Inks two-year contract Lapierre signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with the Penguins on Friday.
Impact Lapierre produced 16 points over 74 appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. He was dealt to the Penguins on June 25 as the Capitals needed to shed commitments following their aggressive retooling prior to the draft. The 24-year-old forward will be in contention for bottom-six minutes in 2026-27, but he may not play on an everyday basis.

JUNE 25 • HOCKEYFEED.COM
Headed for Steel City Lapierre was traded to the Penguins from the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
Impact Lapierre will be a restricted free agent July 1, and Washington already has over $50 million committed to its forward group, which doesn't include a new deal for Alex Ovechkin if he returns. Selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, the 24-year-old Lapierre will likely be viewed as a reclamation project for the Penguins, especially considering he managed just four goals and 12 assists in 74 regular-season games last year. Even with having to give the Quebec native a new contract this summer, it's likely a low-risk move for the Penguins to bet on Lapierre having a career resurgence with a change of venue.

Nets goal Saturday Lapierre scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Impact Lapierre has a goal and an assist over the last two contests. He opened the scoring at 6:06 of the first period Saturday. The 24-year-old has four goals, 15 points, 51 shots on net, 41 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 69 appearances this season. Lapierre is seeing steady time as the Capitals' fourth-line center, but fantasy managers can likely find better production on the wire in most formats.

One of each Monday Lapierre scored a goal and recorded an assist in Monday's 7-3 win over Calgary.
Impact Lapierre put the Capitals on the scoreboard Monday with a goal less than three minutes into regulation before he later picked up a secondary assist in the third. With the pair of points, he is up to three goals, nine assists, 48 shots on net and 37 hits across 60 games this season. While he doesn't have the high-end scoring needed for most fantasy formats, his recent run of three points over his last four games is an encouraging sign for the 24-year-old, fourth-line center moving forward.

Sparks comeback with goal Lapierre scored a goal and put four shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
Impact After the Capitals went down three goals, Lapierre helped start their four-goal rally with a twine finder midway through the second period. Overall, the 23-year-old center is up to two goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and 32 hits through 53 games this season. Despite having his upside capped in a checking-line role, the young center has passed his offensive output of eight points through 27 regular-season games from a year ago, thanks to a trio of points across his last five appearances. Lapierre's recent run of play likely won't warrant him much consideration in standard fantasy leagues, but he remains an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues if he can continue to find the scoresheet.

Nets rare goal Lapierre scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Impact This was Lapierre's first NHL goal since April 28, 2024 in the playoffs versus the Rangers. His last regular-season goal was March 18, which also came against the Flames. The 23-year-old's development has somewhat stalled out -- he had 22 points in 51 contests in 2023-24, but he has just 15 points over his last 76 outings. This season, he's at a goal, six assists, 37 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating in 49 appearances, mainly in a fourth-line role.

Ends slump with helper Lapierre notched an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Lapierre recently missed two games -- one due to an illness, the other a healthy scratch. That scratch was likely a long time coming, as his assist Tuesday ended an 11-game point drought. The 23-year-old remains in a fourth-line role when he plays, and he's at six helpers, 26 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating through 34 appearances, down from eight assists in 27 regular-season games a year ago.

Healthy scratch Saturday Lapierre will be a healthy scratch Saturday after missing Thursday's game versus Toronto with an illness, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Head coach Spencer Carbery will go with the same lineup as Thursday, when they shut out the Maple Leafs 4-0. Lapierre has five assists, 22 hits and 24 shots on goal over 32 appearances this season. He could return to the lineup Sunday in Detroit.
