Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Pietrangelo was initially credited with the goal, but Jonathan Marchessault got a piece of it. The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in his last three outings. The 34-year-old defenseman has predictably taken a back seat to Shea Theodore on offense in recent games following Theodore's return from an upper-body injury. Pietrangelo is at 28 points, 123 shots on net, 128 blocked shots, 43 hits and a minus-1 rating through 54 games this season.

Chatfield had two hits and two shots on net in a 3-2 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

After missing the last four games with an upper-body injury, Chatfield returned to his regular spot on the third pairing with partner Dmitry Orlov. Chatfield finished with two shots, two hits, one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in 15:32 of ice time. He's not known for his offensive contributions and is primarily valuable for blocked shots and hits in deeper fantasy leagues.

Thrun logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.

The helper was Thrun's first point since Jan. 9, ending his nine-game drought. He missed six contests in that span due to a shoulder injury. Thrun has four points, 29 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating over 26 appearances at the NHL level this season. He's got some potential, but he's unlikely to realize most of it in 2023-24 while playing for one of the league's worst offenses.

Siegenthaler notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

The helper was Siegenthaler's first point in five games since he returned from a foot injury. The defenseman has added seven blocked shots while going minus-4 in that span. He's not one to put up much offense, instead offering steady defense most of the time. Siegenthaler has nine points, 48 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 63 hits and a minus-5 rating through 43 appearances this season.

Marino produced an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Marino had been held without a point over his previous three contests following a one-game absence due to an illness. The 26-year-old defenseman snapped the short slump by helping out on a Dawson Mercer tally in the third period. Marino has reached the 20-point mark for the third time in his five-year career. He's added 49 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 58 appearances in a top-four role.

Sanheim tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over Tampa Bay.

Sanheim scored the game-winning goal in the final period for his eighth goal of the year. He added an assist on the final empty-net goal, made three hits, one shot on net, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 23:43 of ice time. This was a back-to-back multi-point game for Sanheim and the fourth game in a row that he provided at least one point. Sanheim's recent performance has been very encouraging since he's a defenseman. If he can maintain this offensive production, he'll become a valuable fantasy asset.

Bahl scored a goal on two shots, went plus-3, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Bahl stretched the Devils' lead to 3-1 in the second period shortly after a Timo Meier tally was taken off the board on a review. The goal was Bahl's first of the season, and he's picked up a point in two of the last three games. The 23-year-old blueliner is mostly a physical presence for the Devils, posting 122 hits, 78 blocked shots and 43 PIM in addition to his 10 points and 47 shots on net through 59 outings this season.

Miller scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Miller snapped an eight-game point drought with his third-period tally. His goal was the first of four over 5:16 for the Devils as they ran away with the lead. The 31-year-old functioned as the seventh defenseman in the lineup Tuesday and has rarely seen more than a third-pairing role. He's at seven points, 59 shots on net, 71 hits, 31 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Smith scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Smith contributed a goal in the Devils' four-goal blitz over 5:16 during the third period. The 35-year-old Smith has four points over his last five appearances. He's up to nine points, 40 shots on net, 81 hits, 55 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 41 appearances. He's not guaranteed a spot in the Devils' lineup, but he's played fairly regularly as a bottom-four blueliner this season.

Myers posted an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Myers has four points and 10 blocked shots over his last six outings. The defenseman set up a Nils Hoglander tally midway through the first period. Myers is up to 23 points, 65 shots on net, 63 PIM, 85 hits, 112 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 61 contests this season. He's steady enough in the non-scoring categories to be a solid depth defenseman in fantasy.
