Staying with Pittsburgh Dewar signed a one-year contract with the Penguins on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Dewar did not receive a qualifying offer from Pittsburgh by Monday's deadline, but he is ultimately staying with the team that acquired him in March. The left-shot forward logged just three helpers over 31 regular-season appearances with Toronto in 2024-25, but he fared much better in his time with the Pens, generating four goals and three helpers over 17 appearances. The 26-year-old is set to be a fixture in the bottom six this coming season.

Released by Pens Dewar wasn't given a qualifying offer by Pittsburgh on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent.

Impact Dewar was previously in Toronto with Pens' GM Kyle Dubas, so the move to let him reach free agency comes as a bit of a surprise. In his 17 outings with Pittsburgh, the 26-year-old natural center notched four goals and three assists but lacked a role on the power play. As such, Dewar's fantasy value is somewhat limited to mid-range, though he should have no problem securing a contract somewhere during the offseason.

Bags assist in win Dewar logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

Impact Dewar had three points over seven outings in April. The 25-year-old forward ended the campaign with four goals, six assists, 55 shots on net, 129 hits and a minus-3 rating over 48 appearances between the Penguins and the Maple Leafs. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer, but he showed enough as a bottom-six forward in his time with Pittsburgh to get a new contract.

Deposits goal Thursday Dewar scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Dewar ended his six-game goal drought with a second-period tally. The 25-year-old continues to see middle-six minutes with the Penguins, including a season-high 18:55 in Thursday's contest. He's up to four goals, eight points, 47 shots on net, 112 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 42 appearances between Pittsburgh and Toronto this season.

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.

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, 2025 • 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.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
