Edvinsson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Edvinsson reached the 20-point mark with his first-period tally, which was the game-winner. The defenseman has earned six points and a plus-10 rating over his last 13 appearances. The 21-year-old has five goals, 15 helpers, 50 shots on net, 87 blocked shots, 47 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 48 contests in his first full NHL campaign, a level of play that's worth consideration in fantasy.

Kulak had two assists in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

Kulak's 18 points are within three of his career high of 21, and he's already matched his previous best with six goals. The 31-year-old defender is on pace for 28-30 points. Kulak could top 100 shots and 100 hits, but his offense is still too inconsistent for him to warrant much fantasy attention.

Bouchard had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

Bouchard scored his ninth goal of 2024-25 to get Edmonton on the board in the second period. He has scored three goals in his last 30 games after netting six in his first 22 outings. Bouchard still hasn't potted a power-play goal this season after scoring eight with the man advantage in 2023-24. He has 13 power-play helpers this campaign after putting up 35 a year ago. Edmonton's power play remains excellent, but it hasn't been as potent as last season.

Zub produced a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Zub has a helper in each of the last two contests. The 29-year-old has had a couple of lengthy injury absences this season, but he's handled top-four minutes when healthy. For the season, Zub is at six points, 37 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances. He plays in more of a shutdown role, so he won't have much appeal in fantasy.

Sanderson scored a power-play goal on five shots, added three assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

One of Sanderson's helpers was on the power play, and another came while shorthanded. This was his second multi-point effort in a row, and he's earned two goals and 10 assists over his last 15 appearances. Sanderson is up to four goals, 33 points (four shorthanded, 19 on the power play), 114 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 51 appearances. He's on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the first time in his three NHL seasons.

Walker recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Walker has two helpers over his last six outings. The 30-year-old defenseman has struggled to generate much offense in a third-pairing role for the bulk of 2024-25. He's now at 11 points, 91 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 51 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 53 appearances. Without an uptick in scoring, his fantasy upside is severely limited.

Boqvist scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay.

Boqvist was playing his first game for the Islanders after being claimed off waivers Friday. He took a pass off the boards for a breakaway. His first shot was stopped, but he punched in the rebound to tie the game 1-1 late in the second period. Boqvist, who was drafted eighth overall in 2018, has bounced around four teams over the last six seasons. The Isles have given the offensively-oriented defender a fresh start, although it's hard to know how he'll be deployed once Noah Dobson (lower body) returns and Tony DeAngelo slides down and becomes the secondary offensive contributor.

Slavin provided an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Slavin had nine points over 15 outings in January and kept the offense rolling to begin February. The 30-year-old defenseman helped out on an Eric Robinson tally in the third period. Slavin is up to 20 points, 65 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 53 appearances. With his current performance, he can help fantasy managers who need a modest boost in points or blocks.

Gostisbehere notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Gostisbehere has been quiet since returning from an upper-body injury. He has just two helpers, both at even strength, since he rejoined the lineup Jan. 12 versus the Ducks. The 31-year-old was a force on offense prior to the injury, and he has 29 points (18 on the power play), 83 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-5 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Burns registered an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Burns' helper was the 900th point of his career, making him the 13th defenseman in NHL history to get to that mark. He hasn't done all that well on offense this season, picking up 19 points over 53 appearances. He entered Saturday on a seven-game drought before assisting on Eric Robinson's third-period tally. Burns has added 125 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while seeing top-four minutes as usual.
