Lilleberg notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Lilleberg led all Lightning skaters with 20:58 of ice time -- he picked up the slack as the top regulars got rest in a blowout win. The 23-year-old has five helpers over his last 11 contests, which is a level of offense typically unseen out of the blueliner so far in his young career. He's up to seven assists, 13 shots on net, 36 hits, 28 PIM, 15 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances, which is already better than his five helpers in 37 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Cernak notched an assist, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Cernak has three helpers over his last 10 contests. The 27-year-old has added 26 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in that span, serving as a steady defender who can chip in the occasional point or two. The blueliner is at seven assists, 47 hits, 32 blocks, 17 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 24 outings overall.

Moser posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Moser snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Nick Paul's third-period tally. The 24-year-old Moser has not produced steady offense despite playing in a top-pairing role for most of the campaign. He's up to nine points, 25 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 19 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 24 appearances. That puts him on a similar pace to the 26-point effort he mustered in 80 contests in 2023-24 with the Coyotes.

Perbix scored a goal in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Perbix's role was limited Thursday with the Lightning dressing seven defensemen. The 26-year-old has three points over his last five games, but that's unlikely to be the norm moving forward. Overall, the blueliner has three goals, four assists, 26 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 20 outings in a third-pairing role.

Miromanov posted an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

Miromanov snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to five points over 25 appearances this season, primarily playing in a second-pairing role. He's added 30 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Miromanov is finally an NHL regular, but his offense is too limited to be useful in many fantasy formats, especially with a relative lack of non-scoring production.

Weegar scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added four hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.

The goal was Weegar's first since Oct. 22 versus the Penguins. He's been otherwise decent on offense, picking up seven helpers over his last eight outings. The 30-year-old blueliner has 16 points (eight on the power play), 67 shots on net, 68 hits, 72 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 27 contests. He's slightly behind the pace that saw him rack up a career-high 52 points in 82 outings in 2023-24, but he's still among the best all-around fantasy blueliners in the league.

Suter notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Suter has two helpers over his last five games, an improvement on the 10-game slump with a minus-12 rating that came before. The 39-year-old defenseman is still handling big minutes as the Blues battle a number of injuries on the blue line. Suter is up to six points, 26 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 17 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 27 outings this season.

Broberg notched two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Broberg has three helpers over three games since he returned from a knee injury. The defenseman earned one of his helpers Thursday on the power play, as he's reclaimed time on the second unit since his return last Saturday. The 23-year-old is at two goals, 10 assists, 17 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-7 rating over 15 contests.

Parayko scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Parayko, fresh off of being named to Team Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off roster Wednesday, celebrated with the game-winning goal Thursday. He poked in a loose puck 2:25 into overtime for his first goal since Nov. 7. While he hasn't had the steadiest offense, the 31-year-old blueliner is playing a huge role on the Blues' top pairing. He's at 13 points, 53 shots on net, 40 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 27 appearances, putting him on pace to challenge for his first career 40-point campaign.

Harris notched an assist in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Harris earned his first point as a Blue Jacket in this contest, assisting on a Cole Sillinger goal in the third period. The 24-year-old Harris has played in six straight games, but he occasionally will sit out for Jack Johnson. Harris has added just nine shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 13 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating while averaging a mere 12:17 of ice time per game -- he's in too small of a role to draw much fantasy interest.
