Andrew Peeke - Sends helper in win Peeke notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Peeke has two helpers, three shots on net, 10 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season. He looks to be a fixture on the third pairing to begin 2024-25 after rotating in and out of the lineup regular in his stops with the Blue Jackets and the Bruins last year. Peeke's career high in points is 15 from the 2021-22 campaign, so there is little fantasy upside in his playing style, though he can rack up high totals in hits and blocked shots.

Nikita Zadorov - Deals assist in win Zadorov registered an assist, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Zadorov helped out on a Cole Koepke goal in the first period. The helper was Zaodrov's third of the campaign. The 29-year-old defenseman has added 17 PIM, six shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over five appearances. He's filled a bottom-four role while adding high-end toughness and a surprising amount of offense early in the season. Zadorov has reached the 20-point mark in three straight campaigns and is setting a strong foundation for 2024-25.

Mason Lohrei - Contributes assist in win Lohrei provided a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Lohrei has played in four of the Bruins' five games, and with a goal and three assists to his name this season, he's making a case to stay in the lineup regularly. The defenseman has added five shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Lohrei saw even-strength minutes on the top pairing Wednesday, though he was limited to 17:00 of ice time overall.

Brad Marchand - Adds power-play assist Marchand logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Marchand left the game for a bit late in the second period, but he was able to return in the third. The winger has three assists, 11 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and eight PIM through five contests so far. He's been held without a shot just once, but the struggles of linemates Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic has made it difficult for Marchand to contribute on the scoresheet.

John Beecher - Deposits empty-netter Beecher scored an empty-net goal and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Beecher cut off the Avalanche's comeback attempt with the empty-netter. The 23-year-old has scored in back-to-back games and is up to five points through five contests in a fourth-line role. He's also gone plus-9 with six shots on net, 11 hits and eight blocked shots. The Bruins haven't gotten much from their middle six, allowing Beecher and linemates Cole Koepke and Mark Kastelic to pick up the slack.

Cole Koepke - Stays warm with opening goal Koepke scored a goal on four shots, added seven hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Koepke continues to be one of the best early stories in the league. His first-period tally Wednesday was his second goal and fifth point in five appearances, and his chemistry with Mark Kastelic and John Beecher has made that trio one of the Bruins' best lines early on. Koepke has added 17 hits and a plus-9 rating. He saw 14:00 of ice time Wednesday and could continue to see his role grow if he keeps up the strong play.

Charlie Coyle - Tallies on power play Coyle scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Coyle's first-period tally was his first point of the season. The 32-year-old center has maintained a second-line spot, but he's picked up just six shots on net with 10 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over five appearances. Coyle earned career highs with 25 goals and 60 points in 82 regular-season games last year, but his slow start to 2024-25 will jeopardize his chances of a repeat performance.

David Pastrnak - Buries power-play goal Pastrnak scored a power-play goal on five shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Pastrnak's three-game point streak ended Monday, but he didn't take long to get back on the scoresheet. The 28-year-old winger has four goals, one assist, 20 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over five appearances. While some top goal-scorers have struggled early in 2024-25, Pastrnak is humming along. He's reached 40 goals in four of the last five years and has earned 100 points in two straight seasons, so he's as reliable as they come in fantasy.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Hampus Lindholm - Earns two points in win Lindholm scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Lindholm set up a David Pastrnak tally at 9:09 of the second period and then scored a goal of his own, which was the game-winner, just 13 seconds later. Through five contests, Lindholm has three points, 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He's seeing steady top-four minutes as well as some power-play time. The 30-year-old defenseman was limited to 26 points in 73 regular-season outings a year ago, but that was just one season after a career-best 53-point effort, so he should be capable of landing somewhere in middle of those two marks in 2024-25.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Joonas Korpisalo - Picks up win Wednesday Korpisalo stopped 22 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Korpisalo's second start with the Bruins was a noticeable improvement on his debut. All three Avalanche goals came on the power play, so Korpisalo still needs to work on being the best penalty killer on the ice as the goalie often needs to be. The 30-year-old is 1-1-0 with nine goals allowed on 60 shots through two starts. It's safe to assume Jeremy Swayman will be between the pipes for Saturday's game in Utah.
