Grzelcyk notched an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Grzelcyk helped out on a Rickard Rakell tally in the third period. Through eight contests, Grzelcyk has maintained a top-four role while earning three assists, 14 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-3 rating. He's topped the 25-point mark just once in his career, so the 30-year-old defenseman is unlikely to score enough to help most fantasy managers, and he rarely makes up for it with non-scoring production.

Grzelcyk (lower body) is expected to play Saturday versus the Canucks, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
