Parayko scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Parayko netted the lone tally of Thursday's third period to bring the Blues within one goal. Despite struggling to find the back of the net this year after his career year for goals a season ago, Thursday's twine finder was his second across his last four games. He's trending in the right direction offensively and now has 17 points, 99 shots on net, 92 hits and 168 blocked shots through 73 games this season. Parayko offers strong fantasy value for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs in leagues that place a premium on category coverage.

Morrissey scored a goal, placed four shots on net and served two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Morrissey's tally over halfway through Thursday's second period placed the Jets up 2-1, which would help the team keep the lead for the remainder of the contest. Overall, he is up to 14 goals, 55 points, 136 shots on net and 110 blocked shots across 73 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner has been highly effective in the offensive zone recently with nine points and 21 shots on net over his last nine games. With four games remaining on Winnipeg's regular-season schedule, Morrissey sits five points away from 60 on the year, giving him an outside chance to reach that threshold for the fourth straight year.

Pettersson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Pettersson suited up for his 600th NHL contest, and he marked the occasion with the Canucks' lone goal. The defenseman is up to four points over five games in April. He's at three goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 77 hits, 60 PIM, 133 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 78 appearances. Pettersson remains a defensive stalwart in a top-four role, but he'd need to sustain his recent success to get to the 20-point mark this year with four games left on the schedule.

Hanifin notched an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

Hanifin has three helpers over his last five games. He's gone 15 contests without a goal, adding just four assists with 23 shots on net and 20 blocked shots in that span. The 29-year-old defenseman is at 26 points, 131 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 68 appearances. Hanifin is overshadowed on offense by Shea Theodore and Rasmus Andersson, but he still gets plenty of ice time in a top-four role as a defensive stalwart.

Dunn logged two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

One of Dunn's helpers came on the power play. The 29-year-old defenseman had gone eight games without a point prior to Thursday. He's up to 43 points (21 on the power play), 167 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-27 rating through 77 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Mukhamadullin scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Ducks.

Mukhamadullin broke up Lukas Dostal's shutout bid at 12:40 of the third period. The tally ended a seven-game point drought for Mukhamadullin, who has played regularly in that stretch, though he was a healthy scratch Wednesday against the Oilers. The 24-year-old defenseman is at five goals, 12 points, 46 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 29 hits and a minus-3 rating over 46 appearances this season. He's still adjusting to the NHL, but he should be in position to challenge for a full-time job in 2026-27.

Mintyukov notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Mintyukov has been back in the lineup for two games since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old had a hand in first-period tallies by Leo Carlsson and John Carlson to snap a five-game point drought. Mintyukov is up to 22 points, 78 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 70 appearances, playing mainly in a bottom-four role.

Carlson scored three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Carlson had an even-strength goal in the first period that stood as the game-winner, and he added two power-play tallies in the third. Remarkably, he never had a hat trick in 1,143 games for the Capitals, but it took him just 13 contests for the Ducks to achieve the feat. The blueliner is up to 14 goals, 58 points, 150 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 68 appearances between the two teams this season, including 12 points since he joined Anaheim.

Raddysh scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Raddysh is tied for third overall in goals (22) from the blue line, and his 70 points are the sixth-best total for that position this season. Raddysh has had a breakout season, but we don't know how he can keep this up in future seasons. Be ready to make an offseason trade in dynasty or keeper formats, especially if he caps this dream season off with a long and successful playoff run. Raddysh's value will never be higher.

Rielly scored a goal Thursday in a 5-3 loss to the Islanders.

Rielly has had a tough season, so he'll take this gimme goal -- he fired a pass to the crease that deflected off Matt Barzal's stick and through Ilya Sorokin's legs late in the the third. Rielly started the season reasonably well with 23 points (five goals, 18 assists) in his first 29 games, but he has just six goals and seven assists in 46 games since Dec. 13. Rielly's contract runs through 2029-30, but there's plenty of speculation in Toronto that the last three games of the season will be his last in blue and white. A change of scenery might improve his fantasy value, but it's hard to imagine he'll skate with a player much better than Auston Matthews.
