Alexander Petrovic - NHL News & Rumors

Back with Cats Petrovic signed a two-year contract with Florida on Wednesday.

Impact Petrovic previously spent seven years with the Panthers, appearing in 254 regular-season games and tallying 49 points in those outings. Looking ahead to next season, the veteran blueliner is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could periodically serve as a healthy scratch. Still, he's a solid seventh defenseman to have around, even if that doesn't translate to fantasy value.

Posts helper in win Petrovic notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Petrovic has played in three of the last five games. The 34-year-old has been called upon in the absences of Miro Heiskanen (lower body) and Nils Lundkvist (illness). If the Stars' blue line is at full health in the postseason, Petrovic will likely be no more than a part-time option, but as a steady veteran on the third pairing, he may get looks as a change-of-pace player. He has contributed 10 points, 57 shots on net, 88 hits, 77 blocked shots and 47 PIM over 54 appearances this season.

Stuck outside of lineup Petrovic was scratched for the 13th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact The Stars are carrying nine blueliners currently, and that has left Petrovic on the outside looking in since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old defenseman may get some playing time once the Stars' playoff positioning gets solidified. For the season, he's at nine points, 56 shots on net, 47 PIM, 83 hits and 77 blocked shots over 51 outings, which is his most productive season since 2017-18, when he had 13 points in 67 games for the Panthers.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Slipping into part-time role Petrovic was scratched for the fourth time in nine games in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Petrovic played regularly for much of the first half of the season, but he's in a 17-game point drought currently. The 33-year-old defenseman's slump also coincides with the Stars getting healthier on the blue line -- they're missing only Lian Bichsel (lower body) at this time, though Ilya Lyubushkin is battling a lower-body injury sustained in Friday's contest. That could open the door for Petrovic again. He'll look to add to his totals of nine points, 50 shots on net, 77 hits, 67 blocked shots and 47 PIM through 46 appearances when he gets his next chance to play.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine Tuesday Petrovic scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Petrovic was on the second pairing alongside the returning Thomas Harley (lower body) for this contest. That shows just how much trust Petrovic has gained amid the Stars' ongoing defensive injury woes. For the season, the 33-year-old is at two goals, nine points, 37 shots on net, 44 hits, 46 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 29 appearances. He's unlikely to score enough for managers in standard fantasy formats, but he's physical enough to help in banger leagues. Six of his nine points have come over his last 15 games.

Gets in on goal party Petrovic scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-5 in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The Stars dominated the contest, and Petrovic was able to get a season-high 18:51 of ice time as the team rested its key players later in the contest. The goal was his first in the NHL since the 2017-18 regular season when he was with the Panthers, though he did score once during the Stars' playoff run this past spring. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to four points, 17 shots on net, 24 hits, 16 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances, and he looks to be a lock for third-pairing minutes at least until Nils Lundkvist (lower body) is healthy.

Secures helper in loss Petrovic notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact The helper was Petrovic's first point of the season. The 33-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating over nine appearances. The assist was his first point in an NHL game since the 2018-19 campaign. Petrovic has a good chance of staying in the lineup throughout the absence of Nils Lundkvist (lower body).

Impact Petrovic was a major part of the Stars' playoff run, appearing in 17 of 18 games. He earned two points and added 32 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. With AHL Texas still competing for the Calder Cup, waiving Petrovic allows him to link up with the minor-league team, assuming he goes unclaimed.

Scores second career playoff goal Petrovic found the back of the net on his only shot, threw two hits and went plus-1 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

Impact Petrovic's marker was subjected to a lengthy review to determine if he distinctly kicked the puck into the net, but the goal was ultimately upheld. This was Petrovic's first playoff tally since 2015-16 when he was with the Panthers. The right-shot blueliner appeared in just five regular-season games in 2024-25, but he's already doubled that total in the postseason. He's been steady on the third pairing, chipping in a goal, an assist, six shots on net, 22 hits and 10 blocked shots while receiving 13:55 of ice time. If Petrovic continues to hold his own on the blue line, he could earn himself a full-time role in the regular season in 2025-26.

Impact Petrovic has a helper, four shots on net, six hits and eight blocked shots over five playoff contests. He's done fine as a third-pairing defenseman alongside Lian Bichsel -- the two have played together at AHL Texas. Still, Petrovic or Bichsel will likely be the one to cede a spot in the lineup when Miro Heiskanen (knee) is ready to return.
