Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Expected to play
Zadorov (ankle) is slated to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
Zadorov missed Monday's game versus the Rangers, but he was a game-time decision for that contest. He also returned to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens after sustaining the injury, which suggests it isn't likely to be a long-term concern. Zadorov is expected to fill a top-four shutdown role Tuesday.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Not playing in NYC
Zadorov (ankle) will miss Monday's road game against the Rangers.
Zadorov will miss his first game of the campaign Monday due to an ankle injury he sustained Saturday against Montreal. The Bruins will play in the second half of a back-to-back at home Tuesday against Nashville, but it's unclear if Zadorov will be available for that matchup at this time.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Game-time decision
Zadorov (ankle) will be a game-time call against the Rangers on Monday, per Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site.
Zadorov temporarily left Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal, but he came back to play in the third period. He has produced one goal, 16 assists, 63 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 130 hits and 121 PIM across 52 appearances this season. If Zadorov is unavailable to play, Henri Jokiharju will probably be in the lineup against the Rangers on Monday.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Status in question for Monday
Zadorov sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens, and his status for Monday's road game against the Rangers has yet to be determined, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.
Zadorov was unable to practice Sunday due to his ankle injury. The left-shot blueliner can be considered questionable for Monday's matchup in Manhattan. If Zadorov is unable to suit up against the Rangers, Henri Jokiharju will draw back into the lineup.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Posts assist in loss
Zadorov notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
Zadorov hasn't scored a goal since Oct. 16, a span of 45 games. Since the start of December, he's contributed eight assists, 71 PIM, 44 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 23 outings, mainly in a top-four role. Zadorov's aggressive play is his best trait in fantasy, and he chips in just enough offense to stay on the radar. He has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 129 hits, 119 PIM, 74 blocks and a plus-16 rating through 50 contests this season.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Snags helper Tuesday
Zadorov posted an assist, four hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.
Zadorov has been chipping in regularly in December, earning four assists over his first seven games of the month. He's added 10 hits, 19 blocks, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating in that span. The Bruins are missing four blueliners to injuries, but most of them would fill depth roles rather than challenging Zadorov for a top-four spot. On the year, Zadorov has 12 points, 40 shots on net, 95 hits, 55 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a plus-12 rating, putting him on a career-best scoring pace with ample contributions everywhere except the power play.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Offers pair of assists
Zadorov notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Kings.
Zadorov has picked up four helpers over his last four games. The 30-year-old skated a season-high 26:19 in this contest and could continue to see heavier usage while Charlie McAvoy (face) is on the mend. Zadorov is up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 44 PIM, 73 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Deals helper in win
Zadorov notched an assist, two blocked shots and nine PIM in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canadiens.
Zadorov snapped a seven-game point drought by helping out on Marat Khusnutdinov's first-period tally. The 30-year-old Zadorov hasn't hesitated to mix things up this season either, and he showed that with a fight against Jayden Struble off the opening draw. For the season, Zadorov has five points, 19 shots on net, 68 hits, 40 PIM, 26 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 20 appearances, making him a prime source of toughness for fantasy managers in need of that.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Credited with goal
Zadorov scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Golden Knights.
