Vasily Podkolzin - Nabs helper in win Podkolzin logged an assist, two shots on goal, six hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Podkolzin's helper was his first point in eight NHL appearances this season. He assisted on Nils Aman's insurance tally in the third period. Podkolzin has featured mainly in a fourth-line role so far, adding 11 shots on net and 29 hits, but his lack of offense makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Sam Lafferty - Chips in with helper Lafferty logged an assist, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Lafferty snapped a 10-game point drought when he assisted on the second of Nikita Zadorov's two goals in the game. The 29-year-old Lafferty has been all over the Canucks' lineup this season, but his recent lack of offense has kept him in a bottom-six role. He's at 22 points, 69 shots on net, 143 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 67 appearances.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Teddy Blueger - Records assist Blueger notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Blueger set up a Conor Garland tally in the second period. The helper was Blueger's second over the last five games, but he hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 28, a span of 34 contests in which he has 12 helpers. The 29-year-old forward is up to 25 points, 83 shots on net, 83 hits and a plus-9 rating through 56 appearances this season, playing mainly in a bottom-six role.

Tyler Myers - Picks up assist Myers logged an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Myers picked up his first point in three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The defenseman has resumed his usual second-line role after a five-game absence, though he offers more defensively than on the scoresheet. He's up to a solid 24 points with 67 shots on net, 67 PIM, 89 hits, 118 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 65 appearances this season.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Elias Lindholm - Snags helper in win Lindholm recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Lindholm is still stuck in a 15-game goal drought, and he's managed just three assists with a minus-6 rating and 16 shots on net in that span. The lack of production is likely a result of a demotion to the third line after his initial chemistry with Elias Pettersson sputtered out. Lindholm is at 40 points, 160 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-14 rating through 70 contests between the Canucks and the Flames this season, though he's earned just eight of those points across 21 games since he joined Vancouver.

Ilya Mikheyev - Dishes two assists Thursday Mikheyev notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Mikheyev set up both of Nikita Zadorov's first-period tallies. With four points over his last four outings, Mikheyev is starting to get into a rhythm on offense. The winger is up to 30 points -- two shy of matching his career high -- with 128 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating through 66 appearances. He should continue to fill a middle-six role.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Nils Aman - Finds twine in win Aman scored a goal and blocked three shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Aman had been a healthy scratch for nine straight contests before getting into the lineup Tuesday versus the Sabres. The 24-year-old forward remains in a fourth-line role, which puts a significant limit on his scoring potential. He's at three goals, seven points, 22 shots on net, 22 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 37 appearances.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Conor Garland - Tallies in Thursday's win Garland scored a goal and added four PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Garland continues his strong run of offense, which has seen him rack up four goals and two assists over his last eight games. The winger scored late in the second period to stretch the Canucks' lead to 3-0. He's up to 15 goals, 34 points, 157 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 70 appearances on the year. While Garland was listed on the top line Thursday, his 13:45 of ice time was actually lower than his season average of 14:08 per game.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Nikita Zadorov - Unlikely hero Thursday Zadorov scored twice on five shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Zadorov's pair of tallies in the first period ended up being all Casey DeSmith needed to guide the Canucks to a win. This was Zadorov's second multi-point outing in his last four games. The rugged defenseman is up to six goals, 18 points, 75 shots on net, 147 hits, 60 blocked shots, 98 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 64 contests between the Canucks and the Flames this season. While Thursday was an impressive effort, Zadorov's third-pairing role makes it unlikely he'll replicate this outing any time soon.
MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE
Casey DeSmith - Solid in Thursday's win DeSmith stopped 16 of 17 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact DeSmith limited the damage to a Juraj Slafkovsky goal late in the second period. The Canucks have done well to limited the pucks getting through to DeSmith, who has faced just 58 shots over his last three outings. He's 2-1-1 as the team's primary starter with Thatcher Demko (knee) sidelined. DeSmith is up to 10-5-6 with a 2.75 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 23 appearances this season. The Canucks' homestand continues Saturday versus the Flames.
