McDonagh scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.

McDonagh set up a Thomas Novak tally to spark the third-period comeback, and the forward returned the favor on McDonagh's game-winner at 1:36 of overtime. This was the 34-year-old defenseman's third multi-point effort of the campaign. He's been solid in a primarily defensive role with 14 points through 45 outings, though he's earned four power-play points, his most since the 2017-18 campaign. McDonagh has added 81 blocked shots, 58 shots on net and a plus-4 rating.

Josi scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.

Josi put the Predators ahead 2-1 in the second period, and he also helped out on Filip Forsberg's equalizer in the third when that lead didn't hold. This was Josi's fifth multi-point effort over his last 11 games, a span in which he's racked up 15 points. The star defenseman is enjoying a strong campaign with 11 tallies, 36 helpers, 19 power-play points, 167 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 52 appearances.

Larsson logged an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

Larsson has two helpers over his last four contests to bounce back from a five-game slump in mid-January. The defenseman continues to see big defensive minutes on the top pairing. He's at 16 points, 83 shots on net, 103 hits, 96 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 51 contests this season, though that's behind the pace that saw him rack up a career-best 33 points a year ago.

Dunn notched two assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

Dunn crossed the 30-assist mark Saturday by helping out on tallies from Tomas Tatar and Jared McCann. That's now four assists over five games since Dunn returned from an undisclosed injury. The defenseman continues to be a two-way force for the Kraken with 39 points (14 on the power play), 48 blocked shots, 52 PIM and 97 shots on net through 47 appearances.

Fleury had a plus-1 and four blocked shots in 22:07 of ice time during a 4-2 win over Columbus on Saturday.

Fleury missed 12 games with a hand injury after blocking a shot before sitting out the past two contests as a healthy scratch. He doesn't shine in any specific fantasy category, so he's best left on the wire.

Seeler notched a shorthanded assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Seeler went over two months without a point, coming up empty in 26 straight games. While he's been a non-factor on offense, the 30-year-old's physical play has kept him on the third pairing. Seeler has eight helpers (three shorthanded) with 61 shots on net, 67 PIM, 75 hits, 153 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating through 53 contests this season.

York logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

York snapped his four-game skid when he set up Scott Laughton's tally in the first period. With just five points over his last 17 outings, York's offense hasn't been matching his top-four role. The defenseman is at 18 points, 73 shots on net, 94 blocked shots, 39 hits and a minus-9 rating through 53 contests this season. As long as he retains a power-play role, he'll have some intrigue for fantasy managers.

Sanheim notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Sanheim endured a tough nine-game drought from Dec. 31-Jan. 15, but he's bounced back a bit with three helpers over his last nine outings. His assist Saturday was on Sean Couturier's go-ahead goal in the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. Sanheim is at 28 points, 94 shots on net, 84 blocked shots, 41 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 52 outings. The Flyers have a variety of power-play options, so Sanheim's usage has been more purely defensive since early December, though he still occasionally sees time with the man advantage.

Zadorov has been suspended for two games for his illegal check to the head on Lucas Raymond during Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Zadorov also received a match penalty due to the incident, which occurred at 4:11 of the second period. The defenseman has four assists, 60 PIM, 62 hits and 29 blocks in 27 contests this season. Zadorov will be eligible to return Thursday for Vancouver's rematch against the Red Wings. In the meantime, Mark Friedman will likely draw into the lineup.

Malinski was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Malinski was scratched for Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers. It was his third scratch in four games since the All-Star break, so it's no surprise he's going down to the Eagles to get some playing time. Malinski has emerged as the top call-up option when the Avalanche need reinforcements.
