Impact Vlasic had just one goal in all of February, but he's already picked up a pair of helpers over three games in March. The defenseman doesn't typically see much power-play time, but he was on the ice at the tail end of one and was able to help out on Jason Dickinson's second-period tally. Vlasic is at 13 points, 52 shots on net, 43 hits, 109 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 56 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Impact Korchinski snapped a nine-game drought with the helper on Jason Dickinson's tally in the second period. While Korchinski is lacking on offense -- 11 points (six on the power play) and 73 shots on net over 57 outings -- he remains in a top-four role as a rookie. He's added 62 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-27 rating this season.

Bedard is up to 43 points, including 13 on the power play, through 49 appearances. He's added 143 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-36 rating. Bedard's steady offense amid a poor team situation makes his rookie year all the more impressive.

He assisted on goals by Seth Jones, Nick Foligno and Philipp Kurashev as the Blackhawks showed rare efficiency with the man advantage.

The 24-year-old winger continues to enjoy playing alongside Connor Bedard on the top line and first power-play unit. Kurashev has 11 goals, 35 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-37 rating through 56 appearances.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

The 36-year-old is up to 29 points (11 on the power play) with 114 shots on net, 149 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-19 rating through 56 appearances. Foligno has bounced around the lineup lately, but he's worth a look as a streaming option when he plays on the top line.
MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jason Dickinson - Two points in win Dickinson scored a power-play goal on three shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Dickinson's last multi-point effort was Jan. 19, and he had just four points over the 16 games in between. The 28-year-old center has often defied his reputation as a defense-first forward this season, providing steady secondary scoring from the second line. He's up to 18 goals, 30 points, 100 shots on net, 105 hits and a plus-3 rating through 63 appearances, matching his career-best point total from 78 games in 2022-23.

The 24-year-old goalie is up to 3-18-1 with a 3.88 GAA and an .880 save percentage through 24 contests overall. The win might help with his confidence, and he should get another chance to start soon since the Blackhawks visit the Capitals on Saturday and host the Coyotes on Sunday.
