Letang had an assist and two shots on net in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Nashville.

The blueliner's helper came on Philip Tomasino's goal in the first period. Letang has three assists in his past six games, which is his strongest offensive output since early December (six points in four appearances). The 37-year-old has seven goals, 13 assists and 106 shots on goal across 47 outings this year. He is well off the pace to match his season total of 51 points from a year ago but still provides good category coverage with shots on net, hits and blocks. While better options are on the waiver wire, he still skates over 23 minutes per game for the Penguins and has time to turn this season around.

Karlsson provided two assists and had three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Karlsson provided helpers on the first two goals of the game for Pittsburgh and ultimately eclipsed the 30-assist mark on the season. He has back-to-back games with at least one point for the first time since early January. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 35 points and 136 shots on net through 54 games this season. The Norris Trophy winner from two seasons ago is unlikely to match his 101-point outburst from his award-worthy campaign. However, repeating his offensive output of 56 points from a season ago is in the cards. View Karlsson as a solid play on the fantasy blue line moving forward.

Gavrikov earned an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Gavrikov's helper ended a 16-game point drought for the defenseman. In that span, he went minus-9 with 24 shots on net and 33 blocked shots. The 29-year-old is frequently better at the defensive aspects of the game, so it's not unusual for his scoring contributions to be spotty. He's at 17 points, 66 shots on net, 102 blocks and a plus-9 rating over 50 appearances in 2024-25.

Doughty notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

This was Doughty's third game back from a broken ankle which required surgery. He's already jumped into heavy minutes in a top-four role, but he's gone minus-4 so far. The helper was his first point of the season, and he's added four hits and one blocked shot. The 35-year-old has rarely had long-term injuries in his career, but this is one that will likely take him some time to get back up to full speed. Still, fantasy managers should be patient with the veteran blueliner for now.

DeAngelo scored the game-winning goal in a 3-2 overtime victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.

DeAngelo took a stretch pass from Bo Horvat behind the Lightning defense and beat Andrei Vasilevskiy on a breakaway 33 seconds into overtime. DeAngelo has two points (one goal, one assist) in four games this season. Fantasy managers will benefit from DeAngelo's effectiveness until Noah Dobson (lower body) returns to the line. Once Dobson is back in the fold, DeAngelo could see time on the second power-play combination.

Samberg tallied a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and three shots during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

Samberg is on pace to establish new highs offensively, registering four goals and 12 points through 33 games this season. The 26-year-old has acquitted himself nicely on the second pairing with Neal Pionk but will need to generate more offense to garner much fantasy consideration outside of deeper leagues.

Pionk tallied two assists, including one on the power-play, a plus-2 rating and four shots during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

Pionk helped open the scoring for the Jets, giving him two goals and seven points in his last 10 games. The 29-year-old has supplied 30-plus points in six consecutive seasons and could establish new career highs if he can stay productive the rest of the way.

Mayfield (lower body) was injured Saturday versus the Lightning, and there was no update on his status following the contest, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

Mayfield appeared to be favoring his right leg after crashing into the end wall in the second period, per Sears. The Islanders play again Sunday against the Panthers, and Dennis Cholowski could draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Saturday's win.

Morrissey tallied two goals, a minus-2 rating and three shots during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Capitals.

Morrissey extended his point streak to three games and has amassed three goals and nine points over his last seven contests. The 29-year-old could reach the 70-point plateau for the second time in three regular seasons and is one of the most reliable fantasy rearguards.

Roy tallied three assists, a plus-3 rating and two shots during Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.

Roy has been on a tear recently, compiling one goal and five points in his last six games. The 29-year-old has notched two goals, 15 points and a plus-11 rating in 42 games during his inaugural season with the Capitals.
