Byram had two assists, two shots on net and one blocked shot in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Coyotes.

Byram helped put Colorado ahead 1-0 early in the first period and then assisted on a game-tying goal in the second period. The defenseman has recorded two points in three consecutive games and has seven points over nine games since returning from a lower-body injury. Following the game, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar noted to Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now the recent video work Byram put in with assistant coach Nolan Pratt, which made an immediate impact on the blueliner.

Moser recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Moser has four assists over his last seven games. The 24-year-old blueliner continues to see top-four minutes, though he's seen very little power-play time in recent weeks. He's been solid with 21 points, 49 shots on net, 61 hits, 77 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 52 outings overall, which gives him fantasy appeal in deeper formats.

Dumba scored a goal, added an assist, logged four hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.

This was Dumba's first multi-point effort of the campaign. He already has three points over six games in February after logging just a single assist in December and January combined. The 29-year-old is at four goals, four assists, 52 shots on net, 122 hits, 76 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 50 appearances.

Karlsson recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

Karlsson set up a Sidney Crosby goal late in the first period. While Karlsson hasn't scored in 13 games, he's logged 10 assists, including four on the power play, in that span. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to 38 points, 121 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 52 outings overall. He'll likely never come near his 101-point total from last season again, but he still puts up strong offense from the blue line.

Doughty notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Doughty has helpers in consecutive contests since he snapped a four-game slump. The defenseman set up the first of Adrian Kempe's two goals in this game. Doughty has been solid all around this season with 29 points, 94 shots on net, 102 blocked shots, 78 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 53 appearances.

Dobson notched three assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Despite the big offensive showing, it was Dobson's defensive gaffe that made the biggest impact. Getting the puck in his own zone right after the opening faceoff of OT, the 24-year-old saw his outlet pass knocked out of midair by Artemi Panarin, leading to the game-winning goal just 10 seconds into the extra frame. Dobson has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games and nine of the last 10, producing one goal and 15 points over that stretch, and his 58 points on the season (seven goals, 51 assists) are third among NHL defensemen behind Quinn Hughes (66) and Cale Makar (60).

Fox recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Islanders.

It's the third multi-point performance in the last four games for Fox, with all eight of his points during that hot streak being helpers. The 26-year-old blueliner has been locked in longer than the last week, though -- over the last 15 games, he's racked up three goals and 19 points. Even after missing most of November with a lower-body injury, Fox could produce his third straight season with 70-plus points if he can stay on the ice, as he has 45 in 45 games.

Lindgren (upper body) is being evaluated after Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Islanders, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Lindgren tallied an assist while logging 13:59 of ice time before exiting in the third period after taking a stick to the face from Alexander Romanov. The Rangers will be back in action Tuesday against the Stars. Lindgren has 10 points in 53 contests this season.

Lagesson (upper body) is "day-to-day" and has a chance to play Monday versus St. Louis, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

It was initially reported that Lagesson would miss time after leaving Saturday's game against the Ducks, though it now appears the injury isn't as serious as originally feared. If Lagesson can suit up against the Blues, it would be a big boost to a Toronto defensive corps currently ravaged by injuries. The 27-year-old Lagesson has three assists while averaging 14:21 of ice time through 25 games this season.

Heiskanen notched an assist, four shots on goal an two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Heiskanen has two goals and four assists over his last eight outings. The 24-year-old defenseman helped out on a Thomas Harley tally in the second period. Those two blueliners have paired well together as a force in all zones for the Stars, and they'll be leaned on even more with Nils Lundkvist (concussion) and Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) questionable heading into the team's upcoming four-game road trip. Heiskanen has 33 points, 104 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 45 outings this season, giving him a reasonable chance at reaching the 50-point mark for the second year in a row.
