Grzelcyk notched two power-play assists and three blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk had been held off the scoresheet in his previous four games. That cold spell followed a stretch in which he racked up 10 points over 12 outings. The 31-year-old blueliner is up to one goal, 23 helpers, 10 power-play points, 55 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 47 appearances. As long as he continues to be involved on the power play, he should have decent fantasy value. He's three points away from setting a new career high.

Grzelcyk notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has four helpers over his last five games, though just one of those assists has come on the power play. The Penguins' defense is back to full health following Kris Letang's return Sunday, so Grzelcyk will need to be sharp at both ends of the ice to maintain his second-pairing role. For the season, the 31-year-old blueliner has 21 points, 52 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 41 contests.

Grzelcyk logged an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has a goal and nine assists over his last 12 outings, but he's also gone plus-2 with 17 shots on net and 11 blocked shots in that span. The 30-year-old's numbers have improved alongside the Penguins' better play in December, but both player and team are prone to the occasional lapse. The blueliner has 18 points, 46 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-10 rating through 37 appearances, and he remains on track for a career year.

Grzelcyk scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk tallied in the third period to force overtime. The 30-year-old defenseman's offense has been humming lately -- he has a goal and seven assists over his last eight games. Grzelcyk's defensive play can make him a lightning rod for criticism, but he's emerged as the Penguins' No. 3 defenseman behind Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. Grzelcyk has 16 points, 45 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 33 appearances.

Grzelyck recorded two assists, one on the power play, and two blocked shots in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelyck was involved Richard Rakell's power-play tally in the first period which tied the game at 1-1. It was the defenseman's career-high eighth power-play point of the season. He later had a hand in Matt Nieto's tally in the third period to give the Penguins an 8-2 lead. Grzelyck has six helpers (four on the power play) over the last six outings and is up to 14 for the season.

Grzelcyk notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has four helpers over his last four games, and three of them have come on the power play. The 30-year-old defenseman has played on the Penguins' second unit throughout the campaign, earning six of his 12 assists this season on the power play. He's one point shy of matching his career high in production with the man advantage, and he's already surpassed his point total from 63 regular-season games in 2023-24. The blueliner has added 34 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating, so his fantasy value will depend on which categories you need help in.

Grzelcyk notched two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk had four assists over 14 outings in November, and all of them came on the power play. He saw 4:14 on the power play Saturday, but he's often been in a lesser role since the Penguins can trot out the duo of Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. Grzelcyk's defense has been a concern, but he has 10 helpers, 31 shots on net and 39 blocked shots to partially offset an ugly minus-13 rating. His career highs are 26 in points and seven in power-play points, and he could eclipse both marks in 2024-25 if he stays healthy.

Grzelcyk logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The helper snapped a six-game point drought for Grzelcyk, but that was about the only positive from his performance. His two points over nine outings in November have both been power-play assist. The 30-year-old defenseman is at eight assists, 23 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 21 contests overall. Grzelcyk's poor defensive play is part of a larger problem in Pittsburgh, and it's likely only because of his teammates' struggles that he hasn't sat out a game yet.

Grzelcyk logged a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk is humming along with five helpers over his last seven contests in a top-four role on the Penguins' blue line. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to seven assists, 18 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-7 rating over 14 contests, and two of his helpers have come on the power play. He's never reached the 30-point mark in a single season, but he could challenge for that level if he's able to stay healthy in 2024-25, something that has often been a problem for Grzelcyk over his first seven full campaigns.

Grzelcyk recorded an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Grzelcyk has two assists over his last three games, though that's unlikely to lead to an extended run of offense. The 30-year-old defenseman can chip in occasionally, but he plays more of a shutdown role. Grzelcyk's at four helpers, 16 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, seven hits and a minus-6 rating through 10 appearances this season.
