Date News Advice
Nov. 5, 2025 Brazeau (upper body) will miss at least the next four weeks, the team announced Wednesday. - Brazeau has already missed the last two games because of the injury. The 27-year-old was off to a great start with six goals and 12 points through 12 games. It helped that he was playing alongside Evgeni Malkin, who was on the scoresheet for nine of Brazeau's 12 points. Philip Tomasino and Thomas Novak could get more opportunities to skate alongside Malkin due to Brazeau's absence. None
Nov. 4, 2025 Brazeau (upper body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday. - Brazeau will miss his third straight game against Washington on Thursday, and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 12 points, 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 17 hits through 12 appearances this season. Due to Brazeu's absence, Philip Tomasino has been skating on Pittsburgh's second line. None
Nov. 3, 2025 Brazeau (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Maple Leafs, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Brazeau remains day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday against Washington, but Philip Tomasino will likely remain in the lineup Monday. None
Nov. 1, 2025 Brazeau (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's game in Winnipeg, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Brazeau has been outstanding on the second line for the Penguins this season, alongside Evgeni Malkin and Anthony Mantha. Brazeau has six goals and 12 points in 12 appearances this season. He could return in time to play Monday in Toronto. Philip Tomasino will draw into the lineup for Brazeau. None
Oct. 28, 2025 Brazeau picked up two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blues. - The 27-year-old winger remains on track for a breakout campaign while skating on the Penguins' second line alongside a rejuvenated Evgeni Malkin. Brazeau has as many multi-point performances so far in 2025-26 as he does goose eggs (three of each). Through 10 games, he's piled up five goals and 11 points -- halfway to his point total over 76 regular-season games from last year. None
Oct. 22, 2025 Brazeau scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks. - The 27-year-old is having an incredible start to his first season with Pittsburgh after signing a modest two-year, $3 million contract with the team this offseason. Brazeau has five goals and eight points through seven games, and his efforts have been rewarded with time in the top six at even strength and now a spot on the second power-play unit -- Tuesday's PP points were his first of the campaign. Regression is inevitable considering his bloated 35.7 percent shooting, however. None
Oct. 14, 2025 Brazeau scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. - Brazeau has four goals over four games to begin 2025-26. It's arguably one of the most surprising happenings in the league early in the campaign, though Brazeau's strong play has earned him a look alongside Evgeni Malkin on the second line. Brazeau has added 10 shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 27-year-old has typically featured in a bottom-six role in his previous NHL stops in Minnesota and Boston, so he should have no trouble handling business in his own zone. None
Oct. 10, 2025 Brazeau scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Islanders. - After tickling twine twice in Tuesday's season opener, Brazeau stayed locked in Thursday, taking a cross-ice feed from Evgeni Malkin late in the third period and beating Ilya Sorokin with a slick move to his backhand to snap a 3-3 tie. Brazeau managed just 11 goals and 22 points over 76 regular-season games split between the Bruins and Wild in his first full NHL campaign in 2024-25, but he's shown a remarkable knack for clutch play already -- he had the GWG in both Penguins victories to begin the current campaign, and six of his 19 NHL goals so far have been game-winners. The 27-year-old posted big offensive numbers in the OHL and ECHL earlier in his career and produced 18 goals and 37 points in 49 games for AHL Providence in 2023-24, and Brazeau could surprise if given the opportunity in Pittsburgh. None
Oct. 7, 2025 Brazeau scored two goals, including an empty-netter, in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers. - Brazeau broke the deadlock for the Penguins with a backhand in the final seconds of the first period to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead. The 27-year-old doubled the team's lead in the third period with an empty-netter at the 17:48 mark. Brazeau played in 76 regular-season games for the Bruins and Wild last season, tallying 11 goals and 11 assists. He signed a two-year deal with the Penguins in the offseason. None
July 1, 2025 Brazeau agreed to terms on a two-year, $3 million contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports. - Brazeau played in 76 regular-season games for the Bruins and Wild last season, tallying 11 goals and 11 assists along the way. The Penguins will likely give their prospects plenty of opportunities this upcoming season, so the 27-year-old Brazeau won't be a lock to suit up on a nightly basis and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically. None
April 24, 2025 Brazeau notched an assist and eight hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 3. - Brazeau helped out on a Marco Rossi goal in the first period as the Wild got a rare contribution from players that aren't on the first line. The 27-year-old Brazeau has just the one assist to go with one shot on goal, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating over three playoff outings. He shouldn't have trouble staying in the lineup, but he is unlikely to generate much offense from the fourth line. None
April 12, 2025 Brazeau notched an assist and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks. - Brazeau's tenure with the Wild has gotten off to a poor start, as he has just two points over 18 outings since he was traded from the Bruins. The 27-year-old winger is at 22 points, 89 shots on net, 121 hits and a minus-8 rating through 75 appearances this season. Brazeau was scratched Friday versus the Flames, and it looks like he'll have to compete with Vinnie Hinostroza for playing time should the Wild make the postseason. None
March 22, 2025 Brazeau scored a goal in a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Saturday. - His first goal as a member of the Wild in his eighth appearance was the game-winner. Brazeau stuffed in a loose puck in front in the second period. Minnesota acquired him in a trade with the Bruins on March 6. He's averaging just 8:28 in ice time, so his fantasy value is limited. None
March 6, 2025 Brazeau was traded to the Wild from the Bruins on Thursday in exchange for Jakub Lauko, Marat Khusnutdinov and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick. - Brazeau is a 27-year-old forward who just made his NHL debut last season. Over 76 appearances with the Bruins, he's earned 27 points and 132 hits, offering a bit of grit and a willingness to go to the tough areas of the ice to make noise. Brazeau likely figures to be a bottom-six forward for the Wild, though his scoring output and ice time are unlikely to change much from one team to another. None
March 3, 2025 Brazeau's goal drought reached 16 games in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Wild. - Brazeau has two assists in that span while seeing bottom-six minutes -- he's averaging 10:57 of ice time during the goal drought. The 27-year-old has been scratched for three of the Bruins' last six contests, which suggests his lack of production has been noticed. Overall, the 27-year-old has 20 points, 76 shots on net, 86 hits and a minus-6 rating through 56 appearances. None
Jan. 19, 2025 Brazeau notched an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators. - Brazeau continues to offer a bit of depth scoring in a bottom-six role. He has four goals and two assists over his last 12 appearances, adding 16 shots on net, 12 PIM and 23 hits in that span. The 26-year-old is up to 20 points, 65 shots, 73 hits and a minus-3 rating through 45 appearances. Brazeau's fantasy value is evident in deeper formats where a little physicality is rewarded. None
Jan. 6, 2025 Brazeau scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders. He also took two shots on goal and recorded three hits. - Brazeau found the back of the net midway through the second period, and the 26-year-old winger extended his solid run of play in recent weeks. He's scored four goals over his last seven outings, with one of those tallies coming on the power play. He's up to 10 goals and 18 points across 40 games so far, surpassing the numbers he posted last season by a wide margin. None
Dec. 31, 2024 Brazeau scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. - Brazeau buried a lucky bounce, but it was the only one of the Bruins' 27 shots that got past Logan Thompson. The 26-year-old Brazeau closed out 2024 on a high note with three goals over his last four games. The 26-year-old winger has nine tallies, 17 points, 55 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-5 rating through 37 appearances this season. Brazeau offers decent depth scoring and physicality from a third-line role. None
Dec. 28, 2024 Brazeau scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets. - Brazeau set the tone early with a goal at 2:29 of the first period. He's scored in two of the last three contests, which follows a stretch in which he went six games without a point.

