  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Remains out for Wednesday's game

    Gostisbehere (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Penguins, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

    Gostisbehere will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with a lower-body injury. Although head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Monday that Gostisbehere is "trending closer" to a return, it's not yet clear when he'll be cleared for game action, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Friday against the Maple Leafs.

  • Jets' Josh Morrissey: Tallies in shootout loss

    Morrissey scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

    Morrissey has two goals and two assists over his last six games. The defenseman is now at 12 goals, 46 points, 113 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 62 appearances. The Jets are still on the fringe of the playoff race, so expect Morrissey to continue playing a large role from the blue line as long as they're competing.

  • Wyatt Kaiser D | CHI

    Blackhawks' Wyatt Kaiser: Nabs helper in return

    Kaiser posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Kaiser missed one game due to a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old was on the second pairing as the Blackhawks went full youth movement on the blue line by scratching veteran Matt Grzelcyk. Kaiser has earned 13 points, 60 shots on net, 38 hits, 54 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 62 appearances this season and should be in the lineup regularly for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Jonas Brodin D | MIN

    Wild's Jonas Brodin: Picks up first helper since return

    Brodin logged an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Brodin's been back in the lineup for eight contests after returning from a 14-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He's added 13 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating since his return. The 32-year-old defenseman brings structure and stability to the Minnesota defense, and he can occasionally make an impact on offense. For the season, he's at 16 points, 56 shots on net, 107 blocks and a plus-17 rating over 50 outings. He had 20 points in 50 regular-season games a year ago.

  • Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Two points against Wild

    Crevier scores a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

    The 24-year-old blueliner got Chicago on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up a Ryan Greene tally in the second. Crevier snapped a 13-game point drought with the performance. He has contributed five goals, 17 points, 106 hits, 96 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 64 contests this season.

  • Brock Faber D | MIN

    Wild's Brock Faber: Three helpers in Chicago

    Faber pocketed three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

    After having a hand in first-period tallies by Ryan Hartman and Vladimir Tarasenko, Faber picked up his third helper on Mats Zuccarello's game-winner. The three-point effort was a season high for the 23-year-old blueliner. He has delivered one goal and nine points in his last 11 games. Faber needs one more point to tie the career-high 47 he produced as a rookie in 2023-24.

  • Lane Hutson D | MON

    Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Two helpers against Boston

    Hutson picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

    The star blueliner had a hand in Montreal's final two tallies, including Cole Caufield's game-winner. Hutson has gotten onto the scoresheet in seven of eight games in March, piling up one goal and 10 points. He remains on pace for his first 80-point campaign with 69 points (11 goals, 58 assists) through 67 contests.

  • Sharks' Dmitry Orlov: Grabs two points in loss

    Orlov scored a goal, distributed an assist and placed two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Edmonton.

    Orlov has recorded only multi-point games this season. He potted the opening goal before sliding the lone helper on a marker by Kiefer Sherwood. The pair of points brought Orlov up to two goals, 26 assists, 65 shots on net, 101 hits and 65 blocked shots across 66 games this campaign. The 34-year-old blueliner has begun to find his groove offensively in March, as he's posted five points over his last eight games. The all-around blueliner holds solid fantasy value in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Oilers' Connor Murphy: Nets first goal with Oilers

    Murphy tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

    Murphy gave the Oilers a 2-1 lead midway through the first period. The goal was his first since being acquired from the Blackhawks ahead of the trade deadline. Overall, he now has five goals, 14 points, 60 shots on net, 71 hits and 106 blocked shots across 67 games between Chicago and Edmonton this season. While the goal was his first offensive contribution for Edmonton across seven games, he's posted solid numbers in the defensive zone with 19 blocked shots. As a part of Edmonton's second defensive pairing, Murphy holds decent fantasy value in deep leagues that value banger stats.

  • Blue Jackets' Denton Mateychuk: Buries goal in win

    Mateychuk scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

    Mateychuk had a goal late in the second period, the second in a span of 34 seconds, which helped the Blue Jackets run away with this win. The defenseman has two goals and four assists over nine outings in March. He's up to 11 goals, 28 points, 72 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 60 appearances. Mateychuk has some real talent -- though it's tough for him to shine when Zach Werenski is so dominant on the Columbus blue line.
