Parayko logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.

Parayko had gone nine games without an assist, though he had three goals in that span. He helped out on goals by Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours in this blowout win. Parayko is enjoying a career year in 2024-25 -- his 13 goals are already a personal best, and he's at 32 points through 58 outings, putting him on pace to finally get past the 35-point mark that he's reached in three separate seasons but never exceeded. The 31-year-old blueliner has added 112 shots on net, 130 blocked shots, 87 hits and a plus-6 rating while seeing heavy minutes on the top pairing, though he was given some rest with just 17:50 of ice time due to the lopsided score Tuesday.

Fowler scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.

Fowler's second-period tally chased Seattle goalie Joey Daccord from the game. This was Fowler's first multi-point effort since Jan. 4 -- he had six points over his previous 17 contests, which is solid production for a blueliner but nothing special in the fantasy arena. For the season, the 33-year-old is up to seven goals, 15 assists, 59 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances between the Blues and the Ducks. Fowler remains a decent depth option in fantasy since he's seeing top-four minutes and power-play time.

Spurgeon notched a power-play assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Spurgeon has earned four helpers over his last four games, but this was his first power-play point in his last seven outings. The 35-year-old didn't see any time with the man advantage in Saturday's game between these two teams, but it looks like he's back in the mix. For the season, he's at 21 points (five on the power play), 74 shots on net, 34 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 43 appearances.

Hedman scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Oilers.

Hedman scored on a slap shot from the point on a 5-on-3 power play. He now has nine goals, and he's one snipe shy of putting up double-digit goals for the 10th time in his last 12 seasons. Hedman's 45 points put him squarely in the top-10 in the NHL. He also has 96 blocked shots, which projects to 140 on the season -- that would be a new career mark if he can sustain the effort.

Johansson produced an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Johansson snapped a seven-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman is handling a top-six role in the absence of Jeff Petry (undisclosed), but Johansson's usage is mostly defensive in nature. He's produced a mere six points with 27 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 40 hits and a minus-4 rating over 37 appearances as a rookie this season.

Gustafsson logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Gustafsson endured a 12-game point drought from Jan. 18 to Feb. 22, but he's now earned an assist in consecutive contests. The 32-year-old blueliner is seeing power-play time, so his offense should bounce back to some extent over the stretch run, though he is limited to third-pairing minutes at even strength. Gustafsson has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 50 outings this season.

Edvinsson scored twice, levied three hits, blocked six shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Edvinsson unleashed two big blasts from the point, the first tying the game at 13:12 of the second period and the second putting the Red Wings ahead for good at 11:35 of the final frame. This was the defenseman's first multi-point effort since Dec. 3 against the Bruins. The 22-year-old has looked good in a top-four role this season, though he is still finding his way on offense. He's at seven goals, 23 points, 54 shots on net, 55 hits, 102 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-12 rating across 54 appearances this season.

Josi is being evaluated from an upper-body injury after he was hit by Sam Bennett in the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Panthers, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Josi initially stayed in the game, including playing on the power play after the hit, but the defenseman did not come back to the bench after the second intermission. The Predators have already lost a couple of blueliners -- Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Adam Wilsby (upper body) -- for the season, so any absence for Josi will stretch the team's defense even thinner. It also comes at a poor time, as the Predators host the Jets on Thursday.

Fox (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Islanders.

Fox landed on his left arm following a collision in the third period, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today. K'Andre Miller (lower body) also left the game, so the Rangers are finishing the contest with four defensemen. Given the pair of injuries on the blue line, the Rangers may need to call up another defenseman prior to Friday's matchup versus the Maple Leafs.

Miller (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Islanders.

Miller was injured in the second period. The severity of his injury is not known at this time. If Miller is unavailable for Friday's game against the Maple Leafs, Zac Jones will likely draw into the lineup in a bottom-four role.
