Viel scored a goal in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Viel has played just three games with the Ducks but is already making his presence felt after scoring in back-to-back games. That said, his fantasy upside will remain fairly low as long as he continues to play in a bottom-six role.

Viel scored a goal on three shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Viel was dealt to Anaheim from Boston on Friday, and it took him just two games with his new team to find the scoresheet. That goal was his first NHL point since 2021-22 with the Sharks. Viel will help replenish the Ducks' forward depth while the team navigates a rough patch of injuries, but he has minimal fantasy upside.

Viel was traded to the Ducks from the Bruins on Friday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2026.

EDGE Analysis

Viel saw limited time with Boston this season, averaging 9:30 of ice time in 10 games. Viel was a healthy scratch on 38 occasions in 2025-26 and failed to garner a point with the Bruins, though he managed 27 hits and 30 PIM. He'll likely have a similar role with Anaheim, seeing fourth-line minutes at times.

Viel was scratched for the 17th time in the last 20 games when he sat out Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Viel has seen bottom-six minutes when he plays, but he's been in the lineup just once in December. The 28-year-old winger has failed to record a point over 10 outings this season, earning 11 shots on net, 27 hits and 30 PIM. If the Bruins want to mix up their roster, Viel could be a candidate to land on waivers to clear a spot for a call-up from AHL Providence.

Viel has played in four straight games for the Bruins after suiting up in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

On the year, Viel has appeared in seven of the Bruins' 20 games, logging five shots on net, 24 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-2 rating. He'll likely get a look in the lineup while the team is missing all of Viktor Arvidsson (lower body), John Beecher (upper body), Elias Lindholm (lower body) and Casey Mittelstadt (lower body). Don't be surprised to see Viel head back to the press box once the Bruins near full health up front.

Viel was reassigned to AHL Providence on Saturday, according to Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.com.

EDGE Analysis

Viel was recalled Monday and saw 7:31 of action versus Washington on Tuesday before becoming a healthy scratch in Montreal on Thursday. Viel has yet to hit the scoresheet in five NHL games this season. He had 12 goals and 22 assists across 62 AHL appearances before his recall. The Bruins recalled Fraser Minten on an emergency basis in a corresponding move.

Viel was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Viel figures to suit up in Tuesday's matchup with the Capitals, which would be his first NHL game since March 4 versus the Predators -- though a healthy Mark Kastelic (upper body) could steal Viel's spot in the lineup. With the Bruins likely to miss the postseason, Viel could see some minutes at the NHL level down the stretch.

Viel was sent to AHL Providence on Wednesday, according to Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Viel has no points, nine PIM and 11 hits across four appearances with Boston in 2024-25. He's also appeared in 51 games with Providence this season, recording eight goals, 26 points and 130 PIM.

Viel was on the ice with the Bruins ahead of Tuesday's clash with Nashville, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Viel remains up with the NHL club, indicating he was recalled from his paper transaction to the minors Monday. In his three games this year, he has yet to pick up a point while recording three shots, six hits and nine PIM while averaging just 7:18 of ice time.

Viel was reassigned to AHL Providence on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Viel hasn't earned a point in three NHL outings this season while posting three shots on goal, six hits and one blocked shot. With Trent Frederic (lower body) unavailable and Brad Marchand (upper body) day-to-day, Viel could return to the NHL ranks ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Nashville.
