McConnell has seen a nice uptick in PT in March and — other than a minor back woe — has remained healthy this season after missing most of 2021-22 in the wake of wrist surgery. He’s been around long enough for you to already have the scoop on his game: he really knows how to run an offense efficiently when he gets the chance.

All he’s done is score four goals with eight apples over the last 14 games while looking very much the part of a No. 1 blueliner. Assuming Matheson can stay healthy (he’s had troubles doing so in recent seasons) the rest of the way, he’s a must-own Fantasy asset. In fact, had he not missed the beginning of the season, he would have likely set a new career high in goals. As a bonus, Matheson is logging crazy minutes lately (over 27 per game this month).

Gordon has played 30 or more minutes in back-to-back games, and while seeing that kind of PT down the stretch is contingent on the Clipper injury situation, it’s great to know he can still step when it’s there. Now in his 15th season, this could be his last hurrah at Fantasy value, so give him a look.

Not surprisingly, the rust showed, but with rumours suggested he’s on the trade block, he could be showcased between now and the deadline. Talbot, 35, is an UFA after the season, so the motivation is certainly there to prove he can still be more than a backup goalie after posting his highest GAA since 2018-19.

On Wednesday, White canned five treys en route to a 25-point showing, and while he struggled with his shot on Thursday, he saw even more PT. Really, he’s been coming on since the beginning of January, and with two games of at least 20 points and six with 10 or more just this month, he’s now worth your attention.

Okay, his +/- is dreadful, but there are many ways he can help you, highlighted by a crapload of hits and blocks. Chiarot doesn’t get many offensive zone starts (42.5 per cent), so it’s no surprise his Corsi For percentage is very poor, a disappointment compared to how well he fared for the Panthers down the stretch last season.

He went on a scoring binge last week, has been seeing extra PT of late, and even when the touches aren’t there, he’s contributing in other ways (four assists, three steals and two blocks on Thursday, when he moved back into the starting lineup). As for Beverley’s touches, they’ve been rising all season long, so that trend — combined with playing his most minutes since 2018-19 — makes him worthy of Fantasy consideration, especially in deeper formats.
