Valimaki was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Kings.

Valimaki has no points in eight games so far, and he's seen his ice time drop from 22:30 to 17:43 over his last four games. He's minus-7 in that span. Valimaki had seemingly turned around his queasy defensive play last season, but he's struggled out of the gate. The view from the press box will give him a different perspective on what he needs to do when he returns to the lineup. Valimaki has a 34-point season under his belt from 2022-23, but he must step up significantly to make a fantasy impact this year.
