Sanderson delivered three assists in a 5-4 shootout win over Montreal on Saturday.

Two of his helpers came on the power play. Sanderson has 38 points (14 on the man advantage) and 28 assists in 77 games this season. He sits second on the Senators in scoring from the blue line behind only Jakob Chychrun (40). The 21-year-old Sanderson is already an impressive defender just two seasons into his NHL career.

Zellweger posted an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

Zellweger continues to look increasingly comfortable with two goals and four assists over his last seven contests. The 20-year-old has seen top-pairing usage in that span, which has likely helped him get more involved on offense. He's at nine points, 34 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 25 appearances as a rookie this season.

Fowler logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings.

Fowler has an assist in each of the last four games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in six of the past eight contests. The defenseman's late-season surge has him up to 38 points, 109 shots on net, 116 blocked shots and a minus-36 rating through 80 appearances. He has returned solid offense for fantasy managers who don't have to worry about his horrid plus-minus.

Dumba registered three shots and one hit Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Dumba has just one assist in 16 games with Tampa Bay since being acquired from Arizona, but he has managed to deliver in other categories. He has 46 hits, 21 blocks and 23 shots while averaging 18:51 of ice time per contest. Dumba's early-career offense in Minnesota has yet to be repeated, which limits his fantasy value.

Doughty notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Doughty has earned a goal and five helpers over his last eight contests. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 50 points for the season, his second year in a row at that level. He's also reached that milestone five times in his career. Doughty has added 131 shots on net, 140 blocked shots, 108 hits, 44 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 80 appearances in 2023-24.

Roy scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Roy is up to three points over seven contests since the start of April. The 29-year-old defenseman's tally Saturday stood as the game-winner. Roy has five goals, 25 points, 132 shots on net, 152 hits, 194 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 79 appearances this season, putting him one point shy of matching his career-best scoring total from last season.

Nurse notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

Nurse has a goal and three helpers over his last five outings. The 29-year-old defenseman assisted on Evander Kane's second-period tally to prevent the Oilers from getting shut out. Nurse is up to 29 points, 178 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 165 hits, 79 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 79 contests in a top-four role.

Zadorov provided an assist and six hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

Zadorov has two helpers and 21 PIM over six contests in April. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to offer some depth offense and plenty of physicality in a third-pairing role. He's up to 20 points, 87 shots on net, 170 hits, 66 blocked shots, 98 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 73 contests between the Canucks and the Flames this season.

Myers notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers.

Myers has an assist in each of the last three games. The 34-year-old's helper Saturday set up Pius Suter for the game-winning tally in the second period. Myers is up to 27 points, 89 shots on net, 77 PIM, 106 hits, 130 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 75 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Carlson scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay.

He scored on a high wrist shot from the right circle on a third-period power play to push the Capitalss ahead 3-2. Carlson's 150th NHL goal moved him past Kevin Hatcher for the most goals by a defender in franchise history. Carlson has nine markers and 51 points in 80 games this season. He's tied with Shayne Gostisbehere for 15th among NHL blueliners in scoring.
