    Blues' Cam Fowler: Tallies on power play in loss

    Fowler scored a power-play goal and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Sharks.

    Fowler concludes March on a decent note. The 34-year-old defenseman had two goals, seven assists and a plus-11 rating over 14 outings for the month, accounting for a third of his offense this season. He's up to three goals, 24 helpers, nine power-play points, 86 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 73 appearances.

  • Nick Leddy D | SJ

    Sharks' Nick Leddy: Snags assist Monday

    Leddy produced an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues on Monday.

    Leddy was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team. The helper snapped a five-game skid for the defenseman, who is filling in on the third pairing in the absence of John Klingberg (lower body). Leddy is now at five assists, 11 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 25 appearances this season.

  • Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Pockets assist in overtime loss

    Zellweger registered an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Zellweger has earned two points over his last four outings, though he was a healthy scratch once in that span as well. The 22-year-old defenseman has mostly been able to retain a third-pairing spot in the lineup recently, but that's come without power-play usage. With the helper Monday, Zellweger has a career-high 21 points over 72 games, and he's added 117 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 31 hits this season.

  • Sam Malinski D | COL

    Avalanche's Sam Malinski: One of each Monday

    Malinski scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

    Malinski has five points, a plus-5 rating and seven blocks over his last four contests. The 27-year-old defenseman rarely steals the spotlight, but he's been excellent this year with 34 points, 140 shots on net, 82 blocks and a plus-41 rating through 73 appearances, more than double his 15-point output from the 2024-25 regular season. If Cale Makar (upper body) misses time, Malinski could carve out a larger power-play role in the short term.

  • Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Adds pair of helpers

    Wotherspoon notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

    Wotherspoon has nine helpers over his last nine contests. The 28-year-old has made the most of his recent top-four usage, though his fantasy value is still limited to deeper formats. He's at 29 points, 64 shots on net, 152 hits, 107 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 74 games this season.

  • Ryan Shea D | PIT

    Penguins' Ryan Shea: Finds twine in win

    Shea scored a goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

    Shea ended a five-game point drought with the tally, a span that included one absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has produced five points and 22 blocked shots over 15 outings in March. For the season, he's at five goals, 29 points, 67 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 37 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 73 appearances. Shea is currently in a third-pairing role, which will limit his production.

  • Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Cleared to play

    Spurgeon (upper body) will be available versus the Canucks on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    Spurgeon was sidelined against the Bruins on Saturday due to his upper-body problem, but he won't miss any additional time. The blueliner is currently mired in a 15-game goalless streak dating back to before the Olympic break. During that stretch, Spurgeon has generated two assists, 21 blocks and 15 shots while averaging 18:47 of ice time.

  • Tyler Myers D | DAL

    Stars' Tyler Myers: Out with undisclosed injury

    Myers suffered an undisclosed injury that will sideline him versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Myers has underwhelmed offensively since joining the Stars, posting just two points in 11 outings. His absence from the lineup figures to have a minimal impact on fantasy managers but should open up more minutes for Lian Bichsel and Ilya Lyubushkin.

  • Blackhawks' Matt Grzelcyk: Out for remainder of season

    Grzelcyk (upper body) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 regular season, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

    Grzelcyk hasn't played since March 22 against Nashville because of the injury. He will conclude the campaign with 12 assists, 68 shots on goal, 54 blocked shots and 28 hits across 69 appearances. The 32-year-old blueliner will be eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer.

  • Blackhawks' Artyom Levshunov: Out for rest of season

    Levshunov (hand) will not play again in 2025-26, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

    Levshunov sustained a fracture in his left hand against the Islanders last week and played through the injury for a few games. The 20-year-old defenseman will now turn his attention to recovering and getting ready for the 2026-27 campaign, but it currently remains to be seen if Levshunov will undergo surgery to address his hand fracture.
