Shattenkirk notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Senators.

A healthy scratch for the last two games as the Bruins take a longer look at Andrew Peeke, Shattenkirk hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 2 -- a 25-game drought -- but he's been generous with helpers of late and has eight in his last nine contests. The 35-year-old blueliner also has 12 shots on net, 13 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating during that time.

Guhle scored a goal on one shot, blocked four shots and doled out one hit in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton.

Guhle streaked through the neutral zone down an open alley on the left side, accepted a feed from Jake Evans, and beat Calvin Pickard cleanly glove side to knot the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The tally, Guhle's career-high fifth, snapped an 18-game run without a goal for Guhle. The tally got him to an even plus-minus for the game and helped erase the image of Connor McDavid victimizing him in the first period for Edmonton's first goal, an opportunity created by a teammate's bad turnover in the Montreal zone. As a sign of the coaching staff's growing confidence in the 22-year-old, Guhle spent a team-high 12:28 on the ice with McDavid at five-on-five Tuesday.

Makar had an assist, three shots on net and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Makar extended his point streak to four games with his first-period helper. He has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) during Colorado's seven-game winning streak and 15 over the last 11 contests. The highly-regarded defenseman has moved on from an uncharacteristic seven-game pointless streak in mid-February.

Josi scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 8-2 victory over the Sharks.

Josi opened the scoring for his 18th of the season and added two helpers in the second period to help defeat the Sharks in a blowout win. The 33-year old also provided four shots on net, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in 23:23 of ice time -- it was his third multi-point game in a row. He now sits with 70 points on the season and is third overall on the NHL stats list for points by a defensemen. Josi's ability to consistently produce across various categories -- goals, assists, shots, blocks -- makes him a well-rounded defenseman with a high fantasy ceiling.

Rutta had one blocked shot in 20:12 of ice time in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Nashville.

After missing the last five games with a lower body injury, Rutta returned to his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Henry Thrun. Rutta finished with two shots, one blocked shot and a minus-5 rating in 20:12 of ice time. The 33-year old defenseman offers a solid defensive presence with some peripheral offensive contributions. He may be an option in deeper leagues for managers needing help in the blocked shots and hits categories, but his offensive upside is limited.

Power notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Power has four points over his last four contests. The 21-year-old defenseman continues to find ways to chip in while serving in a top-four role. He's up to 28 points, 91 shots on net, 96 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 64 appearances. He likely doesn't have enough time to match last year's 35-point campaign, but a late surge on offense could change that.

Dahlin scored twice on four shots, blocked four shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Dahlin snapped a nine-game goal drought with his pair of third-period goals. The defenseman had four helpers during that span. The 23-year-old is at a career-high 17 goals while adding 35 assists, 200 shots on net, 163 hits, 133 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances. His offense is notably down from last season, but he still does enough overall to be a strong fantasy blueliner.

Hughes posted two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Hughes helped out on the Canucks' first two goals. The defenseman hasn't slowed down in March, earning a goal and eight helpers over seven contests this month. He's up to 79 points (30 on the power play), 167 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-37 rating through 69 outings overall. Hughes has already posted a career high in points and needs just four more assists to reach the 70-helper mark for the first time.

Theodore notched an assist, four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Theodore has a helper in each of his last five outings. He took care of extending his streak early on, setting up Jonathan Marchessault's goal 1:14 into the game. Theodore has 33 points in as many contests this season while adding 52 blocked shots, 76 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in a top-four role.

Hutton scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

This was Hutton's second game in a row in the lineup after a stretch of 29 straight absences, 16 of which were due to an upper-body injury. With the Golden Knights fading, head coach Bruce Cassidy has turned to the veteran Hutton over Zach Whitecloud for a third-pairing role. Hutton has two goals, 10 points, 53 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances, but he'll need to be good in all zones to stay in the lineup.
