Colton Parayko D | STL
Blues' Colton Parayko: Scores 13th goal of season Sunday
Parayko scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Parayko gave the Blues the lead at the 14:13 mark of the second period with a wrister that went past Mackenzie Blackwood, and that was the defenseman's 13th goal of the campaign. Parayko has three goals, one assist, a plus-3 rating, 21 shots, 14 hits and 16 blocked shots over his last 10 appearances.

Devon Toews D | COL
Avalanche's Devon Toews: Scores vs. St. Louis
Toews scored a goal, took four shots, blocked a shot and posted a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.
Toews found the back of the twine for the first time since Jan. 14, when he bagged a goal in a 3-2 win over the Rangers, and he's up to seven tallies on the year. He's been contributing in more areas than just scoring, though, as this was the third time he cracked the scoresheet over his last four games. During that four-game stretch, the defenseman has one goal, three assists, seven shots, two hits and five blocked shots.

K'Andre Miller D | CAR
Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Pockets power-play assist
Miller logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
The Rangers' second power-play unit got them on the board late in the first period, with Miller setting up Will Cuylle for the goal. The 25-year-old Miller has three points over seven outings in February while continuing to play on the second pairing. The defenseman is at 14 points (two on the power play), 79 shots on net, 80 hits, 74 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 51 appearances. Miller would need a meteoric surge to get back to the 30-point mark, a level he's reached in each of the previous two campaigns.

Ian Cole D | UTA
Hockey Club's Ian Cole: Sticking in lineup amid slump
Cole has gone 14 games without a point dating back to Jan. 18.
The 36-year-old defenseman has held Utah's blue line together at times this season, but with Sean Durzi now healthy, Cole's usage may diminish. Even when the team was thin, Cole functioned more as a shutdown defenseman than a scorer. He's been pretty good in his role with 13 points, 50 shots on net, 51 PIM, 71 hits and 153 blocked shots over 58 appearances this season, but his fantasy utility is limited to deep formats that reward his physical play.

John Marino D | UTA
Hockey Club's John Marino: Snaps slump with helper
Marino logged an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.
Marino had a four-game assist streak at the end of January, but his offense ran cold for his first six outings in February. He found his way back on the scoresheet Sunday by setting up a Logan Cooley tally in the second period. Marino has seen power-play time occasionally this season, but with all of Mikhail Sergachev, Michael Kesselring and Sean Durzi healthy, Marino's unlikely to feature with the man advantage very often moving forward. The 27-year-old Marino is at six helpers, 16 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 16 appearances.

Shakir Mukhamadullin D | SJ
Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Earns first helper of season
Mukhamadullin logged an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
Mukhamadullin picked up his first assist since his most recent recall from AHL San Jose. The 23-year-old has played in four straight games and should continue to have a spot in the lineup while Jan Rutta (lower body) and Timothy Liljegren (undisclosed) are unavailable. Mukhamadullin is at two points, 12 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and eight hits through 14 appearances this season.

Jake Walman D | EDM
Sharks' Jake Walman: Secures first 30-point campaign
Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
Walman has logged three assists over eight contests since his last goal. He's still arguably the best blueliner the Sharks have, at least for fantasy. The 29-year-old is up to 30 points for the first time in his career, doing so in a mere 45 appearances. He's added 114 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 44 hits and a minus-1 rating while skating in a top-four role.

MacKenzie Weegar D | UTA
Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Posts power-play helper Sunday
Weegar registered a power-play assist, six shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Weegar's assist streak is up to six games, and five of his seven helpers in that span have come on the power play. The defenseman is showing plenty of consistency while featuring in a top-four role and on the first power-play unit. For the season, he's up to six goals, 26 helpers, 15 power-play points, 126 shots on net, 146 hits, 120 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 56 appearances. He won't repeat last season's 20-goal showing, but he's well on his way to his third season of 40-plus points over the last four years.

Erik Karlsson D | PIT
Penguins' Erik Karlsson: On a roll in February
Karlsson accounted for an even-strength assist, two blocked shots, one takeaway and a minus-3 rating in a team-high 27:54 of ice time Sunday in a 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
Karlsson helped out Ryan Shea's first goal of 2024-25 early in the final frame. Karlsson has yet to be held off the scoresheet through six games in February, having provided a goal and six helpers during that stretch. The right-shot blueliner's point streak is up to seven games overall. Karlsson is on pace to match the 56 points he produced over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. The 34-year-old continues to lead Pittsburgh on the back end with six markers and 34 helpers through 59 outings.

Joel Hanley D | CGY
Flames' Joel Hanley: Game-winner is first goal of season
Hanley scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Hanley's tally in the third period put the Flames ahead for good. It was his first goal of the campaign and his first career game-winner. The 33-year-old defenseman has carved out a fairly regular role lately, but he could be at risk of losing playing time to Kevin Bahl (illness) in the near future. Hanley has four points, 22 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 25 hits and a plus-4 rating across 28 appearances in 2024-25.
