Toews had an assist, two shots on net, two blocks and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.

Toews helped on Jonathan Drouin's game-winning tally early in the second period. Toews is on a roll with six points over the last six games. A third consecutive 50-point season is within sight for the defender -- Toews needs four points over the final six games to achieve that feat.

Makar had a power-play assist, four shots on net and one block in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Makar's wrist shot deflected into the air and Jonathan Drouin batted it in for the Avalanche's second goal. Makar set a franchise record for assists in a season by a defenseman with the apple -- he now has 63 on the season (29 on the power play). Makar will now set his sights on setting a new career high in points -- he needs five points over the final six games to surpass the 86 points he had in 2021-22.

Spence logged an assist and four PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.

Spence snapped a four-game point drought when he set up Akil Thomas' first NHL goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Spence has offered value in deep fantasy formats as a consistent third-pairing option for the Kings this season. He's at 22 points, 72 shots on net, 61 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 65 appearances while also seeing some power-play time.

He's up to five points, 33 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 17 appearances between the Flames and the Golden Knights this season. He's seen top-four usage and a power-play role with Calgary, so he has some appeal in deep fantasy formats.

Weegar scored a power-play goal on five shots, added an assist, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Weegar opened the scoring in the first period and set up a Daniil Miromanov tally in the second. That assist was Weegar's 200th career point, 48 of which have come over 75 contests this season.

Overall, he's added 189 shots on net, 179 hits, 189 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-2 rating while often looking like the Flames' top blueliner.

The defenseman is up to 29 points, 138 shots on net, 209 hits, 102 blocked shots, 57 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 76 appearances. If he can pick up one more point, he'll reach the 30-point mark for the fifth straight year.

Morrissey notched two assists, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

With five points over his last three contests, Morrissey is heating up on offense again. He's at 63 points (16 on the power play), 192 shots on net, 86 hits, 100 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating through 76 appearances this season.

Chisholm scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Chisholm cut the Avs' lead to 3-2 midway through the second period, beating Justus Annunen from the circle on the man advantage.
