Struble logged an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Struble had been out of the lineup for four of the last five games, and he'd gone five contests without a point. The 24-year-old has three assists over 18 appearances since the start of December. Struble is at seven helpers, 12 shots on net, 69 hits, 36 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 37 appearances this season. With the Canadiens' blue line at full strength, Struble and Arber Xhekaj are most often competing for one spot in the lineup.

Guhle notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Guhle was sidelined for 39 games due to a groin injury, and his helper Tuesday was his first point in five appearances since he returned. He's at three points, 13 shots on net, 11 PIM, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests. Guhle will likely be in the lineup a majority of the time, though he was scratched once since he returned to help manage his workload.

Carrier scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Carrier has four goals over his last five games. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense, but he's finding ways to contribute from a bottom-four role on the blue line. He's up to five goals, 16 points, 40 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 22 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 50 appearances this season. Carrier looks to be a fixture in the lineup thanks to his shutdown skills.

Danault scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Danault tied the game at 1-1 with his goal at 15:22 of the first period. The 32-year-old center had been snakebit all season, though he's shown life on offense with six points over his last nine games. The center is at one goal, 10 assists, 62 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 44 appearances between the Canadiens and the Kings this season.

Morrow notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

Morrow nearly had his first goal as a Ranger, but it was later ruled that Will Cuylle got a touch on the puck before it went in. The 23-year-old Morrow has earned three helpers over his last four outings, doubling his total to six assists on the season. He's added 21 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 23 appearances. He'll continue to see bottom-four minutes until Adam Fox (lower body) returns from long-term injured reserve.

Cuylle scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

That goal ended an 11-game goal drought for the winger, who picked up just one assist in that span. Cuylle's physical play can help him maintain a high floor in fantasy, but he's suffered under the Rangers' recent struggles as much as any player on the team. He's now at 11 goals, 25 points, 96 shots on net, 177 hits, 54 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-17 rating through 51 appearances.

Miller scored two goals on seven shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

This was a fourth straight multi-point effort for the 32-year-old center. He has two goals and six assists in that span, but his pair of tallies Tuesday left the Rangers a goal short of a comeback. He's up to 13 goals, 32 points, 97 shots, 87 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-17 rating across 42 appearances this season, offering enough all-around production to remain useful in fantasy.

Quick allowed four goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings.

Quick was playing in what could be his last game in Los Angeles, the city he called home for the first 16 years of his NHL career. His old team got the better of him in this one, extending the veteran netminder's losing streak to 12 outings (0-10-2). He's now at a 3-11-2 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Spencer Martin has started to push Quick for playing time while the Rangers await the return of Igor Shesterkin (lower body). The Rangers' road trip wraps up Friday against the Sharks.

Anderson has been limited to one assist over his last 21 games after going scoreless in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Anderson's point drought is now at 14 contests. The 26-year-old defenseman still provides steady shutdown minutes in a top-four role, but this quarter of the season has seen his scoring pace plummet. He's at eight points, 40 shots on net, 55 hits, 74 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 49 appearances.

Ward scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

This was Ward's first goal in eight appearances with the Kings this season. The 27-year-old forward is up to three points, six shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating. He's primarily seen bottom-six usage, filling in as a depth option while the Kings navigate a tough run of injuries. If he plays in two more games, he'll need waivers to be reassigned to AHL Ontario, though he's been decent enough that he may stick around with the big club even when some players get back to full health.
