Beniers scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Beniers scored midway through the third period, but that only cut the deficit to 7-3 at the time. The 23-year-old has two goals over six contests since the Olympic break, which appears to have sapped the momentum he was building before the NHL went on pause. The center is at 16 goals, 39 points, 118 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 62 appearances this season. Beniers remains in a top-line role, but he's little more than a depth forward in most fantasy formats.

Daccord stopped 29 of 36 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Daccord had allowed just six goals over his first three games since the Olympic break. The Senators were able to get to him in this contest, scoring multiple times in each period. Daccord dropped to 18-14-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 37 appearances. The Kraken's goaltending usage has been unpredictable this season, and Daccord will need to avoid outings like this to have a chance to reclaim the No. 1 job outright. The Kraken's next game is at home versus the Predators on Tuesday.

Cousins logged a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Cousins helped out on goals by his linemates, Shane Pinto and Michael Amadio, as the Senators built up a 4-1 lead in the middle of the second period. The 32-year-old Cousins doesn't add much on offense, though he has three assists over five contests since the Olympic break. The veteran forward is up to 19 points, 56 shots on net, 127 hits, 30 blocked shots, 68 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 61 appearances. He's on pace to top the 20-point mark for the first time in three years and could challenge his career high of 27 points, set in 2018-19 with the Coyotes and matched in 2022-23 regular season as a member of the Panthers.

Chabot notched a pair of assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Chabot has a goal and four helpers over his last four games. The defenseman could get a boost in power-play time if Jake Sanderson (upper body) misses time after leaving Saturday's contest. Chabot has done well in a smaller role this season, earning 27 points (six goals, 21 helpers), 83 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 47 outings. He's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for the eighth year in a row.

Kleven scored a goal, added 17 PIM, doled out three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Kleven tied the game at 1-1 in the first period, just 34 seconds after Jacob Melanson opened the scoring for Seattle. Late in the third period, Kleven's game ended early when he was given a game misconduct for a cross-check to Jared McCann. It's not clear if that play will earn supplemental discipline -- though that would be a problem for the Senators, who lost Jake Sanderson (upper body) earlier in the contest. Kleven snapped a six-game point drought with the goal and now has two tallies, 12 points, 67 shots on net, 47 PIM, 103 hits and 77 blocked shots over 57 appearances.

Foegele scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Foegele started his Senators career on the fourth line, mostly because head coach Travis Green didn't want to mess with the chemistry of his other lines yet. The 29-year-old Foegele has middle-six upside, especially if the lines get shuffled later on. He has just 10 points (eight goals, two assists) with 80 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-5 rating over 48 appearances this season, but he had topped 40 points in each of the previous two campaigns, so the change of scenery could help his offense.

Cozens scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Cozens has five goals and an assist during his four-game streak. The 25-year-old center continues to provide quality offense from the second line, as well as a hearty helping of physical play to round out his production in fantasy. For the season, he's up to 23 goals, 49 points, 146 shots on net, 169 hits and 49 PIM through 62 appearances. Cozens has a chance to push for the 30-goal and 60-point marks if he can keep up his surge late in the campaign.

Tkachuk scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Tkachuk is on a six-game point streak dating back to Feb. 5. He's earned two goals and four assists during the streak, though he is now eight games removed from his last multi-point outing. The 26-year-old winger is up to 16 goals, 42 points, 162 shots on net, 110 hits, 48 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 42 appearances this season. While an early injury has forced him to take some caution in 2025-26, Tkachuk remains an elite multi-category producer in fantasy.

Stutzle scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Stutzle's 30th goal of the season kept his point streak alive. It's now at 12 games, a span in which he's earned eight goals and eight helpers. The German star has a total of 67 points (22 on the power play), 154 shots on net, 95 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 62 appearances this season. Stutzle should continue to be able to maintain better than a point-per-game pace.

Amadio scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Kraken.

Amadio has earned two goals and two helpers over three outings in March. The 29-year-old forward is still in a third-line role, but the Senators receive contributions throughout their top nine, so Amadio is a decent depth contributor. For the season, he has 10 goals, 26 points, 77 shots on net, 87 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 62 appearances. He needs just one more point to match his total from each of the last three regular seasons.
