Michael Bunting - Adds PP helper SaturdayBunting recorded a power-play assist on three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
ImpactGiven his current pace, Bunting has a chance to crack the 50-point mark for the second time in his career after just barely missing that mark last season (23G, 26A). He continues to skate primarily on the Canes' second line and remains a decent fantasy option in most standard formats.

Stefan Noesen - Closing in on career highNoesen notched his 31st point of the season with an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
ImpactNow that he's cracked the 30-point mark for the second consecutive season, Noesen now has a chance to hit 40 points for the first time in his career. Not bad for a guy who's currently skating on the Canes' fourth line, although Noesen does see supplemental minutes on the second power-play unit where he's averaging 1:33 of ice time this season.

Alex Iafallo - Supplies helper in winIafallo posted an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.
ImpactIafallo has reached the 20-point mark in his debut campaign with the Jets, with his running total comprised of eight goals, 12 assists and a plus-5 rating through 59 games. He's starting shifts in the offensive zone 59.8 percent of the time, which is a career-high mark, but fantasy managers generally require better numbers on the power play than Iafallo's two goals and three assists.

Andrei Svechnikov - Two helpers SaturdaySvechnikov picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets.
ImpactHe helped set up Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho for second-period tallies, giving Svechnikov his first multi-point performance in 11 games since returning from an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old winger has been productive this season when he's been on the ice, and through 40 contests he's delivered 13 goals and 37 points.
MARCH 3•ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Aho - Two points against JetsAho scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Winnipeg.
ImpactBoth points came in the second period as the Hurricanes surged out to a 3-0 lead, but the third period belonged to the Jets. It's only Aho's second multi-point performance in the last 15 games, but he's stayed productive with eight goals and 11 points over that stretch. Saturday's goal was the 24th of the season for the 26-year-old winger, a mark he's reached in each of his eight NHL campaigns.