Zadorov scored at 16:44 of the first period, though the goal was initially credited to Jeffrey Viel, who was around the net. The tally was Zadorov's first of the season, giving him two points through five contests. He's added 25 hits, 10 blocked shots, five shots on net and a plus-5 rating. The 30-year-old blueliner is better than he gets credit for, though his ceiling is likely around 25 points, giving him more appeal in fantasy formats that reward physical play.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Nabs assist in win
Zadorov logged an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
Zadorov was listed on the third pairing but still saw 21:59 of ice time Wednesday. He doesn't have particularly high scoring upside -- his career high is 22 points, which he set in 81 outings in 2024-25. Zadorov could still help fantasy managers in banger leagues, as he's topped the 200-hit and 100-PIM marks in three campaigns each.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Earns two helpers in finale
Zadorov notched two assists, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
Zadorov had a positive end to the season, picking up five assists and a plus-10 rating over the last six games. He's not the most talented scoring blueliner on the Bruins' roster, but he was forced to play a larger role since Hampus Lindholm (kneecap) and Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) missed large chunks of the campaign. Zadorov concludes 2024-25 with 22 points -- matching his career high -- as well as 105 shots on net, 219 hits, 107 blocked shots, 145 PIM and a plus-25 rating across 81 appearances. That level of production will give him appeal in deeper fantasy formats in 2025-26.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Available vs. Chicago
Zadorov (personal) is set to play Thursday versus Chicago, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Zadorov was questionable due to a family matter, but it looks like he won't end up missing any playing time. The 29-year-old blueliner has four goals, 19 points, 139 PIM, 210 hits and 104 blocks in 78 outings with the Bruins in 2024-25.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Status uncertain for Thursday
Interim head coach Joe Sacco said Wednesday that Zadorov is dealing with a family matter, and his status for Thursday's game against Chicago is uncertain, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
Zadorov has recorded points in two of his last three appearances, but the Bruins won't know until Thursday whether he'll be able to suit up against the Blackhawks. If the 29-year-old is unavailable Thursday, Ian Mitchell will likely enter the lineup for the Bruins.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Gathers helper in Saturday's win
Zadorov recorded an assist, nine hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.
The Bruins had a rare good game, and while the top line did most of the work, Zadorov got involved with a helper on Morgan Geekie's opening tally. The assist ended a nine-game slump for Zadorov, who also missed one contest in that span for personal reasons. Zadorov is at 18 points, 102 shots on net, 101 blocked shots, 204 hits, 137 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 76 appearances this season. His offense is slightly down after three straight 20-point seasons, but he's as physical as ever and has been a defensive stalwart for a team that's struggled in the defensive zone for much of the campaign.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Rejoins team
Zadorov (personal) rejoined the Bruins for Friday's practice.
Zadorov missed Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Anaheim because he was away from the team. He should draw back into the lineup Saturday versus Detroit, which might result in Ian Mitchell being a healthy scratch. Zadorov has four goals, 17 points, 135 PIM, 183 hits and 96 blocks in 72 appearances with Boston this campaign.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Unavailable Wednesday
Zadorov has returned to Boston due to a family matter, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
The Bruins will play in Anaheim on Wednesday, so Zadorov won't be an option for that game. He has four goals, 17 points, 135 PIM, 183 hits and 96 blocks over 72 appearances in 2024-25. Ian Mitchell is projected to draw into the lineup due to Zadorov's absence.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Rare goal in win
Zadorov scored an empty-net goal in a 4-0 victory over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The Bolts pulled Andrei Vasilevskiy early, and Zadorov found the empty net at 14:52 of the third period to push the score to 3-0. He isn't exactly known for his offense -- he has four goals and 12 assists in 65 games this season, which puts him on pace for his third straight 20-point season. But he has 167 hits, which puts him on pace for his third career 200-plus slam campaign.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Tallies multi-point effort
Zadorov scored a goal and added an assist during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Zadorov was the sole helper on captain Brad Marchand's goal before tallying one of his own with a slapshot from long range. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to three goals, 11 assists, 76 shots on net, 81 blocks and 140 hits across 57 games this season. Zadorov has points in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The defenseman also continues to lead the NHL in PIM with 117 minutes spent in the box. While his value in fantasy is best suited for a banger league, he is skating over 20 minutes per night, which is a new career high. As Boston continues to chase a playoff spot, Zadorov should continue to see steady value in leagues that reward hits and penalty minutes.

Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Collects assist in loss
Zadorov notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
Zadorov has just three helpers, along with a plus-7 rating, 41 PIM, 35 hits and 40 blocked shots, over 17 games since the start of January. The physicality is a given with the 29-year-old blueliner, and any offense is a bonus. For the season, he's at 12 points, 74 shots on net, 138 hits, 80 blocked shots, 117 PIM and a plus-14 rating across 56 appearances.
