CONNOR DEWAR NEWS

Offers assist Friday Dewar provided an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Dewar is up to three goals and an assist over six contests with the Penguins. The 25-year-old forward has quickly moved up the lineup after being an occasional healthy scratch when he wasn't on injured reserve for the Maple Leafs prior to the trade deadline. Dewar has seven points, 39 shots on net, 93 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances in 2024-25. Even with a larger role in Pittsburgh, there's no guarantee his current success on offense will last.

Lights lamp twice in big win Dewar scored two goals in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Devils.

Impact The 25-year-old has only three goals on the season, and they've all come in the last two games. Dewar managed only three helpers in 31 appearances for the Maple Leafs earlier this season before being sent to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, but the depth forward seems to have found a spark with his new club. He's never scored more than 11 goals or 19 points in a season however, so his hot streak isn't likely to last.

Gets goal in win Dewar scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

Impact The goal was Dewar's first of the campaign and first points over three contests as a Penguin after he was traded from the Maple Leafs. He's in a third-line role in Pittsburgh compared to the limited fourth-line action he got in Toronto. For the season, the 25-year-old depth forward has four points, 32 shots on net, 85 hits and a minus-1 rating over 34 appearances.

MARCH 12 • POST-GAZETTE.COM

Dealt to Pittsburgh Dewar and Conor Timmins were traded to the Penguins from the Maple Leafs on Friday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Due to shoulder and upper-body injuries at various times this season, Dewar was limited to three points over 31 outings with the Maple Leafs. He'll get a fresh start after being traded at the deadline for the second year in a row. He's a physical forward with limited scoring upside, so he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role once he makes his Penguins debut.

Activated from IR Dewar (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

Impact The Maple Leafs placed Chris Tanev (upper body) on the IR list in a corresponding move. Dewar will be available to return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday after missing the last 11 games. He has produced three assists, 27 shots on goal, 18 blocked shots and 78 hits across 29 appearances this season.

Still sidelined versus Bruins Dewar (upper body) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's tilt with Boston, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Dewar will miss his 10th straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. With the Leafs currently in the midst of a four-game road trip, it seems unlikely the 25-year-old center will return in the short term, so fantasy players can likely expect him to also be unavailable versus the Rangers and Penguins on Friday and Sunday, respectively -- though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Won't suit up Sunday Dewar (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against Chicago, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Although Dewar will sit out a ninth consecutive game Sunday, head coach Craig Berube said that the 25-year-old is ready to return. Dewar's next opportunity to suit up will be in Boston on Tuesday.

Could be back Sunday Dewar (upper body) will not play Saturday against the Hurricanes but could return Sunday against Chicago, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dewar's been sidelined with an upper-body injury since Jan. 22, though he's "close" according to coach Craig Berube. The 25-year-old Dewar has three assists in 29 games with Toronto this season.

Placed on injured reserve Per David Alter of The Hockey News, the Maple Leafs placed Dewar (upper body) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Dewar has only three helpers in 29 games this season. The fourth-line center has struggled all year, as he was behind the eight-ball after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery that cost him the first 16 games of the season. The Maple Leafs recalled Nikita Grebenkin from AHL Toronto in a corresponding move.

Out with upper-body issue Dewar will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Wednesday due to an upper-body injury, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dewar is currently stuck in a season-long goal drought, going all 29 games without finding the back of the net. When he has played, the 25-year-old center managed just three helpers, 78 hits and 18 blocks while averaging a mere 10:07 of ice time. With Dewar out, in addition to Max Pacioretty (upper body), Ryan Reaves figures to see some additional minutes.

Garners assist in overtime win Dewar notched an assist and six hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact Dewar has two helpers over his last four contests. The 25-year-old forward has also contributed 31 hits over his last six games, providing plenty of physicality in a fourth-line role. He's at three assists, 24 shots on net, 67 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 23 outings overall.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in with helper Dewar provided an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Dewar ended a seven-game point drought that also saw him sit out twice as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old has been limited to fourth-line duties this year, so it's unlikely he'll put up significant scoring numbers even at the best of times. He's logged two assists, 22 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first point of campaign Dewar registered a shorthanded assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Devils.

Impact Dewar set up a Pontus Holmberg tally to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the third period. The helper was Dewar's first point in 12 appearances this season. The 25-year-old has filled a fourth-line role, adding physicality -- 27 hits and 10 blocked shots -- since he recovered from offseason shoulder surgery. Given his limited scoring upside, Dewar is not a strong option for fantasy managers.
