2025 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing between the NHL and AHL in 2022-23 and 2023-24, Wotherspoon played exclusively with Boston last season, producing one goal, six assists, 75 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 55 games. The left-shot defenseman landed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Penguins in free agency, so he should continue to be an NHL regular in 2025-26. However, Pittsburgh has a logjam of players on the back end, so it remains to be seen exactly what type of role Wotherspoon will occupy in 2025-26. The 28-year-old could intermittently serve as a healthy scratch with his new club, so it’s probably best to look elsewhere for non-scoring production outside the deepest of formats.

Nets opening goal
Wotherspoon scored a goal, put two shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over Nashville.
ANALYSIS
Wotherspoon lit the lamp at 2:19 of the first period, which gave the Penguins the only goal they would need to secure Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden. Overall, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, seven points, 29 hits and 28 blocks through 19 appearances this season. Wotherspoon's first season with the Penguins is well above the pace he needs to set new career highs in many major stat categories. He has been a staple in a top-pairing role for Pittsburgh alongside Erik Karlsson, giving Wotherspoon the chance to find his name on the fantasy radar in certain formats this season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wotherspoon recorded eight assists, 31 PIM, 67 blocked shots and 84 hits across 41 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. If he plays regularly for the Bruins in the upcoming season, he might be a good source of hits and PIM, but there's a good chance he'll spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch. For that reason, you would need to be in an especially deep league to find value in him over alternative options at defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Projected healthy scratch Thursday
Wotherspoon remained on the ice after the morning skate, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, which suggests he might be scratched Thursday versus the Islanders if Derek Forbort, who has been dealing with a lower-body injury, is good to return.
ANALYSIS
Forbort is probable to play Thursday, but a determination isn't expected to come until the pregame warmups. Wotherspoon has an assist in three contests with Boston this season. He's also contributed an assist in six outings with AHL Providence in 2023-24.
