Fowler scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Red Wings. He also recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a blocked shot.

Fowler made his presence felt in both goals, delivering an assist in Jordan Kyrou's equalizer and later scoring the game-winning goal at the 3:27 mark in overtime. Fowler is a reliable fantasy contributor out of the blue line and has recorded nine points (two goals, seven assists) over his last 10 regular-season appearances.

Sanderson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.

Sanderson has scored in two of the last three games and has 14 points over 16 outings since the start of March. The 22-year-old defenseman is also plus-2 in that span, an indication that some of his defensive struggles, as well as those of the Senators as a whole, have faded away as the team pushes toward making the playoffs. Sanderson reached the 50-point mark with the goal, the first time in his three seasons he's been at that level. He's added 167 shots on net, 149 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 73 appearances this season.

Joseph (upper body) skated before Wednesday's practice, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Joseph's return to the ice is certainly a step in the right direction, but the fact that he isn't working with the team yet -- and it was unclear if he would join the Pens' upcoming three-game road trip -- doesn't inspire confidence that he will be back in the lineup soon. At this point, the 25-year-old blueliner should probably be considered out indefinitely until he resumes full-contact practices.

Chisholm (lower body) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's road game against the Rangers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Chisholm has missed the last four games due to a lower-body injury, but he'll be back in action Wednesday while Jon Merrill heads to the bench. Chisholm made 10 appearances in March and logged an assist, 17 blocked shots, 12 hits and four PIM while averaging 17:02 of ice time.

Samuelsson notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

Both helpers came in the first period as the Sabres jumped out to a lead they would never relinquish. It was Samuelsson's first multi-point performance since Jan. 23, but the 25-year-old defenseman has picked up his scoring pace of late with a goal and five points in the last six games. On the season, Samuelsson has four goals and 14 points in 54 appearances with 87 hits, 84 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Dahlin scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

It's the second multi-point performance in three appearances for Dahlin, who is having a strong finish to the campaign. In 19 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off, the 24-year-old blueliner has delivered seven goals and 17 points, leaving Dahlin one point away from recording 60 for the second time in his career.

Hutson notched three assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

It was the second straight three-point performance by the 21-year-old blueliner, who remained locked in a tight race for the Calder Trophy with Philadelphia's Matvei Michkov. Hutson is up to five goals and 62 points -- four points clear of Michkov among rookies -- in 74 appearances, and he's actually picking up his scoring pace with the playoffs approaching rather than fading late in his first NHL campaign. Over 15 games since the beginning of March, Hutson has racked up a goal and 18 points.

Casey was called up from AHL Utica on Wednesday.

Casey has three goals and 18 points in 30 outings with Utica this campaign. The 21-year-old has also contributed four goals and five points across 10 appearances with New Jersey.

Mukhamadullin (upper body) was still being evaluated following Tuesday's matchup with Anaheim, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Mukhamadullin logged just 15:16 of ice time before being forced to exit the contest due to his upper-body issue -- though he was still able to end his 23-game goal drought with a tally versus the Ducks. If the blueliner misses any time, the Sharks would likely need to bring a player up from the minors unless one of their injured defensemen is ready to return.

Oesterle scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Oesterle's playing time has been a bit thin since the Predators snagged him off waivers from the Bruins in early March. This was his eighth game out of 13 possible appearances since he landed in Nashville. Oesterle has two goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, 24 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 30 appearances as a part-time player this season. He's seeing more action heading into April, but that's because the Predators are short on forwards and need to dress seven defensemen to fill out the lineup. Oesterle's role could diminish again once Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) or Colton Sissons (lower body) are able to play.
