McLeod scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod's goal gave the Devils a 4-1 lead in the first period. The 25-year-old forward has chipped in a little more offense lately with two goals and two assists over his last four games. He's up to 10 points, 42 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-2 rating through 23 appearances. McLeod is likely to remain in a bottom-six role as long as the Devils have their full complement of centers.

McLeod scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

He got the Devils on the board midway through the first period before helping to set up Curtis Lazar's game-winner in the third with just 23 seconds left on the clock. It's McLeod's first multi-point performance of the season, snapping a six-game point drought, and the 25-year-old is on track to top his prior career high of nine goals with four tallies and eight points through 20 contests in 2023-24.

McLeod recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod has two goals and an assist over four games in November. At least on offense, he's holding his own in a top-six role while filling in for Nico Hischier (upper body) and Jack Hughes (shoulder). McLeod began the year in a bottom-six spot, but the 25-year-old may be earning himself more responsibility with solid play. He's at five points, 20 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-1 rating through 12 outings.

McLeod found the back of the net in a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod is up to two goals and three points in nine outings this year. With those two markers, he's already halfway to his 2022-23 goal total, though he's still a ways away from the 26 points in 80 contests he recorded during that campaign. The 25-year-old is on New Jersey's second line while Nico Hischier's (upper body) unavailable, so McLeod does have some short-term fantasy value.

McLeod posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod snapped a three-game point drought with a secondary helper on Alexander Holtz's goal in the first period. Playing in a fourth-line role, McLeod's chances on offense are likely to remain limited. The 25-year-old center has two points, nine shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-1 rating through seven appearances this season.

McLeod scored his first goal of the season in Monday's 4-3 loss against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod was blanked in his first two games with just one shot on goal, but the Mississauga, Ont. native played well Monday, particularly in the third period. He managed just four goals and 26 points across 80 games last season, so don't expect many more lamp-lighters in 2023-24.

McLeod put pen to paper on a one-year, $1.4 million deal with New Jersey on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod set new personal bests in games played (80), assists (22) and points (26) last season. Selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the 25-year-old center figures to remain a bottom-six option for New Jersey for the upcoming campaign. Thus, McLeod is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

McLeod wasn't presented with a qualifying offer by the Devils, so he will become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod had four goals, 26 points, 43 PIM, 127 hits and 51 blocks in 80 contests with New Jersey last season. Retaining his exclusive negotiating rights would have required a one-year, $1 million qualifying offer from the Devils given that he completed his two-year, $1.95 million deal last year.

McLeod assisted on a Dawson Mercer goal in the first period en route to a 3-2 season-ending loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod wasn't the biggest producer for New Jersey this postseason. Though, depending on how your league scores, he may have managed to be a depth contributor. In Thursday's game, he finished with an assist, a plus-1 rating, three hits, two blocked shots, and a shot. Through 12 playoff games, he put up a pair of goals, four assists, a plus-2 rating, 15 PIM, 19 shots, a game-winning goal, one power-play point, and two short-handed points. He's no Leon Draisaitl, but McLeod provided depth value.

McLeod scored a shorthanded goal in Monday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McLeod opened the scoring midway through the first period, grabbing a pass from Ondrej Palat before dekeing around Igor Shesterkin, giving the Devils a 1-0 lead while shorthanded. It's the first goal and the second point of the postseason for McLeod while centering New Jersey's fourth line. He tallied four goals and added 22 assists in 80 regular-season contests.
