Sourdif scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Sourdif picked up his first multi-point effort since March 9 versus the Flames. The 24-year-old was limited to one goal over eight contests between multi-point showings. Sourdif continues to play in a middle-six role, though he's only regained a power-play role over the last week or so. He's up to 15 goals, 32 points, 103 shots on net, 91 hits, 38 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 70 appearances as a rookie this season.

Thompson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

The Capitals had a 3-0 lead in the second period, but it was gone before the intermission. Mitch Marner then scored for Vegas early in the third period before Dylan Strome answered to force overtime. Thompson did his part from there, keeping Vegas off the board in overtime and the shootout, and Strome's tally in the skills competition helped Thompson secure the win over the goalie's former team. In four career appearances versus the Golden Knights, he's gone 4-0-0 with 10 goals allowed on 123 shots since he was traded in the summer of 2024. This year, Thompson has continued to be excellent between the pipes, going 26-20-6 with a 2.43 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 52 appearances. He has won four of his last six outings and will look to keep it rolling if he gets the start Tuesday at home versus the Flyers.

Mancini notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

The helper was Mancini's first point of the campaign. The 23-year-old defenseman is poised to compete for third-pairing minutes to close out this season. He has 11 shots on net, 26 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 20 appearances with the low-scoring Canucks in 2025-26.

Pettersson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, and fired three shots on net in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Pettersson has earned five assists over his last four contests, with four of them coming on the power play. The 27-year-old has four multi-point efforts in March. While he's hardly had the production worthy of the role, Pettersson remains the top-line center for lack of better options in Vancouver. He's at 15 goals, 45 points (18 on the power play), 113 shots on net, 56 hits, 99 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 64 appearances. That's an exact replication of his scoring line from 64 contests a year ago, which is discouraging that he wasn't able to shake off a down season.

Hoglander scored a goal in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

The tally snapped a seven-game point drought for the winger, who was scratched three times in that span. Even when Hoglander plays, he's been in a fourth-line role lately. He's now at two goals, four points, 27 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-2 rating over 30 appearances this season. On a low-scoring team, Hoglander is a non-factor in virtually all fantasy formats.

Ohgren scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Ohgren has two goals and two assists over his last eight games. He was bumped up to the first line Saturday and saw 17:51 of ice time, his most since March 7 versus the Jets. Ohgren is up to eight goals, 15 points, 82 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-9 rating over 59 appearances between the Canucks and the Wild this season. If Ohgren stays on the top line, he'll be a moderately intriguing option for deeper fantasy formats to close out the campaign.

DeBrusk scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

DeBrusk has scored twice over the last three games, with both goals coming on the power play. Consistency has been the biggest problem for the 29-year-old this season, as he's been prone to struggling alongside many of his teammates. The winger has 16 goals, 34 points (18 on the power play), 185 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-28 rating through 71 appearances, and he continues to see bottom-six minutes at even strength in addition to his power-play role.

Lankinen gave up three goals on 12 shots in relief of Nikita Tolopilo in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Lankinen got some rest for a period, but Tolopilo was pulled after giving up the fourth goal. Lankinen has allowed 18 goals on 133 shots (.865 save percentage) during a winless stretch of five appearances. That's somehow worse than his overall numbers, which are at a 3.65 GAA and an .876 save percentage in 42 outings this season, to go with an 8-25-5 record. The Canucks may opt to keep Lankinen heavily in the starting role down the stretch to avoid wrecking Tolopilo's confidence. Avoid the Vancouver crease at all costs, especially with road matchups in Vegas, Colorado and Minnesota next on the slate for the Canucks.

Tolopilo stopped seven of 11 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Tolopilo got the start but was pulled 4:36 into the second period after Olli Maatta scored to put the Flames ahead 4-1. The Canucks weren't able to bail out Tolopilo, who ended up with the loss in his first game action in two weeks. He's now at 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. Kevin Lankinen hasn't played that well either, and he gave up three goals on 12 shots in relief Saturday. Bottom line, the Canucks' goaltending is a unit to avoid at all costs in fantasy, especially with a gauntlet of a three-game road trip coming up. That trip kicks off Monday in Vegas.

Othmann recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.

This was Othmann's debut with the Flames after he was traded from the Rangers for prospect forward Jacob Battaglia on March 6. The 23-year-old Othmann needed a change of scenery after posting just three points over 42 career NHL appearances over parts of three seasons with the Rangers. It's unclear if he'll remain in the NHL for the rest of the regular season, and he'll likely be limited to bottom-six minutes if he stays in the lineup.
