Walker notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Walker ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old blueliner remains in a top-four role, though he is more of a shutdown defenseman. He's provided 15 points, 125 shots on net, 97 hits, 89 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 59 contests this season, so he'll offer some value in non-scoring areas for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Robinson scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Robinson's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old winger missed seven games with an upper-body injury prior to the Olympic break, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. Robinson's offense is likely to be limited as long as he remains in a bottom-six role. He has 11 goals, 16 points, 64 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-7 rating across 46 outings this season.

Aho scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Aho has tallied on the power play in each of the Hurricanes' first two games after the Olympics. He went 19 contests without a power-play goal prior to that, though he had 22 total points, including seven assists with the man advantage, in that span. For the season, the Finnish center is up to 22 goals, 59 points (19 on the power play), 135 shots on net, 51 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 59 appearances.

Blake scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Blake had gone seven contests without a goal prior to Saturday, though he had four assists in that span. The 22-year-old winger is up to 17 goals and a career-best 36 points over 59 outings this season. He also had 17 goals in 80 regular-season games in 2024-25 as a rookie, but he's within striking distance of his first 20-goal campaign. Blake has added 122 shots on net, 32 PIM and a plus-3 rating while mainly playing in a middle-six role this year.

Hall scored a goal on two shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Hall has come out of the Olympic break with five points in two games after going five contests without a point prior to the break. The 34-year-old winger has had a hot stretch in nearly every month this season. He's currently in a second-line role, which gives him a bit more appeal in fantasy as an offense-only option. Hall has 14 goals, 32 points, 99 shots on net, 38 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 59 appearances on the year.

Gostisbehere scored a goal on two shots, added two assists, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Gostisbehere had gone three games without a point prior to Saturday, which was his longest slump while healthy all season. The 32-year-old defenseman got back on track with a big performance, his fifth effort of at least three points this season. Overall, he's at 10 goals, 41 points (14 on the power play), 91 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 42 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 50-point mark for the third time in his career.

Andersen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Andersen had not played in the Hurricanes' previous four games. The Danish netminder is 3-0-3 over his last six outings, allowing 16 goals in that span. He's up to 8-10-5 with a 3.21 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 23 starts this season. Brandon Bussi's continued success between the pipes will likely make it difficult for Andersen to get steady playing time, but he's a decent streaming option in the right matchups. Look for Bussi to get the nod in Seattle on Monday to start Carolina's road trip out west.

Ullmark made 21 saves in a 5-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday.

Ullmark is 3-0-1 in four starts since his return Jan. 31 after missing a month due to personal reasons. He has allowed just seven goals on 86 shots (.919) in that span. The Sens are just five points from a wild-card spot, and Ullmark's sharpening focus could be the difference maker for the postseason. That means fantasy managers will more than benefit.

Chabot had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto.

Chabot snapped a 12-game goal drought with the snipe. He has six goals, 18 assists and 75 shots in 44 games this season; six of those points, including two goals, came on the power play. Chabot is a talented defender, but he's an injury risk. He's already missed 15 games, and he's played more than 71 regular-season outings just once in his career (2024-25; 80 games). Have a safety net if you're rolling him, especially as you approach the postseason.

Batherson scored twice Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. He fired five shots.

His first goal stood as the winner. Batherson had gone 10 games without a goal; he had just 16 shots and five assists in that span. Overall, the winger has 21 goals and 30 assists, which puts him on a career pace. Batherson established a new career mark during the 2024-25 regular season with 68 points (26 goals, 42 assists; 82 games).
