Zucker scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Zucker has two goals over his last three games. The 34-year-old winger is still on the second line, but he has been under 15 minutes of ice time in his last four contests, and that's with a spot on the top power-play unit still to his name. For the season, Zucker has 17 goals, 31 points, 92 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-7 rating over 44 appearances.

Hill was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and will start Sunday's game against the Oilers, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Since coming out of the Olympic break, Hill and Akira Schmid have alternated starts. Schmid got the start Friday against the Wild, so it will be Hill's turn Sunday against the Oilers. The 29-year-old Hill is 6-4-3 on the season with a 3.42 GAA and an .860 save percentage. He will look to snap a streak of three straight starts allowing at least three goals, this time against an Oilers team that has scored at least that many in six straight games.

Hathaway (illness) didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Hathaway still could be an option for Monday's matchup against the Rangers if he recovers in time from the flu. He has generated one goal, two points, 23 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 199 hits across 53 appearances this season.

Thompson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Thompson has six goals and five assists during his 10-game point streak. While that's not exactly explosive offense, he's doing his part to provide steady scoring from the top line for a team that's getting offense from everywhere. With the tally, Thompson has 34 goals, 66 points, 221 shots on net, 58 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 63 appearances this season.

Brisson was recalled from AHL Hartford on Sunday.

Brisson has one assist, two shots on net, one blocked shot and one hit in three NHL outings this season. He also has 15 goals and 27 points in 49 appearances at the AHL level this campaign.

Kartye notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

This was Kartye's first point in four games since the Rangers claimed him off waivers from the Kraken. The 24-year-old has gotten a chance to play regularly in the Rangers' bottom six, an opportunity he wasn't getting in Seattle. He has nine points, 31 shots on net, 112 hits, 25 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 44 appearances this season.

Laba logged an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Laba ended a seven-game point drought with the helper. He hasn't scored in his last 13 outings, but he remains firmly in the lineup as the Rangers' third-line center. For the season, the 22-year-old rookie has six goals, 17 points, 56 shots on net, 85 hits and 37 blocked shots over 59 contests.

Borgen scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Borgen has three points, 13 hits and a plus-5 rating over three contests in March. For the season, the veteran defenseman is at five goals, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 87 hits, 77 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-2 rating in 55 outings. Borgen doesn't offer much scoring upside, but he is seeing steady top-four minutes.

Gavrikov scored a goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Gavrikov has scored in three straight games and has a point in each of his last four contests. The 30-year-old defenseman has doubled his previous career high in goals with 12 this season. Gavrikov's up to 25 points, 93 shots on net, 87 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 62 appearances. He's shooting 12.9 percent, so the offense could drop at any time, but Gavrikov remains a decent depth option for fantasy blue lines.

Cuylle scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Cuylle has three goals and an assist during a three-game point streak to start March. The 24-year-old winger is up to 16 goals, 32 points, 122 shots on net, 216 hits, 60 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 62 appearances. Cuylle should be a lock for top-six minutes the rest of the way, and while the Rangers' offense isn't great, the Ontario native's physical play boosts his fantasy value.
