Pearson scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson has earned all three of his points this season over the last two games. He was moved up to the second line Thursday and saw a season-high 14:05 of ice time while replacing the healthy scratch Nikita Chibrikov in that role. Pearson has added six shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He'll have a little fantasy value in deeper formats as long as he's able to stay in the lineup, though a lack of power-play time gives him a low ceiling.
