Theodore is at 41 points through 45 outings this season, matching his output from 55 games a year ago.

Brown has four points over his last nine outings, by far his most productive stretch of the campaign. The veteran defenseman is at 10 points, 111 hits, 83 blocked shots, 75 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 50 contests overall. He's likely to finish the year in a third-pairing role.

Kolyachonok has three points over his last three contests, and he's blocked five shots in that span. The 22-year-old is holding down a third-pairing role to close out the NHL campaign. He doesn't offer much upside outside of DFS formats for Wednesday's game versus the Oilers, but he could compete for a full-time job in 2024-25.

Kesselring has three helpers over seven contests in April while playing mainly on the second pairing. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 20 points, 74 shots on net, 106 hits, 56 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 64 appearances. He's not a superstar by any means, but it's been a solid rookie year for the American blueliner.

Durzi supplied a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Flames.

Durzi has a helper in four of the last five games, but this was his first power-play point since March 26. The defenseman earned his first 40-point campaign and has added 141 shots on net, 157 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-3 rating over a career-high 75 appearances. Durzi remains locked in on the top pairing and first power-play unit.

Hunt notched an assist, five hits and five PIM in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes.

Hunt fought Arizona's Jan Jenik in the first period and then assisted on a Connor Zary goal in the middle frame. The 28-year-old Hunt has two assists and 14 hits over his last two contests after going nine games without a point. The veteran forward is up to eight points, 73 hits, 32 shots on net, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating over 27 NHL outings this season, mainly in a bottom-six role.

The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 51 points (15 on the power play), 202 shots on net, 200 blocked shots, 188 hits, 51 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 80 outings overall. He's been one of the best players on the Flames this season, both for his career year on offense and his ever-steady defensive contributions.

Andersson produced two assists, four hits and six blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Coyotes.

Andersson earned his first multi-point effort since Feb. 19. He helped out on tallies by Yegor Sharangovich and Nazem Kadri as part of the Flames' rally after falling behind 5-3 in the second period. Andersson is up to 38 points, 157 shots on net, 183 blocked shots, 42 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 76 contests overall.
