Kaapo Kahkonen - Expected to start Saturday Kahkonen will guard the home goal versus the Islanders on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

In 2022-23, he's at 10-17-7 with a 3.26 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 35 appearances. The Sharks' homestand ends Saturday versus the Islanders.

William Eklund - Nets first career goal Eklund scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Eklund's second-period tally was the first of his career, coming in his 15th game. He's picked up two points, 11 shots on net, five hits and a minus-6 rating through six outings this season. While there's a bit of a learning curve for the 20-year-old, he should continue to get top-six minutes alongside Tomas Hertl. Eklund remains more attractive in dynasty formats.
MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Barabanov - Grabs two points Barabanov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact Barabanov has a goal and four helpers over his last three outings, and he's up to eight points through seven games in March. The 28-year-old winger has 14 tallies, 31 assists, 114 shots on net and a minus-26 rating through 63 contests overall. He remains on the second line and top power-play unit, providing some sneaky depth value in fantasy.
MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Benning - Records helper in overtime loss Benning produced an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact After a strong first half of the campaign, Benning has just two helpers in 17 contests since the All-Star break. The 28-year-old likely wasn't going to keep his offense up forever, as he's more of a physical presence. For the season, he's at one goal, 22 helpers, 48 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 89 hits and a minus-16 rating through 66 appearances.
MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fabian Zetterlund - Notches first helper with new team Zetterlund posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact The helper was Zetterlund's first point in eight games since he was dealt from New Jersey to San Jose in the Timo Meier trade. Despite the lack of offense, Zetterlund has gotten a look in the top six, though he saw just 11:46 of ice time Tuesday. The 23-year-old winger is up to 21 points, 96 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-2 rating through 53 contests between the two teams this season.
