Evan Bouchard D | EDM
Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Another two-assist game
Bouchard logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Bouchard has three multi-assist games over his last five outings. He's earned eight assists from his last six contests as he continues to thrive in a top-pairing role and on the first power-play unit. The defenseman is up to 62 points (25 on the power play), 211 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 75 appearances. Injuries have hindered the Oilers lately, but Bouchard has yet to miss a game this season.

Luke Schenn D | VAN
Jets' Luke Schenn: Lends helper in win
Schenn notched an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Schenn was back in the lineup after a one-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Considering how he was playing physical Thursday, he seems to be no worse for wear. The 35-year-old is up to seven points, 70 shots on net, 280 hits, 98 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 71 appearances between the Jets and the Predators this season. As long as he stays healthy, he looks poised to continue playing a second-pairing role for the Jets until Neal Pionk (lower body) can return.

Logan Stanley D | NYI
Jets' Logan Stanley: Garners helper in win
Stanley logged an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Stanley has three helpers over six games since he returned from a five-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old remains mostly confined to the third pairing, so there's not a lot of fantasy upside to be had. He's produced 13 points in 57 contests this season, matching his career-high output from a 58-game sample in 2021-22. Stanley also has 44 shots on net, 78 PIM, 78 hits, 69 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating this season.

Colin Miller D | WPG
Jets' Colin Miller: Strikes on power play in win
Miller scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Miller has picked up time on the second power-play unit while Neal Pionk (lower body) recovers from his injury. This was Miller's first power-play point of the season, though he's collected a total of three points across his last six contests while filling a larger role. He's still seeing bottom-four minutes most of the time, so he's not a strong fantasy option. The defenseman has four goals, 10 assists, 63 shots on net, 84 hits, 47 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 58 outings.

Olen Zellweger D | BUF
Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Nets lone goal in loss
Zellweger scored a goal and blocked five shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.
Zellweger has found his game late in the season, earning two goals and three assists over his last six contests. The 21-year-old has played in every game since the trade deadline, and he looks to have more job security than Pavel Mintyukov, who was scratched Thursday. Zellweger is up to seven goals, 19 points, 116 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 34 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 57 appearances.

Rasmus Andersson D | LV
Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Contributes assist Thursday
Andersson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Andersson had the secondary helper on Blake Coleman's goal early in the third period. With a point in each of the last two contests, Andersson is playing well to begin April after a moderately productive March. The 28-year-old defenseman has 30 points (nine on the power play), 150 shots on net, 184 blocks, 56 PIM and a minus-31 rating across 75 appearances.
-
MacKenzie Weegar D | UTA
Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Snags helper Thursday
Weegar notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Weegar helped out on Nazem Kadri's goal just 16 seconds into the game. This was Weeger's second assist over the last three contests following a stretch of four outings without a point. The defenseman continues to impress as an all-around force in a top-four role. He's at 43 points, 168 shots on net, 210 hits, 174 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 74 appearances.

Sean Durzi D | NYR
Hockey Club's Sean Durzi: Helpers in consecutive contests
Durzi logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Durzi has a helper in each of the first two games of April after being limited to three points over 14 contests in March. The 26-year-old defenseman is up to nine points, 29 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating over 24 appearances. This was his first power-play point of the season -- he hasn't had the same number of chances in that situation with Mikhail Sergachev firmly on the top unit in 2024-25.

Jake Sanderson D | OTT
Senators' Jake Sanderson: Second straight 10-goal season
Sanderson scored a goal in a 2-1 victory over the Lightning on Tuesday.
Sanderson's goal stood as the winner. He put in a wrist shot from the top of the slot on the power play about five minutes into the second period. It was Sanderson's 10th goal of the season and third in his last four contests. He's the fifth defenseman in franchise history to record consecutive 10-goal seasons, joining Erik Karlsson, Wade Redden, Zdeno Chara and Steve Duchesne. Overall, Sanderson has 10 goals, 41 assists and 170 shots, with 27 of his points coming with the man advantage.

Drew Doughty D | LA
Kings' Drew Doughty: Collects two more points
Doughty scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over Utah.
Doughty earned his second multi-point effort in the last three games. The defenseman helped out on Adrian Kempe's second-period tally before scoring on a long-range flip into an empty net. Doughty is up to 16 points, 40 shots on net, 25 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 27 appearances. He'd be on pace for roughly 48 points over the full 82 games had he not lost significant time to a broken ankle at the start of the year. That's production in line with each of his last two campaigns.
