  • Penguins' Vladislav Kolyachonok: Collects first assist with new team

    Kolyachonok notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.

    Kolyachonok remains listed on the top pairing alongside Kris Letang, but the former had just 12:00 of ice time in Saturday's win. The helper was Kolyachonok's first point as a Penguin, and he's at six points, 17 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-9 rating over 29 appearances when accounting for his time with Utah earlier in the season.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Scores again Saturday

    Karlsson scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.

    Karlsson has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. He's had just one multi-game slump since a six-game skid in late January. The surge on offense has helped Karlsson get up to 10 goals, 49 points, 165 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating over 69 appearances.

  • Oilers' John Klingberg: Not expected to play

    Klingberg (undisclosed) won't be available for Sunday's game versus the Rangers, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

    Klingberg will miss his sixth straight outing. He has chipped in one goal, three assists, 17 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and four hits across 10 appearances this season. Klingberg's next opportunity to return from a lingering injury will come Tuesday versus Utah.

  • Adam Boqvist D | NYI

    Islanders' Adam Boqvist: Won't play Sunday

    Boqvist (upper body) won't be an option for Sunday's matchup versus Florida, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Boqvist will miss his second straight game, though he did participate in Sunday's morning skate. He is progressing but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. Boqvist has four goals, 11 points, 37 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 11 hits through 30 appearances between the Panthers and Islanders this season. With Boqvist and Adam Pelech (lower body) unavailable, Scott Mayfield and Mike Reilly will play against the Panthers on Sunday.

  • Adam Pelech D | NYI

    Islanders' Adam Pelech: Out Sunday

    Pelech (lower body) won't play Sunday against Florida, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    The Islanders will be shorthanded on the blue line with both Pelech and Adam Boqvist (upper body) out. Scott Mayfield and Mike Reilly will likely round out the Isles' defensive corps Sunday. Pelech has 17 assists in 45 games this year.

  • Penguins' Conor Timmins: Two helpers in win

    Timmins notched two assists while adding two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.

    It's the first multi-point performance of the season for the 26-year-old blueliner. Timmins has been surprisingly productive since being picked up from Toronto at the trade deadline, and he's contributed a goal and three points with seven hits and a plus-7 rating in his first four appearances for Pittsburgh.

  • Luke Hughes D | NJ

    Devils' Luke Hughes: Two points against Pens

    Hughes picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

    He had a hand in tallies by Cody Glass in the first period and Nico Hischier in the third. The 21-year-old blueliner has embraced his new role as the Devils' top defenseman since Dougie Hamilton (lower body) was lost for the season, and over the last six games -- including the one in which Hamilton got hurt -- Hughes has produced a goal and seven points, including four assists with the man advantage.

  • Senators' Jake Sanderson: 21 points in last 18 games

    Sanderson scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Sanderson has 21 points (five goals, 16 assists) and 51 shots on net in his last 18 games. The defender is only 22 years old, and he's already put up 116 points (21 goals, 95 assists) through 221 NHL appearances. Sanderson has quickly become an elite option for fantasy managers and the Senators.

  • Bruins' Henri Jokiharju: Nabs assist Saturday

    Jokiharju notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Lightning.

    Jokiharju has stepped into a massive role upgrade following his trade to Boston from Buffalo. He is on the top pairing and sees time on the second power-play unit. There are extenuating factors on the Bruins' blue line -- Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) and Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) are both out, leaving the team down its two best defensemen. Still, Jokiharju has held his own in a larger role, though his offense remains too low to help most fantasy managers. He's at seven points, 46 shots on net, 38 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 46 appearances this season.

  • Jacob Bryson D | BUF

    Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Draws assist

    Bryson produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

    Bryson was injured Wednesday versus the Red Wings but didn't miss a game. The 27-year-old blueliner is competing for time on the third pairing and could be scratched at some point to allow the Sabres to get a look at trade acquisition Jacob Bernard-Docker. Bryson has not performed at a fantasy-relevant level in most formats, collecting seven helpers, 18 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 41 appearances this season.
