McCabe logged a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

McCabe set up Auston Matthews' game-tying tally 55 seconds into the third period. With five assists over his last five games, McCabe has chipped in more than his usual share of offense. The 31-year-old defenseman is enjoying a solid campaign with 22 points, 112 hits, 131 blocked shots, 73 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-23 rating over 64 appearances. He has exceeded the 20-point mark in four straight seasons while adding ample physicality.

Bichsel logged an assist, four hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Bichsel snapped a 13-game point drought with the helper, his first scoring contribution since Feb. 8 versus the Sharks. The 20-year-old defenseman has mostly been able to stick in the lineup because of his physical play, though he is stuck in a third-pairing role. He's produced six points, 126 hits, 18 blocked shots, 33 PIM, 27 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over his first 30 NHL appearances.

Borgen logged an assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Borgen has four points over his last eight outings, serving as a steady defenseman in a bottom-four role. The 28-year-old is up to 14 points, 69 shots on net, 118 hits, 107 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 76 games between the Rangers and the Kraken this season. He's earned 12 of those points across 43 appearances since he was traded to the Rangers, but his offense is still a little too low to be trusted in standard fantasy formats.

Schneider logged an assist, three hits, five blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

This was a well-rounded effort for Schneider, highlighted by his primary helper on Artemi Panarin's opening tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Schneider has contributed three helpers over his last four games. Consistency on offense hasn't been a thing for him for much of the campaign, but his year-to-year numbers are pretty even. He matched his career high with 19 points, and he's added 91 shots on net, 132 hits, 137 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 74 appearances. He's got eight games left to set a new personal best.

Miller logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Miller had a hand in Adam Fox's second tally of the game at 5:47 of the third period. This was Miller's second straight contest with an assist, and he ends March with seven points over 15 appearances. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, 102 shots on net, 98 hits, 97 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 68 outings overall as he continues to do a little bit of everything in a top-four role.

Vaakanainen notched two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Vaakanainen helped out on Artemi Panarin's opening tally in the first period and Jonny Brodzinski's insurance marker in the third. Prior to Friday's game in Anaheim, Vaakanainen had been scratched three contests in a row, which suggests he's at risk of losing further playing time to Zac Jones down the stretch. Overall, Vaakanainen has 13 points, 36 shots on net, 18 hits, 44 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 44 appearances between the Rangers and the Ducks this season.

Fox scored two goals on six shots, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Fox stretched the Rangers' lead to 3-0 in the second period and poked home another goal in the third. This was his third multi-point effort in the last four games. The defenseman is locked in late in the campaign and is now up to nine goals, 56 points, 115 shots on net, 99 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 66 appearances in his usual top-four role.

Pachal scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Pachal helped out on a Yegor Sharangovich tally in the first period and then scored off a feed from Nazem Kadri in the third. This was the first multi-point effort of Pachal's career, and it ended his five-game point drought. The 25-year-old has had to compete with Daniil Miromanov for playing time over the last couple of weeks, with Pachal getting scratched five times since March 19. He's now at three goals, nine points, 56 shots on net, 141 hits, 75 blocked shots, 84 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 66 appearances.

Bouchard notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

Bouchard continues to hum along on offense with six helpers over his last eight contests since his last goal March 13 versus the Devils. The defenseman is up to 58 points, 210 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 73 appearances. Bouchard's mix of strong offense and durability has made him a high-end option in fantasy -- he's missed just two games over the last four seasons since becoming an NHL regular.

Nurse logged two assists, three shots on goal, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

This is the kind of all-around performance that makes Nurse a reliable fantasy blueliner. He had helpers on tallies by Viktor Arvidsson and Leon Draisaitl during regulation. This was Nurse's third two-assist game in the last five contests, and he's up to 30 points in 68 outings this season, reaching that scoring threshold for the seventh year in a row. The defenseman has added 168 shots on net, 147 hits, 123 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-10 rating.
