Kaiser notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Kaiser ended a seven-game point drought with this effort. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to 16 points, 71 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 44 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 72 appearances. Kaiser is seeing steady top-four minutes late in the year, though he is trending toward more of a shutdown role in the long run, as he's rarely given any power-play time.

Bedard logged two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Bedard set up Teuvo Teravainen's power-play tally in the second period and helped out on Ilya Mikheyev's empty-netter in the third. It was Bedard's first multi-point effort since March 17, but he hasn't gone more than one game without a point in that span. He's not exactly stringing a streak together either, but he's shown some decent consistency. The 20-year-old has crossed the 70-point mark for the first time with 30 goals, 41 assists, 210 shots on net, 42 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 64 appearances this season. Still, he has slowed down slightly late in the year, posting 16 points over 18 games since the start of March.

Boisvert scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Boisvert has played in five of the last six games while occupying a bottom-six role in his first taste of NHL action. The 20-year-old center broke through with his first goal and point Saturday, and the tally at 13:08 of the third period stood as the game-winner. He's added four shots on net, six hits, nine PIM and a minus-1 rating through five NHL appearances, showcasing a bit of grit. Boisvert could receive substantial playing time with AHL Rockford in the 2026-27 campaign, which may benefit his development in the long run.

Teravainen scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Teravainen had been buried in the lineup lately, but he was moved up to the top line for this contest. It was his power-play usage that helped him snap a 15-game goal drought, a span in which he had five assists and just 13 shots on net. The 31-year-old winger is now at 14 goals, 34 points, 84 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating through 70 appearances. He'll miss the 50-point mark for the first time in three years, and it could be tough for him to get back to that level next season if the Blackhawks get a collective step forward from their many prospects.

Bertuzzi scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Bertuzzi has four goals and three assists over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old winger put the Blackhawks up 2-0 late in the second period with his tally Saturday. For the season, he's earned a career-high 32 goals while adding 24 assists, 157 shots on net, 54 hits, 38 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 74 appearances. Bertuzzi is filling a second-line role with a spot on the first power-play unit, which has elevated his offense to a level he hasn't come near since the 2021-22 campaign with the Red Wings.

Cowan scored a goal Saturday in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings.

The young forward has amped up the edge in his game, and he's been throwing his weight around. Cowan picked up a roughing penalty in the first period and posted three hits in the contest. He's on a modest three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). Overall, Cowan has 10 goals, 16 assists, 87 shots on net and 68 hits through 61 NHL outings.

Mikheyev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Mikheyev set up Tyler Bertuzzi's goal late in the second period and added the empty-netter in the third. The 31-year-old Mikheyev has netted four goals and added three assists over his last 10 appearances while playing in a second-line role. He's up to 16 goals, 33 points, 116 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 72 appearances. He's one point shy of matching the career-best 34 he had over 80 outings in 2024-25.

Soderblom stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Soderblom had one of his better outings lately and came away with his third win in his last eight games. He started to slip in the third period, but he didn't let the lead disappear. Soderblom is up to 8-12-3 with a 3.74 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 25 appearances. He could see a little more playing time down the stretch, though the Blackhawks don't have a back-to-back left on their schedule. Chicago plays its final road game of the campaign Monday in San Jose.

Robertson scored a goal in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings.

The goal tied his career high of 15, which he set in the 2024-25 regular season. Robertson hasn't been productive offensively since the beginning of February, registering three goals and two assists in his last 21 games. Still, he has personal bests in points (31) and shots (118) while earning 74 hits through 73 appearances this campaign.

McTavish scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.

McTavish had gone five games without a goal, picking up just one assist in that span. The 23-year-old has found himself in a bottom-six role lately, which has limited his production, though the Ducks' offense as a team has also been lacking in recent weeks. McTavish has 15 goals, 36 points, 132 shots on net, 89 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 70 appearances. That's a big step back from last year's 22-goal, 52-point effort in 76 outings, which isn't an encouraging trend for the third-overall pick from 2021.
