Morgan Rielly D | TOR
Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Massive four-point game
Rielly had a goal and three assists Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime victory over the Bruins.
It was a massive game for the struggling talent, who last put up a multi-point game Nov. 8 (two assists). In fact, Rielly had just two multi-point games this season prior to Tuesday. Now, he has eight points (two goals, six assists) in his last seven contests. Half of those points have come with the man advantage. Rielly could be an excellent fantasy pickup for the final stretch of this season. He's had a rough year, but he hasn't lost his skill.

Philip Broberg D | STL
Blues' Philip Broberg: Manages assist in win
Broberg put up an assist and fired two shots on goal in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
Broberg's offense has slowed down dramatically -- he has just four points over 20 contests since the start of 2025. The 23-year-old defenseman remains in a top-four role, but that could change if the Blues add any reinforcements to the blue line before the trade deadline. Broberg is still enjoying the best season of his career with 18 points, 66 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 33 hits and a plus-8 rating across 46 appearances, production that may be enough to generate value in deeper fantasy formats.

Justin Faulk D | DET
Blues' Justin Faulk: Provides helper Tuesday
Faulk logged an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
Faulk has three helpers over his last two contests following a six-game slump. The 32-year-old blueliner helped out on the first of Zachary Bolduc's two tallies in this contest. While offense has come and gone at times for Faulk this season, he still has a reasonable 22 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 55 outings overall while seeing time in the top four and on the power play.

Colton Parayko D | STL
Blues' Colton Parayko: Supplies pair of assists
Parayko logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
Parayko had gone nine games without an assist, though he had three goals in that span. He helped out on goals by Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours in this blowout win. Parayko is enjoying a career year in 2024-25 -- his 13 goals are already a personal best, and he's at 32 points through 58 outings, putting him on pace to finally get past the 35-point mark that he's reached in three separate seasons but never exceeded. The 31-year-old blueliner has added 112 shots on net, 130 blocked shots, 87 hits and a plus-6 rating while seeing heavy minutes on the top pairing, though he was given some rest with just 17:50 of ice time due to the lopsided score Tuesday.

Cam Fowler D | STL
Blues' Cam Fowler: Racks up three points in win
Fowler scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
Fowler's second-period tally chased Seattle goalie Joey Daccord from the game. This was Fowler's first multi-point effort since Jan. 4 -- he had six points over his previous 17 contests, which is solid production for a blueliner but nothing special in the fantasy arena. For the season, the 33-year-old is up to seven goals, 15 assists, 59 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances between the Blues and the Ducks. Fowler remains a decent depth option in fantasy since he's seeing top-four minutes and power-play time.

Jared Spurgeon D | MIN
Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Logs power-play assist in loss
Spurgeon notched a power-play assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Spurgeon has earned four helpers over his last four games, but this was his first power-play point in his last seven outings. The 35-year-old didn't see any time with the man advantage in Saturday's game between these two teams, but it looks like he's back in the mix. For the season, he's at 21 points (five on the power play), 74 shots on net, 34 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 43 appearances.

Victor Hedman D | TB
Lightning's Victor Hedman: Consistent goal scoring every year
Hedman scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Hedman scored on a slap shot from the point on a 5-on-3 power play. He now has nine goals, and he's one snipe shy of putting up double-digit goals for the 10th time in his last 12 seasons. Hedman's 45 points put him squarely in the top-10 in the NHL. He also has 96 blocked shots, which projects to 140 on the season -- that would be a new career mark if he can sustain the effort.

Albert Johansson D | DET
Red Wings' Albert Johansson: Ends slump with assist
Johansson produced an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Johansson snapped a seven-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman is handling a top-six role in the absence of Jeff Petry (undisclosed), but Johansson's usage is mostly defensive in nature. He's produced a mere six points with 27 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-4 rating over 37 appearances as a rookie this season.
-
Erik Gustafsson D | DET
Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Picks up assist
Gustafsson logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Gustafsson endured a 12-game point drought from Jan. 18 to Feb. 22, but he's now earned an assist in consecutive contests. The 32-year-old blueliner is seeing power-play time, so his offense should bounce back to some extent over the stretch run, though he is limited to third-pairing minutes at even strength. Gustafsson has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 50 outings this season.

Simon Edvinsson D | DET
Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Buries pair of goals in win
Edvinsson scored twice, levied three hits, blocked six shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Edvinsson unleashed two big blasts from the point, the first tying the game at 13:12 of the second period and the second putting the Red Wings ahead for good at 11:35 of the final frame. This was the defenseman's first multi-point effort since Dec. 3 against the Bruins. The 22-year-old has looked good in a top-four role this season, though he is still finding his way on offense. He's at seven goals, 23 points, 54 shots on net, 55 hits, 102 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-12 rating across 54 appearances this season.
