Logan Stanley D | BUF
Sabres' Logan Stanley: Dishes two helpers in win
Stanley logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Stanley was a scratch Wednesday versus the Rangers, sitting out for the first time since his March 10 debut with the Sabres. He's earned just four points, all helpers, over 15 contests for his new team, as it appears his goal scoring was left behind in Winnipeg. The defenseman is at 25 points, 93 shots on net, 109 hits, 84 blocked shots, 126 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances between the two teams this season.

Rasmus Dahlin D | BUF
Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Fills empty cage
Dahlin scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Dahlin has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 19 goals and 72 points this season, one shy of matching his career high in both categories. He's added 194 shots on net, 67 hits, 79 blocked shots, 74 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 76 appearances. While the drop in physicality isn't great, Dahlin remains a quality source of all-around production and is in his prime years.

Ekman-Larsson notched an assist and 10 PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Islanders.
Ekman-Larsson missed Saturday's game against the Kings but was able to limit his absence to one contest. The 34-year-old has taken a few knocks that he's been able to mostly play through in 2025-26. He's produced 39 points, 106 shots on net, 83 hits, 68 blocked shots, 68 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 75 outings in his most productive campaign since 2018-19 with the Coyotes.

Jake Sanderson D | OTT
Senators' Jake Sanderson: Two helpers against Cats
Sanderson pocketed two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
The 23-year-old blueliner delivered his second straight multi-point effort, helping to set up tallies by Drake Batherson in the first period and Artem Zub in the third. Sanderson has two goals and five points in four games since returning from an upper-body injury, and on the season he has 13 goals and 53 points in just 66 contests, putting him four points away from tying the career-high 57 he recorded in 2024-25, with three games left in the regular season for the Senators.

Topias Vilen D | NJ
Devils' Topias Vilen: Recalled from AHL
Vilen was summoned from AHL Utica on Friday.
The Devils are down to six healthy defensemen as Luke Hughes (undisclosed) and Brett Pesce (lower body) appear to be out for the remainder of the season. Vilen, who could make his NHL debut in one of the final three games of the regular season, has four goals and 20 assists in 59 AHL contests this season.

Louis Crevier D | CHI
Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Slides two helpers Thursday
Crevier supplied two assists and dished out two hits in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Crevier continued his career year Thursday with a pair of helpers on Anton Frondell's two goals. Overall, Crevier is up to 18 assists, 23 points, 110 shots on net, 119 hits and 91 blocked shots across 75 games this season. The 24-year-old blueliner has six points over his last eight games. He's maintained high-level category coverage in that span with nine shots on net, eight hits and 17 blocked shots. He holds solid streaming value in deep leagues and has high upside in dynasty formats if he can continue his all-around production next season.

Erik Karlsson D | PIT
Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Two points in New Jersey
Karlsson collected a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.
The veteran blueliner continues to run hot or cold, but mostly hot. Karlson has produced multi-point performances in eight of the last 14 games, but he was held off the scoresheet entirely in the other six. Over that stretch, he's churned out nine goals and 22 points, and with three games left in the regular season for the Penguins, Karlsson sits four points shy of his sixth career 70-point campaign.

K'Andre Miller D | CAR
Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Lights lamp in big win
Miller tallied a goal, put two shots on net and served two PIM in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Miller found the back of the net for his second consecutive game Thursday early in the final frame. Overall, the 26-year-old blueliner has eight goals, 37 points, 122 shots on net, 99 hits and 77 blocked shots through 71 games this season. Since March 4, he's been a frequent contributor offensively with four goals, 13 points and 35 shots on net across 19 games. He's maintained strong category coverage during that time, making him a great fantasy option for the remainder of the regular season.
