Chiarot logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Chiarot ended a 22-game point drought that dated back to January when he helped out on the first of Justin Faulk's two goals Tuesday. Despite the lack of offense, Chiarot has maintained his place in the lineup as a shutdown defender on the Red Wings' second pair. His 13 points equal his total from last year, and he's added 98 shots on net, 165 hits, 158 blocked shots, 73 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 78 appearances this season.

Zadorov notched two assists, four hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Zadorov ended his six-game point drought with this effort. The 30-year-old has been a physical force on the blue line this year, but he's also chipped in enough offense to warrant consideration in fantasy. He's at 22 points, 104 shots on net, 193 hits, 150 PIM, 101 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 78 appearances. That matches his point total from last year, and he would set a new career high if he can make one more scoring contribution over the Bruins' final three regular-season games.

McAvoy notched two assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

McAvoy had gone three games without a point to start April. He helped out on the Bruins' last two tallies in this contest. McAvoy reached the 60-point mark for the first time in his career, doing so with 11 goals and a career-high 49 helpers over 67 appearances. He's added 111 shots on net, 122 blocked shots, 79 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-13 rating to be one of the most well-rounded blueliners in fantasy hockey.

Arvidsson notched two assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Arvidsson has five goals and seven helpers over his last eight games. The 33-year-old winger is up to 53 points (24 goals, 29 assists), 170 shots on net and a plus-20 rating over 67 appearances. He's been an excellent fit on the Bruins' second line and has saved his best play for the stretch run.

Pastrnak notched two assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Pastrnak's goal drought has reached seven games, but he's still added nine assists and 21 shots on net in that span. With the two-assist game Tuesday, he's at 99 points (29 tallies, 70 helpers) through 74 contests. He's added 253 shots on net, 82 hits, 72 PIM and a plus-5 rating. Pastrnak has up to three games to reach the century mark for the fourth straight year, and he's likely to play since the Bruins haven't clinched their playoff spot yet.

Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Lindholm ended a 24-game goal drought with the first-period tally. He had seven assists, 31 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating during that span. For the season, the veteran defenseman is at five goals, 25 points, 99 shots on net, 102 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 65 appearances in a top-four role, a strong bounce-back campaign after losing most of 2024-25 due to a knee injury.

Martinook notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Martinook sat out Sunday versus the Senators due to an undisclosed injury. He was back in his usual third-line spot Tuesday, though he may get additional rest since the Hurricanes have clinched the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Martinook is at 27 points, 107 shots on net, 111 hits, 47 blocked shots and 35 PIM through 74 outings this season, including four points over his last six contests.

Staal logged an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Staal missed Sunday's game versus the Senators due to an undisclosed injury. The Hurricanes may be cautious with injuries after wrapping up the Metropolitan Division's top seed Tuesday. As a result, Staal could get some additional rest before the playoffs. He's at 34 points, 103 shots on net, 166 hits, 46 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 74 outings this season. He's one goal away from scoring 20 for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign.

Walker logged two assists, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Walker has four helpers over his last three outings. The 31-year-old defenseman is playing a solid all-around role for the Hurricanes and could see an uptick in playing time if the team is cautious with the return of Jalen Chatfield (lower body), who exited Tuesday's game. Walker is at 28 points, one shy of his career high, while adding 173 shots on net, 137 hits, 122 blocked shots and 57 PIM across 78 appearances this season.

Carrier scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Bruins.

Carrier ended his 25-game goal drought, and the tally was his first point since March 10 versus the Penguins. Despite the lack of offense, Carrier has remained a fixture on the Hurricanes' fourth line when healthy this season. He's at seven goals, 15 points, 77 shots on net, 167 hits and a plus-2 rating over 67 appearances.
