Ehlers scored three goals and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.

Ehlers had a pair of even-strength goals in the second period and added a power-play empty-netter in the third to finish the hat trick. The 30-year-old has five goals over four contests since his stint with Denmark at the Olympics. The winger is up to 19 tallies, 48 points, 152 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 61 appearances this season.

Bussi stopped 18 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Canucks.

Bussi earned his ninth win in a row, but it was another shaky effort. He's given up eight goals on 50 shots over his two starts since the Olympic break. The 27-year-old is up to 25-3-1 on the year with a 2.29 GAA and a .903 save percentage. Bussi is a good target for fantasy managers needing wins, but he won't carry a high save percentage because the Hurricanes tend not to allow many shots. Bussi and Frederik Andersen should each get a start in the next two games, as the Hurricanes visit the Oilers on Friday and the Flames on Saturday.

Schwartz scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Schwartz ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally, which came just 31 seconds into the contest. He had two assists during that cold stretch. The veteran winger is up to 10 goals, 21 points, 74 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating over 41 appearances this season, though he continues to see steady middle-six minutes.

Dunn scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Dunn played well against his former team, but the same can't be said for many of his Kraken teammates. The defenseman has two goals and an assist over his last three outings as he continues to thrive in a top-pairing role. For the season, Dunn is up to 10 goals, 37 points, 127 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-17 rating. His scoring production has him on pace to challenge for the 50-point mark, a threshold he's reached just once in his career so far.

Grubauer stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Grubauer has lost two straight starts, both against the Blues, since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old netminder was seeing a slight majority of the playing time heading into the Olympics, but if he can't get results, the Kraken could turn to the hot hand of Joey Daccord. Grubauer is now 11-8-3 with a 2.53 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. The Kraken host the Senators on Saturday.

Fowler logged an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Fowler ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 34-year-old blueliner has had a tough time finding steady offense amid the Blues' overall struggles this season. He's at one goal, 18 assists, 77 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 61 appearances this season. After posting no fewer than 39 points in four straight campaigns, Fowler is likely to finish below the 30-point mark in 2025-26.

Schenn notched three assists, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Schenn hasn't scored in eight games, but he has six helpers in that span, including four over his last two contests. The 34-year-old had a hand in all of the Blues' goals Wednesday while playing in a top-line role. He's up to 28 points, 87 shots on net, 138 hits, 49 PIM, 27 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating across 61 appearances.

Mailloux scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Mailloux has scored in consecutive contests to start March after putting up just one goal and two assists in his first 44 outings this season. The 22-year-old defenseman has at least held onto a consistent bottom-four role lately. He's at five points, 48 shots on net, 61 hits, 31 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-18 rating across 45 appearances. Mailloux could be in line for a permanent boost in ice time if Colton Parayko (back) is traded before Friday's deadline.

Holloway scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Holloway is developing a reputation as a Kraken killer. He has 11 points in 10 games versus Seattle in his career, including five goals and an assist in three meetings during 2025-26, two of which have come in the last week. With his tally Wednesday, Holloway has 12 goals, 22 points, 97 shots on net, 95 hits and a minus-8 rating over 38 appearances this season. An ankle injury has slowed him down over the last couple of months, but he should have plenty of confidence down the stretch now that he appears to be fully healthy.

Thomas scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Thomas has back-to-back two-point games since he returned from a leg injury. The 26-year-old center has added five shots on net and a plus-3 rating in those contests. For the season, he's up to 13 goals, 37 points, 65 shots, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 44 outings. This was the Blues' last game before the trade deadline -- if he's not dealt, he'll continue his top-line role when they face the Sharks on Friday night.
