Fleury logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Logan Stanley (undisclosed) is on injured reserve for the second time this year, and that's allowed Fleury to draw back into the lineup. Fleury picked up his first point of the campaign on Adam Lowry's tally in this loss. Fleury has added eight shots on net, eight blocked shots, four hits and a minus-1 rating over six appearances. The 28-year-old defenseman is likely to remain on the third pairing unless other blueliners get injured.

Raddysh supplied an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Raddysh has had trouble getting in the lineup when the Lightning aren't dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old hasn't helped his cause -- he has just five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to go with two assists and seven shots on net over eight appearances. He's played in just three of the Lightning's last 10 contests, and he could exit the lineup again once Brayden Point (lower body) is ready to return.

McDonagh notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

McDonagh snapped a three-game dry spell when he helped out on a Jake Guentzel tally in the first period. The 35-year-old McDonagh is up to five helpers in 15 contests, and he's added 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on goal and a plus-11 rating. He's a defensive specialist who can chip in some extra offense, so he may have viability in deeper fantasy formats.

Hronek had an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Hronek has picked up four points over six games in November. He's found a better scoring pace this month after being limited to just two helpers in October. Overall, the defenseman has a goal, five assists, 17 shots on net, 28 hits, 14 PIM, 14 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 15 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Myers scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Myers scored after the Islanders took a four-goal lead with an empty-netter. While his tally had no impact on the game, it snapped his seven-game drought on offense. The 34-year-old defenseman has been limited to three points while adding 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 15 outings. Myers offers decent non-scoring production, but he'd need to do a little more on offense for widespread fantasy appeal.

Hutton notched two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Hutton helped out on goals by Pierre Engvall and Noah Dobson. The 29-year-old Hutton hadn't earned an assist at the NHL level prior to Thursday -- his first NHL point was a goal in the 2021-22 campaign. The defenseman continues to fill in on a short-staffed Islanders blue line, which is missing three regulars and likely won't be at full strength until mid-to-late December at the earliest. In addition to his two assists, Hutton has six shots on net, seven hits and nine blocked shots over six appearances in a third-pairing role.

Mayfield scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Mayfield gave the Islanders their first lead of the game just 14 ticks into the second period. The 32-year-old defenseman has taken on a massive role in November with the Islanders missing three of their regulars on the blue line, though it's mostly a defensive assignment. He's up to three points, 13 shots on net, 30 hits, 26 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 17 contests and should see top-four minutes at least until Alexander Romanov (upper body) returns.

Dobson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Dobson ended a seven-game slump with the empty-netter, which was his first goal of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has at least 10 goals in each of the last three campaigns, but it's been a disappointing start to 2024-25 for him. He's at seven points, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances, well short of the pace that saw him rack up 70 points in 79 regular-season contests last year.

Evans posted a power-play assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Evans led the Kraken with 24:33 of ice time in this contest. The 22-year-old blueliner has been limited to two assists over six outings in November, but he's also played more than 20 minutes in five of those games as he continues to fill in on the top pairing for Vince Dunn (upper body). For the season, Evans has nine points (two on the power play), 21 shots on net, 30 hits, 28 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances. That matches his point total from 36 games last season, and it's a scoring pace that could make him useful in fantasy given his other contributions.

Lauzon notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Lauzon earned his first point of the season with a secondary helper on a Cole Smith goal late in the third period. While Lauzon has done next to nothing on offense, he has at least two hits in every game so far. The defenseman has totaled 79 hits, 21 blocked shots, 17 PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 17 appearances while seeing top-four minutes.
