Addison registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Addison helped out on Joel Eriksson Ek's tally in the third period. The 22-year-old Addison has two goals and six power-play helpers over his last 13 contests, though he's been limited to third-pairing minutes at even strength. The young defenseman has 16 points (12 on the power play), 38 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 31 contests -- he's got some room to grow defensively, but his offense is enough to earn attention in fantasy.

Addison logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Addison was scratched Friday, with head coach Dean Evason calling out the 22-year-old for his defensive work. Addison ultimately wasn't asked to do much with 14:07 of ice time Saturday, but he was able to make a positive impact on offense while helping Filip Gustavsson to earn his first shutout. As long as he stays out of the press box, Addison has appeal as a depth defenseman in fantasy. He's earned two goals, 13 assists (11 on the power play), 31 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 26 appearances.

Addison will be a healthy scratch Friday against the Oilers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Dean Evason believes scratching Addison should serve as a wake-up call for the young blueliner -- he also told reporters Addison "needs to defend better." Addison's gotten off to a nice start, at least offensively, with two goals and 14 points through 25 games this season, so don't expect him to be out of the lineup for long.

Addison scored a goal and was credited with an assist during Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the visiting Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Addison, who scored his second goal in five games Saturday, is shaking off a tough 14-game stretch. The 22-year-old defenseman recorded just two assists from Oct. 22 to Nov. 19. Over his past five games, however, Addison has collected five points and a plus-3 rating. Addison, who added two shots Saturday, was credited with the game-opening marker after his one-timer from the blue line was inadvertently deflected by Ducks left winger Max Jones.

Addison notched a goal on three shots along with one helper in the Wild's 6-1 blowout victory against the Jets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Addison earned his first goal of the season early into the second period on a wrist shot assisted by Jon Merrill and Matt Boldy. The 22-year-old defenseman also has nine helpers through 19 contests this season and is proving to be quite the facilitator as he gets his bearings in his 37 career games.

Addison posted a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Addison snapped a five-game point drought with the helper on Kirill Kaprizov's first of two goals in the game. Through 13 games, Addison has eight assists, six of which have come with the man advantage. While his offense is solid, he's still finding his way on defense at the NHL level. He has a minus-9 rating, 11 blocked shots and six PIM, and he's been dropped to the third pairing at even strength.

Addison picked up two assists in 16:04 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Addison has gotten off to a great start this season, having racked up six helpers, four with the man advantage, through the first four games of the campaign. The 22-year-old rookie should continue to quarterback Minnesota's No. 1 power-play unit, making him an appealing option in all fantasy formats.

Addison notched three assists, including two on the power play, fired five shots on goal and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Addison was involved in each of the Wild's goals, earning primary assists on each tally. Through three contests, the 22-year-old blueliner has four helpers, including three on the power play. He's added five shots and a blocked shot, but his minus-5 rating is a sign of the Wild's problems on defense as a team. Nonetheless, Addison's productivity with the power play is an encouraging sign for the defenseman as he looks to stick in the NHL all year.

Addison made the Wild's opening roster, Sarah McLellan of the StarTribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison had two goals and four points in 15 games with Minnesota in 2021-22, but spent most of the season in the AHL where he scored seven goals and 34 points in 43 contests. The 22 year old defenseman is skilled with the puck and projected to get power-play ice time in the Wild's opening game against the Rangers on Thursday. We'll have to see how things change once Jon Merrill is healthy, but there's an opportunity here for Addison to stick with the Wild if he comes out of the gate strong.
