    Kraken's Vince Dunn: Garners power-play assist Tuesday

    Dunn notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

    Dunn got on the scoresheet in the final minute of the third period on Eeli Tolvanen's goal. The 28-year-old Dunn had four assists over seven outings in April, but he ended 2024-25 in a 22-game goal drought. The defenseman concluded the campaign at 39 points (12 on the power play), 137 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 62 appearances. It wasn't a great season for him compared to the previous two years, but Dunn's power-play time and top-four usage will keep him in the conversation in fantasy for 2025-26.

  • Kraken's Brandon Montour: Completes successful season

    Montour scored a power-play goal on five shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

    While the Kraken were nothing special in 2024-25, Montour played well in his first year with the team. Through Tuesday's games, he ranks fourth among all NHL defensemen with 18 goals, and he was sixth among all Kraken skaters in goals and points (41). Still, he ended the year a little cold with just two goals over his last 13 contests. He added a total of 231 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 84 hits, 70 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 81 appearances this season. Montour signed a seven-year deal last summer, so he'll be a key part of the Seattle blue line for quite some time.

  • Kings' Jacob Moverare: Gathers helper Tuesday

    Moverare notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    Moverare ended a five-game point drought. The 26-year-old has played regularly late in the season, though that's been because Joel Edmundson (upper body) has been unavailable. If the Kings are at full health to begin the postseason, Moverare is likely to be out of the lineup unless the team goes back to deploying seven blueliners regularly. He's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 49 appearances.

  • Kings' Jordan Spence: Manages helper Tuesday

    Spence logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    Spence helped out on a Samuel Helenius goal in the first period. The 24-year-old Spence has earned three points over six games since he was scratched April 3 versus Utah. The blueliner has put together a career year with four goals, 23 assists, 85 shots on net, 80 hits, 77 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating through 78 outings.

  • Kings' Vladislav Gavrikov: Posts pair of assists

    Gavrikov logged two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

    Gavrikov was on top-pairing duties with both Drew Doughty and Mikey Anderson getting planned rest for this game. This was Gavrikov's second two-assist effort over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old has reached the 30-point mark for the second time in his career, racking up five goals, 25 assists, 110 shots on net, 50 hits, 140 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-27 rating over 81 appearances. He'll be a key part of shutting down the Oilers' superstars in the Kings' first-round playoff matchup.

  • Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Hands out helper in return

    Hague logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Hague had missed three games due to an illness. The 26-year-old saw 16:59 of ice time in his return, and he helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the first period. Hague is up to 12 points, 73 shots on net, 79 hits, 73 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 67 appearances. He'll likely be a regular in the lineup during the playoffs, but he probably won't play above the third pairing.

  • Flames' Brayden Pachal: Assists in consecutive contests

    Pachal notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

    Pachal got on the scoresheet against his former team. This was his second straight game with a helper as he works to leave a positive impression late in the campaign. The 25-year-old defenseman is at 11 points, 61 shots on net, 159 hits, 81 blocked shots, 88 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 75 outings this season.

  • Kevin Bahl D | CGY

    Flames' Kevin Bahl: Notches assist

    Bahl logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

    Bahl has picked up two helpers over his last five games. The 24-year-old defenseman took a big step this season, handling top-four minutes while reaching the 20-point mark for the first time in his first season with the Flames. He's at three goals, 17 assists, 81 shots on net, 107 hits, 116 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 72 appearances.

  • Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Helps out on power play

    Weegar notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

    Weegar kept warm with his sixth point over the last nine games when he set up a Morgan Frost tally in the first period. The 31-year-old Weegar has a career-high 39 helpers this season, as well as a personal-best 21 power-play points. He's at 47 points, 182 shots on net, 223 hits, 188 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating across 80 appearances in an impressive all-around campaign for a blueliner.

  • Wild's Jake Middleton: Earns helper in return

    Middleton notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.

    Middleton missed four games due to an upper-body injury sustained April 4 versus the Islanders. He logged 18:18 of ice time in his return, playing on the second pairing. The 29-year-old will likely see heavy minutes as a top-four blueliner in the playoffs. He ends the regular season with 21 points, 97 shots, 157 blocks, 99 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 67 appearances.
