Philip Broberg D | STL
Blues' Philip Broberg: Best game of season Tuesday
Broberg notched one goal, three assists, a hit, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Montreal.
Broberg recorded his fourth multi-point game of the season Tuesday, but this outing was his best performance of the entire campaign, with the 23-year-old defender getting a hand in four of the team's six goals. Broberg continues to have a career-best season in his fourth year in the league, and he's up to 19 helpers and 27 total points across 60 appearances. He's not much of a fantasy option in most formats, particularly due to his role in the second defensive pairing, but he's getting the job done this season and is certainly turning heads with his play for a red-hot St. Louis team that has won seven games in a row.

Jacob Bernard-Docker D | DET
Sabres' Jacob Bernard-Docker: Nets tying goal
Bernard-Docker scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.
Bernard-Docker has three points over three games since he entered the Sabres' lineup. His quick success in a third-pairing role could make it tough for Jacob Bryson to see much playing time down the stretch. Bernard-Docker is already one point shy of matching his production over 25 contests with the Senators prior to the trade deadline. Overall, the defenseman has seven points, 20 shots, 27 blocks, 24 hits and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances this season.

Jake Christiansen D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Available for Friday
Christiansen (upper body) has been medically cleared Wednesday and is an option to play Friday versus Vancouver, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Christiansen has missed Columbus' past five games due to the injury. He has a goal, eight points, 47 hits and 64 blocks over 65 appearances in 2024-25. It's possible Christiansen will be a healthy scratch Friday, but if he does draw into the lineup, it would likely be as part of the third pairing.

Marc Del Gaizo D | NYR
Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Two helpers in Tuesday's win
Del Gaizo picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
He had a hand in Luke Evangelista tallies in the second and third periods. Del Gaizo has taken on a significant role on Nashville's injury-plagued blue line -- over 14 games since his late-February recall from AHL Milwaukee, the 25-year-old has averaged 18:06 of ice time while producing a goal and five points, as well as 28 shots on net, 23 hits and 15 blocked shots.

Janis Moser D | TB
Lightning's J.J. Moser: Draws helper in big win
Moser recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.
Moser helped out on an Anthony Cirelli goal in the first period, the third of four tallies in a span of 3:47 by the Lightning. The 25-year-old Moser has just two helpers over 16 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury in February. His first season with the Lightning has seen him handle more defensive duties than he had with the Coyotes over the previous three campaigns. The Swiss blueliner is at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-15 rating across 43 appearances.

Braden Schneider D | NYR
Rangers' Braden Schneider: Records helper Tuesday
Schneider posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.
Schneider has a helper in each of the last two contests, and he's up to four points over his last nine games. The 23-year-old defenseman's role has shrunk again since Adam Fox returned from an upper-body injury, but Schneider is a lock to be in the lineup down the stretch. He's up to 18 points, 89 shots on net, 128 hits, 132 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 72 appearances. Schneider's one point from matching his 82-game total from the 2023-24 regular season, and two points would give him a new career high.

Vince Dunn D | SEA
Kraken's Vince Dunn: Provides assist in overtime loss
Dunn logged an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
Dunn set up a Tye Kartye go-ahead goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Dunn is playing steady all-around hockey lately with six helpers over his last 10 contests. The defenseman is up to 34 points, 123 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 52 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Daniil Miromanov D | CGY
Flames' Daniil Miromanov: Garners helper in win
Miromanov notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Miromanov has two points over his last three contests. His playing time is still limited in a third-pairing role, but he's been in the lineup for four straight contests, which suggests he's surpassed Brayden Pachal in the hierarchy on the blue line. Miromanov is at nine points, 51 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 42 appearances.

Rasmus Andersson D | LV
Flames' Rasmus Andersson: Reaches 10-goal mark
Andersson scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Andersson tallied at 15:49 of the third period, briefly giving the Flames a 3-2 lead. The Kraken answered before the end of the game, so Andersson didn't get to be the hero Tuesday. The 28-year-old defenseman has turned up the offense with two goals and five assists over his last seven contests. He is one of 16 blueliners in the league with at least 10 goals this year, but he has the fewest points (28) among that group. Andersson has added 137 shots on net, 167 blocked shots, 52 PIM and a minus-26 rating over 70 appearances in a season full of mixed results.

Simon Edvinsson D | DET
Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Adds another helper
Edvinsson recorded an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Edvinsson has four helpers over his last three games, matching his point total from his previous 14 contests. The 22-year-old helped out on an Austin Watson tally in the third period Tuesday. Edvinsson is up to 29 points, 67 shots on net, 124 blocked shots, 70 hits, 52 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances. It's a strong first full NHL campaign for the blueliner, but he doesn't stand out in many areas outside of blocks and PIM.
