Two-point effort Tuesday McLeod scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact He got the Devils on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up Curtis Lazar's game-winner in the third with just 23 seconds left on the clock. It's McLeod's first multi-point performance of the season, snapping a six-game point drought, and the 25-year-old is on track to top his prior career high of nine goals with four tallies and eight points through 20 contests in 2023-24.

Offers helper in loss McLeod recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact McLeod has two goals and an assist over four games in November. At least on offense, he's holding his own in a top-six role while filling in for Nico Hischier (upper body) and Jack Hughes (shoulder). McLeod began the year in a bottom-six spot, but the 25-year-old may be earning himself more responsibility with solid play. He's at five points, 20 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-1 rating through 12 outings.

Impact McLeod was blanked in his first two games with just one shot on goal, but the Mississauga, Ont. native played well Monday, particularly in the third period. He managed just four goals 26 points across 80 games last season, so don't expect many more lamp lightings in 2023-24.

Staying with club McLeod put pen to paper on a one-year, $1.4 million deal with New Jersey on Saturday.

Impact McLeod set new personal bests in games played (80), assists (22) and points (26) last season. Selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, the 25-year-old center figures to remain a bottom-six option for New Jersey for the upcoming campaign. Thus, McLeod is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value at best.

Poised to become free agent McLeod wasn't presented with a qualifying offer by the Devils, so he will become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact McLeod had four goals, 26 points, 43 PIM, 127 hits and 51 blocks in 80 contests with New Jersey last season. Retaining his exclusive negotiating rights would have required a one-year, $1 million qualifying offer given that he completed his two-year, $1.95 million deal.

Adds assist in season-ending loss McLeod assisted on a Dawson Mercer goal in the first period en route to a 3-2 season-ending loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday.

Impact McLeod wasn't the biggest producer for New Jersey this postseason. Though, depending on how your league scores, he may have managed to be a depth contributor. In Thursday's game, he finished with an assist, a plus-1 rating, three hits, two blocked shots, and a shot. Through 12 playoff games, he put up a pair of goals, four assists, a plus-2 rating, 15 PIM, 19 shots, a game-winning goal, one power-play point, and two short-handed points. He's no Leon Draisaitl, but McLeod provided depth value.
