Kylington posted an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Kylington has two goals and an assist over the last three games after beginning his season with eight scoreless outings. The defenseman has added 16 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances. He's on the third pairing for now, but Kylington could be moved up to a top-four role if one or both of Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin are traded.

Andersson logged a power-play assist and six PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Andersson has three helpers over his last three games after snapping a seven-game dry spell. The defenseman helped out on the second of Noah Hanifin's tallies in this contest. Andersson is at 31 points, 126 blocked shots, 118 shots on net, 41 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 54 outings. He's a little behind his usual pace on offense, but he continues to play in a top-four role.

Hunt scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Hunt's goal was his first in eight games for the Flames. He's added 19 shots on net, 23 hits and an even plus-minus rating. He took some shifts alongside Jonathan Huberdeau in Saturday's contest, but Hunt is likely to be a bottom-six option if he stays in the lineup once Andrei Kuzmenko (illness) is healthy enough to return.

Hanifin scored twice on seven shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and blocked four shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Hanifin set a new career high in goals with his 11th tally of the season, a power-play marker in the second period. The defenseman made an impact all over the ice Saturday in one of the best games of his career. He's up to 33 points (seven on the power play), 116 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 58 appearances.

Larsson posted an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and six PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Larsson snapped a five-game slump with his helper on a Jordan Eberle tally in the third period. Larsson was held without a hit for the first time since Jan. 16, though the physicality hasn't helped much to offset his poor scoring performance this season. The 31-year-old defenseman is at 17 points, 91 shots on net, 119 hits, 107 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 57 outings overall.

Dunn scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Wild.

Dunn has two goals and an assist over his last three games, providing steady offense recently. The defenseman reached the 10-goal mark Saturday, the third time in his career he's hit that mark. He's up to 42 points, 111 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 38 hits, 56 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 53 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Middleton posted an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Middleton has turned things around with a helper in each of the last two contests to break out of a 10-game slump. The tough defenseman had the secondary assist on Marcus Johansson's first-period marker. Middleton is up to 20 points, 64 shots on net, 119 hits, 121 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 58 appearances. Aside from the ugly plus-minus, he's on track for career-best marks across the board.

Faber posted an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Faber snapped a five-game point drought with the helper, his 30th of the season. The 21-year-old defenseman has had a handful of scoring slumps, but his strong defensive play has more than made up for when his offense is quiet. Faber has 34 points, 91 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 49 hits and a plus-2 rating over 58 appearances in a top-four role.

Doughty picked up one goal and one assist in a 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim on Saturday.

Doughty produced both points on the power play, including the game-tying goal in the second period. It was another workhorse effort for him, as he was on the ice for a whopping 27:34 of ice time. Over his past eight games, Doughty has produced two goals and four assists. His recent form and the Kings' strong play make him a valuable defenseman with the potential for continued point production.

Mermis scored a goal and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Mermis capped a run of three goals in 5:49 during the second period. He snapped a six-game point drought with his first goal since Oct. 26. The 30-year-old defenseman has seen steady playing time this season, posting eight points with 36 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 34 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 40 appearances. That's not enough offense to help in most fantasy formats.
