Jeff Malott News: Deposits first career goal

Malott scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

In his 15th career NHL game, Malott came away with his first career goal. After initially being credited to linemate Joel Armia, a scoring revision during the second intermission indicated that Malott got a touch on the puck at the net front. The 29-year-old Malott has started 2025-26 in a fourth-line role, though he's averaging just 6:27 of ice time while adding six hits and seven PIM over two games. Even if he stays in the lineup over Samuel Helenius, Malott offers little upside for fantasy.
