Ferraro notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

The 25-year-old defenseman did his best to keep the Sharks in the game, adding four blocked shots, three hits, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Ferraro has three multi-assist performances in the last 10 games, racking up eight helpers in total, but those are his only points during that stretch. San Jose is taking a long look at Calen Addison on the first power-play unit, but Ferraro is quarterbacking the second unit and has been the team's most productive scorer off the blue line of late.

Matheson had a power-play assist, four shots on net, five blocked shots, two hits and two PIM over 27:42 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.

Matheson logged his third assist over the last two games, picking up the secondary helper on Cole Caufield's strike 103 seconds into the game. The assist gave Matheson 30 points (16 on power play) through 42 contests. He's just four points shy of his career-high 34 points, set over 48 games in 2022-23.

Fox scored two goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Capitals.

He was the only Ranger to solve Charlie Lindgren on the afternoon, taking advantage of Washington turnovers in the first and second periods. Fox has four tallies in the last four games, a hot streak that came right on the heels of a 19-game goal drought. On the season, the All-Star blueliner has seven goals and 28 points in 31 contests.

Petry registered two assists to complement a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings.

This was one of Petry's best performances since joining the Red Wings ahead of this season. The 36-year-old veteran is averaging a career low in ice time (18:26), and it's an especially stark contrast to the 22:21 of rink run the defenseman saw with the Penguins last year. Petry has two goals, 11 assists and a plus-4 rating through 33 games; he's occasionally been thrust into power-play action but is still looking for his first man-advantage point donning the Winged Wheel.

Gostisbehere had a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings.

Gostisbehere set the stage for a Dylan Larkin goal, which would be the first of four tallies for the Wings in the second period. A whopping 58 percent of Ghost's points this season have taken place on the man advantage, and he's up to seven goals and 22 assists overall. A rough defensive stretch spilling into the new year is heavily factored into his minus-16 rating, so he's best utilized in formats that don't value that statistic.

Manson recorded an assist, a blocked shot and six hits over 18:15 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Manson returned to action after missing two games with an undisclosed injury. He had the primary helper on a goal scored by Andrew Cogliano, who took Manson's shot off his body, then gathered the loose puck and beat Martin Jones. Manson has points in six of his last eight games.

Girard had an assist, three blocked shots and two hits over 19:43 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over Toronto.

Girard kept the puck in the zone and had his slapshot stopped by Martin Jones, but the rebound landed on the stick of Mikko Rantanen, who scored the Avalanche's second goal. It was the third assist in the last six games for Girard, who has one goal and seven assists through 22 contests.

Bouchard lit the lamp in overtime in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens.

Bouchard unleashed his patented "Bouch-bomb" to score in overtime from a Connor McDavid assist on the power play. It took him six shots on net and a team-leading 27:01 TOI to get a goal past Sam Montembeault, who was solid all night. Since taking over the job on the point on the power play, the 24-year old is fourth among defensemen in scoring with 40 points on the year. The Oilers play at home against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Durzi picked up two assists in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Playing the point on the power play, Durzi provided an assist on the game's first goal and then sent a slick pass to Clayton Keller on the fourth goal. He also had two hits and a plus-2 rating. After being traded from the Kings for a second-round pick in the spring, the 25-year old Durzi has exceeded expectations for the Coyotes, leading the team in TOI and points for defensemen. Arizona plays the Flames on Tuesday on the road.

Fowler logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning.

Fowler has two helpers over his last four games. His assist Saturday was his first power-play point since Dec. 18. The 32-year-old blueliner should see more consistent power play time in the second half of the campaign with Jamie Drysdale traded to Philadelphia and Pavel Mintyukov (shoulder) on the shelf into February. Fowler is at 19 points, 56 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating through 42 appearances.
