Gauthier scored a goal on seven shots, added a power-play assist and logged two hits in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Gauthier has dug out of a slump with five points over his last three games. He also had his first power-play point since Jan. 6 in this contest. The 22-year-old winger is up to 23 goals, 45 points and 191 shots on net through 50 contests, setting career highs in each of those offensive categories. The winger has added 40 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating. Even on the third line, as he is currently, Gauthier is getting things done for the Ducks.

Dostal stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

This was Dostal's fifth straight win, a span in which he's allowed just nine goals on 138 shots. The 25-year-old netminder's turned things around after a terrible December following his return from an upper-body injury. For the season, he's up to 18-12-2 with a 3.01 GAA and an .894 save percentage. The Ducks' road trip continues Sunday in Calgary in the first half of a back-to-back -- they also face the Oilers on Monday. Dostal's worth checking on in fantasy, as some managers may have let him go during his slump.

Blidh registered an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

This was Blidh's first NHL point since Feb. 12, 2022, back when he was with the Bruins. The 30-year-old forward has four shots on net and eight hits over three outings with the Rangers this season. He's currently getting a chance to play on the fourth line, though Matt Rempe or Jonny Brodzinski could push him out of the lineup.

Raddysh registered an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

Raddysh snapped a month-long slump, in which he went 12 games without a point while racking up eight shots on net and a minus-5 rating. The 27-year-old forward has been a regular in the Rangers' bottom six this season, but he hasn't offered much offense. He's at 12 points, 39 shots on net, 42 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 49 appearances.

Carrick scored a goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

This was Carrick's second goal in the last six games. The 33-year-old center doesn't add much offense from a fourth-line role, and he was under the 10-minute mark for the fifth time in seven contests. For the season, Carrick has three goals, nine points, 53 shots on net, 42 PIM, 75 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances.

Martin allowed three goals on 31 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Sharks.

Martin gave up all three goals, including two on the power play, in the first 7:37 of the game. He's allowed 10 goals over his last three outings, all starts. The 30-year-old has taken a chunk out of the slumping Jonathan Quick's playing time, but neither goalie has been all that inspiring lately. Martin is 1-2-0 with 15 goals allowed over five appearances this season. The Rangers' next game is at home Monday versus the Bruins.

Graf logged two assists, including one on the power play, two PIM and two hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Graf had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games, but he had a four-game point streak before that. The 23-year-old winger is up to 29 points (14 goals, 15 assists), 57 shots on net, 54 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 49 outings. He picked up his first power-play point of the campaign Friday, and he's also back on the top line, giving Graf plenty of appeal for fantasy managers.

Smith registered two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Smith has two goals and two helpers over four games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 20-year-old forward is up to a total of 33 points (nine on the power play), 88 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 37 appearances. Smith has been on the top line since his return, giving him a steady path to offense alongside breakout superstar Macklin Celebrini.

Regenda scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Regenda's tally held as the game-winner in this contest. The 26-year-old has shown his scoring skill in limited NHL action, though he's been a regular in the Sharks' middle six since the end of December. He's at eight goals, one assist, 31 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances this season, with four of his tallies coming on the power play.

Celebrini scored two goals on four shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

Celebrini scored on the power play just 1:09 into the game, and he added a second goal at 7:37 of the first period. He had gone six games without a goal prior to Friday, though he still put up five assists in that span. For the season, the 19-year-old superstar has 26 goals, 74 points (22 on the power play), 173 shots on net and a plus-12 rating across 50 outings.
