Dahlin tallied a goal, distributed an assist and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.

Dahlin recorded his third consecutive multi-point outing in Saturday's clash, as he played a hand in both of Buffalo's tallies in the first period. Overall, he is up to 18 goals, 51 assists, 188 shots on net, 65 hits and 77 blocked shots this season. The 25-year-old blueliner has a solid chance to match or surpass his career high of 73 points across 78 games during the 2022-23 season. He's put together one of the best all-around seasons among defensemen and could end up being a candidate for this year's Norris Trophy. He is an elite option on the fantasy blue line for the remainder of the regular season and beyond.

Hague sustained an undisclosed injury and won't return to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

Hague's injury leaves the Predators down a blueliner in a critical matchup. The 27-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Monday versus the Kings, Ryan Ufko will likely draw back into the lineup.

Chychrun tallied a goal, recorded an assist and fired two shots on net in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

Chychrun found the back of the net just over three minutes into regulation before sliding the primary helper on Connor McMichael's goal two minutes later. With the pair of points, Chychrun is up to 25 goals, 59 points, 214 shots on net, 56 hits and 107 blocked shots across 75 appearances this season. The veteran blueliner has been hot as of late with eight points and eight blocked shots over his last five games. He's on pace for the first 60-plus point regular season of his 10-year career and remains a strong player to roster in all fantasy formats for the foreseeable future.

Provorov tallied a goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Winnipeg.

Provorov found the back of the net less than 90 seconds into regulation during Saturday's clash. Overall, the 29-year-old blueliner is up to nine goals, 30 points, 142 shots on net, 27 hits and 130 blocked shots across 77 games this season. His tally Saturday helped him secure 30 points or more in five of his last seven regular seasons. He's provided the Blue Jackets' defensive core with strong category coverage and remains a solid option in deep fantasy leagues for the remainder of the campaign.

Gudas (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Flames, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Gudas is set to miss a third straight game due to the injury. The 35-year-old defenseman's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Predators. Once healthy, he'll fill a third-pairing role.

Mintyukov (lower body) won't play versus the Flames on Saturday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Mintyukov is set to miss his third straight game. The defenseman's ongoing absence has kept Ian Moore and Drew Helleson in the lineup, and Tyson Hinds will get his NHL debut with the Ducks option for seven defensemen despite missing blueliners due to injuries. Mintyukov's next chance to play is Tuesday versus the Predators.

Raddysh scored the go-ahead goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Raddysh threw the puck at the net from a sharp angle in the right circle, and it got under Jeremy Swayman's right shoulder. It was Raddysh's 21st goal of the season, and it set a team record for the most by a defenseman in a single season. The previous record of 20 was shared by Bolts greats Dan Boyle (2006-07) and Victor Hedman (2021-22).

D'Astous scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Boston.

D'Astous buried his own rebound from a sharp angle on the left side early in the third period. He has eight points (two goals, six assists) over his past seven games; he was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. D'Astous is a great daily play right now. He's one point from 30 points in his first NHL season.

Fox delivered two assists Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Fox is rolling with a six-game, 10-point streak. It includes eight assists, five of which have come on the power play, and 10 shots on net. Fox has seven goals, 40 assists, 20 power-play points and 82 shots in 50 appearances this season. He is ninth in points per game (0.94) among defenders.

Weegar (upper body) won't play versus the Canucks on Saturday and is considered day-to-day.

Weegar is dealing with an injury, though he logged 19:33 of ice time in Seattle on Thursday. The 32-year-old's day-to-day status suggests he could still be an option as soon as Tuesday's game versus the Oilers.
