Pietrangelo recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

Pietrangelo put an end to his 10-game point drought with the helper. He went minus-6 with 17 shots on net and 24 blocked shots in that span. The 35-year-old defenseman is not playing like he did in his prime, but he remains an effective top-four blueliner for the Golden Knights. This season, he's at three goals, 23 helpers, 103 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 56 appearances. His assist Thursday was his first power-play point of the campaign, and he'll likely see more time with the man advantage as long as Shea Theodore (arm) is out of the lineup.

Hanifin logged two assists and five shots on goal in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

One of Hanifin's helpers came on the power play. The defenseman continues to be streaky, though February's been fairly kind to him -- he put up five assists over seven outings for the month. The 28-year-old is up to 26 points, 109 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-1 rating across 59 appearances. Hanifin could have the chance to sustain his momentum on offense while seeing more power-play time in the absence of Shea Theodore (arm).

Hague scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Blackhawks.

Hague scored at 8:57 of the first period, putting the Golden Knights ahead 2-1. They maintained the lead the rest of the way despite the Blackhawks making it interesting. The tally snapped a four-game point drought for the defenseman, and it was his first goal since Jan. 2 against the Flyers. For the season, Hague has four goals, nine points, 57 shots on net, 58 hits, 50 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 48 appearances.

Myers scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

Myers opened the scoring at 3:17 of the first period and also set up a Pius Suter tally later in the frame. This was Myers' first multi-point effort in a month -- his last was Jan. 27 versus the Blues. The 35-year-old defenseman has two goals and five assists across his last 11 outings, though his offense tends to come and go at times. For the season, he's collected four goals, 16 helpers, 62 shots on net, 66 PIM, 60 hits and 101 blocked shots over 56 appearances in a top-four role.

LaCombe scored a goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

LaCombe is on a four-game point streak since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He has a goal and four assists in that span, though this was his only game during the streak where he was limited to one shot on net. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to step up on the Ducks' top pairing. He's now at 10 goals, 29 points, 106 shots, 87 blocked shots, 42 hits and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances this season.

Maatta logged an assist in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.

Maatta has gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive games for the third time this season with an assist in each of the last two contests. He has yet to stretch a streak to three games in 2024-25. He's at 14 points, 52 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 57 appearances between Utah and Detroit this season. Maatta is playing in a bottom-four role on paper, though he has the defensive chops to handle heavier minutes based on the game situation.

Sergachev notched two assists (one on the power play), five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.

Sergachev helped out on Barrett Hayton's opening goal in the first period and a Clayton Keller insurance tally in the third. This was Sergachev's first game back on the scoresheet since the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- he was held without a point over the previous three contests. The 26-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 28 helpers, 94 shots on net, 105 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 55 appearances. He's within striking distance of securing the third 40-point campaign of his career, though his career high of 64 points from 2022-23 is likely too far out of reach.

Durzi scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.

Durzi restored a two-goal advantage for Utah just under two minutes after Frederick Gaudreau got the Wild on the board. The goal was Durzi's first of the campaign, and it's his second point over four contests since he returned from a shoulder injury. While listed on Utah's third defense pairing, he's often seen top-four minutes at the expense of Michael Kesselring. Durzi is up to four points, 13 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-4 rating over eight outings in 2024-25.

Romanov scored a goal in a 2-1 win over Boston on Thursday.

Romanov came out of the penalty box and broke in 2-on-1 with Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who fed the defender who beat Jeremy Swayman short side from the left circle. Romanov has a goal in each of his last two games, and he remains on pace for a slight uptick in production over his career-high 22 points. Still, Romanov isn't a volume shooter (66 in 44 games), and he delivers nothing on special teams. Any fantasy merit comes from his ability to block (114) and hit (100).

Pionk scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.

Pionk's goal at 11:05 of the first period tied the game at 1-1 briefly, but the Predators answered on Thomas Novak's power-play tally just over four minutes later. Over seven outings in February, Pionk has two goals and two assists. The 29-year-old blueliner has nine goals this season, one shy of his career high from 2022-23, and he's already up to 37 points, 107 shots on net, 100 hits, 91 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 60 appearances. With a quarter of the campaign to go, he has a good chance of matching his career-best 45 points from the 2019-20 campaign.
