McDonagh put up five blocks in a 3-1 win over the Capitals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh recently put up five points (one goal, four assists) on a five-game run earlier in February, but that's not the kind of value he brings to fantasy today. He has 115 blocks this season and is on pace for 160. He also leads the league with a plus-35 rating. McDonagh's game has evolved over time, but he continues to bring value to formats that use these secondary categories.

McDonagh picked up two assists Saturday in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

He also finished with a plus-4 rating. McDonagh is on a surprising three-game point streak, earning three assists and one goal. He won't deliver much in the way of secondary stats, but his plus-28 rating this season is fifth-best in the NHL, and he has 105 blocked shots.

McDonagh scored an empty-net goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh ended an 18-game goal drought, during which he had four assists. His empty-netter ended up being the game-winner Tuesday, as the Senators got one back following his freebie. The 35-year-old defenseman is now at two goals, 15 points, 50 shots on net, 102 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating across 52 appearances this season. McDonagh continues to handle top-four minutes, though mostly in a defensive capacity.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh exited Tuesday's game against the Bruins after taking a puck to the face, but he won't be forced to miss additional time due to the issue. Over eight appearances this month, he's logged four assists, 15 blocked shots, four hits and two PIM while averaging 20:15 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh ended up with 14:38 of ice time prior to his exit. The 35-year-old's status was not updated after the contest. If McDonagh can't play Thursday against the Ducks, the Lightning will likely need to make a roster move for a defenseman.

McDonagh logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh has four helpers over his last three contests. The 35-year-old defenseman typically doesn't produce offense that consistently -- this is his longest streak of the season and likely won't last much longer. Overall, he has 14 points, 43 shots on net, 82 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating while filling a top-four role as a shutdown defender.

McDonagh logged a pair of assists, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh helped out on second-period tallies by Anthony Cirelli (shorthanded) and Michael Eyssimont (even strength). The first assist was McDonagh's 400th career point, a mark he achieved in Game No. 967. He ended a five-game slump Thursday, though point production may remain sporadic for the stay-at-home defender. The 35-year-old has a goal, 11 helpers, two shorthanded points, 40 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 39 appearances this season. If McDonagh can stay healthy, he's projected to reach the 1,000-game mark late in the campaign.

McDonagh scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh's goal was his first of the season and his first shortie since the 2016-17 campaign. The 35-year-old blueliner snapped a seven-game point drought with the tally. He's been a defensive stalwart with a little supporting offense, earning 10 points, 33 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 33 appearances in 2024-25.

McDonagh notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Most of the offense came from the top line, but McDonagh was able to snag a secondary helper on Nikita Kucherov's second-period tally. With three assists over his last two games, McDonagh has started December well, though the burst of offense is likely to fizzle out just as quickly as it started. He's at nine helpers, 22 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 25 appearances, so his biggest source of fantasy value comes from his steady defensive work.

McDonagh picked up two assists in an 8-1 victory over the Sharks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He finished the game with a plus-3 rating and three blocks, and it was his first multi-point game of the season. McDonagh had gone without a point in six straight before Thursday, but he's not on this team to score. He's expected to stabilize the back end and shut down the top lines of opponents. McDonagh has no goals, eight assists and 47 blocks in 24 games this season. Barring injury, he'll hit the 1,000 games played plateau in the new year, but his fantasy impact is limited.
