Capobianco notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.

Capobianco had the secondary helper on Jason Robertson's third-period tally. While Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed), Thomas Harley (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (lower body) are all out, Capobianco should continue to see steady third-pairing usage for the cap-strapped Stars. Capobianco's assist Saturday was his first point in seven outings, and he's added three shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating.

Theodore scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Theodore extended his point streak to four games (two goals, four assists) with the opening tally in this contest. The 30-year-old defenseman has gotten on the scoresheet in six of his last seven outings. He's up to three goals, 13 points, 49 shots, 34 blocks and a plus-6 rating across 21 appearances as the Golden Knights' top blueliner.

Zellweger scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Zellweger has two goals over his last four games, but that's all of his offense in his past eight outings. The 22-year-old is still in a top-four role on paper, though he had just 14:23 of ice time in Saturday's contest, as Pavel Mintyukov carved out a larger role after a stint as a healthy scratch. However, Zellweger doesn't appear to be in danger of exiting the lineup. He has three goals, seven points, a plus-10 rating, 46 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and 14 PIM over 22 appearances this campaign.

LaCombe scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

LaCombe brought his best for a Pacific Division showdown, earning his first multi-point effort of the season. Both of his goals have come over the last four contests, suggesting his puck luck is starting to come around. The defenseman is at 10 points, 48 shots, 41 blocks, 18 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 22 appearances. With just a slight uptick in production, he should be able to get on pace to exceed his 43-point effort from 75 outings a year ago.

Iorio logged two assists in AHL San Jose's 4-3 overtime win over Abbotsford on Saturday.

Iorio impressed during his 14-day conditioning loan, racking up seven helpers over six games in total, as well as a plus-7 rating and five shots on net. The Sharks will have to add him back to their NHL roster Sunday or expose him to waivers, which is how they got him from the Capitals in the first place. Assuming he stays with the Sharks, he should be in contention for bottom-four minutes moving forward, likely at the expense of John Klingberg or Vincent Desharnais. There could be a lot of shuffling of blueliners in and out of the lineup if the Sharks continue to carry nine defensemen.

Gavrikov scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Gavrikov tied the game at 1-1 in the first period and helped out on Artemi Panarin's tally in the second. This was the second multi-point effort of the season for Gavrikov, both of which have come within his last seven games. He's at three goals, eight points, 32 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 23 appearances this season in a top-pairing role alongside Adam Fox.

Chychrun scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Chychrun found the back of the net with a snap shot at 5:26 of the second period. However, that marker merely reduced the Capitals' deficit to two goals. Chychrun has six goals this season, and he's riding his most prolific stretch of the campaign. Saturday's goal pushed his point streak to seven games, tallying three goals and five assists over that span.

DeSimone scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

DeSimone's shot through traffic found the net at 7:32 of the third period and held up as his second career game-winner. The 31-year-old defenseman already has three points in seven outings this season, compared to six points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. He's added 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating this year while playing a part-time role, though he was listed on the top pairing Saturday.

Montour scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Montour was the hero for the Kraken after scoring the deciding goal with 50 seconds left in the overtime period. He's up to four goals and 12 points in 17 outings this year. Montour didn't come close to matching his 73-point regular-season output from 2022-23 in the 2023-24 or 2024-25 regular seasons. However, he has a real shot of recording at least 45 points for the second time in his career if he stays healthy for the rest of the campaign.

Dobson scored two goals in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Dobson was a huge scoring threat from the blue line, and he found the back of the net late in the first period and early in the second frame. They were his second and third goals of the campaign, and those markers bring him up to 15 points in 21 outings this year. He's bouncing back nicely from his 39 points in 71 outings with the Islanders during the 2024-25 regular season.
