Bastian scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

This was Bastian's second goal in his last three games. He continues to play while the Stars are missing multiple forwards due to injuries. Bastian is up to five goals, 21 shots on net, 68 hits and 15 PIM through 28 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

Bourque scored a goal on five shots and added four PIM in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Bourque has earned a goal and two assists over four games since the Olympic break. He is filling in on the top line for Mikko Rantanen (lower body). Bourque is up to 12 goals, 25 points, 110 shots on net, 48 hits and a minus-1 rating over 61 appearances, matching his point total from 73 regular-season outings a year ago.

Duchene notched four assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.

Duchene's line with Sam Steel and Jamie Benn was the engine in this win. With eight goals and nine assists over his last 10 outings, Duchene looks to be fully back after an injury earlier in the season led to poor results following his return in December. The veteran center is up to 28 points, 56 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 36 appearances and should be back in consideration in nearly all fantasy formats.

Coleman notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.

Coleman, a top trade target, picked up his first point since returning from an upper-body injury that cost him 12 games prior to the Olympic break. The 34-year-old has another year on his contract after this one, so he doesn't have to be moved just yet, and the fact that he played Tuesday suggests a deal isn't imminent. He's at 22 points, 113 shots on net, 117 hits, 33 PIM and 31 blocked shots over 48 appearances in a middle-six role this season.

Rinzel logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Rinzel missed the previous two games due to an illness. While listed on the third pairing, the defenseman was at 22:19 of ice time in the Blackhawks' first game sans Connor Murphy. That trade will open up ice time for Rinzel, who should be capable of playing a decent shutdown game while also chipping in offense. He has 11 points, 54 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 34 PIM, 28 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 33 NHL appearances this season.

Bedard logged two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Bedard has five goals and four assists over his last nine outings, with this being his second multi-point effort in that span. The 20-year-old center is up to 57 points (18 on the power play), 158 shots on net, 36 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 48 appearances. Bedard has had a strong year and is just 10 points shy of matching his total from 2024-25. He should be able to eclipse the 70-point mark this year.

Perfetti scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Perfetti tied the game with just 39 seconds left in regulation, setting the stage for Mark Scheifele to be the hero in overtime. With four goals and three assists over his last seven outings, Perfetti has gotten his season back on track. He's now at 22 points, 96 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-4 rating over 46 appearances, but his recent production suggests he is back to performing like a top-six forward again.

Leonard scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Leonard ended a 14-game goal drought with the third-period tally. During that slump, he was limited to one assist, 28 shots on net, 18 hits and 14 PIM. It's possible the 21-year-old has hit the rookie wall in the second half of the campaign. He's at 11 goals, 31 points, 110 shots on net, 79 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 56 appearances. The Capitals are trying to stay in the playoff race, but they don't have games in hand, so they can't afford anyone being a passenger down the stretch.

Dubois scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Dubois has four goals and two assists over five games since he returned from abdominal surgery. The 27-year-old has provided some spark to the Capitals' top six and power play, with two of his goals in that span coming with the man advantage. For the season, he has six points, 25 shots on net and 11 hits over 11 outings.

Peterka scored a power-play goal on five shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Peterka ended a four-game point drought with his tally. The 24-year-old winger was rolling before the Olympic break, but it appears he wasn't able to carry over his momentum from putting up four points in five games with Germany during the tournament. Peterka is up to 21 goals, 39 points (four on the power play), 121 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 61 outings this season.
