Carlson logged three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Carlson now has four helpers over his last three contests. The 36-year-old has stepped into a top-four role and a spot on the power play -- where he had one of his assists Tuesday -- since entering the Ducks' lineup March 15. The defenseman is up to 50 points (10 goals, 40 helpers) with 125 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 60 outings this season. He's topped the 50-point mark in four of the last five years, with the lone exception being 2022-23 when he was limited to 40 appearances.

McTavish scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

McTavish had gone 14 games without a goal prior to Tuesday. He was scratched twice in that span and also missed five games in January due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old center's inconsistency on offense lately makes him risky for fantasy, especially since head coach Joel Quenneville has had McTavish buried on the fourth line. For the season, McTavish is at 14 goals, 34 points, 124 shots on net, 77 hits, 31 blocked shots and 40 PIM over 64 appearances.

Killorn scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Killorn has four goals and three assists over his last eight contests. He got the Ducks on the board in the second period and helped out on a Mason McTavish tally in the third. Killorn is up to 28 points, 133 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 71 appearances, though his recent play suggests his fantasy stock is on the rise to close out 2025-26.

Terry scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Terry has four goals and three assists over his last five outings. The 28-year-old hit the ground running after his nine-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he should continue to be a solid scorer in a top-six role. He's up to 17 goals, 52 points, 122 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 51 appearances. He's finished with no less than 54 points in each of the last four years, and he'll likely do at least that well this season despite missing 20 contests.

Granlund scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Granlund has shaken off the rust following his upper-body injury coming out of the Olympics. He's scored four goals over the last three games, which has been enough to help him reclaim a top-six job. The 34-year-old is up to 16 goals, 31 points (seven on the power play), 93 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 47 appearances. If he can keep the offense rolling, Granlund should be on the radar for fantasy managers late in the season.

Dostal stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

The Canucks got a goal in each period, including two on the power play, but the Ducks were just a little better. Dostal improved to 6-2-1 with 28 goals allowed over nine outings in March, which has been a bit of a shaky month for him despite the wins. For the season, he's up to 29-15-3 with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 49 appearances. The Ducks' road trip continues with another favorable matchup Thursday in Calgary.

Kerfoot scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Kerfoot had gone eight games without a goal, though he had three assists in that span. The 31-year-old forward is playing in the bottom six, which makes it tough for him to be a regular contributor on offense. For the season, he's earned seven points, 19 shots on net, 21 hits, 18 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 24 appearances.

Crouse scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

The goal was Crouse's 20th of the season, a mark he's reached in four of the last five years. He missed it in 2024-25, but the physical winger has enjoyed a bit of a bounce-back campaign in 2025-26. He has four goals and two assists over his last five outings, and he's up to 38 points, 188 hits, 49 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 71 appearances. His tally Tuesday was his first power-play point of the season.

O'Connor set up a goal in his season debut during a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

O'Connor underwent offseason hip surgery, and it's been a long road back for him. He picked up a minor penalty in 15:05 of ice time. O'Connor is a complementary bottom-six forward, but he probably won't factor much into the team's scoring down the stretch.

Vanecek stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief of Karel Vejmelka in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

The Oilers' lone goal in the third period went into an empty net. Vanecek put in a good performance, and he's now allowed just eight goals on 104 shots over five outings in March. For the season, Vanecek is at 5-10-3 with a 2.67 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Mammoth have a light schedule to end March and begin April, so it's not clear when Vanecek might get back between the pipes.
