  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Goligoski posted an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sharks. Goligoski has been in the lineup for four of the Wild's last six games after sitting out all but one game in February and March combined. The 38-year-old defenseman is up to 10 helpers, 30 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-8 rating through 34 appearances this season. Goligoski's limited role gives him virtually no fantasy appeal this late in the campaign.

  01/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Goligoski posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flyers. Goligoski has two helpers over his last four games. The 38-year-old hasn't always had steady playing time this season, but he's gotten some recently with Jonas Brodin (upper body) and Jared Spurgeon (lower body) sidelined. Goligoski is at seven assists, 19 shots on net, 17 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 23 appearances, which is already stronger production than the six points he managed in 46 outings a year ago.

  Goligoski generated an assist against the Lightning on Thursday. Goligoski has yet to score a goal this season while chipping in six helpers over 20 games. With the veteran blueliner averaging less than a shot per game (.85), he is unlikely to break out of his goal drought any time soon, especially considering he is averaging the lowest ice time of his career (15:13).

Goligoski had two goals and four assists in 46 games last season with the Wild.
