Whitecloud notched an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Whitecloud earned his first point in five outings since he returned from a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points, 58 shots on net, 108 hits, 105 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 66 appearances between Calgary and Vegas this season. Whitecloud is currently in a top-four role with the Flames, though he functions as a shutdown defenseman rather than a scorer.

Olofsson scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Olofsson has tallied in back-to-back games after going 10 contests without a goal. The 30-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 130 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances between Calgary and Colorado. Olofsson continues to fill a third-line role for the Flames, so he may be worth a look as a streaming option if he can sustain his recent uptick in scoring.

Strome scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Strome hadn't scored over the last seven games. He's still been productive in a middle-six role with six points across nine outings since he was dealt to the Flames. Overall, the 32-year-old forward has 15 points, 45 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 42 appearances between Calgary and Anaheim this season.

Frost scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Frost has three goals on 10 shots over his last four games. The 26-year-old has grown into a steady top-six role this season, offering decent offense on a low-scoring team. He's now at 17 goals, 35 points, 119 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 70 appearances. Frost is on pace to get back to the 40-point mark this season after missing it last year.

Backlund scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Backlund snapped a three-game skid with the second-period tally. He gave the Flames a 3-1 lead, but it didn't last. The 37-year-old center continues to be a leader on offense with 16 goals, 39 points, 167 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 70 contests for the low-scoring Flames. Overall, Backlund's offense is still fairly modest, though he'll have some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Cooley stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

The Flames couldn't hold onto a 3-1 lead in regulation, but Cooley kept them from falling behind. Ryan Strome provided the heroics with the game-winning goal in overtime, giving Cooley consecutive wins for the first time since Jan. 10-15. The 28-year-old Cooley is up to 9-9-4 with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Cooley and Dustin Wolf have alternated starts over the last week-plus, which could be how the workload goes for the rest of the season with Calgary far adrift in the standings.

Dahlin earned two assists and fired four shots on goal in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Dahlin has five points and a plus-5 rating over his last three games. The defenseman set up third-period tallies by Jack Quinn and Zach Benson. Dahlin is up to 65 points (15 goals, 50 assists) with 171 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 64 PIM, 61 hits and a plus-14 rating over 67 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Quinn scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Quinn has picked up the pace with five goals and two assists over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old forward helped the Sabres work on a comeback in the third period in this contest. He's now at 17 goals, 45 points, 152 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-8 rating over 71 appearances this season. Quinn has put together a career year across the board while settling into a middle-six assignment.

Doan scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Doan has two goals and an assist over his last four games. The 24-year-old forward remains in a middle-six role and has supplied solid depth scoring throughout the season. He's now at 23 goals, 47 points, 157 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-5 rating over 71 appearances. Doan doesn't stand out all that much in any area, but the overall body of work is worthy of consideration in fantasy.

Tuch scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Tuch has been out of the lineup a couple of times recently due to an illness and a lower-body issue, but both absences were just one game. The absences sapped some of his momentum on offense -- prior to the first absence, he had a seven-game point streak going. The 29-year-old winger is up to 29 goals, 59 points, 166 shots on net, 72 hits, 77 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a plus-20 rating over 68 outings this season. He's on the precipice of reaching the 60-point mark for the third time in four years.
