2024 Fantasy Outlook

Balinskis made his NHL debut last season with the Panthers, picking up a goal and two assists in 26 regular-season appearances. Balinskis started the season with the Panthers, playing in 18 of 29 games, before he was demoted to AHL Charlotte. He scored three times while adding 18 helpers in 37 contests with the Checkers before he was recalled to finish out the regular season. Balinskis is likely a sixth or seventh defenseman at best with the Panthers this season, and could see more AHL action to keep him sharp. He has little fantasy value in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

Scores in Monday's loss

DFlorida Panthers

January 14, 2025

Balinskis scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Flyers.

ANALYSIS
Balinskis has gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive contests for just the second time this season. His goal gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead in the first period. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, 10 assists, 52 shots, 34 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 41 appearances. Balinskis was out of the power-play mix for much of December, but he's back to seeing time on the second unit in the absence of Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed).