None
Dec. 24, 2024 Brazeau netted a power-play goal and dished out two hits during Monday's 4-1 win over the Capitals. - Brazeau cashed in on a loose puck in the final minute of the first period to set the Bruins on the path to victory. The 26-year-old continues to build on a career-year with seven goals and 15 points in 34 games in his sophomore season but has yet to establish the kind of consistency that fantasy managers look for with only one point and a minus-4 rating in his last games. None
Dec. 5, 2024 Brazeau notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. - The Bruins have won five of their last seven games, and Brazeau has contributed five points in that span. The 26-year-old set up both of Morgan Geekie's tallies in this contest. Brazeau is up to six goals, seven helpers, 44 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-3 rating over 26 outings. He's made improvements from last year, and due to the Bruins' depth issues, he's played his way into a middle-six role. None
Dec. 4, 2024 Brazeau scored a power-play goal on five shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings. - Brazeau tied the game at 2-2 midway through the third period. He has three power-play points over his last eight contests, though he has just four points overall in that span. The 26-year-old forward is up to six goals, 11 points (four on the power play), 42 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-3 rating through 25 outings. He's filling a middle-six role. None
Nov. 23, 2024 Brazeau scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings. - Brazeau netted his fifth goal of the season Saturday when he deflected a show midway through the first period when the Bruins had the man advantage.

