Mailloux had an assist, two shots, two blocks, three hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Seattle.

Mailloux's shot was saved by Joey Daccord, but Cole Caufield was there to bang in the rebound to make it a 4-1 game late in the first period. The assist gave Mailloux points in two straight, but the rookie was also on the ice for three of Seattle's even-strength tallies and has a minus-4 rating through five games played.

Clarke provided an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Clarke is looking good on offense with four points over his last three games. The defenseman has added a plus-3 rating and five blocked shots in that span, so he's no slouch in his own zone either. For the season, the 21-year-old has eight points, 19 shots on net, 19 blocks, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 contests.

Ferraro recorded an assist, six hits and six blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Ferraro's two helpers this season have come over the last three games. The 26-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes, but he plays in a shutdown role that is unlikely to yield much offense for a team that struggles to score. He has accumulated 30 hits, 24 blocked shots, 13 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances.

Walman scored a goal, dished two assists, went plus-4 and added four PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Walman has erased a slow start to the year with back-to-back three-point efforts in the Sharks' first two wins of the season. The defenseman is up to one goal, seven helpers, 30 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 13 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 outings. Walman still carries some risk in fantasy, but he's seeing big minutes and a decent share of power-play time, which makes him a viable depth option in certain formats.

Mahura had an assist, one hit and two PIM in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Canadiens.

Mahura was the middleman in a pretty tic-tac-toe sequence that resulted in Seattle's final goal. It was the first point in six appearances for Mahura. He's skating on the third pair as a replacement for Vince Dunn (upper body), who is facing a multi-week absence.

Mancini notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

Mancini was a healthy scratch Saturday versus the Ducks, but he drew back into the lineup over Zac Jones for Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old Mancini has collected four points, 12 shots on net, six hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through his first eight NHL appearances. He may not play on an every-game basis, but he's proven himself capable of handling a third-pairing role, and he should still get decent playing time since the Rangers are carrying only three right-shot defensemen on the roster.

Schneider posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

Schneider helped out on a Filip Chytil goal in the second period. The 23-year-old Schneider filled in as a top-four option early in the season, but he has since slipped to the third pairing with Ryan Lindgren back from injury. Schneider is at four points, 16 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, five hits and a plus-8 rating across nine appearances this season.

Van Riemsdyk recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Van Riemsdyk had a helper on an Aliaksei Protas tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. With four assists over his last five games, van Riemsdyk is adding some offense from a third-pairing role. The defenseman has logged 17 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances this season, though his scoring pace will likely drop over time since he has just one 20-point campaign to his name in 10 previous seasons.

Carlson notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Carlson had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games after opening the year on a five-game streak. The 34-year-old set up Nic Dowd late in the third period for an empty-net tally. Carlson has two goals, five assists, 20 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across eight contests this season. His spot on the top power-play unit is likely to be more secure if Jakob Chychrun (upper body) misses time, though Carlson would also have to adjust to a new defensive partner at even strength.

Sandin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

Sandin had multiple helpers for the second time in three games. He played a season-high 24:45 after Jakob Chychrun (upper body) left the contest in the first period. If Chychrun misses time, Sandin is the natural option to replace him on the power play, and he'd likely move up to a top-four role at even strength as well. Through eight outings, Sandin has four helpers, nine shots on net, 16 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-5 rating from a third-pairing role.
