Oesterle scored two goals in AHL Milwaukee's 5-2 win over Grand Rapids on Saturday.

Oesterle has 10 goals on the season, including five over his last five games. For the season, Oesterle is up to 37 points, 117 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 59 appearances. The veteran defenseman hasn't gotten a call-up this season, as the Predators have leaned on their prospects to get looks late in the campaign.

Kleven picked up two assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He also delivered two hits and blocked one shot in 18:13 of ice time. Kleven has three assists in his last two games and four points (one goal, three helpers) in his last four outings. The native of Fargo, North Dakota has three goals, 13 assists, 116 hits, 90 blocks and 51 PIM in 64 games.

Spence delivered two assists in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday. He fired five shots.

Carlo picked up an assist Saturday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.

Carlo is still looking for his first goal this season. He has seven assists and 87 blocks in 48 games this season. Carlo is a quiet contributor on the ice; his game doesn't translate into fantasy value.

Sanheim scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over San Jose.

Sanheim has quietly earned a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist), and he has reached the scoresheet in five of his last six contests (two goals, three assists). Sanheim's 31 points (eight goals, 23 assists) this season equal his third-best NHL campaign (2021-22). His 129 blocks add to his fantasy value.

Orlov scored a power-play goal in a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Orlov has two goals and one assist in his last three games (seven shots) after scoring just once in his first 65 games. He has 29 points, including 26 assists, in 68 contests this season. That's Orlov's best offensive campaign since he put up regular seasons of 35 and 36 points in 2021-22 and 2022-23. He has 14 power-play points (one goal, 13 assists) this season, which is by and far his best production there. His previous best was eight PPP, which he put up in 2022-23.

Pionk (undisclosed) scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Penguins.

It was Pionk's first game back after missing 23 games with an undisclosed injury. His shot from the point went in off the post. Pionk has put up at least 32 points in each of his last six regular seasons, but his offense has tanked this campaign. He has just nine points (three goals, six assists), 85 hits and 66 blocks in 41 games.

Wotherspoon had two assists in a 5-4 shootout win over Winnipeg on Saturday.

Wotherspoon is on a four-game, six-assist scoring streak. He's been a bit of an offensive revelation this season. Wotherspoon has three goals and 23 assists in 69 games, which, when combined with 144 hits and 103 blocks, makes him a solid multi-category consideration for leagues that count those stats. He doesn't get power-play time, but those other stats will help regardless.

Karlsson scored twice in a 5-4 shootout win over the Jets on Saturday.

Karlsson's second goal tied the game in the third period and forced overtime. It was his fifth goal in three games, and it extended his current scoring streak to four games and 10 points (five goals, five assists). Karlsson has been great this year, and he has taken his game to another level lately. He has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 11 games so far in March.

Tucker (lower body) is week-to-week, per Lou Korac of NHL.com on Saturday.

Tucker has three goals, 13 points, 81 PIM and 90 hits in 61 outings in 2025-26. Justin Holl is likely to play regularly during Tucker's absence.
