  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Helps out on power play

    Bouchard notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

    Bouchard helped out on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tally late in the second period. Over 11 outings in March, Bouchard has four goals and six assists, with five of those 10 points coming on the power play. The defenseman is up to 55 points (22 on the power play), 203 shots on net, 98 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating across 70 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Registers two helpers in win

    Ekholm notched a pair of assists in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

    One of the helpers came on the power play as Ekholm set up an Adam Henrique goal in the first period. With five points over three outings since returning from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, Ekholm has returned in fine form. The 34-year-old blueliner is up to 32 points (seven on the power play), 140 shots on net, 95 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 63 appearances in 2024-25. He's on pace to record at least 35 points for the fourth time in his career.

  • Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Supplies two helpers in win

    Nurse recorded two assists, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.

    Nurse's first helper was on an Adam Henrique power-play tally in the first period, and he also assisted on the first of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' three goals in the game. The 30-year-old Nurse has erupted for four assists over his last two games. The defenseman is up to 28 points, 162 shots on net, 135 hits, 120 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 65 appearances this season. Barring a colossal slump, he should be able to get over the 30-point mark.

    Stars' Esa Lindell: Puts away goal in overtime win

    Lindell scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

    Lindell scored for the first time since Jan. 25 versus the Blues, putting the Stars up 2-0 at 8:59 of the first period. The defenseman has two points and a plus-9 rating across 10 outings in March as he continues to handle a shutdown role in the absence of Miro Heiskanen (knee). Lindell is up to five tallies, 22 points, 88 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and a plus-32 rating through 69 contests this season.

  • Canucks' Victor Mancini: Snags helper

    Mancini provided an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

    Mancini was scratched for the previous two games, but he drew back into the lineup against his former team. He was able to get on the scoresheet with a helper on a Drew O'Connor tally in the third period. Mancini has a total of seven points, 25 shots on net, 26 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 23 appearances between the Rangers and the Canucks this season. He'll likely continue to compete with Elias Pettersson for playing time on the third pairing.

  • Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Nets goal in win

    Miller scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

    Miller contributed a goal in a back-and-forth third period, giving the Rangers a 3-2 lead. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to five points and a minus-2 rating through 12 outings in March, with his last goal coming March 2 versus the Predators. For the season, he's up to six tallies, 19 points, 96 shots on net, 91 hits, 93 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 65 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Lends assist Saturday

    Edvinsson posted an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Edvinsson has three helpers, 19 blocks, 16 PIM and 12 shots on net over 10 outings in March. The offense has slipped for the 22-year-old blueliner this month, but he remains firmly in a top-four role. He's at 26 points, 66 shots on net, 121 blocks, 66 hits, 52 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 65 contests this season, and he's been able to provide decent fantasy value in some formats despite a lack of power-play time.

  • Red Wings' Moritz Seider: Nabs helper with man advantage

    Seider logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Seider has been limited to four points, all on the power play, over 10 contests in March. The 23-year-old's slowdown on offense isn't cause for concern -- it's part of a larger struggle for the Red Wings, who have scored three or more goals in just four games this month. Seider is at 39 points (21 on the power play), 141 shots on net, 182 hits, 156 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 69 appearances. He should be able to exceed the 42-point totals he's posted in each of the last two campaigns.

  • Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Provides assist

    Korczak notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Korczak snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He has five assists over 13 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, and he continues to hold down the last spot on the blue line in the absence of Shea Theodore (arm). Korczak is now at eight assists, 25 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 31 appearances this season.

  • Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Finds assist in Saturday's win

    McNabb notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

    McNabb has four helpers over his last eight outings, and he's also posted a plus-3 rating in that span. The 34-year-old blueliner set up the second of Tomas Hertl's three goals in this contest. McNabb continues to get the job done as a physical shutdown defender in the Golden Knights' bottom four. He has 17 points, a plus-35 rating, 143 blocked shots, 113 hits and 77 shots on net over 69 appearances.
