Zac Jones D | UTA
Rangers' Zac Jones: Making most of opportunities
Jones dished out an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Jones picked up his sixth helper of the season on Kaapo Kakko's third-period insurance goal. After spending the majority of the season in the press box as the team's seventh defenseman, Jones has dressed in each of the last six games with Jacob Trouba (lower body) sidelined. Jones has seen sheltered minutes, but the skilled defenseman has held his own with two assists and a plus-3 rating during this six-game stretch. With Ryan Lindgren (lower body) potentially poised to miss time as well after exiting Sunday's win, Jones is unlikely to leave the lineup anytime soon.

Jalen Chatfield D | CAR
Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Productive again Sunday
Chatfield notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Senators.
Chatfield extended Carolina's lead to 4-2 early in the third period, working his way into the slot before beating Anton Forsberg with a wrister. The blueliner added a second point later in the frame with an assist on Jake Guentzel's tally. The 27-year-old Chatfield has been on a nice run recently, posting seven points (two goals, five assists) in his last eight contests. He's up to seven goals and 21 points, both career highs, through 59 games this season.

Adam Ginning D | LV
Flyers' Adam Ginning: Recalled from minors
Ginning was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Ginning picked up five hits and one blocked shot in 18:11 of ice time during his NHL season debut against Florida on March 7. He has compiled two goals, 13 points and 82 PIM in 56 AHL contests this campaign.

Thomas Chabot D | OTT
Senators' Thomas Chabot: Two points in return
Chabot logged a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
After missing five games with a lower-body injury, Chabot made his presence felt in his return to the Senators' lineup, tying the game 1-1 with a goal in the first period before adding an assist on Tim Stutzle's marker in the second. The 27-year-old blueliner had four goals and six points in eight games prior to the injury. Overall, Chabot's up to 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) through 39 games this season.

Noah Hanifin D | LV
Golden Knights' Noah Hanifin: Two helpers against Devils
Hanifin notched two assists in Sunday's 3-1 win over New Jersey.
Both helpers came in the third period after Logan Thompson and Jake Allen had kept the game scoreless for the first 40 minutes. Hanifin has a pair of two-point efforts in his first five games for Vegas, but he was held without a point in the other three contests. He remains behind Shea Theodore in the pecking order for power-play shifts.
-
K'Andre Miller D | CAR
Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Two helpers against Isles
Miller collected two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
It's the second straight multi-point performance for Miller, with his five points (one goal, four helpers) during that pair of contests, equaling his output from the prior 15 games combined. The 24-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power play time, so his current surge isn't likely to last long, but on the season he's up to eight goals and 29 points through 66 games.
-
Ben Chiarot D | DET
Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Registers helper in defeat
Chiarot recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Chiarot provided the secondary helper on the first of two goals for burgeoning winger Lucas Raymond. As a second-pairing defenseman who rarely works on the power play, Chiarot isn't the type of player that fantasy managers generally covet. However, the veteran is mixing it up a bit, pairing 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) with 130 hits and 135 blocked shots through 63 games.

Jeff Petry D | MIN
Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Manages helper in loss
Petry recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
This was the first point in eight games for Petry, who has struggled with a minus-9 rating over that span. He's been physical with 18 hits and 23 blocked shots amid the slump, but the Wings need more out of pretty much everyone, as they are 2-10-0 over their last 12 games. For the season, Petry has two goals, 17 assists, 112 hits and 114 blocked shots in 59 games, which aren't numbers that jump off the page.

Jackson LaCombe D | ANA
Ducks' Jackson LaCombe: Notches assist in loss
LaCombe recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blues.
LaCombe has played in six of the Ducks' nine games in March -- the additions of William Lagesson and Gustav Lindstrom have cut into his playing time. LaCombe snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on the first of Troy Terry's two goals Sunday. LaCombe is up to 13 points, 49 shots on net, 105 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-26 rating through 58 appearances, and he's no lock to remain in the lineup the rest of the way.
