Burns former team Pearson scored a goal on one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 6-2 win over Montreal.

Contributes assist in loss Pearson provided an assist and five hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Pearson snapped a six-game slump with his helper on Brett Howden's first-period tally. The 32-year-old Pearson will have some variance on offense while filling a bottom-six role. The winger is at three goals, five assists, 18 shots on goal, 22 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 18 outings this season. He doesn't stand out in any area and receives no power-play time, so Pearson has limited ways to contribute in fantasy.

Impact Pearson scored for the second time in the last three games when he got the Golden Knights on the board at 14:58 of the second period. The winger has been limited to middle-six duties, but he's done fairly well in that role so far. Pearson is at three goals, seven points, 11 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating over 11 appearances. He's already over halfway to matching the 13-point campaign he produced over 54 games with the Canadiens in 2023-24.

Strikes early in blowout win Pearson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Pearson has two goals and three assists over his last four games. The 32-year-old winger remains in a bottom-six role, but he could get a boost in the quality of his linemates now that William Karlsson is healthy and playing on the third line. Pearson has six points, nine shots on net, nine hits and a plus-5 rating over nine appearances. He's a points-only option for fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Provides pair of helpers Pearson logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Pearson has four points over his last three games, though he remains in a bottom-six role. It's unclear how long he'll be able to sustain this burst of offense given he's averaging 12:08 of ice time over eight contests. He has five points, seven shots on net, seven hits and a plus-3 rating this season.

Impact The veteran winger opened the scoring with 33 seconds left in the first period, turning a defensive-zone breakdown by Florida into his first goal of the season. Pearson hasn't been much of a fantasy asset in recent years -- he hasn't posted a 20-goal season since 2019-20 with the Canucks -- and his middle-six role with the Golden Knights likely won't lead to a resurgence. Through six games this season, he's managed three points.

Signs one-year deal Pearson signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Golden Knights on Friday.

Impact Pearson had been in training camp on a PTO, but he played well enough to earn the contract. Pearson had two goals and an assist in four preseason games. The winger spent last season with the Canadiens, scoring only five goals while adding eight assists in 54 regular-season appearances. Pearson should see action on the fourth line, when he is not a healthy scratch this season as their 13th forward.

Sparks offense Tuesday Pearson scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.

Impact Pearson's tally at 8:56 of the first period tied the game at 1-1, and the Golden Knights controlled things the rest of the way. Through four preseason games, Pearson has collected two goals and one assist. The 32-year-old winger is on a tryout agreement, but his strong showing could help him earn a contract from Vegas or another team. He's likely competing with Brendan Brisson and Tanner Laczynski to be an extra forward on the Opening Night roster at this stage of the exhibition schedule.

Gets tryout from Vegas Pearson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Impact Pearson spent last season with the Canadiens, racking up 13 points in 54 contests. He missed a large chunk of time with an upper-body injury and was also a healthy scratch down the stretch. Injuries have taken significant portions of his last three seasons, but he's healthy and could push for a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, who are currently expected to lean on young forwards in those spots.
