Andersson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.

Andersson's offense has come around a bit recently -- he has four points and 23 shots on net over his last nine contests. The defenseman is up to nine goals, 36 points, 153 shots, 176 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 73 outings overall. Andersson continues to see significant minutes in a top-four role.

Oleksiak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.

Oleksiak snapped a four-game dry spell when he set up Will Borgen's third-period tally. The 31-year-old Oleksiak has had a mediocre year on offense with 14 points through 77 contests, but he's on track to avoid missing a game for the first time in his career. The blueliner has added 104 shots on net, 165 blocked shots, 107 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-2 rating in a second-pairing role.

Borgen scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.

Borgen had the final goal in the game, snapping a six-game point drought. The 27-year-old defenseman has put together a career year with three goals, 25 points, 91 shots on net, 186 hits, 108 blocked shots, 65 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 77 appearances. Borgen continues to serve as a physical presence on the second pairing.

Schultz scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Coyotes.

Schultz has five points over his last five outings. The 33-year-old defenseman has struggled to put up steady offense for much of the season outside of the last couple of weeks. He's up to seven goals, 25 points, 93 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating over 65 appearances. Schultz's place in the lineup is likely safe as long as Vince Dunn (upper body) remains out.

Gavrikov notched an assist, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks.

Gavrikov has three helpers over five games in April, and he's added 13 blocks in that span. The 28-year-old blueliner doesn't have to put up offense to remain in a second-pairing role as a steady defender. He's managed 23 points, 106 shots on net, 109 blocks and a plus-6 rating through 73 outings overall.

Gudas notched an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

This was Gudas' first point in three games since he returned from a 10-game absence due to an upper-body injury. That lengthy absence is about the only negative on an otherwise strong season from the hard-hitting blueliner. He's racked up 17 points in 63 outings, matching his point total from 72 contests a year ago, while adding 221 hits, 148 blocked shots, 126 PIM, 85 shots on net and a plus-12 rating.

Fowler notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Fowler has a helper in each of the last two games and four points over his last six contests. The 32-year-old continues to see heavy minutes on the Ducks' top pairing, and he's chipped in solid offense in 2023-24. For the season, Fowler is at 36 points (17 on the power play), 106 shots on net, 113 blocked shots and a minus-36 rating through 78 appearances.

Harley notched a pair of assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Harley set up Wyatt Johnson's goal 3:38 into the third period before adding a second helper on Joe Pavelski's eventual game-winning tally later in the frame. The 22-year-old blueliner now has five assists in his last two contests after notching three power-play helpers in Sunday's win over Colorado. Harley's up to 47 points (15 goals, 32 assists) through 76 appearances while earning a top-pairing spot alongside Miro Heiskanen this season.

McCabe picked up two assists in a 5-2 win over the Devils on Tuesday.

McCabe has three points (one goal, two assists) over his last two games and 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists) in 71 contests. Those 28 points are a career high for the defender.

Hanley (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Hanley will miss his third straight game with the injury. Nikita Okhotyuk and Brayden Pachal will be in the lineup because Hanley and Oliver Kylington (upper body) are unavailable. The Flames' next game is Thursday versus the Kings.
