BECK MALENSTYN NEWS

Delivers goal in shootout win Malenstyn scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Wild.

Impact Malenstyn has found a little scoring success lately with three goals and a helper over his last seven contests. His tally Saturday tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The bottom-six forward is at five points, 33 shots on net, 80 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 24 appearances. He's halfway to matching his point total from 76 outings a year ago, but he'd need to sustain his recent success to have a chance of topping his career-high 21 points from 2023-24 with the Capitals.

Rare goal in win Malenstyn scored a goal on three shots, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Malenstyn's goal was his first of the season, ending an eight-game point drought. The 27-year-old forward has been a regular on the fourth line, but he's not bringing much in the way of offense. He's at two points, 21 shots on net, 61 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 18 appearances this season. Malenstyn's hit counts can help in banger leagues, but he doesn't often rack up PIM and will likely hurt in formats that count plus-minus rating as well.

Dealing with personal matter Malenstyn (personal) has been designated as a non-roster player, according to the NHL media site.

Impact The Sabres announced Monday that Malenstyn will be absent for a couple of days because of a personal matter. As a result, the 27-year-old forward will miss at least Monday's matchup against Montreal. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Due to Malenstyn's absence, Josh Dunne will probably be in the lineup against the Canadiens on Monday.

Ruled out Tuesday Malenstyn will not be in the lineup versus Toronto on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Malenstyn is currently mired in a 38-game goal drought during which he has garnered a meager two assists, so few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his absence. With the winger shelved, the Sabres will need to bring a player up from the minors to face the Leafs -- with Isak Rosen a strong candidate to earn the promotion from AHL Rochester.
