Puts up pair of assists Zadorov notched two assists, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Zadorov is back in a top-four role this season, and he should stay there throughout the year. While he had a multi-point effort Friday, the bulk of his fantasy production comes from his high-end physicality. He's already racked up 10 hits and three blocked shots, and Zadorov is also a candidate to generate 100-plus PIM. He's at least been consistent over the last five years, generating between 20 and 22 points in each of those seasons, giving fantasy managers a reasonable expectation for what he's capable of doing.

Deemed healthy for this season Zadorov has moved past his knee injury and will be at the Bruins' training camp, which begins Wednesday, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Zadorov played through a torn MCL during the Bruins' first-round series loss against the Sabres last season. General manager Don Sweeney said Monday that the team is not dealing with any injuries, which suggests that Zadorov will have no restrictions when training camp begins. The left-shot blueliner will continue to be a steady source of physicality in 2026-27 while likely hovering around the 20-point mark.

Played through torn MCL Zadorov sustained a torn MCL in Game 3 of the Bruins' first-round series versus the Sabres, but the defenseman played through the injury, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Given the severity of the injury, Zadorov's offseason training program is likely to be impacted. His status for the start of 2026-27 will be determined at a later time. Zadorov is under contract with the Bruins, so he'll be good to go for a shutdown role once he's healthy again.

Good to go Tuesday Zadorov (undisclosed) will play against Buffalo on Tuesday in Game 5, according to Adam Pellerin of NESN.

Impact After missing Monday's practice for maintenance, Zadorov will be good to go for Tuesday's must-win matchup versus the Sabres. He has collected one assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots, 16 hits and 37 PIM in four appearances this postseason. The Bruins need a victory to force Game 6 in Boston on Friday.
