Matheson had two assists -- one on the power play -- three shots on net, three blocks and one hit in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Matheson was the secondary helper on Nick Suzuki's power-play strike, then was the main assistant on Cole Caufield's even-strength tally. The defenseman ran his assist streak to three games and is within shouting distance of 60 points, needing five over the final six games.

Bouchard scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Bouchard's tally midway through the third period was the game-winner. He has two goals and five assists over his last seven contests. The defenseman is up to 17 goals, 79 points (35 on the power play), 206 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 64 hits and a plus-31 rating through 76 outings overall. Bouchard continues to provide elite offense from the blue line.

Cole recorded an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Cole has two helpers over his last six outings. The 35-year-old defenseman is far from a regular contributor on offense, instead, Cole provides physicality in a bottom-four role. He's recorded 11 points, 60 shots on net, 59 PIM, 76 hits and 157 blocked shots through 74 appearances this season.

Zadorov posted a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Zadorov set up Teddy Blueger's third-period goal for his first point in his last six appearances. The 28-year-old Zadorov remains a bottom-four fixture for the Canucks. For the season, he has 19 points, 84 shots on net, 158 hits, 65 blocked shots, 119 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 71 appearances between the Canucks and the Flames.

Hronek managed an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Hronek has a helper in three of the last four contests after going without a point in 10 straight games during much of March. Getting the 26-year-old defenseman back in a groove is a big boost for the Canucks, especially if the momentum carries over into the playoffs. He's had a career year with 48 points, 144 shots on net, 95 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-33 rating through 77 appearances.

Spence provided an assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Spence has a helper in each of the last two games after going four contests without a point. The 23-year-old defenseman has remained on the third pairing for most of the campaign, offering some offensive upside with a role on the second power-play unit. Spence has 23 points, 73 shots on net, 62 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 66 outings.

Anderson provided an assist, fired two shots on goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Anderson ended a six-game slump when he helped out on a Kevin Fiala tally in the second period. The assist put Anderson at 18 points over 69 appearances this season. He's added 83 shots on net, 118 hits, 127 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating. The 24-year-old defenseman plays a heavy defensive role on the top pairing, which leads to some residual offense but not enough to make him a steady option in standard fantasy formats.

Kylington left Saturday's game versus the Oilers late in the third period, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Kylington collided with teammate Nazem Kadri and got the worst of the run-in. There was no update on Kylington's status after the contest, so he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's tilt versus the Sharks. The Flames are out of playoff contention, so even a mild injury at this stage of the season could be enough for the team to shut down Kylington for the remainder of the campaign.

Doughty scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Both of Doughty's points came on first-period power plays. The goal was his first since Feb. 29, though he's picked up nine assists over the 17 contests in between. Through 77 games, Doughty has 15 goals, 33 helpers, 20 power-play points, 124 shots on net, 103 hits, 136 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating in a workhorse role on the top pairing.

Reilly logged an assist in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Predators.

Reilly has two helpers over his last five contests. The 30-year-old continues to see steady bottom-four usage, and he's provided decent offense in that role for the Islanders. He's at 20 points, 118 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 56 appearances this season between the Islanders and the Panthers.
