Bouchard delivered two assists in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Saturday.

Bouchard's point streak stands at four games and eight points (one goal, seven assists). He has put up three straight multiple-point efforts. Bouchard has 20 goals and 66 helpers over 74 appearances this season. Not only has he set new career marks in goals, assists and points, but Bouchard joined the great Paul Coffey as the only other Oilers defenseman to record 65 or more assists in a single season. Coffey accomplished the feat four times.

Dahlin scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kraken.

Dahlin has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the second time in his last six appearances. He's up to four goals, three assists, 10 PIM, 15 shots, five hits and two blocked shots over his last six games, establishing himself as a strong fantasy contributor in multiple categories. He's also up to 17 goals on the season, good for seventh among defensemen in the league.

Vilen notched three assists in AHL Utica's 5-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

Vilen's production has been steady compared to last year -- he has 24 points in 57 games this season, the same total he logged in more games in the 2024-25 regular season. He has gone nine contests without a goal, but he's earned six helpers in that span. The Devils' blue line is still a strength at the NHL level, giving Vilen plenty of time to continue his development with Utica.

Spence scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning. He had four shots.

Spence pushed the score to 2-0 just 4:25 into the game when he knocked a rebound into an open net. Andrei Vasilevskiy was out of position after a sprawling save, and Spence capitalized on it. Spence has seven points (one goal, six assists) and 13 shots over the past eight games.

D'Astous had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

D'Astous tied the game 2-2 with a shot from above the hash marks that beat James Reimer stick side. The 27-year-old defenseman's point streak stands at three games and five points (one goal, four assists). D'Astous has five goals, 21 assists, 86 hits, 67 blocks and 65 shots in 60 games this season.

Lilleberg had a goal and two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa.

It was Lilleberg's first three-point game in the NHL, and his goal stood as the game-winner. He joined a 3-on-2 rush and finished it with a sweet backhand. Lilleberg became the fourth Norwegian player in NHL history with a three-point game, joining Mats Zuccarello (41), Espen Knutsen (four) and Patrick Thoresen (one). Lilleberg has three goals, five assists, 68 hits, 36 shots and 35 blocks in 40 games this season.

Spurgeon (upper body) won't play against Boston on Saturday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Spurgeon is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Thursday's 3-2 win over Florida. He has earned six goals, 19 points, 84 shots on net, 129 blocked shots and 79 hits in 73 appearances this season. Zach Bogosian will replace Spurgeon in Saturday's lineup against the Bruins.

Mintyukov (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Mintyukov has eight goals, 20 points, 10 PIM, 35 hits and 106 blocks in 67 appearances in 2025-26. Anaheim dressed seven defensemen for Thursday's game against Calgary, but Radko Gudas (lower body) and Mintyukov are both exiting the lineup due to injury. As a result, Anaheim will likely shift to 12 forwards and six defensemen. Forward Troy Terry (lower body) is good to return from injury, and defenseman Drew Helleson is also drawing into the lineup.

Gudas (lower body) won't play Saturday versus Edmonton, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Gudas has two goals, 13 points, 45 PIM, 160 hits and 88 blocks in 54 outings in 2025-26. He sustained the injury during Thursday's game against Calgary. Drew Helleson might draw into the lineup due to Gudas' absence.

Kuznetsov (upper body) won't play against Vancouver on Saturday.

Kuznetsov is still day-to-day and will miss his seventh straight game. He has collected four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.
