Matheson had a power-play assist, two shots on net and two blocks in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Columbus.

Matheson was the primary assistant on Juraj Slafkovsky's power-play strike at the 3:15 mark of the first period. It was Matheson's second consecutive game with a power-play assist and his 19th of the season with the man-advantage unit. Matheson is cruising toward his first 50-point season -- he needs just three points over the season's final 17 games to reach that mark.

Borgen notched an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Borgen had a shot tipped in by Matty Beniers in the third period. With five helpers over his last 10 outings, Borgen continues to chip in some surprising depth offense while adding physical play and defense on the Kraken's second pairing. The 27-year-old blueliner has a career-high 23 points with 67 shots on net, 56 PIM, 162 hits, 84 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 64 appearances this season.

McNabb posted an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

McNabb has earned four points over his last seven outings. The defenseman set up a William Karlsson goal in the third period, which was the catalyst for the Golden Knights' comeback. McNabb is enjoying one of the best years of his career with three goals, 18 assists, 62 shots on net, 109 hits, 170 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 65 appearances.

Theodore notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

Theodore helped out on a William Karlsson goal in the third period, which sparked the Golden Knights' comeback. The 28-year-old Theodore continues to be a strong playmaker from the blue line. He has four helpers over his last six games, putting him at 30 points, 71 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 30 contests overall. He should continue to see time in a top-four role.

Pietrangelo notched an assist, two shots on goal, five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

Pietrangelo fed Jack Eichel for the goal on an odd-man rush at 3:01 of overtime. This was Pietrangelo's second assist over five games in March. The 34-year-old has seen more defensive usage since Shea Theodore rejoined the lineup, and Noah Hanifin will likely also eat into Pietrangelo's looks on offense. For the season, he has 31 points, 148 blocked shots, 134 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 60 appearances.

Pachal notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

The helper was Pachal's second point in 16 outings with the Flames. He has been a regular on their blue line since he was claimed off waivers from the Golden Knights. Pachal is up to three points, 31 shots on net, 94 hits, 43 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances between the two teams this season. He'll likely continue to see third-pairing usage in Calgary.

Miromanov scored a goal on eight shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Miromanov tied the game at 1-1 at 3:24 of the first period. The 26-year-old defenseman had not recorded a point all season, but he has received a chance to play after being traded from the Golden Knights to the Flames in the Noah Hanifin deal. Miromanov has added 17 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. He'll likely continue to play in a bottom-four role at even strength while also getting a look on the power play.

Walker produced an assist, eight shots on goal and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

This was Walker's second game with the Avalanche after he was dealt from the Flyers. The 29-year-old defenseman has been listed on the third pairing, but he saw 19:04 of ice time Tuesday, trailing only Cale Makar (23:42) on Colorado's blue line. Walker is up to 23 points, 117 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 88 hits and a plus-8 rating through 65 outings this season.

Makar notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

The Calgary native has four points over three games against his hometown team this season. Makar has four goals and seven assists over his last eight outings, providing steady offense once again after slumping for a large portion of February. The defenseman is up to 71 points, 187 shots on net, 115 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 61 appearances.

Toews recorded two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Flames.

Toews earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 16 by helping out on goals from Valeri Nichushkin and Casey Mittelstadt in the second period. Over his last seven outings, Toews has a goal and six helpers. The defenseman is up to 39 points, 128 shots on net, 97 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-24 rating through 66 appearances this season.
