Pettersson registered two power-play assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

Just a week after reaching the 200-goal mark in his career, Pettersson has earned his 300th assist and 500th point. He accomplished the milestone in 533 regular-season contests, though he has struggled in the last two years to match the potential he showed early in his career. This season, the 27-year-old center is at 15 goals, 28 helpers, 108 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 55 hits and a minus-21 rating over 62 appearances, production nearly identical to what he did in 2024-25.

O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

O'Connor has three points and 15 shots on net over his last five games. The 27-year-old is no fantasy superstar, but he's contributed a fair amount of offense for the low-scoring Canucks this season. He's up to 17 goals, 27 points, 114 shots on net, 64 hits and 36 PIM across 70 appearances and remains in a top-six role.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

DeBrusk snapped a seven-game slump with the first-period tally. That dry spell has landed him back on the fourth line regularly, though he remains a member of the first power-play unit. The 29-year-old winger is up to 15 goals, 33 points (17 on the power play), 179 shots on net, 59 hits, 28 blocked shots and a minus-25 rating over 69 appearances. His 8.4 shooting percentage is the second-lowest in his career, and combined with a poor supporting cast, it explains much of his downturn on offense after four straight campaigns at or above 40 points.

Boeser scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

Boeser ended a four-game goal drought with the tally. He had five helpers in that span and has generally bounced back in March with five goals and six assists for the month. The winger is up to 17 goals, 37 points, 140 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-34 rating over 63 appearances, but his recent play suggests he could rebound in 2026-27 even if the team around him doesn't make significant improvements.

Lankinen stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

The Canucks kept it close for much of the game, but they came up a goal short. Lankinen is now on a three-game losing streak with 12 goals allowed on 84 shots in that span. That's fairly poor performance even by Lankinen's shaky standards this season. He's down to 8-24-5 with a 3.63 GAA and an .876 save percentage over 40 appearances. The Canucks host the Kings on Thursday, and given Lankinen's recent play, Nikita Tolopilo may be due for a start soon.

Kreider notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Kreider has multiple points in three of his last five games. The 34-year-old winger is thriving on the top line while helping lead the Ducks to the top spot in the Pacific Division. Kreider is now at 46 points (16 on the power play), 120 shots on net, 58 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-1 rating across 65 outings this season.

Carlsson provided two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Carlsson helped out on a Mikael Granlund tally in the second period and Troy Terry's empty-netter late in the third. This was Carlsson's second two-assist effort in a row, giving him three goals and five helpers over his last five contests. The Swedish center is up to the 60-point mark for the first time in his three-year career, and he's added 153 shots on net, 31 PIM, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating across 59 appearances.

Carlson logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Carlson now has four helpers over his last three contests. The 36-year-old has stepped into a top-four role and a spot on the power play -- where he had one of his assists Tuesday -- since entering the Ducks' lineup March 15. The defenseman is up to 50 points (10 goals, 40 helpers) with 125 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 60 outings this season. He's topped the 50-point mark in four of the last five years, with the lone exception being 2022-23 when he was limited to 40 appearances.

McTavish scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

McTavish had gone 14 games without a goal prior to Tuesday. He was scratched twice in that span and also missed five games in January due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old center's inconsistency on offense lately makes him risky for fantasy, especially since head coach Joel Quenneville has had McTavish buried on the fourth line. For the season, McTavish is at 14 goals, 34 points, 124 shots on net, 77 hits, 31 blocked shots and 40 PIM over 64 appearances.

Killorn scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Killorn has four goals and three assists over his last eight contests. He got the Ducks on the board in the second period and helped out on a Mason McTavish tally in the third. Killorn is up to 28 points, 133 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 71 appearances, though his recent play suggests his fantasy stock is on the rise to close out 2025-26.
