Ottavainen logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Ottavainen made his NHL debut Tuesday. He saw 14:24 of ice time and earned his first point with a secondary helper on a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Ottavainen hasn't done much scoring with AHL Coachella Valley this year, earning 14 points over 66 appearances. The 22-year-old blueliner is still a work in progress, but he may compete for an NHL job in training camp in the fall.

Oleksiak posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Oleksiak set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the third period. Oleksiak earned three assists over the last five games of the season, though he largely struggled to do much on offense for large stretches of the campaign. The 32-year-old blueliner ends 2024-25 with 17 points, 66 shots on net, 159 blocked shots, 74 hits, 34 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 82 contests. His role shrunk at times to allow Ryker Evans more ice time, and if that trend continues in 2025-26, Oleksiak's fantasy appeal will drop even more.

Dunn notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

Dunn got on the scoresheet in the final minute of the third period on Eeli Tolvanen's goal. The 28-year-old Dunn had four assists over seven outings in April, but he ended 2024-25 in a 22-game goal drought. The defenseman concluded the campaign at 39 points (12 on the power play), 137 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 62 appearances. It wasn't a great season for him compared to the previous two years, but Dunn's power-play time and top-four usage will keep him in the conversation in fantasy for 2025-26.

Montour scored a power-play goal on five shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Kings.

While the Kraken were nothing special in 2024-25, Montour played well in his first year with the team. Through Tuesday's games, he ranks fourth among all NHL defensemen with 18 goals, and he was sixth among all Kraken skaters in goals and points (41). Still, he ended the year a little cold with just two goals over his last 13 contests. He added a total of 231 shots on net, 100 blocked shots, 84 hits, 70 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 81 appearances this season. Montour signed a seven-year deal last summer, so he'll be a key part of the Seattle blue line for quite some time.

Moverare notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

Moverare ended a five-game point drought. The 26-year-old has played regularly late in the season, though that's been because Joel Edmundson (upper body) has been unavailable. If the Kings are at full health to begin the postseason, Moverare is likely to be out of the lineup unless the team goes back to deploying seven blueliners regularly. He's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 49 appearances.

Spence logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

Spence helped out on a Samuel Helenius goal in the first period. The 24-year-old Spence has earned three points over six games since he was scratched April 3 versus Utah. The blueliner has put together a career year with four goals, 23 assists, 85 shots on net, 80 hits, 77 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating through 78 outings.

Gavrikov logged two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

Gavrikov was on top-pairing duties with both Drew Doughty and Mikey Anderson getting planned rest for this game. This was Gavrikov's second two-assist effort over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old has reached the 30-point mark for the second time in his career, racking up five goals, 25 assists, 110 shots on net, 50 hits, 140 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-27 rating over 81 appearances. He'll be a key part of shutting down the Oilers' superstars in the Kings' first-round playoff matchup.

Hague logged an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.

Hague had missed three games due to an illness. The 26-year-old saw 16:59 of ice time in his return, and he helped out on a Tomas Hertl tally in the first period. Hague is up to 12 points, 73 shots on net, 79 hits, 73 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 67 appearances. He'll likely be a regular in the lineup during the playoffs, but he probably won't play above the third pairing.

Pachal notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Pachal got on the scoresheet against his former team. This was his second straight game with a helper as he works to leave a positive impression late in the campaign. The 25-year-old defenseman is at 11 points, 61 shots on net, 159 hits, 81 blocked shots, 88 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 75 outings this season.

Bahl logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Bahl has picked up two helpers over his last five games. The 24-year-old defenseman took a big step this season, handling top-four minutes while reaching the 20-point mark for the first time in his first season with the Flames. He's at three goals, 17 assists, 81 shots on net, 107 hits, 116 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 72 appearances.
