• Devils' Brenden Dillon: Adds insurance tally

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Dillon scored a goal and levied seven hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues. Dillon has three points, 15 hits and seven blocked shots over his last six games. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to play on the top pairing at even strength, providing physicality and a shutdown mentality alongside Dougie Hamilton. Dillon is up to two goals, nine points, 21 shots on net, 87 hits, 57 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 34 appearances. His lack of offense limits his fantasy appeal, but he's on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the fourth year in a row.

• Devils' Brenden Dillon: Finds back of net in win

  11/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dillon scored his first goal of the campaign Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Capitals. Dillon floated a wrist shot through traffic to put the Devils up 2-1 at 7:08 of the second period. The 34-year-old compiled two shots, one block, four hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:16 of ice time to round out a useful fantasy performance. This type of outing is rare for the stay-at-home defenseman, as his marker Saturday was his first point in November. The British Columbia native has logged one goal, four assists and a plus-6 rating through 23 contests this season. He has served as a key penalty killer for the Devils while logging 2:14 of shorthanded ice time per game.

• Devils' Brenden Dillon: Registers assist

  10/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dillon notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks. Dillon has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him four assists through 12 games this season. Since the Devils welcomed Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes back from their respective stints on injured reserve, Dillon's ice time has taken a nosedive, though he's still listed in a top-four role. The 33-year-old blueliner has logged just six shots on net while adding 29 hits, 27 blocks, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His physical play is consistent, but offense will be hard to come by if he slips down the lineup.

• Devils' Brenden Dillon: First helper with new team

  10/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dillon logged an assist, three hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. Dillon picked up his first point as a Devil in his third game with the team. The 33-year-old blueliner has opened his New Jersey tenure on the top pairing alongside Dougie Hamilton. It's a good spot and one that could lead to some trickle-down offense, but Dillon's game is based on physicality and playing a shutdown role. He has seven hits, six blocked shots and 11 PIM over three contests in 2024-25.
