26-Year-Old CenterC
Montreal Canadiens
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A bottom-six agitator, Pezzetta had 242 hits last season despite the fact he appeared in just 61 games. The offensive production (three goals, 12 points) was predictably non-existent, but Pezzetta did provide a consistent physical element on Montreal's fourth line. The 26-year-old would likely be amongst the league leaders in hits if you could rely on him being in the lineup on a nightly basis, but that's far from a guarantee. As a result, Pezzetta is best served as a streamer for those in daily leagues looking to pick up a boatload of hits in short order. Read Past Outlooks

Set for training camp
CMontreal Canadiens
September 16, 2024
Pezzetta (upper body) is expected to be fully fit ahead of training camp, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Pezzetta suited up in 61 games for the Canadiens last season in which he tallied three goals and nine helpers while dishing out 242 hits and 29 blocked shots. Despite not playing in a full 82 games, the gritty center still finished in the top 10 in the NHL in hits. Given his limited offensive upside, Pezzetta won't be much of a target in most fantasy formats but could certainly offer some value in banger formats.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montreal's pletheora of injuries in 2022-23 allowed Pezzetta to rack up 15 points in 63 contests, numbers similar to his 11 points in 51 outings a year before. He's been just a fourth-line player over those two campaigns, and it's tough to expect a massive breakout at age 25 given his lack of a prominent role. If the Canadiens can stay relatively healthy as a team, Pezzetta may not even have a place in the lineup on a nightly basis. He will provide plenty of physicality after racking up 239 hits last season, and a two-year contract gives him some job security, but he's not an option for fantasy managers.

Likely scratch Wednesday
CMontreal Canadiens
November 29, 2023
Pezzetta is slated to be a healthy scratch Wednesday versus Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Pezzetta has a goal, three points, 14 PIM and 54 hits in 17 contests while averaging 7:48 of ice time this campaign. He was in the lineup for Montreal's past five games. Joel Armia is expected to draw into the lineup Wednesday as a member of the fourth line, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Pezzetta dress Thursday against Florida, possibly at Armia's expense.
