Stastney was scratched for the fourth game in a row in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Stastney has been scratched seven times in March. It appears Ty Emberson has picked up the slack on the blue line for now, though he's far from secure to stay in the lineup. Stastney has gone 13 contests without a point, leaving him stuck at 10 points, 56 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 66 appearances between Edmonton and Nashville this season. Stastney has just one point, a goal, in 36 games for the Oilers, despite his average ice time of 16:02 being 1:10 more per game than he saw with the Predators prior to a December trade.

Roslovic scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Roslovic has scored three times over the last three games to get to 20 tallies on the year. This is the third time in his career he's hit that goal threshold. The 29-year-old is seeing middle-six minutes at even strength, though his 11:20 of ice time Saturday was his lowest total in a game since Jan. 26, which coincidentally also came against the Ducks. He's at 32 points, 126 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-7 rating over 61 appearances in his first year with the Oilers.

Hutton went minus-1 in 12:29 of ice time in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Hutton played for just the third time since the Olympic break. The defenseman's playing time has dropped significantly since the Golden Knights have been at full health for the better part of a month. He's earned 15 points, 69 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 53 appearances this season, his most productive campaign since he had 16 points in 65 outings for the Kings in 2019-20.

Dowd scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Dowd's first goal as a Golden Knight came against his former team. It's fitting that it was a shorthanded tally since Vegas acquired him to bolster its defensive play at forward. Dowd is up to five goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 128 hits, 47 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 67 appearances between Vegas and Washington this season. He should continue to see steady fourth-line usage.

Marner scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Marner snapped a seven-game goal drought with his third-period tally. He had three assists in that span. The 28-year-old reached the 20-goal mark Saturday, a threshold he's reached in six straight campaigns and in eight of his 10 NHL regular seasons. He's at 71 points (22 on the power play), 144 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 73 appearances in his first year with the Golden Knights.

Andersson scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Andersson earned his second multi-point effort as a Golden Knight with this performance. The defenseman has maintained a decent share of playing time, but he's been listed on the third pairing in recent weeks. He's up to 40 points on the season (14 goals, 26 helpers), a mark he missed in each of the previous two campaigns. He's added 158 shots on net, 136 blocked shots, 33 hits, 69 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 73 appearances.

Eichel scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Eichel has four points over his last two games, though he went six contests without a point prior to that. The 29-year-old showed his versatility Saturday -- his goal came at even strength while one assist was shorthanded and the other came on the power play. Eichel is up to 25 goals, 78 points, 234 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-12 rating over 66 appearances this season. He should be able to top the 80-point mark for the third time in his career and the second year in a row, but he's unlikely to match his 94-point regular season from a year ago.

Hill stopped 17 of 21 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Hill struggled initially, allowing the first three goals. The Golden Knights picked him up with four tallies, but Dylan Strome tied it on the power play in the third period for the Capitals, and it was Strome who had the lone tally in the shootout to decide the game. This was Hill's third straight loss (0-1-2), a span in which he's allowed 11 goals on 70 shots. For the season, the 29-year-old goalie is down to 9-9-5 with a 3.10 GAA and an .866 save percentage over 25 appearances.

Hutson logged two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Hutson has had little trouble adjusting to the NHL so far, earning a goal and four assists, all on the power play, over his first six games. The 19-year-old defenseman has added eight shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating. Hutson is seeing sheltered minutes on the third pairing for now, especially since the Capitals' blue line is a strength for the team, but his upside is already obvious. He'll be a popular late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts next fall for managers who expect him to follow the example his older brother, Lane Hutson, established as a rookie in 2024-25 with the Canadiens.

Lapierre scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Lapierre has a goal and an assist over the last two contests. He opened the scoring at 6:06 of the first period Saturday. The 24-year-old has four goals, 15 points, 51 shots on net, 41 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 69 appearances this season. Lapierre is seeing steady time as the Capitals' fourth-line center, but fantasy managers can likely find better production on the wire in most formats.
