Kesselring logged an assist, three hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Kesselring has an assist in each of the last two games, and he's up to four points through 13 outings in March. The 24-year-old defenseman helped out on the second of Josh Doan's goals in this game. Kesselring has 17 points, 63 shots on net, 62 PIM, 93 hits and a plus-6 rating over 55 appearances on the year as a bottom-four option.

Durzi supplied two assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Durzi earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 20 by assisting on goals from Matias Maccelli and Nick Bjugstad. This effort also got Durzi to the 100-point mark in his career, a milestone he reached in 202 games. The 25-year-old defenseman has generally been a positive for the Coyotes in his first season with the team, posting 35 points (15 on the power play) with 143 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 appearances.

Oleksiak posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Oleksiak has a helper in each of the last two contests after a stretch where he posted just one assist across 14 games. The defenseman isn't known for his offense, and this has been a down season for him in that regard. He's supplied 12 points, 98 shots on net, 104 hits, 153 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 71 appearances.

Schultz logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Schultz has just three points over 12 outings in March, but two of them have been power-play helpers. The 33-year-old defenseman is on the first unit while both Vince Dunn (upper body) and Ryker Evans (lower body) are out. Schultz has 21 points, 85 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating through 61 contests this season.

Petry recorded an assist and blocked a shot in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.

After being questionable for the game due to an illness, Petry remained in his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Simon Edvinsson. Petry finished with one shot, three hits, one blocked shot and an even rating in 19:56 of ice time. This was only the second point for Petry in March. While he still plays top-four minutes for the Red Wings, the 36-year-old cannot be relied upon for producing points at this stage of his career.

Hakanpaa (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Sharks, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Hakanpaa will miss his fourth straight contest, and it's unclear if he traveled with the Stars for their four-game road trip. Nils Lundkvist remains in the lineup while Hakanpaa is out. The Stars' next game is Thursday in Vancouver.

Boqvist (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Coyotes, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Boqvist will miss his sixth straight game with the injury. His ongoing absence has allowed Jake Christiansen to maintain a bottom-four role in the lineup. The Blue Jackets' road trip ends Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Lauzon (lower body) is expected to play versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

Lauzon missed three games because of the injury. He'll return to a second-pairing role alongside Luke Schenn. Lauzon has two assists and 58 hits over his last 11 outings.

Carrier (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights.

Carrier is in the midst of a nine-game point drought, so his absence likely won't have a large impact in fantasy. With Carrier out, Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) is likely to return Tuesday.

MacDermid (lower body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Toronto, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

MacDermid will miss his second straight contest. He has registered two goals, one assist, 53 PIM and 67 hits in 39 games between the Devils and Avalanche this season. Max Willman will suit up against the Maple Leafs because of MacDermid's absence.
