John Carlson D | ANA
Ducks' John Carlson: Expected to make Ducks debut
Carlson (lower body) is set to make his Ducks debut Sunday against the Canadiens.
Carlson has been out with a lower-body injury since the start of the post-Olympic schedule. Despite that, he was traded from the only team he has ever known in the Capitals to the Ducks. He is finally set to make his Anaheim debut Sunday in Montreal. The 36-year-old has 46 points (10 goals, 36 assists) in 55 games on the season.

Jordan Binnington G | STL
Blues' Jordan Binnington: Starting Sunday
Binnington will start Sunday's game at Winnipeg in net, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Binnington has won two straight starts and was sharp in both, stopping a combined 54 of 57 shots in wins against the Hurricanes and Sharks. The 32-year-old will take that win streak into Sunday's game against the Jets, who are coming off of a big win against the Avalanche last time out. Binnington has a 10-18-6 record on the season with a 3.48 GAA and an .872 save percentage.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Slated to start
Comrie is expected to start Sunday's home matchup against St. Louis, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Comrie is poised to get the second half of the Jets' back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck played in Saturday's 3-1 win over Colorado. The 30-year-old Comrie has a 10-9-1 record this season with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 20 appearances. The Blues sit 27th in the league with 2.64 goals per game this campaign.

Jake Christiansen D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Still in part-time role
Christiansen was scratched for Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Flyers.
Christiansen has played in three of eight games in March, with that playing time opening up due to the absence of Erik Gudbranson (upper body). Christiansen has earned just two assists with 24 shots on net, 26 hits and 21 blocked shots over 35 outings this season. The 26-year-old will continue to compete with Egor Zamula for playing time until the Blue Jackets' defense is at full health.

Brenden Dillon D | NJ
Devils' Brenden Dillon: Cold on offense
Dillon's point drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
Dillon has maintained a steady spot on the third pairing for the Devils. During his slump, he's supplied 11 shots on net, 45 hits, 20 blocked shots and 20 PIM. Dillon has 12 points, 45 shots on net, 160 hits, 84 blocks, 57 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 66 appearances this season, putting him on pace for his lowest scoring output since 2019-20, when he had 14 points in 69 outings.

Kyle MacLean C | NYI
Islanders' Kyle MacLean: Notches assist Saturday
MacLean recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
MacLean had been a scratch for the previous three games. He appears to be battling Marc Gatcomb for a fourth-line spot, so neither player is likely to carve out enough playing time to be a fantasy option. MacLean has seven points, 35 shots on net, 95 hits and 33 PIM over 48 outings this season.

Anthony Duclair LW | NYI
Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Pockets assist Saturday
Duclair notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
Duclair was in the lineup for the third time in the Islanders' nine games since the Olympic break. He looks to be firmly in a part-time role, battling with Max Shabanov for playing time. Duclair has contributed 27 points, 69 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 57 appearances this season.

Noah Dobson D | MON
Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Dishes pair of assists
Dobson notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
Dobson had the secondary helper on goals by Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki. The 26-year-old Dobson has a pair of two-assist games over his last seven outings, but he's gone scoreless in the other five contests in that span. For the season, he's up to 44 points, 132 shots on net, 151 blocked shots, 41 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 65 appearances in a top-four role.

John Klingberg D | SJ
Sharks' John Klingberg: Collects two helpers
Klingberg logged two assists, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Klingberg earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 27 versus the Canucks. He has three assists over his last four contests. Klingberg has slipped to the second power-play unit, which lowers his ceiling for scoring. The defenseman is at 10 goals, 14 helpers, 77 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 41 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 50 outings this season.
