Myers scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Myers only had to miss one game due to an undisclosed injury. He returned to a top-four role and saw 20:21 of ice time Saturday, contributing a first-period goal to put the Canucks ahead 2-0. The defenseman had failed to record a point over four contests prior to his injury. He's now at five goals, 22 points, 69 shots on net, 73 hits, 110 blocked shots, 72 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 62 appearances this season.

Hughes scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Hughes has a goal, an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two contests since returning from an undisclosed injury that cost him four games. The 25-year-old Hughes is up to 15 tallies, 62 points, 145 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 52 appearances. While his 2023-24 point total (92) is too far out of reach, Hughes could still match his 17-goal total from last season despite numerous injury absences.

Clarke managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 1-0 overtime win over the Predators.

Clarke has earned three points over his last four games. The 22-year-old looks to have regained some trust from head coach Jim Hiller -- Clarke logged 18:24 of ice time Saturday after not getting over the 18-minute mark in 20 straight appearances, which also included four healthy scratches. The 22-year-old blueliner is at 28 points, 104 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 61 appearances this season. The Kings have Kyle Burroughs and Jacob Moverare as healthy extras on the blue line, but Clarke's role doesn't appear to be at risk for now.

Lilleberg had two helpers and three hits Saturday in a 6-2 win over Boston.

It was Lilleberg's first mult-point NHL game. The 24-year-old Norwegian is up to 16 assists in 61 games this season, but he's still looking for his first NHL goal. Lilleberg does have 97 hits, which gives him a bit of potential as a category stacker in leagues that count that stat.

Middleton scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Blues.

Middleton was in the right place at the right time, picking up the puck after some miscommunication by the Blues in their own zone. He fired home the Wild's lone goal of the game at 12:47 of the second period. Middleton ended his 10-game point drought and is now at a career-high eight goals while adding 11 assists, 85 shots on net, 80 hits, 139 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 56 appearances. He'll continue to see heavy defensive minutes while Jonas Brodin (lower body) is sidelined.

Faulk recorded an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Faulk has three helpers over his last four games and six assists across his last 10 outings. The 32-year-old defenseman is taking on heavier defensive minutes in the absence of Colton Parayko (knee), but that extra ice time could also help Faulk put up more points. For the season, he's at 25 points, 104 shots on net, 74 hits, 89 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 63 contests. His all-around production has value in fantasy even though he's nowhere near his 50-point campaign from 2022-23.

Fowler notched two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Fowler has five helpers over his last four contests, all of which have come on the road. The 33-year-old defenseman helped out on Brayden Schenn's opening goal and the first tally of Jordan Kyrou's hat trick in this game. Fowler continues to log big minutes in a top-pairing role and will be relied on defensively while Colton Parayko (knee) is out. Fowler has 27 points, 66 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 53 appearances between the Blues and the Ducks this season.

Hedman had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-2 victory over Boston.

Hedman opened the game early in the first period when he scored on a scramble in front of the net. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games as well as six points (three goals, three assists) and 12 shots in his past five contests. Hedman's one of the NHL's best all-around defenders and a fantasy pillar.

Raddysh had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-2 win over Boston.

Raddysh has really stepped up his game in the last two weeks. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two outings, and the 29-year-old has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) and 10 shots in his past six contests. He is now just two points from equaling his career mark of 33, which was set last season in 82 games. This year, Raddysh has done it in 57, and he's already matched his seven power-play points from 2023-24, too. He has some deep league value, and he's widely available.

Borgen provided an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Borgen has earned three points over eight contests in March. The 28-year-old helped out on Artemi Panarin's second-period tally in this game. Borgen continues to offer physical play and shutdown defense in a top-four role for the Rangers. He's at 11 points, 63 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 108 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 69 appearances between the Rangers and the Kraken this season.
