Next Game
Marcus Pettersson was able to find the back of the net for the Penguins Tuesday night, scoring one goal in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Pettersson has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone of late, picking up points in two of his last six games (one goal, one assist) for the Penguins. The defenseman continues to make more of an impact defensively for the Pittsburgh blueline group, tallying 11 points (two goals, nine assists) while also racking up 32 hits and 52 blocked shots in 27 games so far this season.
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson recorded an assist in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Pettersson's first-period assist helped stake the Pens to a 3-0 lead in an eventual 6-1 beatdown of the visiting Kings. He also recorded four blocks, a hit, and a plus-two rating on the night. He has three points in four games this season -- all assists -- but is known for his defense with just 19 points across 72 games a season ago.
Pettersson's second period goal made it 2-1 as his team won 4-2 on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
This was the defenseman's second goal in a pretty average season, 22 points in 66 games (+8).
Pettersson helped Jason Zucker in the second and third periods of the 3-2 loss to Anaheim.
Fantasy Impact
With 21 points in 63 games (+10), the defenseman is not the best fantasy option.
Pettersson helped Sidney Crosby in the second period of the 5-3 loss to Washington.
Fantasy Impact
With 19 points in 61 games (+8), there is not much to look at for fantasy in this defenseman.
