Paul recorded a power-play assist and two hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Paul was on the second line in the season opener, earning 17:34 of ice time. That is similar usage to what he's seen in previous campaigns. The 29-year-old forward had a career year in 2023-24, putting up 24 goals and 22 assists in 82 regular-season outings. He can record 100-plus hits while seeing time on the second power-play unit, making him a viable depth option in fantasy.
