Thompson scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Abbotsford's 4-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Thompson has five points over two games since he was swapped to the Canucks' organization for Jett Woo on Thursday. Overall, Thompson has just 17 points over 44 appearances in the AHL this season. The 23-year-old blueliner is still young enough to make an impact, especially for a Vancouver team that is lacking in proven NHL options.

Robertson scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

It was Robertson's first point in eight games and first goal in nine. He has 13 goals, 14 assists and 102 shots in 60 games this season. Robertson is on pace to perhaps have a career high of 35 points, but that's certainly a long way off from 27 points across 56 regular-season games in 2023-24.

Mueller scored twice in AHL Abbotsford's 4-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

Mueller has 13 goals and 30 points over 50 AHL appearances this season. He may still get a look at the NHL level later in the campaign, especially if injuries pile up in Vancouver. Mueller didn't have a point in two appearances with the big club in 2024-25.

Young posted a 23-save shutout in AHL Abbotsford's 4-0 win over Colorado on Saturday.

This was Young's first shutout in 21 career AHL appearances. He's taken a step back this season with a 2-8-0 record, a 3.83 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 10 outings, though he hasn't worked as the starter. The 21-year-old won't be a major factor in the NHL for years, especially if his numbers don't improve.

Maccelli scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 loss to the Lightning.

He opened the game with a wrist shot that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy early in the first period. It was Maccelli's third goal in as many games, and it extended his point streak to five games. He has three goals and two assists during that span. He has eight points, including five goals, in nine games since the start of February. Maccelli has been productive while skating on the top line with Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

Tomkins posted a 30-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 2-0 win over Tucson on Saturday.

Tomkins is up to four shutouts in 32 games this season, accounting for a quarter of his wins. He's added a 16-9-6 record with a 2.80 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Those are fine numbers overall, but it hasn't been enough for the 31-year-old to get a look with the Oilers yet.

Stolarz made 28 saves in a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday. He allowed four goals.

The score was 1-1 in the first when the Lightning turned up the volume in a big way with three goals in a 2:36 span. Stolarz and the Leafs settled down afterward, but the damage had already been done. He has struggled since his return from injury. Stolarz is 1-4-2 in seven starts since Jan. 23, and he has allowed 24 goals in that span. He's a major fantasy risk for managers heading into the postseason.

Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy snapped a personal three-game losing streak with Saturday's victory. The triumph was his 29th of the season, which is second only to Utah's Karel Vejmelka, who has 30 wins. Vasilevskiy is fourth overall in the NHL in GAA (2.28) and save percentage (.914). He has been a superb fantasy option this season.

Cirelli delivered two assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He didn't have a point in three straight outings before Saturday's contest after returning from a four-game absence due to an injury. Cirelli has 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists), 97 shots and a plus-26 rating in 53 games this season. His winning percentage at the dot is 48.6 percent. Cirelli has more value on the ice than in the fantasy arena, but he does heat up offensively from time to time.

Sanderson sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Kraken.

Sanderson appeared to be favoring his shoulder after a hit from Brandon Montour. At this point, Sanderson can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. The defenseman is a big part of the Senators' team, so any absence would be damaging for Ottawa and his fantasy managers.
