Acciari tallied a goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Dallas.

Overall, the 34-year-old forward is up to 10 goals, 20 points, 82 shots on net, 62 hits and 54 blocked shots across 59 games this season. His goal Saturday helped him secure double-digit goals for the fourth time in his 11-year career. He's taken a step up offensively in his third season with the Penguins and holds sneaky fantasy value in deep category-based leagues with five points, 17 shots on goal, 12 hits and 14 blocks over his last 10 games.

Karlsson scored a goal and supplied two assists in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.

Karlsson played a hand in all three goals scored by Pittsburgh in Saturday's contest, including his own goal to give the team a 2-1 lead early in the second period. With the trio of points, the 35-year-old blueliner is up to 13 goals, 47 assists, 161 shots on net and 58 blocks across 68 games this season. While he's taken a small step back defensively this season, the veteran defenseman is enjoying his best offensive season in Pittsburgh across his three years with the team. Karlsson has flipped the switch offensively since the Olympics with 25 points over his last 16 games, which leads all defensemen in that span by five points. He's on pace to reach 65 regular-season points for the seventh time in his 17-year career, giving him excellent fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign.

Overall, he now has 27 goals, 54 points, 134 shots on net, 49 hits and 35 blocked shots through 73 games this season. The 31-year-old winger has been one of the positive surprises of the season and has a chance to reach the 60-point mark for the first time in his 11-year career. He's surging offensively with six goals and nine points over his last 11 games, making Mantha a solid waiver-wire pickup in nearly all fantasy formats while skating on the Penguins' top line.

Benn's performance Saturday marked his third multi-point outing of March. The 36-year-old forward is up to 19 assists, 33 points, 65 shots on net and 75 hits through 51 games this season. He's heating up offensively with five assists, 10 points and 16 shots on net over his last 13 games. The 17-year NHL veteran remains a solid source for category coverage stats as well, giving him solid streaming value in various fantasy formats for the time being.
