Nazar logged two assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

Nazar has five points (one goal, four assists) over his last three outings. The 22-year-old center is on the second line and first power-play unit, so he should be able to sustain a strong level of offense down the stretch, though he has been streaky this year. Nazar has a career-high 29 points with 100 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 25 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 47 appearances.

Rinzel scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

Rinzel has two points over his last three games. The 21-year-old defenseman is settling back into a top-four role after the Blackhawks traded away Connor Murphy to Edmonton, opening the door for a youth movement on the blue line. Rinzel has three goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 28 hits and 36 PIM over 35 appearances this season.

Lindell posted a power-play assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Lindell has four helpers over his last seven contests. This was his first power-play point of the season, though he's averaging 43 seconds per game with the man advantage, his most in any campaign since 2020-21. Lindell is at 25 points, 65 shots on net, 142 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating over 63 appearances, giving him a chance at just the second 30-point campaign of his career.

Back logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Back ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. The 25-year-old is poised to play regularly on the fourth line while the Stars are missing Roope Hintz (lower body), who is out indefinitely. Back won't add much offense, as he has just nine points with 28 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 21 hits and a plus-5 rating through 53 appearances this season.

Bunting notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Bunting got on the scoresheet in his Stars debut. He saw 14:43 of ice time in a third-line role while also playing on the second power-play unit. Bunting's an ideal complementary player, adding a little grit and the ability to be a reliable depth scorer to take some pressure off of Dallas' top players. Through 62 appearances between Dallas and Nashville this season, Bunting has 32 points (nine on the power play), 109 shots on net, 36 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-17 rating.

Bastian scored a goal on two shots and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Bastian has three goals over his last five games. The 28-year-old is still in a fourth-line role, but he's seeing steadier playing time while the Stars' forward group is at less than 100 percent health. Bastian has six goals, 23 shots on net, 72 hits and 17 PIM through 30 appearances this season.

Hryckowian scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Hryckowian has three points over his last two games. He is poised to continue featuring on the second power-play unit while Roope Hintz (lower body) is out indefinitely. Hryckowian is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 61 shots on net, 93 hits and 37 PIM, so he can help with depth scoring and toughness in deeper fantasy formats.

Raddysh notched three assists, four shots on goal, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Raddysh has remained productive since the Olympic break, compiling six assists, including three on the power play, over his last seven games. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 58 points (23 on the power play), 153 shots on net, 59 hits, 56 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-18 rating in a breakout campaign.

Girgensons scored a goal, added two PIM and levied four hits in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Girgensons snapped a six-game point drought with the tally. The 32-year-old has rebounded to his usual level of production this season with 15 points in 55 outings after being limited to six points in 82 regular-season contests last year. Girgensons also has 72 shots on net, 153 hits, 30 blocked shots and 22 PIM while primarily playing in a middle-six role for the Lightning in 2025-26.

Perry scored a goal, went plus-2 and added five PIM in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Perry fought Beck Malenstyn early in the second period and then scored shortly after he served his time in the sin bin. With a goal in each of his two games since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kings, it's clear why Tampa Bay wanted him back. The 40-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 64 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 outings this season.
