Ilya Mikheyev - Provides helper in loss Mikheyev notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Impact Mikheyev has bounced back from a five-game slump with a goal and an assist over his last two outings. It's helped that he's moved up to a line with J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser -- the third party on that line has typically seen an uptick in offense every time head coach Rick Tocchet shuffles his forward combinations. Mikheyev needs the spark, as he's managed 28 points, 125 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating through 64 appearances. That's the same point total he had in 46 games a year ago, though he needs just five more to set a career high.

Quinn Hughes - Secures career-high point total Hughes notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Impact What was long expected is now official -- Hughes has set a career high in points for the third straight year. He's picked up seven points over six outings in March and now has 77 points, including 29 on the power play, through 68 appearances this season. The defenseman has added 164 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-36 rating as one of the top overall blueliners in the league in 2023-24.

Brock Boeser - Scores early in loss Boeser scored a goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Impact Boeser snapped a five-game goal drought just 1:11 into the contest. The winger stumbled right after the All-Star break, but he's rebounded with six goals and six assists over his last 12 outings. Overall, he's racked up 36 tallies, 66 points, 181 shots on net and a plus-27 rating through 68 contests in his career-best campaign.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Casey DeSmith - Yields two goals in loss DeSmith allowed two goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Impact It was a relatively low-event game, but the Capitals scored twice in a span of 1:53 in the second period to turn things around. That left DeSmith with his second straight loss since he took over the starting role with Thatcher Demko (knee) out. DeSmith is down to 8-5-6 with a 2.87 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 21 appearances. DeSmith is likely to continue handling a large role -- the Canucks aren't scheduled for any back-to-backs over the next week, and Demko's not expected to return until close to the end of the month at the earliest.

The 32-year-old DeSmith's made 20 appearances this season, going 8-4-6 with an .897 save percentage and 2.91 GAA. The Capitals are averaging 2.63 goals per game this year, the fourth-lowest mark in the league.
