E. Lindell - D

DAL

Esa Lindell finished with a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Lindell and John Klingberg each ended up with a goal, assist and plus-3 rating. Lindell also had a shot on goal and three blocked shots in 20:58 of ice time across 27 shifts. Lindell has a goal and three points in the past two games. The multi-point showing was his first since Jan. 8, 2020 when he had a pair of helpers on the road against the Los Angeles Kings.

N/A

J. Robertson - F

DAL

Jason Robertson went for two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Robertson ended up with a plus-3 rating, a shot on goal and a hit in 16:43 of ice time across 22 shifts. The 21-year-old Michigander has posted a goal and five points with a plus-6 rating during his current three-game point streak. He also has five goals and 10 points with a plus-13 rating in 10 games during the month of April. Robertson has emerged as a must-start fantasy option over the past two months.

Added 1:34 am (EST)

N/A

D. Gurianov - F

DAL

Denis Gurianov posted a goal with an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Gurianov went for a plus-2 rating and a shot on goal in 16:04 of ice time across 23 shifts. He has picked up three goals, five points and a plus-4 rating in his past two games against the Blue Jackets, and Saturday's goal stood up as the game-winning tally. It was his first GWG since Feb. 2, which was also against the Blue Jackets.

Added 1:31 am (EST)

N/A

J. Benn - F

DAL

Jamie Benn picked up a goal with an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Benn ended up with a plus-2 rating, two shots on goal and 12 faceoff victories in 14 chances (85.7 percent) in his 14:09 of ice time across 22 shifts. He has four goals and nine points with a plus-6 rating in 10 games in April, his most goals and points in a single month this season. He'll look to add to his totals in a back-to-back set beginning Monday against the visiting Detroit Red Wings.

Added 1:28 am (EST)

N/A

J. Oettinger - G

DAL

Jake Oettinger allowed just one goal on 22 shots in Saturday's 5-1 home win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Oettinger fell behind 1-0 when Vladislav Gavrikov made it 1-0 at 6:06 of the first period, but the Stars registered five unanswered goals to help Oettinger cruise to the victory. He improved to 8-5-6, with five of his eight victories coming against the Blue Jackets. The Stars are back in action for a back-to-back set starting Monday against the visiting Detroit Red Wings.

Added 1:18 am (EST)

N/A

J. Korpisalo - G

CBJ

Joonas Korpisalo allowed four goals on 16 shots in Saturday's 5-1 road loss against the Dallas Stars.

Korpisalo was yanked midway through the second period, as Elvis Merzlikins finished up. He allowed just one goal on 16 shots in his 26:26 of action. Korpisalo slipped to 9-12-7 with a 3.21 goals-against average and .896 save percentage in his 29 starts and 31 appearances. Merzlikins is likely to serve as the starting netminder Monday in Florida for the start of a back-to-back set.

Added 1:15 am (EST)

N/A

J. Kellman - F

Joel Kellman registered his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-2 road loss against the Minnesota Wild.

Kellman drew into the lineup as the fourth line center, bumping Fredrik Handemark to the press box as a healthy scratch. It was his first goal since Feb. 29, 2020 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and just the fourth of his NHL career. Despite the goal, Kellman isn't someone to rely upon for fantasy purposes.

Added 1:11 am (EST)

N/A

M. Zuccarello - F

MIN

Mats Zuccarello scored a power-play goal with an assist in Saturday's 5-2 home win against the San Jose Sharks.

Zuccarello ended up with a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a hit in 15:14 of ice time across 19 shifts. He has scored at least one goal in three straight games, going for four goals (three on the power play) with an assist and plus-2 rating after a four-game scoreless skid to start the month of April.
