Dahlin logged a pair of power-play assists, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kings.

Dahlin has produced a pair of helpers in back-to-back games for his first two multi-point efforts of the year. The star defenseman is up to nine points (five on the power play), 34 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-4 rating across 11 appearances. In terms of all-around production, Dahlin is about as reliable as it gets in fantasy.

Chabot posted an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

This was Chabot's second game back after missing four due to an upper-body injury. The veteran defenseman is up to five points, 23 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 11 outings. Chabot is a decent depth defenseman in standard fantasy formats, as he sees steady top-four minutes and works on the second power-play unit.

Sanderson logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.

Sanderson has logged a trio of multi-point efforts over six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old defenseman is looking like himself after the injury cost him time in the preseason and the first couple weeks of the regular season. Overall, Sanderson has a goal, seven assists, 13 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and six hits through seven appearances.

Pulock (upper body) will miss 2-4 weeks, the Islanders announced Sunday.

Pulock didn't play in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Edmonton after getting injured in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota. He has earned one assist, eight shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 11 hits in 13 appearances this season.

Heinola was assigned to AHL Henderson on Sunday.

The Golden Knights recalled Viliam Kmec from the minors in a corresponding move. Heinola has one assist, one shot on net and two blocked shots in two NHL appearances with Vegas in 2026-27. He also has one goal and five points in five AHL outings this campaign.

George was sent back to AHL Hamilton on Sunday.

George was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 4-0 loss to Edmonton. He hasn't earned a point in four AHL appearances this season, but he has nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

Taylor was returned to AHL Texas on Sunday.

Taylor made his NHL debut in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Montreal, posting one hit in 10:44 of ice time. He was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-1 win over Columbus because Esa Lindell returned to the lineup from a lower-body injury. Taylor has three assists in eight AHL outings this season.

Gilbert was loaned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.

Gilbert has been a healthy scratch in three of Buffalo's last five games. In five NHL appearances this season, he has one goal, two points, one shot on net, two blocked shots and seven hits.

Lohrei scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Lohrei snapped a seven-game point drought with the tally. He answered the Blackhawks' fourth goal less than a minute later during the third period, sparking the Bruins' comeback. Lohrei has three goals, three assists, 14 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances this season. He's holding onto a third-pairing role for now, but he could get scratched if he goes through any additional slumps, especially since the Bruins are rostering eight blueliners currently.

Toews recorded two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Toews is rolling with two goals and four assists during a four-game point streak. That's his best stretch of the season, but the 32-year-old defenseman has provided reliable scoring throughout the campaign. He's at four goals, nine helpers, 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 14 appearances. Toews' offense was too low last year, and it's too high right now -- expect a slowdown to come at some point, though he still offers enough with shots, hits and blocks to maintain good fantasy value.
