Pearson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets have leaned heavily on the top six for offense during the team's recent struggles, but this was a positive game for the line of Pearson, Cole Koepke and Morgan Barron. The goal was Pearson's first since Nov. 15 in Calgary. The 33-year-old winger has filled a bottom-six role for much of the year, earning four goals, one helper, 21 shots on net, 29 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 25 appearances. His role and his lack offense will keep Pearson off most fantasy rosters.

Pearson scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson ended a 13-game point drought with his second-period tally. The 33-year-old winger's ice time has been trending down due to the recent returns for Cole Perfetti and Gustav Nyquist, which leaves Pearson in a fourth-line role without power-play time. For the season, Pearson has three goals, one helper, 16 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and 10 PIM over 18 appearances.

Pearson scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson has earned all three of his points this season over the last two games. He was moved up to the second line Thursday and saw a season-high 14:05 of ice time while replacing the healthy scratch Nikita Chibrikov in that role. Pearson has added six shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He'll have a little fantasy value in deeper formats as long as he's able to stay in the lineup, though a lack of power-play time gives him a low ceiling.

Pearson netted a goal, added an assist and blocked a shot in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson joined teammates Jonathan Toews, Gustav Nyquist and Cole Koepke (lower body) as the four skaters to tally their first points with Winnipeg. Pearson grabbed both of his points in the second period. He first provided the primary assist on Logan Stanley's goal before scoring one of his own just over 10 minutes later. The 33-year-old Pearson is coming off a 27-point effort in 78 regular-season games with the Golden Knights last year, which was his best offensive output since 2021-22. He is currently on Winnipeg's fourth line and his fluctuating ice time through the first three games makes him a name to leave off fantasy radars until Monday's performance becomes a more regular occurrence.

Pearson penned a one-year, $1 million contract with Winnipeg on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson will join fellow new signing Cole Koepke as free-agent additions for the Jets. For his part, the 32-year-old Pearson garnered 12 goals and 15 helpers in 78 regular-season games for the Golden Knights last year. If Winnipeg doesn't find a replacement for Nikolaj Ehlers, Pearson could be pressed into service as a second-line winger but would likely be better served in a third-line role.

Pearson notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson sat out the first three games of the series, but he's played the last two while Victor Olofsson sits. The helper was Pearson's third in his last eight games. The 32-year-old winger had 27 points, 109 shots on net, 96 hits and a plus-4 rating over 78 regular-season appearances and is better suited to a bottom-six role than Olofsson now that the Golden Knights are essentially at full health.

Pearson produced an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson has two helpers over his last four contests. The 32-year-old winger is stuck in a fourth-line role, but he remains in the lineup regularly. He's up to 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) while adding 105 shots on net, 93 hits and a plus-4 rating across 76 appearances. His ability to play a variety of roles should help Pearson stay in the lineup for the postseason.

Pearson produced an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson ended a five-game slump with his helper. The 32-year-old winger continues to see fourth-line minutes, but he's been in the lineup on a regular basis throughout the year. He's up to 26 points, 100 shots on net, 92 hits and a plus-4 rating across 73 appearances, and he may see a larger role if Vegas rests any key players prior to the playoffs.

Pearson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson could get back to being a regular for the Golden Knights while Tomas Hertl (shoulder) is out. Pearson was scratched Sunday versus the Lightning after a stretch in which he had just one assist over seven games. The 32-year-old winger has generally been an effective bottom-six forward this season, and he's played higher in the lineup when injuries arise. He's now at 12 goals, 25 points, 94 shots on net, 84 hits and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances.

Pearson notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Pearson had gone three games without a point. He's back on the fourth line after a brief foray onto the top line while Victor Olofsson was out due to a lower-body injury. Pearson has found modest success regardless of role this season, earning 24 points, 89 shots on net, 83 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 63 appearances. That's good work for a player that came to the Golden Knights' training camp on a tryout deal before inking a one-year contract at the league minimum.
