Tyler Myers D | DAL
Stars' Tyler Myers: Active for Sunday
Myers (not injury related) will be in the lineup versus Chicago on Sunday, according to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

K'Andre Miller D | CAR
Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Trio of assists in Friday's win
Miller logged three assists, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
Miller has six helpers over his last seven games. He could be poised for more power-play time if Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) misses time after exiting Friday's contest. Miller has earned 28 points (three on the power play), 88 shots on net, 73 hits, 55 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 54 outings this season. The 26-year-old carries decent all-around potential.

Zeev Buium D | VAN
Canucks' Zeev Buium: Snags helper in Friday's win
Buium recorded an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Buium set up a Jake DeBrusk tally in a frantic first period. The helper was Buium's first point in five games since he returned from a broken bone near his cheek that sidelined him for five contests prior to the Olympics. The defenseman is up to 21 points, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating over 56 outings between the Canucks and the Wild in his rookie year.

Marcus Pettersson D | VAN
Canucks' Marcus Pettersson: Picks up pair of helpers
Pettersson notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Pettersson has three helpers over three games in March. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see plenty of playing time in a top-four role for the Canucks. He's at 14 points, 56 shots on net, 56 hits, 56 PIM and 104 blocked shots over 62 appearances. Pettersson can help in deeper fantasy formats that count blocks, but his overall profile isn't enticing on a bad team.

Jacob Bernard-Docker D | DET
Red Wings' Jacob Bernard-Docker: Playing time likely to slip
Bernard-Docker's point drought reached 10 games in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.
Bernard-Docker has played in 26 consecutive games, but he has just three assists, 11 shots on net, a plus-8 rating, 30 hits and 45 blocked shots in that span. The Red Wings' trade for Justin Faulk will almost certainly cost Bernard-Docker playing time, though Travis Hamonic and Axel Sandin-Pellikka are also likely to rotate in and out of the lineup at times. With just four helpers over 47 contests in 2025-26, Bernard-Docker's drop in playing time won't be noticed in fantasy.

Dante Fabbro D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Not playing Saturday
Fabbro (lower body) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt against Utah, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Fabbro will miss his second straight game. He has four goals, five assists, 51 hits and 88 blocked shots across 54 contests this season. He could return as early as Monday versus Los Angeles.

Zach Werenski D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski: Ready to play Saturday
Werenski (Illness) will return to action against Utah on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Following a three-game absence, Werenski will return to the lineup after recovering from a stomach bug. He has amassed 20 goals, 65 points, 195 shots on net and 68 blocked shots across 54 appearances this season.

Cale Makar D | COL
Avalanche's Cale Makar: Two points in Dallas
Makar produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.
Both points came in the first period, as Makar opened the scoring early in the frame before having a hand in a Nathan MacKinnon tally with just two seconds left before intermission. Playing for Team Canada in the Olympics seems to have rejuvenated Makar. The star blueliner had just one goal and four points in the last 10 games before the break. However, he has busted out for four goals and nine points in six games since the NHL schedule resumed.

Jonathan Aspirot D | BOS
Bruins' Jonathan Aspirot: Ready to rock
Aspirot (illness) will return to the lineup against Washington on Saturday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.
After missing Thursday's 6-3 loss to Nashville, Aspirot will replace Jordan Harris in Saturday's lineup against the Capitals. The 26-year-old Aspirot has two goals, eight points, 25 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and 66 hits across 40 appearances this season.
