Dahlin recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Dahlin has three points over two contests in April, continuing his strong play from March (11 points in 15 games). The defenseman helped out on Jason Zucker's game-tying tally in the third period Saturday. Dahlin reached the 60-point mark for the second time in the last three years, doing so with 14 goals, 46 helpers, 177 shots on net, 89 hits, 95 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 66 appearances in a top-pairing role. He is tied with Victor Hedman for sixth place in points among all defensemen, though Dahlin got to the mark with seven fewer games played this year.

Chabot notched an assist and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over Florida.

Chabot helped Ottawa inch closer to securing a playoff spot when he set up Matthew Highmore's empty-netter to seal the win. As a result of that insurance tally, the 28-year-old Chabot reached the 30-assist mark for the fifth time in his nine-year NHL career. The 2015 first-round selection has accumulated six goals, 36 points and a plus-12 rating across 75 appearances in 2024-25. Even though Jake Sanderson has taken over as Ottawa's No. 1 defenseman, Chabot is still capable of chipping in offensively when needed. The Senators' remaining schedule is far from a gauntlet, and Chabot could provide meaningful value for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Toews recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Toews has two goals and eight assists over his last eight contests, including four points over three games in April. The defenseman made a late contribution Saturday by setting up a Sam Malinski goal at 19:51 of the third period. Toews' surge has gotten his offense into familiar territory -- he's at 43 points through 74 outings, but he'll likely fall short of the 50-point mark for the first time in four years. The 31-year-old has added 136 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-31 rating.

Makar posted an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

The helper was Makar's 91st point of the season, surpassing his previous career high of 90 from the 2023-24 campaign. He also skated in his 78th contest of the season, which is a personal best for a defenseman who's had more than his share of injuries early in his career. He's at 30 goals, 61 helpers, 243 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 50 hits and a plus-31 rating in 2024-25, and he's earned three goals and four assists during his active four-game point streak.

Malinski scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Malinski ended a six-game point drought when he scored at 19:51 of the third period. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't been consistent on offense this season, but he's getting an extended run in the lineup while Josh Manson (upper body) is out of action. Malinski has four goals, 13 points, 103 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-11 rating over 72 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Fowler logged three assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Avalanche.

Fowler helped out on both of Zachary Bolduc's power-play goals as well as an empty-netter by Robert Thomas that stood as the game-winner. The 33-year-old Fowler has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last six contests, racking up two goals and seven assists in that span. The defenseman is now at 38 points (seven on the power play), 79 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 64 appearances this season. He missed the 40-point mark by one in 2023-24, but he's within striking distance of getting there for the third time in four years and has the momentum to do it.

Carlo notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

This was Carlo's second helper in 14 contests since he was traded to Toronto from Boston. The 28-year-old defenseman has played in a top-four role as a shutdown blueliner, though he's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in just three games as a Maple Leaf, including Saturday's outing. He's up to 11 points, 72 shots on net, 85 hits, 146 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 77 appearances this season.

Rielly logged two assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Rielly earned his first multi-point effort since his stunning four-point game in Boston on Feb. 25. Over the 17 contests in between, he was limited to five helpers. He set up both of William Nylander's tallies -- one on a rebound and one with a pass -- in this contest. Rielly is now at 37 points, 117 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 76 games overall. He's still at risk of falling short of the 40-point mark for the first time in a full-length season since 2016-17.

Marino did not finish Saturday's game versus the Jets after taking a puck to the face, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Head coach Andre Tourigny had no update on Marino's status, but that's not uncommon for injuries that occur late in the third period. Marino can be considered day-to-day until further information is available. Utah's next game is Tuesday at home versus the Kraken, and if Marino can't play, then Robert Bortuzzo or Nick DeSimone would enter the lineup.

Sanderson produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over Florida.

Sanderson netted his 11th goal of the campaign before helping out on a Drake Batherson power-play tally in the first period. After being held to one point over the last four games of March, the 22-year-old Sanderson has found the back of the net in three straight contests and has added a helper since the calendar flipped to April. For the season, the left-shot blueliner has accounted for 42 helpers, 53 points, 172 shots on net and a minus-14 rating while averaging 24:25 of ice time over 75 appearances. Sanderson will have an opportunity to add to his career-best totals against the Blue Jackets on Sunday.
