Weegar scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked seven shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Weegar closed out March with three goals and five assists over his last seven games. The defenseman is third in the NHL for goals among blueliners with 18, trailing just Cale Makar and Roman Josi, who have 19 each. Weegar has matched his career high with 44 points while adding 182 shots on net, 172 hits, 184 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 73 outings. His success in all areas has made him a standout fantasy defenseman, though he'll likely have a regression red flag attached heading into 2024-25.

Weegar scored a goal on six shots, blocked five shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

He's up to 16 tallies, 40 points, 173 shots on net, 166 blocked shots, 161 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances. Weegar's still got a good shot to top his career high of 44 points from 2021-22.

EDGE Analysis
Weegar contributed to the win all night, providing three assists and leading all skaters with 24:30 of ice time. He also added two hits, two shots on goal and a plus-1 rating. He has been rock solid for the Flames since Chris Tanev was traded to the Stars and continues to build on his career year, though Saturday's outing did snap a four-game scoreless slump. With 15 goals and 36 points on the season, he is a player fantasy managers may want to consider rostering if he is available.
