Pulock notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Pulock snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. He missed the Islanders' March 4 game versus the Ducks due to an upper-body injury, but he has resumed his top-four role without restrictions since then. The defenseman is up to 25 points, 79 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-15 rating over 66 appearances.

Gilbert notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Gilbert has played in four straight games since the Senators are missing Jake Sanderson (upper body) and Nick Jensen (knee). Gilbert isn't getting a lot of work -- he was under 10 minutes of ice time for the second contest in a row Thursday. Through five NHL outings this year, the 29-year-old has two shots on net, five hits and 10 blocked shots, so he'll mostly contribute in the physical categories.

Matinpalo logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Matinpalo has a career-high five points in 36 outings this season. The defenseman was a regular scratch before the Olympics and was injured while representing Finland at the tournament, but he's taken on a steady role recently since the Senators are down Jake Sanderson (upper body) and Nick Jensen (knee). Matinpalo won't score his way into fantasy relevance, though he's added 31 hits and 38 blocked shots this season to provide a bit of physicality.

Spence logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

Spence has two helpers over his last three games. He's earned five assists during his ongoing 16-game goal drought. The 25-year-old has picked up extra responsibilities, including more power-play time, in the absence of Jake Sanderson (upper body). Spence has 21 points, 79 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-15 rating through 59 appearances this season.

Peeke registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Peeke ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched three times in that span, most recently Monday versus the Devils, which suggests Peeke is losing his grip on a full-time role. The 28-year-old has a modest 13 points, 67 shots on net, 84 hits, 117 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 65 appearances.

Aspirot scored a goal, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-4 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Jets.

Aspirot has three points over his last seven outings despite seeing steady time on the Bruins' blue line. Prior to Thursday, he hadn't scored in the calendar year, picking up eight assists with a plus-12 rating over 26 outings dating back to Jan. 3. Aspirot has done well this year to establish himself as a full-time NHL option, but his offense -- 11 points in 48 contests -- isn't that strong. He's added 34 shots on net, 77 hits, 64 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-26 rating.

Kuznetsov (upper body) is expected to continue to miss out versus Florida on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Kuznetsov will be out of action for his third straight game due to his upper-body problem. The blueliner is mired in an 18-game goal drought during which he has recorded just 23 shots and three assists. Given his offensive limitations, Kuznetsov's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Gostisbehere (lower body) isn't expected to play in Friday's game against the Maple Leafs, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Gostisbehere didn't participate in Friday's morning skate, signaling that he'll miss a seventh consecutive game due to his lower-body injury. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Schaefer scored his 21st goal of the season in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

The phenom opened the scoring early in the second period as he launched a rocket into the top corner past James Reimer from the top of the faceoff circle. The goal was Schaefer's 21st of the season as he closes in on Brian Leetch's all-time record of 23 for a rookie defenseman, while the point was his 50th of the season -- making him just the second 18-year-old blueliner in NHL history to hit that plateau after Phil Housley in 1982-83. Both Leetch and Housley are in the Hall of Fame.

Rielly (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hurricanes, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

Rielly was unavailable for team activities Thursday due to his illness, but he's been cleared to suit up for the Maple Leafs' game a day later. Across 12 appearances since the Olympic break, he's recorded two goals, 18 blocked shots, 13 PIM and eight hits while averaging 20:04 of ice time.
