Callahan scored a goal and dished out two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 win over New Jersey.

After bouncing back and forth between AHL Providence and the NHL this season, Callahan found the back of the net for the first time in 16 games with Boston. Tuesday's goal was the 25-year-old blueliner's first point of the season and is an encouraging sign for the future if he can secure a full-time spot with the Bruins next season -- assuming he re-signs with Boston in the offseason. Additionally, with Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) set to return to the defensive core next season, this will be no easy task for the lefty-shot Callahan, so he may need to sign elsewhere.

Mayfield scored a shorthanded goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Nashville.

Mayfield joined the rush while shorthanded and put the Isles ahead 6-4 late in the third period, but that lead was short-lived, as Nashville stormed back and forced overtime. The goal was Mayfield's first point since Jan. 2, though he hasn't logged an assist since Dec. 21. The right-shot defenseman doesn't provide enough value in non-scoring areas to warrant consideration in the fantasy realm -- his plus-16 rating is arguably his best attribute, which leaves him best suited for the waiver wire.

Skjei logged three even-strength assists and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.

Skjei helped Nashville equalize the game twice in regulation before setting up Fedor Svechkov for the winner in overtime. This outburst snapped a three-game dry spell for Skjei, who hadn't had a multi-point effort since Feb. 8 prior to Tuesday. For the season, the left-shot blueliner has registered 10 goals, 21 helpers, 151 shots on net, 38 PIM and a minus-15 rating across 78 appearances.

Gudbranson logged an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

This was Gudbranson's 800th NHL contest, and he was able to get on the scoresheet by helping out on a Mathieu Olivier tally in the second period. The 33-year-old Gudbranson has often been a shutdown blueliner in his career, earning just 135 points in his career. He's at two assists, seven shots on net, 17 hits and 12 blocked shots over 11 outings this year after losing much of the campaign to a shoulder injury.

Provorov notched an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

Provorov snapped a six-game slump with the helper. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 31 points, one shy of his total from last year. He won't have a career year in 2024-25, but he's been steady in a top-four role for much of the campaign. Provorov has added 122 blocked shots, 97 shots on net, 31 PIM and a plus-3 rating.

Forsling scored a goal on eight shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Forsling rested Sunday versus the Red Wings, but it was just a one-game absence for him. He looked refreshed, leading the Panthers in shots and cashing one of them in at 9:26 of the first period to open the scoring. The defenseman has 11 tallies, 28 points, 189 shots on net, 86 blocked shots, 81 hits and a plus-32 rating over 77 outings this season.

McNabb scored a goal, blocked three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

McNabb ended an eight-game point drought with the tally, which was his first goal since Feb. 24 versus the Kings. The veteran defenseman continues to see ample playing time, but he's in a shutdown role that leads to minimal offense. For the season, he has five goals, 18 points, 87 shots on net, 128 hits, 158 blocked shots and a plus-37 rating across 78 appearances.

Dunn notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Utah.

Dunn has six helpers over his last nine contests, though just two of them have come on the power play. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 38 points over 59 appearances this season, a fair bit behind the 46-point effort he had over the same number of games in 2023-24. Dunn has added 11 power-play points, 133 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in 2024-25 while remaining on the top pairing when healthy.

Kesselring logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Kraken.

Kesselring snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old defenseman has struggled to find steady offense since Utah's blue line got healthy, though Kesselring was able to pick up a little more ice time since John Marino (face) was out of the lineup. Kesselring has 27 points, 138 shots on net, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots, 85 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 78 appearances this season.

Durzi notched an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Kraken.

Durzi saw a little more action while John Marino (face) was out Tuesday, though Utah spread the ice time around in the blowout win. The 26-year-old Durzi has a goal and three helpers over his last six contests. For the season, the defenseman is at 10 points, 29 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 26 appearances.
