Generates power-play assist Monday Weegar notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, six hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Weegar's only contribution over the previous six games was a hat trick versus the Islanders on Feb. 10. The 30-year-old snapped a three-game slump when he set up a Nazem Kadri equalizer in the second period. Weegar has generally impressed on offense this season, racking up 33 points, 139 shots on net, 118 hits, 136 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 56 appearances. He should continue to provide well-rounded production for fantasy managers.

First career NHL hat trick Weegar scored three goals Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact It was his first NHL hat trick, and remarkably, it's the first hat trick by any NHL defender this season. Weegar opened the scoring early in the first with a wrist shot from the right face-off dot off the rush. His second came late in the second and stood as the winner. Weegar one-timed the puck past Semyon Varlamov after his teammate whiffed on a shot from the low slot. An empty-net goal completed the trick. Weegar is having a career season. He has 15 goals, which eclipses the 12 he put up over the last two seasons. And he's on pace for a best-ever 50 points. Beware his inflated 11.6 percent shooting rate, which is more than double his career mark of 5.7. But he's still extremely valuable in fantasy even if there is some regression.
