  • Sharks' Timothy Liljegren: Gets back in goal column

    Liljegren scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

    Liljegren has two points over his last three outings. The 26-year-old defenseman has played a majority of the time lately, but he offers only modest upside on offense. For the season, he's at one goal, 11 points, 34 shots on net, 36 hits, 83 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 42 appearances.

  • Josh Manson D | COL

    Avalanche's Josh Manson: Nets game-winner Wednesday

    Manson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Manson went 11 games without a goal after posting two goals and two assists versus the Senators on Jan. 8. He had four assists in that span before snapping the goal drought with the game-winner Wednesday. The veteran defenseman is up to five goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net, 129 hits, 76 blocked shots, 64 PIM and a plus-37 rating over 55 appearances. While he lacks power-play production, Manson has been excellent in every other area this season as he benefits from playing on a high-scoring team.

  • Predators' Nick Perbix: Pockets helper

    Perbix logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Perbix ended a 16-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old defenseman had 14 shots on net and 15 blocked shots over that span while seeing steady top-four minutes. He's produced just nine points with 54 shots, 55 blocks, 14 PIM, 24 hits and a minus-13 rating over 53 outings this season, which is production too low to help in most fantasy formats.

  • Roman Josi D | NSH

    Predators' Roman Josi: Two points in overtime loss

    Josi scored a goal on eight shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Wild.

    Josi has seven multi-point efforts over his last 12 games, including in each of his last three outings. That's a lot of momentum for him to take into his time with Switzerland at the Olympics, where he'll likely lead his country's blue line. The 35-year-old has 11 goals and 39 points in 44 outings this season, topping his totals from 53 games last year. He's added 124 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating in 2025-26.

  • Wild's Zach Bogosian: Nabs helper Wednesday

    Bogosian logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

    This was Bogosian's second game back after missing 13 due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old should hold onto a third-pairing role as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a challenge. He's now at five points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances this season.

  • Quinn Hughes D | MIN

    Wild's Quinn Hughes: Two more assists

    Hughes logged two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

    Hughes goes into his stint with Team USA at the Olympics riding a 10-game point streak. He's amassed two goals, 16 assists (seven on the power play) and 26 shots on net in that span. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is up to 57 points (25 on the power play), 143 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances between the Wild and the Canucks.

  • Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Delivers game-winner in overtime

    Spurgeon scored the game-winning goal, added four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

    Spurgeon has two goals and an assist over his last five games. The 36-year-old defenseman secured the win 4:14 into overtime Wednesday, ending a back-and-forth game. For the season, he's produced six goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-1 rating over 58 appearances while seeing steady top-four minutes.

  • Kings' Mikey Anderson: Placed on injured reserve

    Anderson was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

    Anderson missed Wednesday's game against Seattle and will sit out Thursday in Vegas as well. The 26-year-old blueliner has two goals and seven assists in 54 games, including just two helpers in his last 26 appearances.

  • Lane Hutson D | MON

    Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Bends twine in win

    Hutson scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

    Hutson has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. The 21-year-old defenseman reached the 10-goal mark for the season with this tally. He's added 48 assists, 16 power-play points, 91 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 57 appearances. Hutson has quickly established himself as one of the top fantasy blueliners in the league in his two NHL seasons.

  • Blue Jackets' Ivan Provorov: Pots goal Wednesday

    Provorov scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Provorov ended his 18-game goal drought with a first-period tally. The 29-year-old defenseman earned five assists with a plus-9 rating, 38 shots on net and 31 blocked shots in that span. He's up to a total of six goals, 20 points, 111 shots, 94 blocks, 26 PIM, 23 hits and a plus-15 rating over 56 appearances. Provorov's steady defense keeps him in a top-four role, giving him appeal in deeper fantasy formats.
