Sergachev logged a power-play assist, two hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Sergachev set up a Dylan Guenther tally in the third period. The helper was Sergachev's 300th career point, a milestone he achieved in his 535th game. The defenseman has been surging lately with a goal and six assists over his last six outings, with four of those helpers coming on the power play. For the season, he's up to 43 points (19 on the power play), 101 shots on net, 117 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-9 rating over 60 appearances.

Bahl notched an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Bahl helped out on Nazem Kadri's first-period tally. This was Bahl's second assist in eight games since he recovered from an upper-body injury and an illness that collectively cost him about a month of action. The 24-year-old defenseman has 16 points, 57 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 71 hits, 33 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 55 appearances as an effective shutdown blueliner in the Flames' top four.

Andersson posted an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Andersson had been held off the scoresheet for nine straight games entering Wednesday. He ended the slump by springing Nazem Kadri with a long-range pass on the goal that tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. Andersson has been prone to some lengthy droughts this season, and it doesn't help that the Flames have a weak offense. The 28-year-old blueliner is at eight goals, 14 assists, 124 shots on net, 157 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a minus-22 rating over 64 outings.

Weegar notched a pair of assists, one on the power play and the other shorthanded, and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Weegar had a hand in each of Jonathan Huberdeau's second-period goals. The 31-year-old Weegar is having a strong March, racking up a goal and five helpers through six contests this month. The defenseman crossed the 30-assist mark for the fourth time in five years and has 38 points (18 on the power play, two shorthanded), 144 shots on net, 173 hits, 142 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 64 appearances.

Mancini picked up an assist and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Mancini was forced into a larger role after Elias Pettersson (upper body) left Wednesday's contest in the first period. The 22-year-old Mancini saw a career-high 18:32 of ice time while picking up some of the slack, and he was able to deliver the secondary helper on the other Elias Pettersson's third-period goal to tie the game. This gave Mancini five points, 24 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances between the Canucks and the Rangers this season.

Pettersson notched an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Pettersson played alongside Quinn Hughes at even strength in this contest. The 28-year-old Pettersson has a helper in back-to-back games and three assists over six outings in March. For the season, the shutdown defenseman is at 21 points, 57 shots on net, 69 hits, 108 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 61 appearances between the Canucks and the Penguins.

Hronek notched an assist and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Hronek has a goal and six helpers over his last five outings. The defenseman didn't take a cut in ice time with Quinn Hughes back from an undisclosed injury -- Tyler Myers (undisclosed) didn't play and Elias Pettersson (upper body) left the contest early, allowing Hronek to see a season-high 28:07 of ice time. With the helper, Hronek has reached the 25-point mark for the sixth year in a row, doing so in just 44 appearances in 2024-25. He's added 61 shots on net, 67 hits, 58 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

Hughes logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

Hughes returned from a four-game absence and set up a Jake DeBrusk tally in the second period. If the Canucks were planning on easing Hughes back in, it didn't happen -- he led the team with 29:48 of ice time and had to pick up the slack when Elias Pettersson (upper body) exited the contest after the first period. It's unclear if Hughes is fully healthy or just managing his injury to help the Canucks' playoff push. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 61 points (23 on the power play), 144 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 51 appearances.

Pettersson (upper body) won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Flames.

Pettersson took a hit to the back of his head in a scrum in the first period, though he wasn't officially ruled out for the game until the second intermission. With Tyler Myers (undisclosed) out of action Wednesday, the Canucks are facing a situation in which they may need to call up a blueliner for Saturday's game against the Blackhawks depending on the severity of Pettersson's injury.

Bryson suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

The injury occurred on a hit by Michael Rasmussen in the third period, leading to increased hostilities in an already chippy game. Bryson ended up with 16:16 of ice time after failing to return to the contest. The 27-year-old's status is up in the air for Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights, and if Jacob Bernard-Docker (not injury related) is not eligible to play either, the Sabres may need to make a move for a defenseman.
