Graves scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Graves is up to five points after logging a goal and an assist in his last two contests. He's added 16 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-7 rating through 10 games overall. He'll continue to see more work while Dougie Hamilton (lower body) is sidelined.

Graves notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Graves contributed almost across the board while leading the Devils with 23:26 of ice time. The 26-year-old blueliner snapped his six-game point drought with a helper on Pavel Zacha's game-tying goal late in the third period. Graves has four assists, 14 shots on net, 21 blocks, 19 hits and a plus-5 rating through nine contests in a top-four role.

Graves dished out two helpers to go with three blocks, six hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

After playing more of a stay-at-home role in Colorado, Graves is getting more opportunities to jump up into the offense for New Jersey, and he has capitalized early with three helpers through two games. His two assists in this one came just 1:40 apart as the Devils raced out to a 2-0 first-period lead and held onto that lead throughout. Given his contributions in the defensive and physical metrics, Graves could be a fantasy force if his early offensive success persists.

Graves posted an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Graves set up Jack Hughes' game-winning goal in overtime. It was a solid debut for the defensive-minded Graves, who put up 15 points and a plus-15 rating in 54 appearances with the Avalanche last season. The 26-year-old was paired with free-agent signing Dougie Hamilton for the season opener, and that duo should remain the Devils' top defensive pairing for the season. Graves doesn't have a ton of scoring potential, but he'll rack up a large share of hits and blocked shots, which could help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Graves was traded from the Avalanche to the Devils in exchange for Mikhail Maltsev and a 2021 second-round draft pick Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche were going to have a tough time protecting all of the depth on their blue line. This deal allows them to get something in return for Graves instead of potentially losing him for nothing in the Seattle expansion draft. Graves had 15 points, 91 blocked shots, 77 hits and a plus-15 rating in 54 games as a steady two-way defenseman last season, though he may have to take on more of a defensive role in New Jersey.

Graves picked up an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Graves continues to find success in the playoffs, as he's picked up six points in as many outings. The sturdy defenseman has added a physical presence with 17 blocked shots, six hits and eight PIM in a second-pairing role. While he's better known for his defense, he's chipped in enough offense to be worth a look in DFS.

Graves posted an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Graves had the lone helper on the first of Nathan MacKinnon's two goals in the second period. After a difficult regular season, Graves has five points, 13 shots on net, eight PIM, a plus-10 rating and 17 blocked shots through five playoff contests. The non-scoring production should remain steady, but he shouldn't be expected to get on the scoresheet regularly.

Graves scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-4 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blues in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Graves was the center of the Avalanche's offense. He opened the scoring by outwaiting goalie Jordan Binnington early in the second period.

The 26-year-old Graves has four points, 11 blocked shots, nine shots on net, a plus-8 rating and six PIM through three postseason contests.

Graves set up Joonas Donskoi's opening tally just 35 seconds into the game. The assist snapped Graves' seven-game point drought dating back to May 5. He's already posted nine blocked shots, five shots on net and a plus-4 rating through two postseason contests. The 25-year-old will likely work in a top-four role as a defensive presence.

EDGE Analysis
