Wilsby logged two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Wilsby has three helpers over his last three outings. The 25-year-old has mostly played in a third-pairing role since returning from a lower-body injury, but he could work his way into a larger role if Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) misses time after exiting early Saturday. Wilsby has 15 points, 53 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 25 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances this season.

Josi logged two power-play assists, four shots on goal, four PIM and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Josi helped out on first-period tallies by Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos. The 35-year-old Josi has earned three helpers over two contests to start April, a positive turn after he ended March on a three-game skid. The defenseman has crossed the 50-point mark, sitting at 12 goals, 39 helpers, 22 power-play points, 172 shots on net, 99 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 64 outings this season.

Bouchard scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Bouchard has two goals and eight assists over his last seven outings. He broke up Carter Hart's shutout bid late in the second period, but the Oilers didn't carry any momentum into the third period. Bouchard continues to dazzle on offense this season with 21 goals, 88 points, 215 shots on net and a plus-23 rating over 77 appearances. He doesn't have much else to prove in the regular season, though the spotlight is always on his defensive work during the postseason.

Andersson scored a power-play goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Andersson is on a four-game point streak (three goals, two assists). The 29-year-old defenseman looks to be finding a groove after a mostly quiet first two months following his trade from the Flames. For the season, Andersson is up to 16 goals, 43 points, 164 shots on net, 140 blocked shots, 69 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 76 appearances. He should continue to see steady top-four minutes.

Lauzon scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

The second-period tally was Lauzon's first goal since Feb. 22, 2024, when he was with the Predators. He ultimately went 112 contests without scoring, though his offense has rebounded a bit this year with 13 points across 63 appearances, one off his career high. The hard-hitting defenseman has added 66 shots on net, 89 PIM, 94 blocked shots and 234 hits in a third-pairing role this season.

Mahura has played just once in 19 games since the Olympic break after sitting out Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

The Kraken have even tried seven defensemen in the lineup recently, but Mahura has remained a scratch while Cale Fleury picks up the extra minutes. Mahura is under contract for 2026-27, so he's likely looking at another year of a part-time role. He's contributed just three points, 13 shots on net, 22 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 21 appearances on the year, which has seen the Kraken avoid an injury crisis on the blue line.

Kaiser notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Kaiser ended a seven-game point drought with this effort. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 16 points, 71 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 44 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 72 appearances. Kaiser is seeing steady top-four minutes late in the year, though he is trending toward more of a shutdown role in the long run, as he's rarely given any power-play time.

Dahlin tallied a goal, distributed an assist and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.

Dahlin recorded his third consecutive multi-point outing in Saturday's clash, as he played a hand in both of Buffalo's tallies in the first period. Overall, he is up to 18 goals, 51 assists, 188 shots on net, 65 hits and 77 blocked shots this season. The 25-year-old blueliner has a solid chance to match or surpass his career high of 73 points across 78 games during the 2022-23 season. He's put together one of the best all-around seasons among defensemen and could end up being a candidate for this year's Norris Trophy. He is an elite option on the fantasy blue line for the remainder of the regular season and beyond.

Hague sustained an undisclosed injury and won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

Hague's injury leaves the Predators down a blueliner in a critical matchup. The 27-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Monday versus the Kings, Ryan Ufko will likely draw back into the lineup.

Chychrun tallied a goal, recorded an assist and fired two shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

Chychrun found the back of the net just over three minutes into regulation before sliding the primary helper on Connor McMichael's goal two minutes later. With the pair of points, Chychrun is up to 25 goals, 59 points, 214 shots on net, 56 hits and 107 blocked shots across 75 appearances this season. The veteran blueliner has been hot as of late with eight points and eight blocked shots over his last five games. He's on pace for the first 60-plus point regular season of his 10-year career and remains a strong player to roster in all fantasy formats for the foreseeable future.
