Gostisbehere (lower body) scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

The veteran blueliner helped set up a Jackson Blake tally midway through the second period before potting his own late in the third. Gostisbehere had missed the prior nine games with a lower-body injury, but he looked none the worse for wear in his return to the lineup. On the season, he has 12 goals and 45 points in just 46 contests, with his health being the only thing that has stood between Ghost and a career-best campaign.

Hall picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

The veteran winger helped set up Carolina's first two goals of the game midway through the second period as the home squad erased an early 1-0 deficit. Hall has gotten onto the scoresheet only three times in the last nine games, collecting a goal and five points. Overall, he has 15 goals and 40 points in 72 contests.

Ehlers scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.

Both points came in the second period as Carolina erased an early 1-0 deficit. Ehlers is wrapping up a big March that has seen the veteran winger produce eight goals and 17 points in 13 games. Saturday's effort put him over the 60-point mark for the third straight regular season and the fifth time in his career.

Postava was sent back to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Postava served as John Gibson's backup in Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo. However, the Red Wings got Cam Talbot (undisclosed) back in the lineup for Saturday's 5-3 loss to Philadelphia, so Postava was a healthy scratch.

Rantanen (lower body) tallied a power-play goal, distributed a power-play assist and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Rantanen picked up his pair of points on consecutive power plays midway through the second period. His power-play assist was his 50th helper of the year, which secured his fifth consecutive season with 50 assists or more. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has 21 goals, 71 points, 129 shots on net, 38 hits and 27 blocked shots through 55 games this season. Rantanen didn't miss a beat in his first game since sustaining a lower-body injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He should provide elite fantasy production for the remainder of the regular season now that he's healthy.

Bussi turned aside 17 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

New Jersey took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, but Carolina took control the rest of the way and Bussi ended up cruising to his 27th win of the season. The rookie netminder has been inconsistent since the Olympic break, going 4-3-0 in seven starts with a 3.60 GAA and ,849 save percentage as he battles with Frederik Andersen for the top spot between the pipes heading into the playoffs.

Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Saturday.

Gaucher was a healthy scratch in Anaheim's last two games, including Saturday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton, before being returned to the minors. He has 12 goals and 26 points in 57 AHL appearances this season.

Dadonov scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

The tally came in the final minute of the third period as Carolina took its foot off the gas. Dadonov had gone without a point in his first 19 games this season, and the 37-year-old even got placed on waivers early this month only to go unclaimed. The five-time 20-goal scorer in the NHL will try to salvage something down the stretch on what has been a lost campaign.

Hryckowian scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

Hryckowian found the back of the net for the second time in his last four games to put the first tally on the board for the Stars. Overall, the 25-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 26 points, 73 shots on net, 108 hits and 35 blocked shots across 72 games this season. Hryckowian has grinded his entire hockey career to reach this point after going undrafted during his years of eligibility, and his strong all-around numbers reflect his work-hard story. Since March 6, he has four goals, seven points, 18 shots on net, 18 hits and 10 blocked shots over 12 games. He has solid fantasy value as a streaming option in category-based leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Markstrom stopped 29 of 33 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina, with the Hurricanes' final tally getting scored into an empty net.

The Devils got out-shot 34-19 in the game, but they managed to emerge from the first period with a 1-0 lead before the home side took control. Markstrom saw his three-start win streak snapped, but it was just the second time in 11 outings since the Olympic break that he's given up more than three goals, a stretch in which he's gone 7-4-0 with a 2.81 GAA and .889 save percentage.
