Shattenkirk recorded an assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.
Shattenkirk was scratched for Game 5 on Tuesday, but he checked back in for Matt Grzelcyk in this contest. The helper was Shattenkirk's first point in the postseason to go with three shots on net, six hits and two blocked shots over five appearances. The 35-year-old blueliner is stuck on the third pairing, so he shouldn't be counted on to make significant contributions on offense.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Nets rare goal
Rotowire
Shattenkirk scored a goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Penguins.
Shattenkirk put the Bruins ahead with his second-period tally. The defenseman's playing time has been sparse lately -- he's suited up in just five of the team's last 13 contests, though he has four points in that span. The 35-year-old is up to six goals, 23 points, 75 shots on net, 84 blocked shots, 52 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 59 appearances. The Bruins will likely continue to rotate Parker Wotherspoon, Andrew Peeke and Shattenkirk through the third pairing to keep everyone fresh heading into the playoffs.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Three helpers against Sens
Rotowire
Shattenkirk notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Senators.
A healthy scratch for the last two games as the Bruins take a longer look at Andrew Peeke, Shattenkirk hasn't scored a goal since Jan. 2 -- a 25-game drought -- but he's been generous with helpers of late and has eight in his last nine contests. The 35-year-old blueliner also has 12 shots on net, 13 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating during that time.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Two-point effort against Vegas
Rotowire
Shattenkirk collected two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Golden Knights.
The veteran blueliner helped set up Jesper Boqvist in the first period before feeding Mason Lohrei for a one-timer late in the third period for the game-winner. Shattenkirk has four points, all assists, in his last five games, but on the season the 35-year-old has only five goals and 17 points through 48 contests.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Logs assist in shootout loss
Rotowire
Shattenkirk notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.
Shattenkirk has not played more than two games in a row since mid-January. The 35-year-old set up David Pastrnak's first of two goals in Monday's game. Through 47 outings, Shattenkirk has 15 points, 63 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-3 rating. With Derek Forbort (coach's decision) likely back in the fold Thursday versus the Golden Knights, Shattenkirk will presumably again find himself as a rotational option on the third pairing.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Suiting up Tuesday
Rotowire
Shattenkirk (illness) will play Tuesday versus Tampa Bay, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Shattenkirk sat out two games as a healthy scratch prior to missing Monday's practice with an illness. He will replace Parker Wotherspoon in the lineup versus the Lightning. Shattenkirk has five goals, 13 points, 61 shots on net and 54 blocked shots over 42 outings this campaign.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Shattenkirk missed Monday's practice due to an illness, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Shattenkirk has been a healthy scratch for Boston's last two games, so even if he's feeling well enough to play, he could be watching Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay from the press box. The 35-year-old has collected 13 points through 42 contests this season.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Notches 100th NHL career goal
Rotowire
Shattenkirk scored twice Saturday in a 5-2 win over New Jersey.
Shattenkirk made it 4-2 late in the second period with his 100th NHL goal, and he scored his second late in the third on the power play. His four goals in 28 games this season has already matched his goal total over 75 games with Anaheim last campaign. The 34-year-old Shattenkirk has a lot of mileage (919 games) in his game, but he can still deliver secondary scoring on the power play. Half of his 10 points this season have come with the man advantage.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Two PP helpers Friday
Rotowire
Shattenkirk produced two power-play assists in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Islanders.
With Charlie McAvoy (upper body) sidelined, Shattenkirk has taken over point duties on the Bruins' top power-play unit and cashed in, helping to set up tallies by David Pastrnak in the second period and James van Riemsdyk in the third. Shattenkirk also has a goal with the man advantage in the three games McAvoy has missed so far, making him an enticing short-term fantasy option, but on the season the veteran blueliner has just two goals and eight points in 23 contests. Once McAvoy is healthy, Shattenkirk will return to being waiver-wire fodder in most formats.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Nets power-play goal vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Shattenkirk supplied a power-play goal in a 5-3 win over Arizona on Saturday.
Shattenkirk's marker came early in the second period to put Boston up 3-0. It was his second goal and sixth point in 21 games this season. Shattenkirk has been used sparingly this campaign, averaging just 16:37 of ice time going into Saturday's action. The modest role has limited his fantasy value, though he's at least maintaining a steady presence on Boston's second power-play unit.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Scores first goal of 2023-24
Rotowire
Shattenkirk netted a goal in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.
Shattenkirk's marker came midway through the second period to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead. It was his first goal and fifth point in 18 contests this season. Shattenkirk does tend to be utilized on the second power-play unit when he's in the lineup, but he's also been a healthy scratch in three of Boston's last seven games. As a result, he might not play regularly enough going forward to have much fantasy value.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Two shots in win
Rotowire
Shattenkirk recorded two shots and one blocked shot in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
The 34-year-old has been battling some lower-body injuries, but he's been back in the lineup for the past two games and has tallied four blocked shots over that span. In his past five outings, he has one assist and 10 shots while averaging 14:58 of ice time per contest.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Goalless to open season
Rotowire
Shattenkirk remains without a goal through 11 games this season.
Shattenkirk's offensive production has been minimal with just two helpers and 19 shots despite averaging 2:00 of ice time with the man advantage. With Charlie McAvoy suspended, Shattenkirk has been skating with the top power-play unit but could fall back to the No. 2 group once McAvoy returns.

Bruins' Kevin Shattenkirk: Heading to Boston
Rotowire
Shattenkirk agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with Boston on Saturday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
Shattenkirk had four goals, 27 points, 145 shots, 56 PIM, 79 hits and 115 blocks in 75 contests with Anaheim in 2022-23. Eight of his points came with the man advantage thanks to him averaging 1:50 of power-play ice time last season, but he might not get much of a role in that regard with the Bruins. For that reason, it wouldn't be surprising if the 34-year-old defenseman's offensive numbers dipped in 2023-24.

Ducks' Kevin Shattenkirk: Nabs assist Thursday
Rotowire
Shattenkirk logged an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Shattenkirk had four helpers over seven games in April. The veteran defenseman was solid but unremarkable in 2022-23, logging 27 points, 115 blocked shots, 145 shots on net, 79 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 75 contests. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and it's tough to see him matching the $3.9 million cap hit he had on his last contract.
