Hedman notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Hedman has two goals and seven assists over his last seven outings. The defenseman helped out on a Steven Stamkos goal in the final minute of the third period Saturday, which forced overtime. Hedman is up to 69 points, 142 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 62 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 68 appearances on the year.

Anderson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Anderson took the shot himself on a 2-on-1 rush early in the third period to give the Kings a 3-1 lead. That's not his usual forte -- he has just two goals on the year. The defenseman is at 17 points, 76 shots on net, 103 hits, 114 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 62 contests overall, serving as a defensive stalwart in the Kings' top four.

Gavrikov scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Gavrikov struck 25 seconds into overtime to help the Kings bounce back after squandering a two-goal lead. He has three points over his last three contests to rebound from a stretch of 15 outings from Feb. 18-March 16 in which he logged just two assists. For the season, the 28-year-old has six goals, 20 points, 97 shots on net, 91 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 65 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Fox logged a goal and a helper in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Panthers.

With the Rangers down 2-0 early in the second period, Fox fired a power-play goal into the back of the net to get his team on the board. Fox added an assist, five shots on net and three blocked shots in 28:53 of ice time. His offensive upside and power-play role make him a valuable asset for any fantasy manager, so look for him to continue his production as the Rangers push toward the playoffs.

Mahura recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

After leaving the last game in the third period with a lower-body injury, Mahura returned to his regular spot on the first pairing with partner Brandon Montour. Mahura provided the primary assist on the opening goal and finished with two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 16:28 of ice time. In his past five contests, the blueliner has recorded two assists, 10 PIM, eight hits and four blocked shots. His value lies in peripherals like hits, blocks and some penalty minutes. If a league rewards these categories, Mahura could be a decent depth option.

Forsling is dealing with an illness and is questionable to play Sunday versus the Flyers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Forsling missed Saturday's game versus the Rangers, but the Panthers didn't provide an explanation until after the contest. If Forsling remains out Sunday, Tobias Bjornfot will likely stay in the lineup.

Chabot scored a goal and added an assists Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Devils.

Since missing five games with a lower-body injury, Chabot has put up five points, including two goals, in his last four contests. He has 27 points in 42 appearances this season, and Chabot has played well when he's on the ice. However, the harsh reality is injuries have prevented him from ever playing a full season. The 27-year-old defenseman could be an elite offensive performer and steady crease clearer if he could stay healthy.

Boqvist (upper body) is not in the lineup Saturday versus the Golden Knights, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

There are no changes in the Blue Jackets' skaters from Friday's game versus Colorado. Boqvist will miss his fifth straight contest, and there's been no update regarding his timeline to return. The Blue Jackets' next game is Tuesday versus the Coyotes.

Mahura (lower body) will play Saturday versus the Rangers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Mahura left Thursday's 3-0 loss to Nashville due to the injury, but he'll be able to suit up in Saturday's contest. Gustav Forsling (undisclosed) won't play Saturday, so Mahura is expected to fill a top-four role while Tobias Bjornfot makes his Panthers debut.

Forsling (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game against the Rangers, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Forsling has 10 goals, 35 points, 41 PIM, 92 hits and 92 blocked shots in 68 contests this season. Tobias Bjornfot will make his Panthers debut Saturday because of Forsling's absence.
