Adam Pelech - NHL News & Rumors

Rare point this season Pelech scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto.

Impact It was Pelech's third goal and sixth point of the season (42 games). Last season, he put up 21 assists in 60 games. Pelech's fantasy value lies in his ability to block shots. He put up one Saturday to bring his season total to 71, but in the absence of offense, he's a tough one-category activation.

Nets game-winning goal Pelech scored the game-winning goal and recorded three blocks in Tuesday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.

Impact Pelech delivered in the clutch Tuesday, as he tallied the game-winning goal with just 75 seconds remaining in the contest. With the game-winning twine finder, he is up to two goals, five points, 54 shots on net and 60 blocks across 37 games this season. While the 31-year-old blueliner is having a down year offensively, he has two goals and three points over his last 10 games, which is a vast improvement from the scoreless streak he had in November. Pelech also offers solid category coverage, averaging just under two blocks and shots per game. With his offensive numbers taking a turn in the right direction, he could see some value in deep fantasy category leagues if he can stay the course.

Ends point drought with goal Pelech scored a goal, put two shots on target and blocked a shot in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Pelech ended a 16-game point drought Thursday with a goal near the midway point of the second period, which gave the Isles a 4-0 lead. With the twine finder, Pelech grabbed his first goal of the season and is up to three points, 42 shots on goal and 43 blocks through 28 games this season. While the 11-year NHL veteran isn't known for his goal scoring, he's reached the 15-point mark in each of the past four seasons and is at risk of losing that streak this year. Despite losing many of his playmaking responsibilities to rookie sensation Matthew Schaefer, Pelech is still averaging 20 minutes of ice time per game and has the opportunity to bounce back while skating on the Islanders' second defensive pairing. He's best left on waivers in fantasy for the time being, but if he starts to find the scoresheet with some consistency, he could have some streaming value in deep fantasy leagues due to his solid category coverage.

Steady defense, no offense Pelech's point drought reached 16 games in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

Impact During that slump, Pelech has a plus-4 rating and 27 blocked shots. The 31-year-old has been entrusted with top-four minutes this season, but he's leaning even more into a shutdown role than in previous years. He's at two assists, 40 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-7 rating across 27 appearances this season.

Nabs first helper Pelech posted an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Pelech helped out on a Kyle Palmieri equalizer in the third period. This was Pelech's first point through five games. The 31-year-old blueliner will be leaned on for shutdown minutes this season, perhaps even more so with a couple of capable offensive defensemen in Matthew Schaefer and Tony DeAngelo on the roster. Pelech has racked up three blocked shots, seven shots on net and a plus-4 rating to begin the campaign.

Cleared for camp practices Pelech (undisclosed) participated in Thursday's practice, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Per Gross, Pelech is wearing a shield to protect his jaw after taking a puck to the mouth recently. The defenseman also told reporters he is fully healthy and ready to play, so the jaw shield appears to just be a precaution. He plays a physically taxing style and has missed over 20 games in each of the last three seasons, though he should be a regular in the lineup when healthy. Pelech had 21 points (all assists) with 87 blocked shot and 73 hits in 60 regular-season games in 2024-25.
