Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Plates pair of apples
Rotowire
Gostisbehere registered two assists and blocked four shots in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flyers.
Both of Gostisbehere's helpers were secondary assists in the second period. His first assist was on the power play, and his second helped Mark Jankowski tally his second goal of the game. Overall, Gostisbehere is up to 30 assists, 37 points and 53 blocks in 59 appearances this season. The 31-year-old blueliner is currently tied for 18th in assists among defensemen and second among all Hurricanes behind only Sebastian Aho. Gostisbehere has eight points over his last 11 games and has been fairly consistent in his production all season. His 22 power-play points are intriguing in fantasy, and he can add to blue lines in leagues that value offensive production.
Gostisbehere dished a power-play assist, took four shots on net and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Edmonton.
Gostisbehere helped set up Sebastian Aho's lone goal of the game for Carolina. The 31-year-old Gostisbehere is up to 26 assists, 33 points and 95 shots on goal in 52 games this season. It seems he has benefitted from the 4 Nations Face-Off break, as he has tallied four points in his last three games. If Gostisbehere can rediscover the scoring touch that helped him pick up 27 points in a 31-game span earlier this season, he could be a good addition to any blue line in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: First goal in 21 games
Rotowire
Gostisbehere had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.
Gostisbehere finally got the Canes on the board at 12:25 of the third period. He skated into the slot from the blue line and one-timed a pass from Sebastian Aho, who found him from behind the net. Gostisbehere ended a 20-game goalless drought and has just four points (one goal, three assists) in his last 18 outings. While those are lengthy droughts, he had 27 points in his first 31 appearances this season. Gostisbehere is somewhere between those two polarities and could bring sneaky value for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Rotowire
Gostisbehere picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.

Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Three helpers against Isles
Rotowire
Gostisbehere collected three assists, two on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
The three-point effort was a season high for Gostisbehere, and it continued a scoring surge that has seen him compile 15 points -- one goal and 14 helpers -- over the last 13 contests. The veteran blueliner appears to have made the right choice by signing with Carolina in the offseason, and he's on pace for a career-best campaign with five tallies and 24 points in his first 27 games as a Hurricane. Gostisbehere's unlikely to approach his career-high 17 goals from 2015-16 but could challenge his 2017-18 best of 65 points, both of which came with the Flyers.
