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.

Glendening logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Glendening returned from a two-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He has three points over six outings with the Flyers, one short of what he produced in 52 contests for the Devils before he was waived ahead of the trade deadline. Glendening may still be a part-time player for the Flyers, but he's had a better fit with his new team.

Voronkov was scratched for the ninth time in 10 games in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

The arrival of interim head coach Rick Bowness has helped the Blue Jackets as a whole, but it has also cost Voronkov a spot in the lineup most of the time. The 25-year-old winger is in an eight-game point drought as well, so the scratches are warranted. Unless injuries strike, it's tough to see Voronkov getting an opportunity while the team is winning. He has 32 points, 110 shots on net, 103 hits, 59 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances.

Ritchie scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Ritchie had gone three games without a point prior to this contest. The 21-year-old is filling a middle-six role and has production to match with six points over his last nine outings. Overall, he's earned 10 goals, 22 points, 65 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 55 appearances this season. Ritchie has some potential, but it could take a couple of years for him to grow into it.

Holmstrom scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Holmstrom's goal was at 8:45 of the third period, sparking a comeback effort that fell short for the Islanders. The winger has four goals and an assist over his last six games while filling a middle-six role. He's up to 18 goals, 38 points, 88 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 70 appearances. Holmstrom is a little behind his pace from last year (45 points in 75 regular-season outings), but he remains a quality depth option in fantasy since he sees ice time in all situations.

Lee scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Lee has a goal and two assists over his last three games. He had been in a middle-six role recently, but his move up to the top line has factored into his offensive improvement. For the season, the 35-year-old winger has 16 goals, 38 points, 177 shots on net, 74 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 72 appearances.

Mikheyev scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Mikheyev has two goals over his last four games. He's still a key defensive forward in a middle-six role, but his ice time could slip as the Blackhawks work to integrate some prospects late in the season. Mikheyev has 14 goals, 28 points, 105 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 66 appearances, making it tough to justify having him in standard fantasy formats since he lacks physicality and power-play usage.

Struble recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Struble ended a six-game point drought with the helper, though he was also scratched four times in that span. His ice time has risen in recent weeks, suggesting he is gaining some stability in the lineup over Arber Xhekaj. Struble has managed 10 helpers, 15 shots on net, 87 hits and 40 PIM through 47 outings this season, providing more toughness than scoring.

Larsson notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

Larsson played in his 1,000th regular-season game Tuesday, and he celebrated the occasion with a helper on Matty Beniers' third-period tally. The 33-year-old Larsson snapped an eight-game point drought with the assist. He's up to 20 points, 78 shots on net, 91 hits, 146 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 70 appearances this season. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of his five campaigns with Seattle while serving as a defensive stalwart on the top pairing.

Evans scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Panthers.

Evans saw a cutback in ice time with the Kraken opting to dress seven defensemen in this contest. He was able to snap a five-game point drought with the tally. Evans' potential remains limited in a third-pairing role even though he continues to play regularly. The 24-year-old blueliner has eight goals, 15 points, 40 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 35 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 55 appearances.
