Mikhail Sergachev D | UTA
Hockey Club's Mikhail Sergachev: Erupts for three points in win
Sergachev scored a goal on two shots, added two power-play assists, logged two PIM, levied three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Kraken.
Sergachev has multiple points in three of his last 10 games, earning four goals and four assists in that span despite six scoreless outings. The 26-year-old defenseman was involved in Utah's first two goals Tuesday and also helped out on a Nick Schmaltz goal late in the second period. Sergachev has crossed the 50-point mark for the second time in three years -- he's at 15 goals, 36 helpers, 21 power-play points, 123 shots on net, 136 blocked shots, 56 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 73 contests this season.

Cody Ceci D | LA
Stars' Cody Ceci: Ends slump with assist
Ceci posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Ceci snapped a 12-game point drought with the helper. In that span, he had 23 blocked shots, 12 shots on net and a plus-9 rating, so he has remained effective on the defensive side of things. Overall, the 31-year-old blueliner is at 23 points, 84 shots on net, 75 hits, 148 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 81 contests between the Stars and Sharks. This level of offense is in line with his usual production for a full season.

Thomas Chabot D | OTT
Senators' Thomas Chabot: Hits 40-point mark with two points
Chabot had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 loss to Columbus on Tuesday.
He buried a rebound late in the third period to finish the scoring. Chabot is on a three-game, five-point scoring streak (one goal, four assists) with eight shots. More importantly, he hit 40 points (seven goals, 33 assists) on the season. That's the third time in his career that he's hit that mark. And the oft-injured Chabot has played in 77 games this season. That's the most games he's ever played in a campaign.

Esa Lindell D | DAL
Stars' Esa Lindell: Picks up helper in overtime loss
Lindell notched an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Lindell set up a Mikael Granlund empty-netter before a historic last-minute collapse by the Stars. The assist was Lindell's fourth over the last five contests, a span in which he's added 12 blocks and a plus-3 rating. The 30-year-old shutdown blueliner has 26 points, 94 shots on net, 166 blocked shots, 49 hits and a plus-36 rating over 78 appearances. This matches his highest point total in any of the last six years, equaling his output from 82 games a year ago.

Thomas Harley D | DAL
Stars' Thomas Harley: Secures 50-point campaign
Harley managed a power-play assist, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Harley has a goal and two helpers in his last three games. This was his first power-play point since March 26 versus the Oilers, but Harley has remained on the top unit in that span. The 23-year-old reached the 50-point mark Tuesday, doing so with 16 goals, 34 assists, a plus-33 rating, 166 shots on net and 109 blocked shots over 76 appearances. With the timeline for Miro Heiskanen's (knee) return still hazy, Harley will continue to operate as the Stars' top blueliner.

Canucks' Marcus Pettersson: Slides assist in comeback win
Pettersson notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Pettersson set up Aatu Raty's goal with one minute left in regulation, which sparked a furious comeback for the Canucks. This was Pettersson's second helper in the last three games. The defenseman is up to 27 points, 67 shots on net, 137 blocked shots, 77 hits, 43 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 74 outings between the Canucks and the Penguins this season. He's earned nine assists over 27 contests with Vancouver.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Offers pair of helpers
Hronek notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Hronek has four points during his active three-game point streak. He helped out on both goals by Pius Suter in the final 30 seconds of regulation. The 27-year-old Hronek is up to 32 points, 77 shots on net, 80 hits, 72 blocked shots, 40 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 57 contests. He continues to fill a top-four role with power-play time, which makes him fairly reliable for fantasy managers.

Quinn Hughes D | MIN
Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Two more helpers Tuesday
Hughes registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Hughes had a helper on the Canucks' first and fifth goals in a chaotic third period. This was Hughes' third two-assist effort over the last six games, though he's been held off the scoresheet in the other three contests in that span. For the season, the superstar blueliner has 16 goals, 58 assists, 28 power-play points, 178 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 64 appearances.

Victor Mancini D | VAN
Canucks' Victor Mancini: Nets power-play goal
Mancini scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Stars.
Mancini has received virtually no power-play time between the Rangers and the Canucks this season, but he was out there in the third period and cashed in just before the game returned to even strength. The goal was Mancini's first as a Canuck and second overall. The defenseman is up to eight points, 27 shots on net, 31 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances. Mancini's spot in the lineup is safe as long as Tyler Myers (undisclosed) is out.
