O'Brien recorded 17 PIM, three hits and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien fought Mark Borowiecki in the first period and then earned a roughing minor and a misconduct as things got heated in the third. The 27-year-old O'Brien adds next to nothing on offense -- he has just two points in 24 contests this season. The tough forward has added 74 PIM, 77 hits, 19 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-six role. Fantasy managers in most formats have little need to roster him.
