Casey notched an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

Casey earned his first point in his first game since being recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday. The 21-year-old slotted into a third-pairing role, bumping fellow youngster Simon Nemec out of the lineup for Saturday's game. Casey has displayed his skills in a small sample this season, earning six points, nine shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 11 NHL appearances. He may have a chance to compete for third-pairing minutes to close out the regular season, though Nemec and Dennis Cholowski are also in the mix.

Dillon logged a shorthanded assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

Dillon has three helpers over his last eight outings. The defenseman helped out on a Jesper Bratt tally in the second period, putting the Devils up 2-0. Dillon is now at 16 points, 45 shots on net, 181 hits, 104 blocked shots, 65 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 77 appearances this season. He will likely miss the 20-point mark for the first time since 2020-21, but he remains a key defensive figure in the Devils' lineup.

Dahlin recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

Dahlin has three points over two contests in April, continuing his strong play from March (11 points in 15 games). The defenseman helped out on Jason Zucker's game-tying tally in the third period Saturday. Dahlin reached the 60-point mark for the second time in the last three years, doing so with 14 goals, 46 helpers, 177 shots on net, 89 hits, 95 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 66 appearances in a top-pairing role. He is tied with Victor Hedman for sixth place in points among all defensemen, though Dahlin got to the mark with seven fewer games played this year.

Chabot notched an assist and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over Florida.

Chabot helped Ottawa inch closer to securing a playoff spot when he set up Matthew Highmore's empty-netter to seal the win. As a result of that insurance tally, the 28-year-old Chabot reached the 30-assist mark for the fifth time in his nine-year NHL career. The 2015 first-round selection has accumulated six goals, 36 points and a plus-12 rating across 75 appearances in 2024-25. Even though Jake Sanderson has taken over as Ottawa's No. 1 defenseman, Chabot is still capable of chipping in offensively when needed. The Senators' remaining schedule is far from a gauntlet, and Chabot could provide meaningful value for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Toews recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Toews has two goals and eight assists over his last eight contests, including four points over three games in April. The defenseman made a late contribution Saturday by setting up a Sam Malinski goal at 19:51 of the third period. Toews' surge has gotten his offense into familiar territory -- he's at 43 points through 74 outings, but he'll likely fall short of the 50-point mark for the first time in four years. The 31-year-old has added 136 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-31 rating.

Makar posted an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

The helper was Makar's 91st point of the season, surpassing his previous career high of 90 from the 2023-24 campaign. He also skated in his 78th contest of the season, which is a personal best for a defenseman who's had more than his share of injuries early in his career. He's at 30 goals, 61 helpers, 243 shots on net, 123 blocked shots, 50 hits and a plus-31 rating in 2024-25, and he's earned three goals and four assists during his active four-game point streak.

Malinski scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Malinski ended a six-game point drought when he scored at 19:51 of the third period. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't been consistent on offense this season, but he's getting an extended run in the lineup while Josh Manson (upper body) is out of action. Malinski has four goals, 13 points, 103 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-11 rating over 72 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Fowler logged three assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Avalanche.

Fowler helped out on both of Zachary Bolduc's power-play goals as well as an empty-netter by Robert Thomas that stood as the game-winner. The 33-year-old Fowler has gotten on the scoresheet in five of the last six contests, racking up two goals and seven assists in that span. The defenseman is now at 38 points (seven on the power play), 79 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 64 appearances this season. He missed the 40-point mark by one in 2023-24, but he's within striking distance of getting there for the third time in four years and has the momentum to do it.

Carlo notched an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

This was Carlo's second helper in 14 contests since he was traded to Toronto from Boston. The 28-year-old defenseman has played in a top-four role as a shutdown blueliner, though he's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in just three games as a Maple Leaf, including Saturday's outing. He's up to 11 points, 72 shots on net, 85 hits, 146 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 77 appearances this season.

Rielly logged two assists and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Rielly earned his first multi-point effort since his stunning four-point game in Boston on Feb. 25. Over the 17 contests in between, he was limited to five helpers. He set up both of William Nylander's tallies -- one on a rebound and one with a pass -- in this contest. Rielly is now at 37 points, 117 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 76 games overall. He's still at risk of falling short of the 40-point mark for the first time in a full-length season since 2016-17.
