Dumoulin logged an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Dumoulin earned his first point as a King when he set up Drew Doughty in the second period. The 34-year-old Dumoulin has seen top-four usage early in 2025-26, including a spot alongside Doughty at even strength in recent contests. For the season, Dumoulin has 13 shots on net, 11 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 11 appearances.

Edmundson logged two assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Edmundson has picked up the pace with four helpers over his last three games. The 32-year-old defenseman won't be able to sustain that level of offense for long, but it has been enough for him to see his ice time bounce back recently. He's at five assists, 10 shots on net, 14 hits, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating through 11 appearances in a bottom-four role as a shutdown defender.

Doughty scored a goal, blocked four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Doughty ended a six-game slump with his second-period tally. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to four points, 15 shots on net, seven hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 11 appearances. He likely won't hit as much as he did earlier in his career, but he can still be a steady source of blocks. The big question is what level of offense he'll ultimately provide -- he had at least 50 points in his last two healthy seasons, but he's well off that pace early in 2025-26.

Clarke scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Clarke set up Corey Perry's opening tally midway through the first period before scoring a goal of his own -- the game-winner -- at 13:20 of the third. Despite the strong game on offense, Clarke saw a season-low 13:22 of ice time, likely a product of the Kings leaking 40 shots on net. The 22-year-old defenseman has five points over his last three games, and he's up to two goals, seven points, 18 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 11 appearances. His spot in the lineup looks fairly safe, but his ice time may continue to fluctuate, as he doesn't have head coach Jim Hiller's full trust yet.

Montour scored twice on four shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

This was Montour's second game back after he took of leave of absence to be with his family due to the death of his brother. The defenseman put together a masterful third period Tuesday, helping the Kraken earn a standings point as he accumulated his three points in less than 10 minutes to force overtime. Montour is at two goals, five assists, 18 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 10 hits and a plus-6 rating through six appearances this season. He plays in all situations and can offer all-around production for fantasy managers, though his offense is bound to cool off as the year progresses.

Dobson logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

This was Dobson's first multi-point effort in a Canadiens uniform. The 25-year-old hasn't been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests, but his longest streak is just two games. The defenseman is at one goal, six helpers, 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. His power-play time has dropped as he plays second fiddle to Lane Hutson, but Dobson is talented enough to remain productive on offense through primarily even-strength contributions.

Fox recorded two assists and two hits in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

Fox collected his third multi-point effort of the season, which is somewhat impressive considering the Rangers have scored multiple goals in just five of their first 11 contests. The 27-year-old defenseman has been partially impacted by the scoring ineptitude around him, but he still has three goals, six helpers, 22 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating so far. He's the Rangers' leader on defense and will continue to play a massive role, so it's no surprise he's heavily involved on the scoresheet.

Walman notched two assists and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

This was Walman's second two-assist effort in the last four games. The 29-year-old hasn't had to work too hard to shake off the rust after missing six contests with an undisclosed injury to begin the season. The defenseman is at one goal, four assists, five shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through five appearances, and he's handling a top-four role on the Oilers' blue line.

Bouchard logged three assists, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Bouchard had one of his better games of the season, helping out on the Oilers' first goal, the equalizer and the empty-netter. The 26-year-old has earned all seven of his points (one goal, six assists) during his active five-game streak. He's also produced 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, five hits, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating over 11 contests. Bouchard's offense is fine, and the rest of his numbers should come around over time, as the Oilers haven't been firing on all cylinders in most of their outings.

Emberson scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.

Emberson's second-period tally put the Oilers ahead 4-3, and it stood as the game-winner. The 25-year-old defenseman has held a steady third-pairing spot in the lineup, but he's been limited to three points in 11 contests, with his goal Tuesday snapping a five-game slump. Emberson has added 11 shots on net, 14 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. That kind of production isn't likely to attract much interest in fantasy unless his offense gets far more consistent.
