Nikita Zadorov - NHL News & Rumors

Sends helper in win Zadorov logged an assist, four hits, three blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Zadorov has two helpers, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and 13 PIM over his last five contests. The 29-year-old defenseman is poised to take on a larger role while Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) is on injured reserve, though Zadorov's physicality and subsequent penalties for roughing and fighting cost him some time in this contest. He has 11 points, 56 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 89 PIM and 128 hits through 46 appearances this season, so he'll need to supplement his non-scoring numbers with a little more offense to have widespread fantasy appeal.

Adds assist Sunday Zadorov recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Impact Zadorov has contributed a meager three points over 17 games since the start of December. The 29-year-old's primary duty isn't to score, but he is playing in a top-four role that should lead to at least some opportunities on offense. For the season, he has two goals, eight helpers, 52 shots on net, 108 hits, 76 PIM, 45 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 42 appearances, so he remains a strong source of non-scoring production.
