Middleton posted an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues. It was a well-rounded effort for Middleton from a fantasy perspective. The 28-year-old's scoring pace has predictably dropped after his hot start -- he has just two points over his last eight games. He's at a total of three goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net, 24 hits, 45 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 18 appearances in a top-four role.

Middleton scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Ducks. Middleton opened the scoring at 7:31 of the first period. The 28-year-old defenseman had been held off the scoresheet in three straight contests following his five-game point streak. Middleton is at three goals, six helpers, 23 shots on net, 20 hits, 37 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 14 contests in a top-four role this season. He's put himself in an excellent position to surpass the career-high 25-point campaign he had in 2023-24.

Middleton provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning. Middleton's improbably good start to the campaign continued when he set up Brock Faber's go-ahead goal in the third period. The helper gave Middleton a five-game point streak (one goal, six assists), which is the longest streak of his career. He's up to eight points, 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 10 contests. At this point, he's worth a look in standard fantasy formats, and he'll return solid value in formats that reward non-scoring production throughout the campaign.

Middleton scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Flyers. Middleton has earned five points over his last three games.

Overall, he has two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net, 13 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across eight appearances.
