Tallies game-winner Saturday Zadorov scored a goal, went plus-2, added two hits and blocked four shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Zadorov ended his nine-game point drought at 9:42 of the third period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old defenseman is in the lineup for his physical work, but he can still chip in decent offense at times. He's at two goals, 19 points, 89 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 134 PIM, 165 hits and a plus-19 rating over 69 appearances this season while averaging a career-best 21:05 of ice time.

Nabs assist Tuesday Zadorov logged an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Zadorov earned his first point in seven games since he missed a contest due to an ankle issue. The 30-year-old defenseman has been under 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last four games, which is a product of the Bruins' defense being fully healthy. Zadorov has produced 18 points, 72 shots on net, 146 hits, 81 blocked shots, 125 PIM and a plus-19 rating over 59 appearances this season, making him a strong source of all-around physical production in fantasy.

Expected to play Zadorov (ankle) is slated to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Impact Zadorov missed Monday's game versus the Rangers, but he was a game-time decision for that contest. He also returned to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens after sustaining the injury, which suggests it isn't likely to be a long-term concern. Zadorov is expected to fill a top-four shutdown role Tuesday.

Not playing in NYC Zadorov (ankle) will miss Monday's road game against the Rangers.

Impact Zadorov will miss his first game of the campaign Monday due to an ankle injury he sustained Saturday against Montreal. The Bruins will play in the second half of a back-to-back at home Tuesday against Nashville, but it's unclear if Zadorov will be available for that matchup at this time.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Zadorov (ankle) will be a game-time call against the Rangers on Monday, per Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site.

Impact Zadorov temporarily left Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal, but he came back to play in the third period. He has produced one goal, 16 assists, 63 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 130 hits and 121 PIM across 52 appearances this season. If Zadorov is unavailable to play, Henri Jokiharju will probably be in the lineup against the Rangers on Monday.

Status in question for Monday Zadorov sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens, and his status for Monday's road game against the Rangers has yet to be determined, Kevin Paul Dupon...

Impact Zadorov was unable to practice Sunday due to his ankle injury. The left-shot blueliner can be considered questionable for Monday's matchup in Manhattan. If Zadorov is unable to suit up against the Rangers, Henri Jokiharju will draw back into the lineup.

Posts assist in loss Zadorov notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact Zadorov hasn't scored a goal since Oct. 16, a span of 45 games. Since the start of December, he's contributed eight assists, 71 PIM, 44 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 23 outings, mainly in a top-four role. Zadorov's aggressive play is his best trait in fantasy, and he chips in just enough offense to stay on the radar. He has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 129 hits, 119 PIM, 74 blocks and a plus-16 rating through 50 contests this season.