Nov. 10, 2024 Brazeau notched an assist and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators. - Brazeau helped out on a Brad Marchand tally in the second period. The 26-year-old Brazeau is a bit of an interesting case for fantasy, as he's not an established scorer. He's at six points, 18 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-3 rating over 14 outings this season, including three points in his last five games. He's currently on the second line and second power-play unit, which may give him some streaming appeal in favorable matchups. None
Nov. 3, 2024 Brazeau scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Flyers. - Brazeau has steadied his spot in the lineup with three goals and 11 shots on net over his last five games. He was a scratch in two of three contests just before heating up. The 26-year-old is at four points, 13 shots, 14 hits and a minus-4 rating through 10 outings this season. As long as he can chip in offense and a little physicality, he should be able to hold onto a middle-six role for a struggling team. None
Oct. 27, 2024 Brazeau scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs. - Brazeau has scored in back-to-back games. The 26-year-old clearly doesn't want to be a healthy scratch again -- he was in the press box for two of the previous three games before his recent show of offense.

Brazeau will likely be limited to bottom-six minutes, where he can chip in depth scoring, hits and a little power-play production. None

On the season, the 26-year-old winger has two points in six appearances with five hits and a minus-3 rating. None
May 6, 2024 Brazeau scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1. - Brazeau has points in back-to-back games while adding 17 hits, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating.

He sat out the final six games of the regular season and Boston's first four playoff outings. Brazeau had five goals, seven points, 31 shots on net and 43 hits in 19 NHL appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. If he does draw into the lineup for Game 5, the 26-year-old forward will probably occupy a bottom-six role. None
April 22, 2024 Brazeau (upper body) will not be available until after the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports Monday. - Brazeau has already missed seven straight contests due to his upper-body injury. Once given the all-clear, Brazeau should challenge John Beecher for a spot in the lineup, though James van Riemsdyk figures to also be in the mix for minutes.

April 2, 2024 Brazeau (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Predators. - Brazeau was injured in the first period, and it's enough to end his participation in the game. The 26-year-old has handled a fourth-line role well with five goals and two assists over 18 contests. Jakub Lauko would likely get into the lineup if Brazeau can't play Thursday versus the Hurricanes. None
March 23, 2024 Brazeau scored his fifth goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers. - That's now the third straight game with a goal for Brazeau, who got Boston on the board midway through the third period with a nifty move to his backhand around Samuel Ersson.

Brazeau has worked his way onto the Bruins' second power-play unit and has flashed some skill in the AHL with 34 goals and 82 points in 116 games for Providence over the last two seasons, but a bottom-six assignment at even strength limits his fantasy potential, and through his first 13 NHL contests he's managed just three goals and four points. None
March 8, 2024 Brazeau was sent down to the AHL on Friday, per PuckPedia. - Brazeau has played eight games with the Bruins this year, logging one goal and one assist.

2025-11-05 injury_note Brazeau (upper body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday. Brazeau (upper body) will miss at least the next four weeks, the team announced Wednesday.
2025-11-05 analysis Brazeau will miss his third straight game against Washington on Thursday, and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 12 points, 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 17 hits through 12 appearances this season. Due to Brazeu's absence, Philip Tomasino has been skating on Pittsburgh's second line. Brazeau has already missed the last two games because of the injury. The 27-year-old was off to a great start with six goals and 12 points through 12 games.
