Vaakanainen notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Vaakanainen has played in the last two games. The 27-year-old defenseman's path to playing time is a little clearer when Scott Morrow is in the AHL, though Vaakanainen will still need to fend off Vincent Iorio for minutes. Through 29 appearances this season, Vaakanainen has five helpers, 21 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 14 PIM, so he's not much of a consideration in most fantasy formats.

Forsling logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Forsling had gone nine games without a point prior to Tuesday. The 29-year-old defenseman has worn the Panthers' struggles this season, perhaps more than most of the team's players. The defensive stalwart has 22 points, 85 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 45 PIM, 42 hits and a minus-6 rating over 64 appearances, putting him at risk of missing the 30-point mark for the first time in five years.

Mikkola scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Mikkola has just three goals this season, two of which have come over his last three contests. The 29-year-old defenseman won't sustain his recent success on offense, but he offers some upside in deep fantasy formats thanks to his physical play. He's now at 11 points, 64 shots on net, 104 hits, 75 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 64 appearances.

Reilly logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Reilly has filled in for Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) over the last two games and will continue to do so for a while longer. The 32-year-old Reilly has seen limited playing time since the Hurricanes' defense has been mostly healthy since early December. Over 31 appearances this season, Reilly has earned eight points, 48 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 16 PIM, 15 hits and a plus-11 rating.

Doughty scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Doughty has three points over his last four games for one of his better stretches of the campaign. The 36-year-old blueliner is up to 17 points in 54 outings overall, matching his point total from just 30 regular-season contests in 2024-25. Doughty has added 76 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 30 PIM and 24 hits this season while maintaining a top-four role.

Lohrei scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.

Lohrei ended a nine-game point drought with his tally to open the scoring at 3:44 of the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman continues to fill a bottom-four role, though he also remains in the power-play mix despite his recent lack of offense. For the season, Lohrei has seven goals, 24 points, 60 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 59 appearances.

Faulk produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Florida.

In his second game for Detroit, Faulk made a significant impact. He scored his 12th goal of the season midway through the second period before helping to set up a Marco Kasper tally early in the third. Faulk is up to 34 points in 63 games on the season between the Red Wings and Blues. However, he won't see the kind of power-play time in Detroit that he did in St. Louis while working behind Moritz Seider.

Nikishin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

Both points came in the third period, with the power-play tally being his fourth of the season and second in as many games. Nikishin has taken over the top spot with the man advantage for the Hurricanes while Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) is sidelined, and the 24-year-old rookie is running with the opportunity. On the season, Nikishin has nine goals and 25 points in 63 games, including eight power-play points.

Karlsson notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Carolina.

Both helpers came on goals by Bryan Rust, including the game-tying tally inside the final minute of the third period. Karlsson has found a groove since the Olympic break. Over the last seven games, the veteran blueliner has produced two goals and nine points.

McAvoy scored the overtime winner in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Kings.

The 28-year-old blueliner took a feed from David Pastrnak and beat Darcy Kuemper with a backhander just 39 seconds into the extra frame. It was McAvoy's first game-winning goal of the season, and it continued a hot streak that has seen him rack up five goals and 21 points over the last 18 games.
