• Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Notches assist

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Hamilton posted an assist and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks. Hamilton has received some in-game rest for each of the last three contests, playing less than 20 minutes in each of those games. He has three assists in that span, and it doesn't appear to be a performance issue -- the Devils simply have their preferred personnel available on defense, so head coach Sheldon Keefe doesn't have to lean on his top guys as he did earlier in the month. Through 13 outings, Hamilton is up to a goal, six helpers, 44 shots on net, 15 hits, 19 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

• Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Pair of helpers in win

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Hamilton notched two assists, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks. One of his helpers came on the power play. Hamilton saw a four-game point streak end Friday, but he responded with his first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 31-year-old defenseman is pushing play in the offensive zone with at least three shots on net in 10 of his 12 games this season. He's collected a goal, five helpers, 44 shots, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating while seeing top-four minutes and power-play time.

• Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Extends point streak in loss

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Hamilton registered a helper on the man advantage in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings. Hamilton banked a secondary assist on Nico Hischier's third-period power-play marker. Hamilton added six shots, two blocks, one hit and a minus-1 rating to go along with a team-high 24:28 of ice time. The right-shot blueliner is currently riding a four-game point streak consisting of one goal and three assists after failing to register a point in his first six outings. Since Luke Hughes made his season debut in Thursday's loss, Hamilton will likely need to produce offense at a consistent pace if he wants to fend off the former for the quarterback role on the No. 1 power-play unit. Hamilton has posted four points (one goal) and a minus-5 rating over 10 games.

• Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Ties game on power play

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Hamilton scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals. After opening the season with no points over six games, Hamilton has gotten on the scoresheet in back-to-back outings. The defenseman's process has been solid throughout -- he's posted multiple shots on net in seven of eight contests this season for a total of 28. Hamilton has also logged 11 hits and 16 blocked shots, which is an uptick from his usual level of physicality. Now that he's shaken off the rust, fantasy managers can deploy Hamilton with confidence as a borderline No. 1 fantasy defenseman.

• Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Gets on scoresheet with helper

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Hamilton notched an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Senators. Hamilton's offense was a bit late to the party, but he's finally cracked the goose egg in the points column. It's likely the 31-year-old defenseman had to shake off the rust after missing most of last season due to a pectoral injury. Hamilton has added 24 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances, so fantasy managers should continue to be patient with the blueliner, who has reached double digits in goals in eight of his last 10 seasons.
