Hughes scored three goals, one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Hughes struck for the first time with the scored tied 2-2 late in the second period, then added three more points in the third. The goals were his first in the NHL since Jan. 25, but the Olympic gold medalist has been looking good since returning from Milan, racking up nine points in six games. On the season, Hughes has 15 goals and 45 points in 42 contests.

Markstrom made 17 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

The 36-year-old netminder didn't face more than eight shots in any period, and while Markstrom wasn't particularly sharp early, the Devils' offense gave him plenty of cushion. Markstrom has won four straight starts and hasn't allowed more than three goals in eight straight, a stretch in which he's gone 5-3-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Quick stopped 29 of 34 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to New Jersey, with the Devils' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

New York actually grabbed a 2-1 lead midway through the first period, but from that point on, the ice was tilted against the visitors -- the Devils out-shot the Rangers 29-12 over the final two frames. Quick hasn't won a game since Jan. 26, going 0-4-0 in his last four starts with a 3.33 GAA and .900 save percentage. With Igor Shesterkin healthy again, his 40-year-old backup isn't likely to see much action the rest of the way.

Morrissey scored the game-winning goal, registered an assist and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Vancouver.

Morrissey played the hero in Saturday's contest with the game-winning goal less than two minutes into the extra period. Saturday's contest marked Morrissey's return to the lineup after he sustained an upper-body injury in Canada's first game of round-robin play at the Olympics. With the Jets, the 30-year-old blueliner has 11 goals, 44 points, 109 shots on net and 94 blocked shots across 57 games this season. He profiles as a high-level fantasy option among defensemen for the remainder of the regular season as the Jets push for a playoff spot.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Vilardi delivered the game-tying goal with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. With the power-play twine finder, he is up to 24 goals, 53 points and 119 shots on net over 62 games this season. Since Jan. 27, he has five goals and nine points in 11 games. He's poised to set a new career high in points this season and has a chance to surpass the 65-point mark for the first time in his six-year career.

Scheifele tallied a goal, supplied two assists, fired six shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Vancouver.

Scheifele played a hand in all three goals scored by the Jets, including Josh Morrissey's game-winning goal in overtime. With the three-point game, Scheifele now has 30 goals, 48 assists, 136 shots on net and 34 blocked shots across 62 games this season. He's on pace to shatter his career high in points and has a real chance to post a 100-point regular season for the first time in his 13-year NHL career.

Blueger dished out two assists and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

Blueger continued his success when healthy this season with his second multi-point game of the campaign. Since Jan. 23, the 31-year-old center has 10 points across 13 games. Overall, he has 11 points and 34 hits across 16 outings this season. Blueger offers a solid floor in deeper fantasy leagues. Barring another injury, he is still on track to reach the 20-point threshold despite missing the majority of the season.

Ohgren scored a goal and placed four shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Ohgren gave Vancouver a 2-1 advantage early in the third period before the Jets scored two consecutive goals to steal the win. He is up to six goals, 11 points, 66 shots on net, 56 hits and 28 blocked shots across 50 games this season. With Conor Garland shipped out to Columbus at the trade deadline, Ohgren has a chance to see a bump in minutes on the wing if the latter continues to find consistency in the offensive zone.

Karlsson tallied a goal and recorded an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

Karlsson placed the Canucks on the board just under seven and a half minutes into the opening period. He later picked up the secondary helper on Liam Ohgren's goal in the third period to secure Karlsson's third multi-point game of the campaign. Overall, Karlsson is up to 12 goals, 16 assists, 90 shots on net and 71 hits over 60 games this season. With the Canucks undergoing some roster turnover at the trade deadline, Karlsson might have an opportunity to carve out a middle-six role during the remainder of the regular season.

Hellebuyck stopped 21 of 23 shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Hellebuyck dialed in down the stretch to allow the Jets to score the game-tying tally with just under five minutes remaining in regulation before Josh Morrissey sent him home with the win. Overall, Hellebuyck now has a 16-16-9 record, a 2.73 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 41 appearances this season. Since returning from the Olympics, the 32-year-old netminder has been unbeaten in regulation and has won each of his last three starts. Hellebuyck has a bright fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season while the Jets make a push for a playoff spot.
