Teddy Blueger

Teddy Blueger tallied three assists in the Penguins' 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Fantasy Impact

Blueger has now recorded points in two of six games since making his season debut November 15, picking up four assists in that span. The 28-year-old is more of a defensive forward as part of Pittsburgh's bottom six that should not be rostered unless the Penguins are somehow ravaged by injuries at some point.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Teddy Blueger is unavailable for Thursday's season opener with an upper-body injury.

Fantasy Impact

Blueger suffered the injury during a training camp practice and will miss Thursday's season opener as a result. More valuable to the Penguins than fantasy owners, Blueger posted nine goals and 28 points across 65 games last season and figures to fill a bottom-six role this season.

After leaving Wednesday's practice early, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan reported Teddy Blueger is being evaluated for an upper-body injury.

Fantasy Impact

While the severity of the ailment is yet to be determined, the Penguins would loathe a season-opening injury to their swiss-army knife forward. However, Blueger's fantasy impact is limited in a bottom-six role with the Penguins on the heels of a nine-goal, 28-point campaign across 65 contests.

Teddy Blueger collected his sixth goal of the season early in the second period, but it would be the last goal for the Penguins in their 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact

Blueger remains on the fourth line and contributes a point or two every few games. He has 36 hits and 16 blocked shots so far this season, but he does not have much fantasy value right now.

Blueger notched the final goal in the 5-2 victory on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Although he has a three-game streak going, and got over 17 minutes of ice time, the third-line center is not worth a lot with 22 points in 58 games (+7).
