Moore notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-6 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Moore was able to do a little damage against his former NHL team, helping out on goals by linemates Quinton Byfield and Alex Laferriere. The 31-year-old Moore has earned two goals, four helpers and 19 shots on net over his last six outings. For the season, he's up to 27 points, 142 shots on net, 54 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 63 appearances in a middle-six role.

Kurashev was scratched for the 12th time in 15 games in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Kurashev has slipped out of a regular role lately, with Igor Chernyshov primarily taking over his place in the lineup. The 26-year-old Kurashev has done a decent job of bouncing back, earning 20 points, 61 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating over just 42 appearances this season. However, with a more defensive forward in Ty Dellandrea also battling for a part-time spot, Kurashev is unlikely to have much of an impact for the rest of the campaign.

Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

With the tally, Wennberg has a career-high 18 goals this season, surpassing his previous high mark of 17 (in just 56 regular-season outings) in 2020-21. The 31-year-old center is up to 52 points, 89 shots on net, 87 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating over 74 appearances in a top-six role. Wennberg has scored five goals and added three assists during his active six-game point streak.

Celebrini scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Celebrini has six goals and four assists over his last five outings. The superstar center is up to 41 goals, 106 points, 265 shots on net, 48 hits, 47 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 75 appearances this season. Celebrini has beaten all expectations just two years into his career, but he's still trying to find enough late in the campaign to get the Sharks into the playoffs.

Leddy scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

The second-period goal was Leddy's first of the season, and he also helped out on a Macklin Celebrini tally later in the frame. With seven points over 28 outings, Leddy has been more productive in fewer games than last year, when he had five points in 31 contests for the Blues. Leddy looks to have the edge in playing time over John Klingberg, who was cleared from his upper-body injury Wednesday but has yet to check back into the Sharks' lineup.

Askarov stopped 28 of 33 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Askarov gave up three goals in the first period, but the Sharks overcame that deficit by the 1:06 mark of the third. After that, Askarov allowed goals to Ryan O'Reilly and Erik Haula (shorthanded), squandering the chance to secure his first win against the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2020. Askarov is down to 21-18-3 with a 3.56 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 44 outings this season. The Sharks' next game is at home Monday versus the Blackhawks.

Perbix's point drought reached 14 games in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Perbix has earned just two helpers over 22 contests since the start of February. The 27-year-old defenseman plays more of a shutdown role, but with top-four minutes, he should be able to chip in more often that he has been lately. Perbix is at 10 points, 74 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 73 appearances in what's likely to register as his lowest-scoring campaign to date.

Wilsby logged two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Wilsby has three helpers over his last three outings. The 25-year-old has mostly played in a third-pairing role since returning from a lower-body injury, but he could work his way into a larger role if Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) misses time after exiting early Saturday. Wilsby has 15 points, 53 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 25 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances this season.

Josi logged two power-play assists, four shots on goal, four PIM and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Josi helped out on first-period tallies by Filip Forsberg and Steven Stamkos. The 35-year-old Josi has earned three helpers over two contests to start April, a positive turn after he ended March on a three-game skid. The defenseman has crossed the 50-point mark, sitting at 12 goals, 39 helpers, 22 power-play points, 172 shots on net, 99 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 64 outings this season.

Haula scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Haula ended his eight-game goal drought with an insurance tally in the third period. The 35-year-old center had just one assist during his slump. He's up to 12 goals, 34 points, 119 shots on net, 105 hits, 44 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 76 appearances. Haula continues to play in a middle-six role with ice time in all situations, making him a decent depth forward in fantasy when he's clicking on offense.
