Pietrangelo logged an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Pietrangelo has just two helpers over his last eight contests, taking the shine off a strong start to the season from October. The veteran defenseman won't put up points all the time, as he's often tasked with taking care of business in his own zone. For the season, he's at two goals, 12 helpers, 36 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 games. Pietrangelo does enough all around to be rostered in the vast majority of formats.

Fehervary recorded an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Fehervary helped out on Alex Ovechkin's empty-netter to secure a hat trick in the final minute of the game. The assist was Fehervary's third point over the last six games. The 25-year-old blueliner doesn't often put up offense at that rate, instead focusing more on the defensive side of the game. He's at four helpers, 11 shots on net, 42 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 17 contests overall.

Roy logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Roy has three helpers over six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. That accounts for all of his offense through seven appearances this year. The 29-year-old defenseman usually puts up fine depth offense from the blue line, but he's been a little lacking in the physical stats with 12 hits and 10 blocked shots so far.

Sandin notched an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Sandin's point streak is up to five games (three goals, two assists), despite him taking on a smaller role since Jakob Chychrun returned from injured reserve. Sandin kept the streak alive with a secondary helper on Jakub Vrana's second-period goal, which was the game-winner. Overall, Sandin has three goals, seven helpers, a plus-13 rating, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and 36 blocked shots through 17 contests.

Carlson registered a power-play assist, five shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Carlson has four helpers over his last four games, including two on the power play. He's also gone plus-4 with eight blocked shots and 12 shots on net in that span. The 34-year-old blueliner is showing no signs of slowing down in 2024-25, racking up 13 points (five on the power play), 41 shots, 28 blocks, 18 hits and a plus-13 rating through 17 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Chychrun scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Chychrun's tally from the point gave the Capitals a 2-0 lead at 12:26 of the first period. The 26-year-old defenseman has scored in back-to-back games and has four points over four outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. He hasn't missed a beat and looks sharp in a top-four role. Chychrun has five goals, three assists, 21 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 12 appearances, offering decent category coverage in fantasy.

Moverare was loaned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.

Moverare will link back up with the Reign -- the Swedish defenseman has produced two assists across 11 contests with the club in 2024-25. The 26-year-old could be back with Los Angeles soon if this move was just a paper transaction.

Hinds was called up from AHL San Diego on Sunday.

Hinds has two goals and six PIM in 13 minor-league outings this campaign. He hasn't made his NHL debut yet, but that could change because of injuries to Cam Fowler (upper body) and Urho Vaakanainen (upper body).

Forbort (knee) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Forbort hasn't played since Nov. 2 and is out indefinitely. He has one assist, three shots on net and five blocked shots while being limited to four appearances this season. Noah Juulsen and Vincent Desharnais have been in and out of the lineup during Forbort's absence.

Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

Hunt was brought up earlier in the week, though he served as a healthy scratch in Minnesota's last two games. If Jonas Brodin (upper body) can't play in the Wild's next game Tuesday against the Blues, Hunt could be brought back up as a seventh defenseman.
