Ryan Graves - No scoring yet Graves has failed to record a point in the Penguins' first 13 games of the season.
Impact Graves used to be good for 25 points a year, but he's struggled on offense since arriving in Pittsburgh. His defense hasn't been all that good in 2024-25 either, but that could be said about most of the Penguins' blueliners. Graves has accumulated 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 18 blocked shots, seven PIM and a minus-3 rating while seeing third-pairing minutes to begin this season, so he's not an option in most fantasy formats.

Lars Eller - Garners helper in win Eller logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Eller snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Blake Lizotte's empty-net tally. The 35-year-old Eller had a four-game point streak prior to his slump, so it appears his offense could be a bit streaky. Since Evgeni Malkin was put on Sidney Crosby's line, Eller has received a boost in ice time as the second-line center. He's up to seven points, 26 shots on net, 16 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Alex Nedeljkovic - Wins second consecutive Nedeljkovic stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Montreal.
Impact Nedeljkovic earned a second consecutive win, allowing two goals on 50 shots in victories over the Ducks and Canadiens. While the two opponents aren't exactly offensive powerhouses, Pittsburgh's goaltending has been its weakest area early on, and the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic offers a glimmer of hope. He's currently the club's No. 1 goalie while Tristan Jarry sorts himself on a conditioning assignment at AHL Wilkes-Barre. Next up for the Pens is a three-game road trip that kicks off Tuesday against the Islanders.
