Kaiser posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Kaiser missed one game due to a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old was on the second pairing as the Blackhawks went full youth movement on the blue line by scratching veteran Matt Grzelcyk. Kaiser has earned 13 points, 60 shots on net, 38 hits, 54 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 62 appearances this season and should be in the lineup regularly for the remainder of the campaign.

Greene scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Greene has two goals and an assist over eight games in March. He's getting a look on the top line, but his offense is still a work in progress at this early stage of his career. The 22-year-old is up to nine goals, 24 points, 92 shots on net, 38 hits and 33 blocked shots over 66 appearances in his rookie year.

Brodin logged an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Brodin's been back in the lineup for eight contests after returning from a 14-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He's added 13 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating since his return. The 32-year-old defenseman brings structure and stability to the Minnesota defense, and he can occasionally make an impact on offense. For the season, he's at 16 points, 56 shots on net, 107 blocks and a plus-17 rating over 50 outings. He had 20 points in 50 regular-season games a year ago.

Tarasenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Tarasenko has four goals and three assists over his last seven contests. The 34-year-old winger is contributing regularly and can be a good source of points, shots and hits in fantasy. He's up to 19 goals, 39 points (11 on the power play), 122 shots, 49 hits and a minus-4 rating over 62 outings this season.

Hartman scored a goal on four shots, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Hartman has two goals and two assists over his last five contests. The 31-year-old forward continues to fill whatever role is needed of him, which has had him in the top six lately. Hartman has 16 goals, 31 points, 136 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 55 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 65 appearances.

Zuccarello scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Zuccarello had three assists over his previous five games. The winger found the twine at a good time, scoring 3:09 into the extra session to help the Wild rebound after squandering a 3-1 lead. Zuccarello is up to 13 goals, including five game-winners, and 42 points through 49 outings this season. He continues to fill a top-six role and sees power-play time on the first unit.

Markstrom is slated to start on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Markstrom has allowed at least three goals in each of his past five outings. He's 20-16-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 38 appearances this campaign. The Rangers enjoyed a four-game winning streak in which they outscored adversaries 20-7, but New York saw that run come to an end with a 4-1 loss to the Kings on Monday.

Johnston (lower body) will not be in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Wednesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Johnston will miss his fourth straight game due to his lingering lower-body problem. While the 32-year-old winger has already put together career numbers in goals (three) and assists (11), he still doesn't offer enough offensive production to be fantasy relevant.

Anderson scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Anderson has a goal and an assist over his last two games, but he went eight contests without a point before that. The veteran winger is firmly in a bottom-six role with a lack of power-play time, so he's unlikely to play a big part in Montreal's offense. He's at 13 goals, 22 points, 78 shots on net, 112 hits, 39 blocked shots and 52 PIM through 61 appearances.

Nyman was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Nyman has made 24 appearances for the Kraken this year, recording four goals, two assists, 20 hits, six PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 10:42 of ice time. He's been in the minors since late December but will provide additional depth for the Kraken while Jaden Schwartz (face) and Eeli Tolvanen (upper body) deal with absences.
