Savard scored a goal on three shots and had one hit in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Savard's slapshot got past Dustin Wolf late in the second period to pull Montreal within a goal after falling behind, 3-0. It was the sixth tally of the season for Savard, his most since 2018.

Gostisbehere recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

Detroit just put an end to a seven-game losing streak, but nobody should be pointing fingers at Gostisbehere since he earned a goal and five assists over that stretch. The 30-year-old blueliner has 10 goals and 34 assists through 66 games, including a whopping 24 points on the power play. With the Red Wings' chances for a playoff berth at 28.2 percent, they're going to need sustained production from their premier blueliners like Gostisbehere and 2022 Calder Trophy winner Moritz Seider, who also pitched in a helper during the latest contest.

Seider picked up an assist, two blocked shots and four hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

Seider had just two points in a single contest during the Red Wings' seven-game losing streak that mercifully ended in this latest home game against the Sabres. As a top-pairing defenseman assigned to the No. 1 power play, Seider is heavily relied upon to create chances in the attacking zone. However, the Wings have been lost with Dylan Larkin rehabbing a lower-body injury, so the offensive output is likely to be hit-or-miss for Seider until the team gets its captain back. Seider has seven goals, 28 assists, 155 hits and 161 blocked shots this season, but it's only natural for people to measure the German's recent efforts against the backdrop of his Calder Trophy-winning 2021-22 campaign.

Weegar notched three assists and two shots during Saturday's 5-2 win over Montreal.

Weegar contributed to the win all night, providing three assists and leading all skaters with 24:30 of ice time. He also added two hits, two shots on goal and a plus-1 rating. He has been rock solid for the Flames since Chris Tanev was traded to the Stars and continues to build on his career year, though Saturday's outing did snap a four-game scoreless slump. With 15 goals and 36 points on the season, he is a player fantasy managers may want to consider rostering if he is available.

Durzi notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

The assist was Durzi's first contribution on offense over the last seven games. The 25-year-old defenseman remains on the top power-play unit, but he hasn't been connecting lately. For the year, he has 33 points (14 on the power play), 109 shots on net, 133 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 62 appearances in a top-four role.

Moser scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Moser has four points over nine outings in March. The 24-year-old blueliner continues to play on the top pairing for the Coyotes, offering solid production across the board without any one standout category in fantasy. He's up to 26 points, 67 shots on net, 85 hits, 96 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 66 appearances this season.

Bouchard notched an assist, eight shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Bouchard has four helpers over his last three contests. His eight shots Saturday were a season high in a single game. The defenseman is up to 64 points, 174 shots, 90 blocks, 55 hits and a plus-24 rating through 65 appearances. Bouchard should continue to produce steady offense while quarterbacking the Oilers' first power-play unit.

Johnson dished an assist and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Johnson snapped a six-point drought with the assist on the first of Sean Walker's two goals in the game. The 37-year-old Johnson is seeing steady usage on the Avalanche's third pairing this season. He's up to 15 points, 61 shots on net, 65 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 66 appearances. Johnson could reach the 20-point plateau this campaign for the first time since 2016-17.

Makar logged an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Makar helped out on Artturi Lehkonen's last-second goal in overtime. Through seven outings in March, Makar has four goals and six helpers. The defenseman is up to 74 points, 191 shots on net, 117 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 63 contests overall. Makar continues to be one of the top blueliners in the NHL while playing a large role for a strong team.

Walker scored twice on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Walker opened the scoring in the second period and added another goal to tie the game at 2-2 in the third. He earned his first two goals as a member of the Avalanche and has three points over four contests since being acquired from the Flyers. The 29-year-old blueliner has enjoyed a productive campaign with eight goals, 25 points, 120 shots on net, 92 hits, 105 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 67 appearances.
