Chabot scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.

Both points came in the third period as he dragged the Senators out of a 2-0 deficit to earn a point in the standings. Chabot has been a steady contributor over the last month, recording two goals and eight points in the last 12 games with exactly half that production coming on the power play. The 27-year-old blueliner has missed significant time this season due to injuries, but if he's able to stay healthy, he should be able to put together a strong finish to the campaign.

Toews had an assist, two shots on net and one block in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.

Toews picked up a secondary helper on Ryan Johansen's second-period tally, giving him points in three of the last four games. That mini-explosion of offense came after a six-game drought for Toews.

Johnson recorded an assist, two blocks and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Vancouver.

Johnson's shot attempt was off the mark, but the puck bounced off the back boards and Ryan Johansen was in position to backhand it in for Colorado's first goal. It was the third point in two games for Johnson, who is not known for his offense. He's up to 12 points over 55 games, the most he's had since 2018-19.

Boqvist scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

Boqvist's second-period tally got the Blue Jackets on the board, but that was all Cam Talbot would give up. The 23-year-old Boqvist snapped a six-game point drought with the goal, his first of the season. He's up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 24 appearances in what's been another injury-riddled campaign. While he often sees first-pairing minutes at even strength, his point production is too low to have much utility in fantasy.

Clarke notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Clarke has four points over his last four games, including a pair of power-play helpers. He took a stretch pass from Cam Talbot and fed Pierre-Luc Dubois on the Kings' second tally Tuesday. Clarke has had a choppy path to playing time this season, but his recent play suggests he's leapfrogged Jordan Spence for a spot on the third pairing. Clarke is up to five points, 24 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 10 outings this season.

Doughty scored a goal on four shots, added a power-play assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Doughty picked up both of his points late in the third period as the Kings ran away with the game. He's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, and his goal was his first in 10 outings. The defenseman is up to 12 tallies, 31 points, 98 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 80 hits and a plus-12 rating through 54 appearances. Doughty remains a steady all-around fantasy blueliner in a top-pairing role.

Theodore logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

Theodore jumped right back into a top-four role, ending the game with 21:03 of ice time. This was his first game since Nov. 22 due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman has 19 points, 53 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 21 appearances. Theodore has the most scoring upside of any Vegas blueliner, and it's worth checking the waiver wire to see if an impatient fantasy manager dropped him during his lengthy absence.

Martinez recorded two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

Martinez wasn't negatively impacted by Shea Theodore's return Tuesday, aside from losing his power-play role. With five helpers over his last two games, Martinez is enjoying one of his best bursts of offense this season. He'll likely be focusing on the defensive side of things going forward, but he's had a good campaign with 16 points, 57 shots on net, 126 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 39 appearances.

Pietrangelo scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.

Pietrangelo had nine assists over 13 games between tallies. The 34-year-old got the Golden Knights on the board in the first period with his third goal of the season. He's up to 27 points, 117 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 51 appearances. Shea Theodore returned Tuesday after a long-term absence, and he'll likely get first-unit power-play duties, so Pietrangelo's offense could take a hit for the remainder of the campaign if Theodore is able to stay healthy.

Carrier logged an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

This was Carrier's second point over five games since the All-Star break. The 27-year-old blueliner has held down a steady bottom-four role this season, though a lack of power-play time has suppressed his offense. He's at 16 points, 44 shots on net, 48 hits, 104 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 51 appearances this season.
