Theodore notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Theodore set up a Chandler Stephenson goal in the third period to get the Golden Knights within a goal, but Yegor Chinakhov answered just over a minute later for the Blue Jackets. The helper was Theodore's 10th over seven games since he returned from an upper-body injury -- he's been held off the scoresheet just once in that span. For the season, the defenseman has 28 points, 64 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 27 contests.

Andersson notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.

Andersson's offense is coming back around -- he has four helpers, including one on the power play, over his last six games. The defenseman endured a seven-game drought prior to his recent bounce back. Overall, he's produced 32 points, 123 shots on net, 133 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 57 contests in a top-four role.

Larsson scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Larsson's tally 21 seconds into the third period ended up being the game-winner. The tally was his third point in 11 games since the All-Star break. The 31-year-old defenseman has contributed little offense while serving as the more defensive member of the Kraken's first pairing. He's at four goals, 18 points, 94 shots on net, 127 hits, 120 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 61 appearances this season.

Jones notched an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Jones had been a healthy scratch for 18 straight games before subbing in for Josh Manson (lower body) in this contest. The helper was Jones' second point in his last four games, though he likely doesn't have much of a case for more playing time once Manson returns. Jones is at five helpers, 17 shots on net, 29 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Girard logged an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Girard snapped a 10-game point drought when he helped out on Jonathan Drouin's first-period tally. Prior to the slump, Girard had worked his way back into fantasy relevance with 11 points across 16 contests following his return from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 25-year-old defenseman is at 16 points, 55 shots on net, 56 hits, 78 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 42 appearances this season. He'll need to find more consistency to be trusted in fantasy.

Toews notched an assist and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Toews has a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. The defenseman set up Nathan MacKinnon's opening tally midway through the first period. Toews is up to 36 points, 118 shots on net, 94 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-17 rating through 63 outings. He's a little behind his scoring pace in previous years, but the 30-year-old has put together another solid campaign in a top-pairing role.

Makar scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and added two PIM in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Makar helped out on Nathan MacKinnon's opening tally in the first period and then scored a goal of his own in the second. This was Makar's second multi-point effort over the last three games after he recently endured a stretch in which he had just five points over 12 outings. The defenseman looks like himself again, and that's good news for the Avalanche and his fantasy managers. Makar has 14 goals, 66 points, 177 shots on net, 110 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 58 appearances.

Dunn (undisclosed) did not return to Monday's game versus the Flames after taking a heavy hit from Martin Pospisil in the third period, per Circling Seattle Sports.

Dunn's status for Tuesday's game versus the Jets is up in the air after head coach Dave Hakstol was unable to provide an update on the defenseman after the contest. Prior to the injury, Dunn picked up an assist, giving him 45 points over 57 outings this season. If he can't play Tuesday, Ryker Evans will likely draw into the lineup.

Lyubushkin assisted on the Maple Leafs' lone goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

It's Lyubushkin's first point since being traded back to Toronto from Anaheim. The assist gives him no goals and five assists through 57 games. Clearly, the Maple Leafs believe he can help them push for a deep playoff run. However, fantasy managers should proceed with caution.

Rielly assisted on a late goal during Monday's 4-1 loss to Boston.

After Rielly's suspension for cross-checking Ottawa's Ridly Greig, the defender went four games without a point. Monday's assist gives Rielly apples in back-to-back games. He looks like he's back to helping the Maple Leafs produce offensively, even if the team didn't manage to put a whole lot on the board Monday.
