Raddysh has remained productive since the Olympic break, compiling six assists, including three on the power play, over his last seven games. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 58 points (23 on the power play), 153 shots on net, 59 hits, 56 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-18 rating in a breakout campaign.

Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Lights lamp in Sunday's loss
Girgensons scored a goal, added two PIM and levied four hits in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.
Girgensons snapped a six-game point drought with the tally. The 32-year-old has rebounded to his usual level of production this season with 15 points in 55 outings after being limited to six points in 82 regular-season contests last year. Girgensons also has 72 shots on net, 153 hits, 30 blocked shots and 22 PIM while primarily playing in a middle-six role for the Lightning in 2025-26.

Corey Perry RW | TB
Lightning's Corey Perry: Scores, fights Sunday
Perry scored a goal, went plus-2 and added five PIM in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.
Perry fought Beck Malenstyn early in the second period and then scored shortly after he served his time in the sin bin. With a goal in each of his two games since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kings, it's clear why Tampa Bay wanted him back. The 40-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 64 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 outings this season.

Janis Moser D | TB
Lightning's J.J. Moser: Three-point effort in Sunday's loss
Moser scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.
Moser put a four-game slump to rest with his best outing of the season. The defenseman was pressed into heavier minutes since he didn't get involved in the first-period shenanigans that landed some of his fellow blueliners in the penalty box. Moser's goal was his first since Jan. 13 versus the Penguins. The Swiss defenseman is up to six goals, 23 points, 92 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 49 PIM, 46 hits and a plus-40 rating over 60 outings in a top-four role this season.

Michael Kesselring D | BUF
Sabres' Michael Kesselring: Garners assist in high-scoring win
Kesselring notched an assist and seven PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
Kesselring ended an 11-game point drought in the process. The 26-year-old defenseman is currently in a third-pairing role, though he could lose some playing time if the Sabres opt to give the recently acquired Luke Schenn a run in that spot. Through 31 outings, Kesselring has just two assists, 41 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 22 hits and 50 PIM in his first year with the Sabres, which has been disrupted by multiple injury absences.

Bowen Byram D | BUF
Sabres' Bowen Byram: Distributes three assists
Byram logged three assists, seven shots on goal and 12 PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
One of his helpers came on the power play. Byram isn't typically one to mix things up, but he got into it as part of a first-period fracas featuring multiple fights and other dust-ups. On offense, Byram has 10 assists over his last 12 outings. He's at 35 points -- three shy of his career-best total from last year -- while adding 87 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 35 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-11 rating in 64 appearances.

Sam Carrick C | BUF
Sabres' Sam Carrick: Tallies in frantic third period
Carrick scored a goal on three shots, added five PIM, doled out three hits and went minus-2 in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
Carrick's goal in the third period kept the Sabres within striking distance, and they ultimately pulled off a comeback. This was the 34-year-old's second game with his new team, and he's already settled in as the fourth-line center. Carrick is up to five goals, 11 points, 60 shots on net, 91 hits, 58 PIM and 30 blocked shots through 62 appearances between the Sabres and the Rangers.

Rasmus Dahlin D | BUF
Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Fills box score Sunday
Dahlin scored a goal, dished two power-play assists, went plus-2 and added five PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
Dahlin had a Gordie Howe hat trick and then some in this contest. He started with the fight, dropping the mitts with Darren Raddysh in the first period before adding his trio of points over the final 40 minutes. Dahlin is up to 13 goals, 57 points (20 on the power play), 155 shots on net, 62 PIM, 56 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 60 appearances. He's displayed more physicality in the past, but the 25-year-old remains a high-quality source of all-around production in fantasy.

David Pastrnak RW | BOS
Bruins' David Pastrnak: Finds twine in overtime loss
Pastrnak scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Pastrnak put an end to his eight-game goal drought, which dated back to Jan. 29. The 29-year-old winger still had five assists in that span, though it's been a bit of a quiet stretch for the elite talent. He's up to 23 goals, 75 points, 201 shots on net, 66 hits, 44 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 58 appearances this season. He could still push for a fourth straight 100-point campaign, but Pastrnak is likely to miss the 40-goal mark for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign.

Parker Wotherspoon D | PIT
Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Reaches 20-point mark
Wotherspoon registered an assist, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
Wotherspoon snapped his six-game point drought when he set up Anthony Mantha's goal to tie the game at 4-4. The 28-year-old Wotherspoon has held onto a top-four role for much of the campaign. He's up to 20 points for the first time in his four-year career, and he's added 58 shots on net, 131 hits, 94 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 63 appearances.
