McLeod scored a goal on four shots, levied five hits and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod tallied at 19:11 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 23-year-old has two goals and two helpers in his last six outings. He's mainly played in a bottom-six role this year, but his recent uptick in offense has earned him more playing time. The Ontario native has eight points, 38 shots on net, 64 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 29 appearances overall.

McLeod scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod sealed the Devils' victory, not that the insurance was needed. It's a positive sign for the 23-year-old, as it was his first goal of the year and could get him going on offense. McLeod has five points, 32 shots, 47 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 24 contests overall.

McLeod recorded an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Wild. He also won 14 of 19 faceoffs.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod helped out on a Ryan Graves goal in the second period. The 23-year-old McLeod also had a good game at the dot, and he's now won 60.3 percent of his faceoffs this season. That strong work should keep him in the lineup fairly regularly, though he's added just four helpers, 27 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-6 rating in 21 contests this year.

McLeod notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod helped out on Nathan Bastian's tally in the third period. The 23-year-old McLeod snapped an eight-game point drought with the assist, his third of the year. The center has yet to score a goal in 19 contests, adding 24 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-3 rating in a bottom-six role. His lack of offense could see him end up as a healthy scratch once Jack Hughes (shoulder) is cleared to return.

McLeod logged an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
McLeod helped out on Ryan Graves' goal in the second period. It's been a poor start to the season for McLeod, who has just two helpers, a minus-3 rating and 15 shots on net in 10 contests. He's added 15 hits and nine PIM to provide some grit, but the slow scoring pace has seen him play lower in the lineup, which limits his appeal in fantasy.

McLeod posted a minus-1 rating over 16:31 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
New Jersey's first-round selection in 2016 solidified his role in the NHL with nine goals and six assists over 52 games last season, but he posted a minus-12 rating on a Devils team that languished near the bottom of the standings. New Jersey's hoping to be more competitive this year, but the jury's still out on whether that will be the case. The bottom-six center's off to a slow start, with just one helper and a minus-4 rating through seven games.
