2025 Fantasy Outlook
Following a season in which Joseph scored 11 goals and had 35 points, he notched just four goals and 14 points in his first campaign with the Blues. The 28-year-old played 60 games in the regular season, but he averaged just 11:54 of ice time, down from 16:28 in 2023-24, which helps explain his offensive decline. His use was even worse in the playoffs, as he was scratched in four of St. Louis' seven postseason games. Joseph is projected to start the upcoming campaign on the fourth line, so don't expect this to be a bounce-back campaign for him. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $11.8 million contract with the Senators in July of 2022.
Shifts to IR
Joseph (elbow) was moved to injured reserve on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
With Nick Bjugstad (upper body) activated ahead of his return to the lineup, Joseph was placed on IR in the corresponding move. Prior to landing on injured reserve, the 28-year-old Joseph missed each of the team's last three games due to the elbow infection. He has two goals, 10 points, 28 shots on net, 74 hits and 25 blocks across 35 games this season. Assuming the Blues used a retroactive designation for Joseph, he would technically be eligible to return Friday against the Lightning.

2018
Joseph generated 11 goals and a career-high 35 points in 72 contests for Ottawa last season. He also set a new personal best with 124 shots on net and was credited with 105 hits. Joseph got off to a great start, collecting five tallies and 11 assists in his first 19 outings, but concluded the campaign with one goal and five helpers in 27 games. He spent most of his playing time alongside Tim Stutzle and Claude Giroux. However, the 27-year-old Joseph will have different linemates and a role further down the depth chart after being dealt to St. Louis in a cost-cutting move. He will likely be a bottom-six forward in 2024-25 but could be worth monitoring for a waiver pickup if he gets a chance to play higher in the lineup.
