Schneider logged an assist, three hits, five blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

This was a well-rounded effort for Schneider, highlighted by his primary helper on Artemi Panarin's opening tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Schneider has contributed three helpers over his last four games. Consistency on offense hasn't been a thing for him for much of the campaign, but his year-to-year numbers are pretty even. He matched his career high with 19 points, and he's added 91 shots on net, 132 hits, 137 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 74 appearances. He's got eight games left to set a new personal best.

Miller logged an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Miller had a hand in Adam Fox's second tally of the game at 5:47 of the third period. This was Miller's second straight contest with an assist, and he ends March with seven points over 15 appearances. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, 102 shots on net, 98 hits, 97 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 68 outings overall as he continues to do a little bit of everything in a top-four role.

Vaakanainen notched two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Vaakanainen helped out on Artemi Panarin's opening tally in the first period and Jonny Brodzinski's insurance marker in the third. Prior to Friday's game in Anaheim, Vaakanainen had been scratched three contests in a row, which suggests he's at risk of losing further playing time to Zac Jones down the stretch. Overall, Vaakanainen has 13 points, 36 shots on net, 18 hits, 44 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 44 appearances between the Rangers and the Ducks this season.

Fox scored two goals on six shots, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.

Fox stretched the Rangers' lead to 3-0 in the second period and poked home another goal in the third. This was his third multi-point effort in the last four games. The defenseman is locked in late in the campaign and is now up to nine goals, 56 points, 115 shots on net, 99 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 66 appearances in his usual top-four role.

Pachal scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Pachal helped out on a Yegor Sharangovich tally in the first period and then scored off a feed from Nazem Kadri in the third. This was the first multi-point effort of Pachal's career, and it ended his five-game point drought. The 25-year-old has had to compete with Daniil Miromanov for playing time over the last couple of weeks, with Pachal getting scratched five times since March 19. He's now at three goals, nine points, 56 shots on net, 141 hits, 75 blocked shots, 84 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 66 appearances.

Bouchard notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

Bouchard continues to hum along on offense with six helpers over his last eight contests since his last goal March 13 versus the Devils. The defenseman is up to 58 points, 210 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 73 appearances. Bouchard's mix of strong offense and durability has made him a high-end option in fantasy -- he's missed just two games over the last four seasons since becoming an NHL regular.

Nurse logged two assists, three shots on goal, five hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

This is the kind of all-around performance that makes Nurse a reliable fantasy blueliner. He had helpers on tallies by Viktor Arvidsson and Leon Draisaitl during regulation. This was Nurse's third two-assist game in the last five contests, and he's up to 30 points in 68 outings this season, reaching that scoring threshold for the seventh year in a row. The defenseman has added 168 shots on net, 147 hits, 123 blocked shots, 55 PIM and a plus-10 rating.

Rielly picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-1 win over Los Angeles.

It came on a third-period power play. Rielly has really struggled offensively this season, and he has just 35 points (seven goals, 28 assists) in 73 games. Last season, Rielly delivered 58 points in 72 contests. He's a long way removed from his career mark, which was set in 2018-19, when he recorded 20 goals, 51 assists and 223 shots. You have to trot him out there when he's playing -- you likely invested too much to admit you were wrong back at the draft.

Schuldt was injured in the third period of Saturday's game versus the Rangers, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Schuldt's injury casts doubt over his availability for Sunday's road game versus the Kings. Miller added that Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body) is expected to travel with the Sharks, so he could be the one taking Schuldt's place in the lineup. Schuldt has no points over six NHL appearances this season.

Theodore delivered two assists in a 3-1 win over Nashville on Saturday.

Theodore has picked up where he left off pre-injury. He has three assists in three games since his return. He has 51 points (seven goals, 44 assists) in 58 games this season. Theodore still sits in the top-10 scorers (10th) from the blue line despite missing 15 games due to injury. He was on a pace to top 70 points before he got hurt, which would have obliterated his career best of 52 points, which he set in 2021-22.
