Edmundson had one shot on goal in 19:03 of ice time Saturday in a 3-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
He arrived in trade from Washington on Thursday. Edmundson doesn't offer much fantasy value. He arrived in Toronto with one goal, five assists, 19 PIM, 59 hits, 49 blocks and 41 shots. He's a classic better-on-the-ice guy.

The Maple Leafs acquired Edmundson from the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson had played in 44 games with the Capitals this season, recording one goal and five assists. The 30-year-old will look to bring some physicality to Toronto, as he's logged 59 hits and 49 blocked shots this season. He will likely slide into the third defensive pairing for the Leafs.

Edmundson tallied an assist, three shots and three hits during Friday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson has three helpers in his last seven games, which should boost his asking price if the Capitals become sellers before March 8 trade deadline. The 30-year-old is an effective stay-at-home defender who could be very helpful for teams with Stanley Cup aspirations. Edmundson has six points, 49 blocked shots and 58 hits in 43 games this season.

Edmundson tallied an assist and dished out four hits during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson has two helpers in his last three outings after failing to find the scoresheet in his previous 11 games. The offense isn't likely to last, but it can only help boost the 30-year-old's appeal to other teams looking to add a stay-at-home defenseman should the Capitals emerge as sellers before the March 8 trade deadline.

EDGE Analysis

Edmundson (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's contest against St. Louis, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson was regarded as a game-time decision but ultimately didn't join the Capitals for the pregame warmups. He has a goal, three points, 23 hits and 32 blocks in 27 outings in 2023-24. With Edmundson unavailable, Trevor van Riemsdyk is likely to draw into the lineup Thursday.

Edmundson (undisclosed) is uncertain to play Thursday against the Blues, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson took the morning skate, but he is considered a game-time call against his former team. Trevor van Riemsdyk seems likely to return to the lineup regardless, but Alexander Alexeyev would also draw in if the 30-year-old is unable to play.

Edmundson tallied an assist while logging 10:58 of ice time during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Edmundson's helper on T.J. Oshie's game-winning goal snapped a nine-game scoring drought. The 30-year-old Edmundson has been getting regular ice time since his recovery from a hand injury sustained during the preseason, but with just two points and a minus-4 rating in 24 appearances, he isn't much of a fantasy asset.

Edmundson recorded an assist and a plus-3 rating during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
The assist marks the first point for Edmundson -- who missed the first 14 games of the season recovering from a broken hand -- in 11 games with the Capitals. The 30-year-old plays a simple, steady game on the back end, but he is not enough of an offensive contributor to garner much fantasy consideration.
