Chiarot notched an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals.

Chiarot has a helper in two of his last three contests following a 12-game slump. The 33-year-old is not known to be a generally productive player for fantasy managers, but he can chip in some hits and blocks for those that need to target the physical categories. For the season, the defenseman has 11 points, 94 shots on net, 51 PIM, 106 hits and 121 blocked shots over 67 appearances.

Fehervary notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Fehervary has earned five points over nine games in March, including a helper in each of his last two outings. That surge on offense has helped the 25-year-old defenseman secure the first 20-point campaign of his career. He's up to four goals, 16 assists, 64 shots on net, 119 hits, 136 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating through 68 appearances in a stay-at-home role in the Capitals' bottom four.

Letang logged an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

Letang has not gone more than two games without a point since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Over his last 13 outings, he has a goal, seven assists, a plus-1 rating, 27 shots on net and 29 blocked shots. The 37-year-old blueliner is at 28 points, 139 shots on net, 99 hits, 88 blocks and a minus-15 rating through 63 contests overall. This will likely end up being his lowest-scoring season in eight years, and given his age, he's not a good bounce-back candidate for future campaigns.

Schenn notched an assist, eight hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

The 35-year-old defenseman, a former Canuck, was able to get his first point as a Jet against one of his old teams. This was Schenn's first helper in four games for Winnipeg after a pair of trades sent him from the Predators to the Penguins and then the Jets. This season, the heavy-hitting blueliner has just six points to go with 67 shots on net, 252 hits, 84 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 65 appearances.

Pettersson provided an assist and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Pettersson has three helpers over his last five contests. He's started to settle in nicely on the Canucks' second pairing, but he'll always be more productive in the defensive categories than the scoring ones. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to 22 points, 58 shots on net, 73 hits, 120 blocks and a minus-2 rating over 64 outings between the Canucks and the Penguins this season.

Hughes posted two assists, including one on the power play, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Hughes has five points (three on the power play) over four contests since returning from an undisclosed injury. He's also immediately resumed his workhorse role on the blue line as the Canucks' top defenseman. The 25-year-old is now at 65 points (25 on the power play), 150 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 55 appearances.

Durzi scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Durzi was one of four Utah skaters to end up even or better in plus-minus despite the lopsided score. He cashed in the team's lone tally just after a power play expired late in the second period. Durzi has a goal and an assist over his last two games and is up to six points, 18 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 16 outings overall. With a spot on the second power-play unit, the 26-year-old blueliner is worth a speculative addition in deeper fantasy formats.

Bouchard managed an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.

Bouchard saw a seven-game point streak snapped versus the Rangers on Sunday, but he bounced back easily. The 25-year-old had a strong overall performance in a game filled with them among the Oilers' players. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to 54 points (21 on the power play), 200 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 68 appearances in a top-four role.

Ekholm scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, blocked four shots, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.

Ekholm returned from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Even with a lopsided score in the Oilers' favor, Ekholm saw a hefty 21:27 of ice time to help secure the win, though it was his burst of offense that was most noticeable. This was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 27 versus the Kraken. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to nine goals, 30 points, 137 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 41 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances. As long as he stays healthy, he'll close out the regular season in a top-four role with the ability to chip in decent offense from the blue line.

Levshunov notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

The Blackhawks' opening goal was a glimpse into the future, as Levshunov set up Connor Bedard for the tally. That's the No. 1 defenseman and No. 1 center for the rest of the decade connecting on a goal. So far, Levshunov has been up to the challenge in the NHL with two points, six shots on net and eight blocked shots, but he also has a minus-7 rating over four contests. That's the price he'll have to pay until the Blackhawks' young core gets into their collective prime years.
