Kovacevic picked up two assists while logging a plus-2 rating in 19:28 of ice time in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Flyers.

Kovacevic assisted on a pair of Brendan Gallagher goals in the second and third periods of Tuesday's blowout win. The apples snapped a 10-game pointless streak for Kovacevic, who is up to a meager six goals and 11 points through 59 games on the season. Despite his strong performance against Philadelphia, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kovacevic exit the lineup if and when Kaiden Guhle (upper body) is ready to return.

Harris registered three assists in a 9-3 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Harris snapped a seven-game scoring drought. He has two goals and 13 points in 53 outings in 2023-24. Although Harris came up big Tuesday, the 23-year-old blueliner isn't known for his offensive contributions and that's not projected to change.

DeMelo scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Nashville.

DeMelo extended Winnipeg's lead to 3-1 in the first period, beating Juuse Saros with a wrister from the slot. The 30-year-old blueliner has points in five of his last six games and 10 (two goals, eight assists) in his previous 13 contests. Overall, DeMelo's up to a career-high 30 points (three goals, 27 assists) through 78 games this season.

Josi picked up a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Josi set up Spencer Stastney's goal in the third period before adding a second helper on Ryan O'Reilly's tally later in the frame. The 33-year-old Josi had cooled off a bit recently, recording just two points (both goals) in his previous five contests. Still, it's been another strong campaign from the four-time All-Star. He's up to 80 points (21 goals, 59 assists), third among defensemen, through 79 games this season.

Dahlin scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.

Dahlin put Buffalo ahead 2-1 midway through the opening period, sliding a wrister through Jake Oettinger for his 20th goal of the season. It's the first time the 23-year-old blueliner has reached that mark in his NHL career. Dahlin now has three goals and five points in his last five games. He's up to 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) through 78 games this year.

Makar had a goal on five shots, two assists, two blocks and one hit in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Minnesota. One of the assists came on the power play.

Makar has points in four straight games, totaling a goal and five assists during that stretch. The defenseman's tally was significant in a variety of ways. It was the game-winner (his first GWG of the season), his 20th tally of the season (his second time with at least 20 goals) and his 87th point (a new career high).

Tanev notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Tanev had a shot attempt tipped in by Joe Pavelski in the second period, and that goal stood as the game-winner. This is the third straight game with an assist for Tanev, who has remained steady as ever on defense since he was traded from the Flames to the Stars. The blueliner has five points and a plus-7 rating over 16 contests with Dallas, and he's up to 19 points, 52 shots on net, 201 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 72 outings this season.

Dobson recorded two assists and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.

Dobson assisted on two of the goals in the first period for his 59th and 60th assist of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman is now on a modest three-game point streak, scoring two goals and two assists over that span. With 70 points in 78 games played, Dobson has emerged as a legitimate top-tier fantasy defenseman, offering a rare combination of offensive upside and strong peripheral categories.

MacDonald scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

MacDonald converted on a pass from Mike Hoffman at 2:22 of the second period. The 31-year-old MacDonald snapped a 15-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 23 -- he's missed time both due to injury and as a healthy scratch in that span and also spent a stint with AHL San Jose. The winger/defenseman has seven goals, two assists, 49 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-14 rating through 33 appearances this season.

Okhotyuk notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.

Okhotyuk's assist was his first point in seven contests with the Flames since he was traded from the Sharks at the deadline. The 23-year-old has struggled to stay in the lineup even in a bottom-four role. For the season, he has nine points, 52 shots on net, 144 hits, 78 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-25 rating over 50 appearances.
