Luke Evangelista RW | NJ
Predators' Luke Evangelista: Deposits goal in win
Evangelista scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Evangelista had been limited to one assist over the previous eight games. This was the first time he's scored on a goalie since Feb. 4 versus the Wild. The playmaking winger is up to 10 goals, 49 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 70 appearances this season. While there's some upside to his game, Evangelista's an offense-only option in fantasy.

Roman Josi D | NSH
Predators' Roman Josi: Lights lamp in win
Josi scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Josi snapped a 14-game goal drought, a span in which he had eight assists and a minus-10 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman hasn't had a multi-game point drought since Jan. 3-10, but he's been more steady than explosive on offense lately. For the season, the captain has 12 goals, 48 points, 157 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 59 appearances.

Brady Skjei D | NSH
Predators' Brady Skjei: Goal, assist in win
Skjei scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Skjei has four points over his last four contests, adding a plus-8 rating in that span. The 31-year-old defenseman has had few strong stretches this season despite playing in a top-four role regularly. He's now at two goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 61 hits and a minus-4 rating over 71 appearances overall.

Alexander Petrovic D | FLA
Stars' Alex Petrovic: Stuck outside of lineup
Petrovic was scratched for the 13th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
The Stars are carrying nine blueliners currently, and that has left Petrovic on the outside looking in since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old defenseman may get some playing time once the Stars' playoff positioning gets solidified. For the season, he's at nine points, 56 shots on net, 47 PIM, 83 hits and 77 blocked shots over 51 outings, which is his most productive season since 2017-18, when he had 13 points in 67 games for the Panthers.

Nils Lundkvist D | DAL
Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Bags assist in loss
Lundkvist logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Lundkvist hasn't been much of a factor offensively lately, earning three assists over 12 games in March. He has added a minus-1 rating, 14 shots on net and 10 blocked shots this month. Despite his lackluster production, he's been a fixture in the lineup while the Stars carry nine defensemen on the roster, including some that would be more suited to shutdown work. For the season, Lundkvist has 10 points, 43 shots on net, 41 blocks, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating across 44 contests.

Thomas Harley D | DAL
Stars' Thomas Harley: Dishes two helpers
Harley notched two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Harley has a goal and four helpers over his last eight outings, though this was his first multi-point effort since Feb. 25 versus the Kraken. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to log heavy minutes in a top-four role. He's up to 32 points, 98 shots on net, 133 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances this season.

Mavrik Bourque C | NSH
Stars' Mavrik Bourque: Nets goal in loss
Bourque scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.
Bourque pulled the Stars back within a goal at 13:08 of the third period, but they couldn't find an equalizer. The 24-year-old continues to get top-line usage at even strength, but he had only two assists over his previous seven contests. For the season, he has 14 goals, 32 points, 126 shots on net, 64 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 71 appearances. He has shown significant growth after scoring 25 points in 73 regular-season games as a rookie last year. Bourque will likely move down the lineup once Mikko Rantanen (lower body) is ready to return.

Jonas Siegenthaler D | NJ
Devils' Jonas Siegenthaler: Rare multi-point effort
Siegenthaler logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Siegenthaler snapped an 18-game point drought with the effort, which saw him assist Jesper Bratt and Connor Brown in the first period. While Siegenthaler has been a regular presence in the Devils' lineup, it's mostly because of his defensive play. He's at nine points, 52 shots on net, 44 PIM, 83 hits and 11 blocked shots over 70 appearances. He has not reached double digits in points since he had 21 over 80 outings in 2022-23.
-
Connor Brown RW | NJ
Devils' Connor Brown: Tallies again Tuesday
Brown scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Brown was part of the Devils' four-goal burst in the first period. The 32-year-old winger has three goals and four assists over his last five outings while playing in a top-six role, making him a quality depth addition in fantasy. Overall, he's earned 14 goals, 35 points, 96 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 63 appearances. He hasn't hit the 40-point mark since 2019-20, but he could get there again this year if he can keep up his recent success.

Timo Meier RW | NJ
Devils' Timo Meier: Reaches 20-goal mark
Meier scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Meier's third-period tally stood as the game-winner. It was his 20th goal of the campaign, a mark the winger has reached in five straight years and eight of his 10 seasons in the NHL overall. Meier is at just 35 points, 231 shots on net, 113 hits, 45 blocks and a minus-15 rating over 65 appearances this season, with his 8.7 shooting percent being his lowest since 2020-21.
