Andersson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Andersson snapped a seven-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 27-year-old hasn't helped fill the void in blue-line production created when Noah Hanifin was traded to the Golden Knights. Andersson is at eight goals, 33 points, 131 shots on net, 153 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 65 appearances this season. The 27-year-old should continue to see top-four minutes, but expectations for his offense down the stretch should be tempered.

Bouchard notched two assists, five shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Bouchard's poor defense led to the Maple Leafs' third goal, though he at least partially made up for it by assisting on two of the Oilers' goals. On offense, Bouchard has been rock-solid lately with nine helpers over his last six outings. For the season, the 24-year-old is up to 69 points (30 on the power play), 185 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 59 hits and a plus-26 rating through 68 appearances.

Addison notched an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Addison has three helpers over 12 outings in March. He's been able to stick in the lineup regularly this month after ending February with two healthy scratches. The 23-year-old blueliner is up to 17 points, 78 shots on net, 73 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-34 rating through 60 contests between the Sharks and the Wild. Nine of his points have come on the power play, but the Sharks' lack of consistent talent limits Addison's appeal, even with a spot on the first unit.

Ferraro put up an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Ferraro has picked up the pace lately with a goal and four assists over his last five outings. Prior to that warm stretch, he went 18 contests without a point and missed four games with a lower-body injury during the slump. The 25-year-old defenseman has a career-high 19 points with 109 shots on net, 107 hits, 175 blocked shots and a minus-31 rating through 66 appearances. His physicality is a plus, but big minutes on a weak team are far from a sure formula for fantasy success.

Kaiser notched an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

This was Kaiser's first point in three games since he rejoined the NHL roster. The 21-year-old defenseman has five helpers, 12 shots on net, 20 hits, 34 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 26 appearances this season. He's still learning on the job, but in a bottom-four role, Kaiser has little fantasy appeal.

Jones scored twice on four shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

Jones got the Blackhawks within a goal with his third-period tally, then netted the game-winner 18 seconds into overtime. He's produced 10 points over 11 appearances in March, by far his best month of the season to date. The defenseman is up to six goals, 28 points, 151 shots on net, 112 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-17 rating through 56 appearances.

Werenski put up an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Werenski set up an Erik Gudbranson tally in the first period. Over the last six games, Werenski has a goal and five assists. The defenseman is up to 44 points, 173 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 59 appearances, impressive work on a team that's both struggled to score and has gotten scored on frequently.

Gudbranson scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Gudbranson ended a seven-game point drought with his first-period tally. The defenseman has put together a career year, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time with five goals and 15 assists over 67 appearances. He's added 77 shots on net, 63 PIM, a minus-11 rating, 80 hits and 148 blocked shots. While he often sees bottom-four usage, he's been a sneaky-solid source of depth offense and physicality from the blue line.

Whitecloud produced an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Whitecloud set up Jack Eichel's go-ahead tally in the second period. Whitecloud returned to the lineup Saturday after a three-game stint as a healthy scratch, following a stretch in which he was limited to three assists over 15 games. The 27-year-old previously appeared to be a lock for the lineup, but the Golden Knights' beefed-up defense has created competition for third-pairing jobs. Whitecloud is at nine points, 105 hits, 90 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 51 contests overall, so his status in the lineup is of little concern for fantasy purposes.

Theodore posted two assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Theodore set up third-period tallies by Pavel Dorofeyev and Jack Eichel, with the latter's goal being on the power play. While he hasn't scored in 15 games since returning from an upper-body injury, Theodore has 17 helpers in that span. The defenseman is up to 35 points, 81 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 35 appearances this season.
