Roy posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

The helper snapped a 10-game slump for Roy. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to be a steady source of physical play in a top-four role, but his offense can waver. For the season, he has 11 points, 52 shots on net, 50 hits, 85 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 40 appearances. He's a little behind the scoring pace that has seen him average 25 points per year over the last three regular seasons.

Stanley scored a goal in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.

Stanley broke the shutout bid midway through the third period with his seventh goal of the season. While he has yet to be a consistent playmaker this season, he is tied for fourth on the Jets in goals, which leads all of the team's defensemen. With four goals in his last 10 games, he has a legitimate chance to reach the double-digit goal mark for the first time in his six-year career. The 27-year-old blueliner is worth a look in category-based fantasy leagues with 13 points, 43 shots on net, 67 hits and 43 blocks through 38 games this year.

Raddysh scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Ducks.

After helping to set up a J.J. Moser tally in the first period, Raddysh banged home a feed from Brandon Hagel in OT to end things. The 29-year-old blueliner continues to shine while Victor Hedman (elbow) is on the shelf, and Raddysh racked up six goals and 13 points in 14 December contests while adding 38 shots on net, 19 hits, 13 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating to his ledger.

Seider tallied a power-play assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Winnipeg.

Seider recorded the primary helper on Dylan Larkin's power-play goal to open the scoresheet in Wednesday's contest. With the apple, he now has 24 assists, 31 points, 98 shots on net, 70 hits and 90 blocks through 41 appearances this season. Even if his point pace slows at some point during the second half of the season, the 24-year-old blueliner is on a strong enough pace to reach a new career high in goals and points. Seider should continue to produce one of the best combinations of category-coverage stats from the blue line, giving him elite fantasy value in the second half of the season.

Sandin notched two assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

The 25-year-old blueliner had a hand in a Tom Wilson tally in the second period before Aliaksei Protas re-directed his shot past Jonathan Quick in the third for what proved to be the game-winner. Sandin heads into 2026 with a little bit of steam, picking up six assists in his last nine games, but he's gone 22 straight appearances without finding the back of the net himself.

Fox scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Activated off IR ahead of the afternoon contest, Fox wasted little time making an impact for the Rangers, helping to set up a Vincent Trocheck tally late in the first period before blasting a one-timer past Charlie Lindgren late in the second. Fox missed nearly the entire month of December with an upper-body injury, but through 28 games this season he's produced four goals and 28 points, including nine (two goals, seven assists) with the man advantage.

Aspirot scored a goal on three shots, added five PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

This was Aspirot's second game back after he missed seven contests due to an upper-body injury. He's returned to a bottom-four role on the Bruins' blue line, bumping Vladislav Kolyachonok out of the mix for now. Aspirot has two goals, 16 shots on net, 34 hits, 28 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 21 appearances. He has more value on the ice than in fantasy and is unlikely to be helpful in most formats.

Lindholm scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

Lindholm snapped an eight-game point drought with the effort. The 31-year-old's second-period tally held as the game-winner, his second such goal of the year. Lindholm is up to three tallies, 13 points, 58 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 33 appearances in a top-four role. Lindholm can put up more offense, but at his current level of production, he's an option in deeper fantasy formats only.

Weegar notched two assists, four shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

Weegar turned things around in December, earning nine points over the last 10 games of the month. The 31-year-old blueliner had a rough start to the year, but he's too good to stay down all season. Overall, he's now at 14 points, 93 shots on net, 97 hits, 86 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-14 rating across 40 appearances. With his offense trending up, fantasy managers should see if he can be scooped up off the wire -- rivals may have been impatient with his first two months of the campaign.

Andersson scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.

Andersson cashed in late on a two-man advantage to give the Flames a 3-1 lead in the second period. The 29-year-old defenseman snapped a four-game point drought and finished December with eight points over 13 appearances. For the season, he's enjoyed a bounce-back year with eight goals, 26 points (nine on the power play), 96 shots on net, 74 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 50-point mark for the second time in his career, though if the pending free agent gets traded, he may not see as large a role with a contending team.
