Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Landeskog was under 15 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but given the lopsided nature of this contest, that's not a surprise. The 33-year-old also missed time due to a lower-body injury earlier in March, so the Avalanche are unlikely to push him too much with the Presidents' Trophy all but secured. Landeskog has earned 11 goals, 32 points, 115 shots on net, 73 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 52 outings in a solid comeback campaign.

Malinski scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Malinski has five points, a plus-5 rating and seven blocks over his last four contests. The 27-year-old defenseman rarely steals the spotlight, but he's been excellent this year with 34 points, 140 shots on net, 82 blocks and a plus-41 rating through 73 appearances, more than double his 15-point output from the 2024-25 regular season. If Cale Makar (upper body) misses time, Malinski could carve out a larger power-play role in the short term.

Lehkonen scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Lehkonen has three points over three contests since he returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The winger was on the top line at even strength Monday and contributed both points in the third period after the Avalanche's top forwards were not part of a five-goal eruption in the opening frame. Lehkonen is now at 20 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-31 rating over 62 appearances, matching his point total from 69 regular-season outings a year ago.

Schenn scored a goal, added three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

Schenn has four points over his last two outings to bounce back from a four-game slide. The 34-year-old center is up to 36 points over 73 contests this season, including eight points in 12 games since he was traded to the Islanders from the Blues. He's added 110 shots on net, 160 hits, 40 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a minus-26 rating.

Lee scored a power-play goal, added three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Penguins.

Lee has done well with a move to the top line, earning two goals and three assists over his last six contests. The 35-year-old winger is now at 40 points (eight on the power play) over 75 outings this season. He's added 181 shots on net, 80 hits, 34 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-2 rating. While he hasn't been at his peak performance, Lee is still an effective depth scorer in fantasy.

Wotherspoon notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

Wotherspoon has nine helpers over his last nine contests. The 28-year-old has made the most of his recent top-four usage, though his fantasy value is still limited to deeper formats. He's at 29 points, 64 shots on net, 152 hits, 107 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 74 games this season.

Shea scored a goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

Shea ended a five-game point drought with the tally, a span that included one absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has produced five points and 22 blocked shots over 15 outings in March. For the season, he's at five goals, 29 points, 67 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 37 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 73 appearances. Shea is currently in a third-pairing role, which will limit his production.

Soderblom scored a goal on two shots, doled out three hits and added five PIM in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.

Soderblom got the Penguins on the board at 6:41 of the second period with the first of their five goals in that frame. The 24-year-old has a goal and an assist over his last two games, but he went five contests without a point prior to that. He's now at four points in 12 outings with the Penguins, one more than he had in 39 appearances with the Red Wings to begin the campaign. Soderblom is likely to remain in a bottom-six role moving forward.

Spurgeon (upper body) will be available versus the Canucks on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Spurgeon was sidelined against the Bruins on Saturday due to his upper-body problem, but he won't miss any additional time. The blueliner is currently mired in a 15-game goalless streak dating back to before the Olympic break. During that stretch, Spurgeon has generated two assists, 21 blocks and 15 shots while averaging 18:47 of ice time.

Markstrom is expected to guard the cage on the road versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom has already reached the 20-win threshold for the ninth consecutive season, having gone 22-17-1 in 41 appearances this year. The veteran netminder is currently sporting his worst GAA (3.09) since 2013-14 when he was with the Panthers. Markstrom figures to continue dividing the workload with Jake Allen the rest of the way.
