.

Dunn scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots, added four PIM and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Dunn tied the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The 29-year-old blueliner ended a five-game point drought with the tally. For the season, Dunn has four goals, 13 points, 53 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 23 appearances. He's consistent enough on offense to be a regular presence in most fantasy lineups.

Kolyachonok scored the game-winning goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Kraken.

Kolyachonok's long-range shot found the net at 14:16 of the third period, and that stood as the decisive goal. The 24-year-old has picked up both of his points this season over the last two games while filling in on the third pairing. He's added five shots on net, two hits, a plus-1 rating and one blocked shot over five appearances. However, Kolyachonok is unlikely to contribute enough in the long run to be an option for most fantasy managers.

Lindell scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Lindell has two goals and two helpers over his last seven outings. The 31-year-old defenseman can chip in some offense, but he's being leaned on heavily to shut down opposing teams' top players while the Stars are running thin on the blue line. For the season, Lindell has three goals, eight points, a plus-12 rating, 25 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and 14 hits over 24 appearances.

LaCombe scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks.

While the Ducks had a rough game, LaCombe's recent uptick in offense continued. The blueliner has three goals and three helpers over his last five outings. For the season, he's at three goals, 10 assists, 50 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 18 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 23 appearances. As long as the Ducks' offense remains electric, LaCombe should have plenty of chances to contribute.

Willander logged two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Willander logged his first multi-point game in the NHL by assisting on goals by Evander Kane (on the power play) and Conor Garland. Through 14 appearances, Willander has five assists, nine shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's been fairly sheltered on the third pairing and second power-play unit, but his promising offense is already peaking through. He's not quite productive enough yet for redraft formats, but dynasty managers should be patient for the 20-year-old to grow into a larger role.

Hronek logged two assists and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Hronek has two goals and four helpers over his last five outings. The do-it-all defenseman has provided strong secondary scoring from the blue line to help augment the team's offense beyond Quinn Hughes. Hronek is up to two goals, 13 assists, 33 shots on net, 45 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 24 contests this season.
